Because my brain is too small to rememeber all these junks…
Tonight Y! launched developer.yahoo.com, along with web services API to make it’s search technology available for anyone who wish to experiment with it. Now, only if I can come up with a good application for this… hmmm… Any luck tsl? :D
There’s a good coverage and links at Jeremy Z’s (Y! Evangelist) blog.

Ultramarathon Man :. Dean Karnazes
As an internationally recognized endurance athlete, Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits. Among his many accomplishments, he has run 262 miles (10 marathons nonstop), swam across the San Francisco Bay, run a marathon to the South Pole, mountain-biked for 24-hours straight, surfed the gigantic breakers off Northern California and Maui, and run 146 miles across Death Valley in the middle of summer to the top of Mt. Whitney. On one occasion, Karnazes ran 100 miles all-night to the start of the Napa Valley Marathon, and then completed the marathon in 3:15. He has raced and competed across the globe, holds numerous records and distinctions, and is a member of the American Ultrarunning Team representing the USA at the 2004 World Championships.
I read about this guy in Time magazine. When more than 99.9% of the Earth population can’t run a marathon, some of his accomplishments are just mind-blowing…

Here’s something I got from my friend Lorraine. Instead of spamming everyone I know, I will post them here :)
This is what you’re supposed to do..and try not to be lame and spoil the fun! Copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it into a new email. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you. Then, send this to a bunch of people you know INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little-known facts about your friends. It is fun and easy.

» Flickr Acquired by Yahoo? - Search Engine News Journal
Yahoo may be interested or may have already closed its acquisition of Ludicorp, the parent company behind the photo blogging / photo sharing / photo uploading service Flickr. Apparently this is not the first time that Flickr has received an offer from Yahoo, and reportedly Google had also offered to buy out Flickr last year.
If true, it would be awesome!

Very cool works of Jonathan J. Harris, an “Information Architech”, including 10×10 the interactive news display, WordCount which ranks words by how often they are used (#1=”the”, #76827=”yahoo”, “Google” is not on the list yet) and QueryCount which ranks how often a word is searched in WordCount (#1,#2,#3=the-f-word,”sex”,”love”, #536=”yahoo”). He’s also very talented in “information designs”.

Audi RS4: 4.2L V8 0-100km/h in 4.8, available in US in mid-2006.. that would give us about 4 years to enjoy driving it before the impending oil crisis hits ;)

Today’s Forum featured Bill Hayes, author of the book “Five Quarts: A Personal and Natural History of Blood”. Sounds like a very interesting read. But what’s more interesting was a comment from one of the caller, who explained why venous blood appear blue.
A vein looks blue because red light travels far enough into the skin to be absorbed by the blood in the vein. If the blood vessel is far enough below the skin, however, blue light–which would normally also be absorbed by the vein–reflects out of the skin before reaching the vein. So the light reflecting from tissue over the vein contains less red light than blue, giving the vein a bluish cast.
