Our Week in Adelaide

Isaak Kwok — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:19:22 +0000

We just spent our first week in Adelaide.

Things are okay so far though we are having a little difficulty in locating a place to rent that takes pets. We put in an application for a really nice place last Friday and hopefully the agent would get back to us with a positive answer.

As for me, I’m actively looking for work and hope there would some interviews soon.

So, for those who are reading this and are friends, do leave a comment or drop me an email via the contact form.

UPDATE: On the same evening, the agent called to say that our application has been successful. Will be the signing the lease on Wednesday.

Solar System is the Biggest Junkyard

Isaak Kwok — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:34:38 +0000

The white dots in the graphic above represent a orbital garbage in the Low Earth Orbit that NASA is tracking.

ScienceNews has posted an article explaining how the trash is monitored and why it can be really dangerous as most pieces are flying at more than 20 times the speed of sound. An example is a piece of trash the size of a tiny marble can have as much energy as a bowling ball going at about 805 kilometres per hour.

Wired has a blog on writing a feature story

Isaak Kwok — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:23:45 +0000

Wired recently started a blog about the creation of a feature article on Charlie Kaufman that is scheduled to appear in the November 2008 issue.

It is definitely interesting to find out about the process of how a magazine prepares for an article, from storyboarding, pitching, and the logistics required to complete a feature article.

Maybe I’ll have a chance to write a feature article in some printed magazine in the near future. Or maybe just for this blog. :)

UPDATE: The offer has closed. But you can still purchase the wonderful Thesis theme.

Thesis is currently having a promotion whereby a purchase of the theme for Wordpress gives you an additional theme, Cosmo, that would released shortly. However, you’ll have to hurry as the offer ends on midnight, 31 August (Pacific Standard Time), i.e. about 2pm, 1 September (Singapore time).

I think I’ll be slowly migrating my blogs to the Thesis theme in due course … when I can find time. :)

The secrets of a six-figure blogger revealed

Isaak Kwok — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:07:45 +0000

If you have ever wondered how someone makes a six-figure income online using a blog, I have a video you just HAVE to watch.

Here’s the link:
Blog Mastermind Video

Yaro Starak, a well-respected blogger and blog trainer, released a free video that takes you inside his Internet business, which is based on just one blog.

Using his blog, Yaro generates a steady $10,000 to $20,000 each and every month.

His system is not your usual story of using a blog and sticking AdSense on it - he’s taken a much more BUSINESS focused approach.

He calls his system “Conversion Blogging” because it combines a blog with an email list to create consistent income.

Inside the video you will learn:
- Why blogs are the only Web 2.0 marketing tool you will ever need
- Exactly how Yaro uses his blog to build a MASSIVE email list
- How just a blog can turn you into the No. 1 authority in your market
- What methods Yaro uses to translate his blog into a steady cash-flow stream
- How you can replicate Yaro’s methods using just one blog and get started in minutes

I loved this video because it’s not full of marketing hype, just a very down to earth and practical presentation.

I guarantee you will enjoy this and learn something too.

Set aside 32 minutes now, grab a drink, sit down and watch this video -

Bye for now,
Isaak
