I’m giggling at the title… If you’re persian, you know why. Picture in your head one of those persian commercials over-pronouncing the oaaaahhh in blooaaaag. And then “haaaaaa”. Funny. Almost as good as this guy’s article, “the Persian Blogestan.” You gotta love it. Plus he has some very […]

     I like my apps tiny yet robust. Feature-rich but without the baggage. Less bloat, extra strength. I say no to CPU hogs, yes to “pound-for-pound” best fighters, like Bruce Lee. If they can run on my desktop background without affecting anything else, that’s the ideal for me…I don’t have to waste […]

     I just got my website hosting bill in the (e)mail yesterday, and it got me thinking about the good & bad between web hosting companies.
     Right now I am using two different web hosts for my sites: Lunarpages and 1&1. Both are good, but they are totally different. I see Lunarpages more as a […]

Using SIP (the most standard open-source protocol), this guide will show you how to get FREE incoming(with your own call-in number!) & outgoing calls through your softphone with multiple voip providers, along with setting up your sip address.

I watched it on Amazon where it was unavailable(sold out?) for some time, saw negative reviews, not only for its high price of $250, but also for its quality, and decided not to bother buying it.

The other day I must have downloaded a faulty video, because no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to play. I thought I needed to install video codecs, which of course turned out to be unnecessary, but now that I went through the process, I thought there may be others trying to […]

I’m the type of person who constantly seeks information, researching any question or idea that pops into my mind. In this eternal quest, I have found a few websites that have impressed me with their ability to bring sharp minds and cool ideas together into one (online) community.

expert village - my new favorite site […]

Have you ever wondered what this was? Or have you ever tried downloading something through a program, but no matter how you fiddled with your firewall, you couldn’t seem to get through? Sometimes your ISP or your own router can be stopping you, since they’re set up to shut out harmful ‘traffic.’

A month ago, the New York Times published an article named “Free Services to Inspire Your Cellphone,” and in it there are 2 absolutely free services that I find pretty jaw-dropping.

Free Directory Assistance, dialing 1-800-FREE-411 (does have an ad you have to listen to though). Or, text message 46645 (G-O-O-G-L) with what you need(in […]
