Socialwok, Friendfeed for Google Apps
People like to label us as the Friendfeed for Google Apps. For the less inclined a “Facebook for Google Apps” will do just fine. In any case we were in the area and decided to visit the old Friendfeed offices. They probably moved to the Facebook buildings since their acquisition. We also ran into the office of the popular iPhone app Evernote. See and download the full gallery on...

Old workspace
My old workspace, thats “Mouse” the cat. From the books it looks like I might have been busy with some Symbian development. I don’t touch the stuff anymore.

Zimbabwean dollar
The Zimbabwe government redenominated the ZWD again on February 2, 2009 at a rate of 1,000,000,000,000 old ZWD to 1 new ZWD.
Are they kidding, this is like a curely joke on the people of that country. It might make more sense to sell the money as scrap paper and the melt the coins for scrap metal. The arbitrage profit might even make that a viable business.
