This question was posed by suns.com during the 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend at Phoenix to NBA players and fans.

Even Gary Payton, Chris Webber and Ahmad Rashad had a funny argument over this.

How to Carry Your Bookmarks Anywhere

Category: How To

When surfing the internet, we encounter thousands of web sites. When a web site piques our interest and is worthy of revisit, we usually save its web page location or URL. It’s hard to memorize thousands of web sites isn’t it?

For Firefox users, we bookmark it…

…and Internet Explorer users favorite it.

Our internet bookmarks (or favorites) are saved in our computer’s hard disk and available for retrieval anytime you wanted to.

But what if you are in an internet cafe or on some other person’s computer and would like to revisit that website about Hayden Kho and Katrina Halili’s scandal videos but couldn’t remember it? How you wish you can carry your internet bookmarks with you.

Category: Personal

UPDATE: As of 5:00 AM today, February 22, My Ark Full of Worry-Free Thoughts version 2.0 is already up and running after more than 4 days of downtime.

I checked my old blog at i.ph on Wednesday morning but this sign below appears.

I was quite amused at the site’s choice of picture to illustrate their announcement. I just shrugged it off thinking that this is just as what they exactly said, a regular checkup.

Shaq Puts on a Show at the 2009 NBA All-Star Game

Category: Basketball

After Shaquille O’Neal was named to his 15th NBA All-Star game, he promised that he will go to work and make this a memorable one. As a gracious host (the game was held in his home court Phoenix), he entertained his guests in ways he only can deliver in what might be his last All-Star game.

He started it off during the West All-Stars’ practice on February 14 when he and Chauncey Billups participated in an attempt to break the most free throws made while blindfolded in 1 minute. The standing record is 5 which Billups tied. Shaq made just 3. I wonder how many can Shaq make NOT blindfolded?
