Short Roundup of Things

Here are some pieces of "news" that I think were quite "newsworthy" for me. (It's my blog, anyway)

I. Yahoo Closing Down Yahoo! Photos

For some time now we’ve supported two great photo sharing services, Yahoo! Photos and Flickr. But even good things come to an end, and we’ve decided to focus all our efforts on Flickr – the award winning photo sharing site that Time Magazine has even called “completely addictive.”

On the plus side, Yahoo! will be offering a three (3) months free Flickr Pro membership account for those who make the switch from Yahoo! Photos to Flickr.


II. Finished My LLM Exams!

On the personal side, I finished off my last LLM paper. Here with the very fun, very memorable ADR (Alternative Disputes Resolution) class, taught by the unforgettable Ms. Guna & Mr. Foong.



III. Blake on American Idol -- "You Give Love A Bad Name" REMIXED



Caught this on TV while doing my revision. Quite an unforgettable performance, and the good thing is he managed to pull it off. I think this performance is the most memorable performance for me so far, on the same level with William Hung (but in a good way).
