// testing, testing.

And I’m guilty of the complaining.

GigaOm on NYT.

I’m pretty sure this is new. I haven’t paid NYTimes too many visits since I started to RSS all my news. But there was a nice surprise today to see GigaOM to be featured in the Technology section of the web-newspaper.

What happens to my things on the web after I die?

While reading online over the last few weeks, I came across this article on the TechRadar, and it got me thinking. I don’t believe that it is depressing topic to think about, because death is inevitable.

Like the article says, domain names die once you stop paying for it. Sites like Flickr continues to store your photos despite inactivity. Or at least as long as the company survives.

Then it got me thinking about the longevity of web companies. With the continual changes on the internet, will the websites keep up? fall behind? or eventually be forgotten?

Will we outlive some of the website we currently use? What will the lifespan of the World Wide Web be?

I have been on a social networking high. Podcamp Hawaii was an absolute success!

Out of the newsroom socializing with some cool new people was definitely refreshing

I’m going to attempt to turn my head off, for the rest of the night.

More tomorrow!

Over the last couple years, I’ve attempted to keep track of my finances manually. I’ve tried keeping my checkbook balanced, having a special notebook for my credit card expenses and balances. Making a spreadsheet was as far as my attempt went.

They all failed, miserably.

Why? Because I can never remember to update them daily.

Today on Twitter, Zach Honig shared a website called mint.com. Mint is a website to help you manage, understand, and budget your finances all in one place. I was excited to come across Mint because it was exactly what I have been looking for.

I began by adding all of my credit card accounts and my checking account. In less than 10 minutes, and there it was, a list of my transactions, and the amount of credit card debt I am in. Some transactions were already put categories, which can easily be changed.

Once I categorized all my transactions, I was able to view pie charts of where most of my money goes.

You will see what you’ve been spending most of your money on, and from that, decide how to budget yourself.

I have setup some personal budgets for what I would spend on iTunes, eating out, ATM, etc.

I am really working towards being out of debt. And why do all this manually when I can save time and have my finances consolidated in one place.

Spreadsheets no more! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
