Shooter

GIGN

If you're wondering why my Twitter feed is in a low-tide mode, chances are I'm at PSN gaming network playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Free-for-all or Team Deathmatch. I can't put into remembrance when was the last time I played (and got addicted) shooting games.

Long gone are the days of Counter Strike, Rainbow Six, Delta Force and whatnot. So for this post I'm just going to geek out about my exploits of late in MW3. The above video is probably one of my highest kill streak since entering Prestige mode.

I know I probably made at least to 11 before hand but still I'm no pro gamer so achievements like this is a highlight for me.

Anyway my perks are the following:

Rotate

Rotating Twitter Widget

Finally after months of searching and testing the much coveted rotating Twitter widget, I finally got the right code. Also, this code includes retweets, even the new retweet function.

Before anything else, every Blogger blogger should know that when you try to make changes to your template it is always imperative to backup your template.

Step 1

Go to template > edit HTML > find </head>

Paste the following code before </head>

<!-- jQuery library -->
<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>

<!-- Tweet Rotator -->
<script src='http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34682988/TwitterFeed/scripts/rotate.js' type='text/javascript'/>

Save template.

Step 2

Add HTML widget and add the following code.

<div id="twitter_div">
<ul id="twitter_update_list" class="rotate"></ul>

<!-- Twitter Feed -->

<script src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/yourusername.json?include_rts=true&callback=twitterCallback2&count=5" type="text/javascript"></script></div>

Change highlighted text in red to your own username.  Change highlighted text in yellow to the number of tweets you want to allow to rotate.

Step 3

Enjoy!

#AwayWeHappened

Away We Happened

This web series is been a while now but for you who haven't checked it out yet you can still catch up with the episodes.  The finale will be on the 28th of June, that's tomorrow.  It's produced by AT&T and Wong Fu Productions.

"Away We Happened" is a new and unique web series where you help decide what happens! Wong Fu Productions (Wes, Ted, and Phil) has teamed up with AT&T and their friends Victor Kim and Jen FrmHeadToToe for this one of a kind project!

There's a lot of amazing guests like independent music artists Paul Dateh and David Choi.  Jeremy Lin also makes his appearance in one of the episodes.

Also, you can participate by watching, submitting your own sequel or vote on your favorite and help decide where the story will go.  The episodes after the jump.

Wander

"Not all those who wander are lost."

What is Wander?  I have no idea but the beautifully designed startup website draws users to register to find out more.  So I did, yet there's still a large big chunk of the puzzle missing.  If you haven't registered yet, you'll see this on the site's front page.

Sustainability

The following post is my entry to the #NokiaSustainabilityChallenge in my desperate move the hopes to win a Nokia 808 PureView.

Day 1:  Walk

I make daily deliveries of cakes and pastries to a local hospital here on Tuesdays through Saturday.  To save on fuel and as a means of exercise, I leave the car in our favorite parking area and walk back home.  The above video is a record of some of my walk/run sessions.

Day 2:  Disconnect

We have a new rule at home running for the past two weeks already.  During weekdays, our internet connection, router, PCs and PS3 are not to be used in the morning.  We get to only to use the devices at 1PM to 11PM.  It was quite an adjustment.  Online we siblings hack and shoot zombies or play Team Deathmatch on Modern Warfare 3 but this time, music jam!

Weddings

Randy & Mercy Wedding

It's a blessing to see a lot of friends getting married this year.  For starters, wedding websites and invitations are not really my forte but I took one project over the summer.  I guess there is always a first time for everything and it's great to see the outcome of the project which is still on-going by the way.

Wedding Website

It has come to my attention that wedding websites are now part of the trend when planning a wedding.  With the help of social media it is now very easy inform everyone about the details and to keep everyone in the loop.  The article from Mashable, "7 Reasons Why You Need a Wedding Website" should give you an idea.

There's a lot of free online wedding platforms but I used Blogger instead and bought a domain.  I used the Blogger version of Memoir which was originally a WordPress theme from Elegant Themes.  The main reason I chose Blogger is that freedom to heavily customize the template to your liking.  You can view Randy & Mercy's wedding website here.

Juggle

Social Media Channels

As I was updating my revamped Yahoo! Profile.  It is also a long overdue post that I need just to let it out and well, to break off this ice.  I would completely understand if you don't understand anything with this post.  Thus, you've been warned.  These thoughts on social media, particularly on social networks are based on my own meandering experience.

Infancy

Remember the days of Myspace and Friendster?  They used to be fun.  Checking your Myspace or Friendster profile was fun.  It was not compulsory for you to check on those sites every minute.  There was no wall of your friend's activities back then, still it was fun.  There was such a thrill when a friend posted a testimonial - especially if they were just spontaneous about it.  Another thing I noticed is that people actually connected on those days despite the limitations given on those days.  That I believe is the infancy of social media.
