Finally. A Blog.

Though I'm still having difficulty finding out how to add a subdomain in my registered domain, I'm quite happy that I've found a blogsphere with easy to use instructions. I admit, I'm not really a Web2.0 guy yet I do agree that That is where the internet is headed. It gives us the voice. It gives us a channel. It gives us a medium.

This account would aim to discuss things that somewhat enter this stressed-out head of mine every now and then. When ideas do pop-up, I end up emailing my friends who, in turn, fuel my initial pop-up idea and even contribute better, more mind-boggling, and (sometimes) weirder trails of conversation. On a personal note, I couldn't dedicate this blog to any niche conversation as this is just a personal one. I'm not aimed to voicing out consumer wants, enterprise needs, animal rights, or anything specific. I just wanna blog, blog, and blog as the rest of the world has already been doing this for the past decade eversince the internet accomodated FTP and other unknown forms (to me) of communication.

The Arf, the Meow, and the BloopBloop signify the sounds I hear after work hours. Though the bloopbloop sounds caused by George, my arowanna, is something I've never heard, it's still a sound that, I guess, resonates inside his thick-glassed aquarium at home. The arf sounds come from a multitude of sources at home yet the music is made when David, Oia, Sophia, and Chloey sing in unison about either a) "Dinnertime!", b) "Turn-off-the-lights-coz-we-wanna-sleep!", or c) "Turn on the aircon!". The meow is from my friend, Obama. Not the Democrat, but more of that black muscled persian at home that's only cuddly when hungry. Other than that, he won't talk to me so I don't cuddle on his paws.

Or should it be the other way around?

These sounds could also become more complicated as time goes on. The sounds could be created by the fast zooming of technology, the clamor of new services, and even the echoes caused by industry wars happening all over the globe from developments, to marketing competition, to mergers and acquisitions, to sales targets, to research and development, to plain old techno-lusting between the old and the new. The Arf would signify those that are out in the open (e.g. Vista, OS X, iPhone). The Meow makes noise, but not too much, about those discussed globally but not too loud (e.g. Linux developments, AJAX). The BloopBloop represents those that are just, well, bubbles and rumors of the industry (e.g. teleportation). Though I think that some seem too farfetched as of now; who knows what could happen in the future? Someday, I just might even be able to link my registered domain to this site to make it look good in the browser window. Who knows, right?

As for me, I'm a quiet guy. I like to work. I like to read and talk. I like to learn. I like to listen. I like to bark, purr, bloop (?) and make sounds of my own in different ways. I like to be the Kim of Jackie.
