Filed under: Computers, Media

For those whom I haven’t told yet, I got a few sentences media exposure in a Manila Bulletin Manila Standard Today column.

From the August 9, 2005 Digital Life column by Chin Wong:

… Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos tells us Katrina isn’t alone. This site http://gmailfeatures.grytoyr.net/, lists the most wanted Gmail features — and will even let you vote for yours.

The author happened to be a member of the PH-Cyberview Mailing List and it was in one of this threads that I was able to tell him about the Most Wanted Gmail features link. Below is the body of the email I sent to him:

There’s this site that does a survey on what features gmail users most want.

On fear…

Filed under: Quotes

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
- Litany Against Fear, Dune

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
- Master Yoda, Star Wars Episode I

Interestingly enough, the Star Wars universe has been listed in the fiction inspired by Dune page in Wikepedia.
