I was just looking through my website statistics, and noticed that two webpages made up more than 80% of my website traffic: Moon Represents My Heart by Teresa Teng and What is Dry Humour?.

Where did edonn.com go?

In case you’re wondering where http://edonn.com has gone, well, it has now moved to http://donn.wordpress.com! The move is permanent, so you might want to update your links. All the previous permalinks to my writings will still work, however. Why the move? Well, let’s just say I have other plans for edonn.com. [ READ MORE ]

The Spread and Potency of the H1N1 Virus

I’m currently reading the book The 11th Element by Robert Allen. 15 pages into the book and I hit a paragraph where the author lists some far-fetched claims of occasions that I may have had experience with the “11th element”: You’ve tapped in “the invisible network” yourself. Haven’t there been times when you knew something was [ READ MORE ]
