The Must-Have Gadgets for every Blogger!

Whether tech savvy or not, most bloggers are entrenched in a digital-based culture that is more far-reaching than just their online sites and or writing personas.  It starts with just a simple website and then the next thing you know, you’re investing in digital things you never knew existed before but know are necessary now!

I never considered myself a lover of gadgets until starting my own blog with my sister Sally two years ago… Now I’m constantly looking for things that can make my digital life easier to manage.  So, I’ve gathered 10 digital gadgets that I think any blogger would benefit from having.  Even if you’re not a blogger, the things I’ve found would probably be useful to almost anyone.  And if anything, they are all great looking!

Google adds South Sudan on maps

About South Sudan---
Google the world's number one online search engine has updated its maps to include the newly independent Eastern African nation of South Sudan.  

This latest development comes after a campaign by a South Sudanese journalist, who posted an online petition calling for the new country to be separately included on online maps.

John Tanza Mabusu, a Washington, DC-based South Sudanese journalist working with VOA launched a petition on change.com which saw 1,600 people backing it. 

Mr.Mabusu was still surprised that his home country was missing on all online maps despite attaining independence last July and wining recognition as sovereign state.

"The inclusion of South Sudan will give the people of that new nation pride and a sense of belonging, as citizens of a sovereign nation on the map," asserted Mabusu.

"I'm hoping that now that Google has officially recognised South Sudan on their maps, the other major online mapping services will quickly follow suit."

National Geographic said its print maps and mobile apps had been updated, but its online mapping service was outsourced to the Bing maps website, which uses Microsoft maps.

Bing's map of Sudan does not yet have the Sudanese border marked, although its information on the South's capital city of Juba clearly indicates it is part of South Sudan. Yahoo either does not have the map.

However, It still remains unclear whether Google's amendment to the Sudan map came as a result of the online campaign.

Your dress. Then mine !!!

Have you known any boy or girl, man or woman that is so obsessed with designer wear ?

You have probably had a friend or relative that can not resist the temptation of stomping 

the yard clad in huge Tommy Hilfiger T-shirt or any other outfit that bears catchy printings.

I personally, am not quite a fan of such simply because in most cases it attracts a lot of attention 

unnecessarily. I would never attack the day all wrapped in garment that does more ‘shouting’

than ‘speaking’ unless there is an urgent need to do so.

However, I do agree that we are all made different and our tastes and preferences vary.

I would never criticize you for dressing in a particular way because even Bintou JB has 

many outrageous remarks he has made when it comes to fashion and wardrobe.

Just check this out !!!

‘G’ For Green. Let’s Go Green !!!

G10, G8, G5 and so on. We have had and heard enough of whatever that ‘G’ stands for.

Our politicians and leaders are doing the talking, raising voices and coming up with all the best of suggestions. We appreciate them for that noble effort.

Personally, I believe we have done enough talking and time is almost out. Could we engage some action? The time to act is now. I suggest that the letter ‘G’ be used to mean ‘GREEN’ (for forestry/nature conservation).

Our global environment is at the verge of destruction and before we know it all the vegetation and forest cover will have disappeared.

‘G for green!!!’. That is the way it should be. Less talking, more acting. I believe that if we all work together, we can save mother nature from perishing !!!

Melodies' Craze !!!

Music everywhere.
Online and offline.
I have heard sounds,
And have loved them.
Lots of Audio wonders
Have I heard
Yet I still yearn for more.

I have sung in the shower,
Hummed in the bedroom
Cried in grief,
And laughed aloud
When times are good;
Made music even without
Intending to do so....
