An appeal from Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales

Written by Mocona on 27 December, 2008 – 1:53 pm -

Dear Reader,

Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation. This might sound unusual: Why does one of the world’s five most popular web properties ask for financial support from its users?

Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website. We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003.

At its core, Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers - all dedicated to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.

But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a common cause: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s our commitment. Read more »

Wordsplosion!

Written by Mocona on 19 December, 2008 – 9:00 am -

My wife Sarah and I were in Wal-Mart last night, when we saw someone walking around with a shirt that said “Girl’s go’in wild.” We had a good chuckle over the atrocious and arbitrary punctuation. Then I thought “hey, this might make for a good blog.”

4 hours later, Wordsplosion was online. It’s pretty amazing that you can go from idea to execution in a matter of hours using WordPress. Wordsplosion showcases “the best of the worst of the wide world of words.” It contains (and will continue to contain) all manner of grammatical errors, punctuation gaffes, misspellings, horrible typography, etc. It’s LOL cats for smart people.

I used the amazing Journalist theme as a base. Go check it out!

Written by Mocona on 3 December, 2008 – 9:00 am -

Tadi dapet ini sejarah browser / program untuk ke internet… gile lucu banget.. dibawakan dengan gaya bahasa kitab2, tapi cukup ringan sehingga kita bisa dengan cepat mengerti apa maksudnya… yang berkecimpung di dunia komputer pasti ngerti sebagian, dan yang tidak berkecimpung pun jadi tahu kira2 bagaimana sejarahnya kok sekarang kita bisa sampai menggunakan Internet Explorer atau Firefox.. atau yang terbaru Chrome…
