Drafts, Part I

I've been wanting to do this...

A collection of unpublished posts. I don't know a similar meme already exists. But here's the idea. Find all your posts never got past the "draft" stage. Take the title, and the date on which it was supposed to be posted. Add the first line (or few words) of the original post, then comment on what the post was about, to add more context to your drafts.
Here we go:

  • Neko No Kimochi (May 6, 2004)
    • "i am not good at"
    • it's supposed to be a post about a favorite japanese song (sang in a very cute way by a little japanese girl) - Neko no Kimochi. The lyrics is actually as cute as the music. :P
  • Google's Next Step? (July 16, 2004)
    • "I was pondering over the possibility of Google eventually delivering an instant messenger client..."
    • pre-Google Talk talk. :P
  • Google Flavored Search (July 26, 2004)
    • a post about Google's early efforts on personalized search back then, you have to manually "teach" the personalized Google search engine about your preferences and interests. Now it does that for you...
  • MSN News Bot (August 3, 2004)
    • "if you have been watching closely the developments in the technology landscape, it is not new to you then that Microsoft has turned its eyes to Google as its new target."
    • a post about MSN News bot, a Google News copycat from Microsoft. Back then, people actually believed that Microsoft can easily topple Google (just like what they did to Netscape, or Apple).
  • The REAL deal (August 18, 2004)
    • "Here's the thing, as Real wants you to see:"
    • a post about Real's pathetic attempt to make the world believe that all they really wanted to do when they cracked Apple's DRM is to make this world a better place by "opening up" the iPod, and not gain market share for their own profit...
  • Sound the horns... (again) (September 2, 2004)
    • "Microsoft launched the beta version of the MSN Music store today, a day earlier than everyone expected"
    • Before the Zune Marketplace, there was MSN Music store (and a couple of other microsoft technology-powered music stores) that tried to stop the store that would eventually become the most popular and most succesful (so far) Digital music download store: Apple Itunes Store
I'm too sleepy, this is shorter than what I originally intended Part I to be, but you get the idea. :). Till next time, for the continuation.... (hint: they're not all tech stuff, so they are actually more interesting than this)

  3. Hey, I really like Escaflowne's music too. In fact, I really liked the anime itself, although it feels maybe five to ten episodes too long.

    Neko No Kimochi, Marle/Melulu/little catgirl without pants's song is too cutesy to make my short playlist though. ^_^

  4. Yeah, i wanted to watch it again when Cel was still my roommate but the length really discouraged me many times. heh. I don't even remember how I got through it the first time...

    I have no idea where my Escaflowne songs are. I stil have this huge backlog of file-consolidation task. :p and i think they're
    in one of the hard disks lying around sa bahay... Sana andun sya sa maayos. Yeah, Neko No Kimochi can be too cutesy...but then again i have a weird music taste.

    oh, naalala ko lang how cel "sang" one of the main esca songs --- "broot broot broot", or something like that haha. Sigh, I really should find those mp3s..
