The Amazingly Generous Pickens

May 25, 2008

After checking out my Technorati profile, I browsed the net and came across a news about the $100 Million academic gift to Oklahoma State University. Wow, what a lucky university! I then read the news and became even amazed to the person behind the said $100 million gift. The donor’s name is T.Bonne Pickens who is an alumnus of OSU.

I searched about T.Bonne Pickens and found out that he is in the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s list of top U.S. philanthropists and has now given over than $700 million to philanthropy! Whew! I can not contain my admiration to his generosity in giving away huge sum of money to help improve the lives of so many people as well as to his exceptional capacity of earning enormous sum of money.

He is so awesome and sure a very fortunate individual on Earth tasked to make & multiply money tremendously.  I hope that all rich individuals around the globe will be as generous as Pickens because if that happens, the scarcity in the world will significantly reduce.

Trying Out The Squidoo

May 24, 2008

I heard about Squidoo even before I started blogging but I did not bother to check it out until a friend mentioned it to me last night. So just this morning, I immediately went to Squidoo, look around and decided to start a lens.

Squidoo is great because majority of the information you can find there are quite useful. Squidoo is one site where you can read a lot of insightful write-ups and do-it-yourself tips. Everybody at Squidoo share their expertise or what they know about something and this actually give me a bit of hesitation whether I could fit in it.

So I think about something that I learn recently and online social networking suddenly popped in my mind. I just recall what I learned and put them together. Sure it is not that comprehensive but it still contain some social networking tidbits that might be useful to novice social networkers who are still in the process of learning it.
