My First Taste of Alexa Glory
For the first time ever, I’ve finally seen this blog showing some traffic and chart patterns on Alexa after shooting into daily top 100K in Alexa ranking yesterday. For the past few months, it has been gaining stable traffic and Alexa ranking has been improving on a month to month basis. In fact, I should say on a week to week basis.

How To Stop Telemarketers From Calling You in Australia
It’s really simple and it’s free to do so. Just goto the Australian Government’s Do Not Call website and register your home and mobile phone. It might take as long as 30 days before telemarketing agencies or individuals update their lists to recognise your registration and stop calling you. But at least, you get some protection.

My First Phone/Mobile Spam From Telemarketers
Yup, you read that right. It happens in Australia as well. I was in bed when I receive this call on my mobile promoting an offer for a popular Australian Online Jobs Website. Using a prerecorded message instead of a real person speaking make the call sound even more like a telemarketing spam to me. I don’t even have to wait for it to finish as I’ve got zero toleration for these morons to use my mobile number without my permission.

I enjoyed reading this article titled “Our Electric Future” written by former Intel CEO Andy Grove, where he discusssed several issues with fossil fuels, its importance in our daily lives, why American presidents all failed the same goal and what alternatives solutions that can be used to replace fossil fuels.
Out of all alternatives, it seems that electricty is the best source as Andy refers to it as the only source that is “sticky” – it can only be transfered over land and thus remains on the continent on where it is produced.

Impressive 3D Video of Inner Workings of Human Body
Anyone fancy on some cool 3d animation created to show the biology of the human body can have a look at this video.
I studied biology back in high school, thought of being a physiotherapist at a certain stage but that didn’t happen. I’m still amazed how the human body operates till this day. We have nervous systems, bone structure, blood systems, and defensive systems to protect ourselves against disesases and one of the most developed and complex brain and neuron systems. It’s amazing being human, isn’t it?
Sometimes I forget, but this saying reminds me of just how important our health is to each of us:
Take care of your body, and it will take care of you
