Protecting original content online

After doing quite some research online today, I've settled on myows.com to get certification for original content (poetry, articles etc.). In addition I will follow some tips from the following articles:

How To Protect Your Blog From Content Thieves

Catching Copycats: Protecting Your Online Content

I hope this info is useful for Pi and Kitts in protecting their short stories and photography respectively. GG, have you been writing any poetry that you'd like to publish online? I'm going to create a section for that on this blog. I've finally decided to come out of my shell and publish some.

Alaska Trip - Denali National Park, Seward

July 1, 2009 - July 7, 2009

Landed in Anchorage on July 1, ~11:35pm. We booked our tickets using Northwest miles and got first class on the forward journey. The first class lounge experience was ordinary; they didn’t have a vegetarian meal for us (the ticket said

“NONE” for meal service or we’d have specified our choice in advance). We just had salad, drank a lot a lot of diet cola and ate some chips. It was good to get their DigEPlayer though I have to say the screen is pretty small and unclear. We both watched “Quantum of Solace” on our individual DigEs. It’s not better than a laptop but the advantage was not having to worry about battery power or carrying DVDs. I also watched an episode of Bones once that was through. R watched best of 2008 Ads or something. I sat in the aisle seat because of my current claustrophobia issues. R enjoyed the window seat…great views of Portland and then Alaska itself. The other advantage was that it never got dark since we were traveling north at this time of year.

Michael Jackson

Well, I thought this at least deserved a blog entry. Kind of sad, eh? 50 is quite young to die.

Also makes you think how fragile life is. If they can’t revive someone like that, there’s little hope for the rest of us!

Well, thanks to Michael for all the good songs and memories. May his soul rest in peace.

A Poet is born

There once was a man called Bill

Who had a great instinct to kill

He found a duck,

The poor duck’s luck

Now the poor duck lies still

My views

Pessimism - such a wasteful state of mind

Explore and I think, you’ll find

A ‘fatalist’ it’s better to be

‘Cause then it’s all ‘fait accompli’

No point worrying since your future is predefined.

Where is my book?

Which one of you has taken Vikram Seth’s “Beastly tales from here and there” without letting me know?

Happy B’day Pi

Happy Birthday to Pi. Here’s the best gift I could come up with in 10 minutes :)

There once was a girl named Payal

whose iPhone refused to dial

she tried and she tried

but her calls were denied

because Apple ended her free trial

Tiny relics of the past.

I was just going through some stuff and came across this:

This is the first toolkit (if I can call it that) that I bought. Coming back from Mayo, it was purchased at Midway circa 1990. Imagine how long it has been with me. What other things do people have that they are carrying around? Probably went to their drawer when leaving home and those little things are still tucked away in a drawer somewhere?
