A Cambodian Student Looks at Life in Two Different Worlds


A Quote From 19th Century Khmer Poetry

My Blog Is Worth B$9,578.58!

Believe it or not, that's what I learned from Blogshares.com today. Almost ten thousands dollars. That's quite a high price for a small blog like mine. On top of that, my blog is " available to trade," according to the site. Funnily enough, someone apparently owns my blog. He's currently holding 80% of the total shares. Thought someone was making fun of my blog. Curious, I went to the site's Home and found the following introduction:

BlogShares is a fantasy stock market for weblogs. Players get to invest a fictional $500, and blogs are valued by incoming links.

That answers my curiousity. Blogshares.com is apparently quite popular, though I hadd never known its existence till today. Well, not only me who is listed for the valuation, but also everyone on my link's list. Some information about each blog are, however, out of date.

Quote of the Day

A few days ago I was shopping for an iPod at an eletronic shop when I came across a message placed next to a newly released Sony Walkman's MP3 Player. Thought it was beautiful and worth quoting. The advertising slogan goes like this:
