I found this Blog on the WordPress Forums yesterday. I’m a major tech geek, so any site focused on that gets my Thumbs Up. Huy does a good job of selecting interesting topics, which range from Google hacks to mouse reviews. And it’s not your typical stale manna. The site stays fresh, with no less than seven articles having been written during my review. Currently, my favorite article is the one about the Sony Ericsson W43S, a phone I shall have to find while in Asia. Kudos, Huy, on your great site, and welcome to WordPress, too!
