Pinterest

Pinterest is essentially a virtual pinboard, where you can organize stuff you find in the internet in pin it on virtual boards.  Looking at the core functionality, it is an information gathering tool and if you are like me you would most likely have an account with such a service.  But while others whisk your information away into your personal storage, this one gives you a graphical display which you can also share with others.

To learn more about Pinterest, visit their website.  I have just registered a couple of days ago and was accepted only a few minutes ago.  I am excited to try this out, as I do prefer having a graphical view of things I collect from the net.

Magic 89.9: pushing the envelope in broadcasting

Just thought I'd share this fascination I have with my favourite Philippine radio station, Magic 89.9. The content for one is really great, but in this case I am amazed with how they are using technology to make radio relevant in this internet age. I am talking in particular with the 6-9AM radio show, Good Times with Mo. One of the show hosts Mo Twister, needs to be in the US and so they are now using the current advancements in connectivity, with the DJs in Manila and Mo Twister in LA running the show.

What's that font?

I was helping out with a website project of some friends and wanted to re-do the logo.  Unfortunately nobody has a PSD or AI file to work with and I was not sure what font was used.  A friend suggested using the What the Font service of the website myfonts.com.  All you need to do is basically upload an image of the font in question and the system will try to identify it for you.

Was it able to identify the font I needed?
