REVIEW: Upload Robots
Upload Robots has a killer interface, no ads and no download wait times.
Upload Robots provides a simple and beautiful file manager with the ability to sort files into groups and search, something most other file sharing sites don’t have and haven’t done as intuitively.
Aside from a beautiful design and user experience there are a few things I wish they had. Marketed as “an online thumbdrive,” they really should have an iPhone app that shows your files and allows you to attach a link to your file in Mail and store files. It would also be nice if they had integration with social networks like Twitter and Facebook to post your files.
Kanye West Disses Taylor Swift: REMIX and MORE
Kanye West! You did it again, made the front page of YouTube, there are 8,017 articles about you Google News and a trending topic on Twitter! And according to Times Online, President Obama called you a “jackass”
What basically happened was Taylor Swift (who I love, shhh) was getting an award a the VMAs and she starts her little speech about how grateful and excited she is to be receiving the award and Kanye West runs onto the stage, grabs her microphone and says:
“Taylor, I’m really happy for you, and I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time”

Tips for starting High School, and Twitter as a Research Tool
Tips for Starting High School
The transition from Elementary to High school: you’re excited and anxious yet scared and nervous at the same time. You know it’ll be great and suck in other ways. Eventually all that anxiety comes to an end and you being your high school career.
What’s it like? I can’t tell you that, you’ve got to find out yourself. I asked a bunch of my older friends what it was like and the results of my consensus were heavily varied. It depends on what district, neighborhood, country you live in, or the connections and school to you go to.
One thing I everyone can know is that in the first week you should try to meet as many new people as possible. In my school, people came from 30 or so different schools (150 9ers) so not that many people already had a group that they hung out in. Since everyone is just getting to know the place, they’ll generally all be willing to hangout. Read more
NEW WEBSITE DESIGN: Features and Info
That’s right! www.NichM.com has just been completely redesigned!
In geek-speak, the site is heavily powered by AJAX and Javascript. In normal peep speak, this means everything on the site will load without you having to reload your browser or load a new page. Pretty awesome, I know, I know…
So besides that super cool feature, what else is in stock?
Features here now
- iPhone Optimized site – Yep, another new design for your iPhone or iPod Touch. (Thanks to WPTouch)
- You won’t see ads after your 20th or so visit, as a thanks for coming back. (Or you’ll just have to comment/subscribe in the future)
- Faster page loading. I’m using JavaScript to Footer, Script Compressor, WP Smush.it (smaller image file size) and WP-Minify
- Page Peel. Just eyecandy, but really cool.
- Full AJAX/Js site. The entire site will load real time without having to refresh your page (even comments, try it out!)
- Social Networking icons. I gotta give big props to komodomedia for releasing these sexy icons.
