Blogger seems okay now

Now this is weird, it seems that the blogger interface is okay on my desktop after i logged in using my laptop.....

Some problems with blogger

Thought of posting something recently (after all its the holidays), but it seems that there is some problem with my desktop's browsers that causes the edit/post screen to be totally screwed up. It seems fine on other computers though. I wonder what is the problem.

Screwed up formatting

Sorry about the screwed up formatting for the quoted article, but it seems that blogger's "easy to use, microsoft word like" interface produces weird results. Nothing the technically computer inept me can do at the moment to it. Until the day I actually go and open some book/website on basic html tags... the formatting shall remain buggy...

Brand/logo Music

Just something interesting that I observed while watching TV ads. It seems that quite a number of big brands are attaching a short tune/sound together with their logo. Examples that I can think of include Marigold(was watching that ad when it crossed my mind), Intel, KFC, Pizza hut, King Coil.
I bet there are many others out there as well....

I guess this sort of advertisting strategy is part of a company's logo strategy. Instead of having your logo in just a visual form, its more impactful to have it in multimedia form with audio as well, giving your brand/logo a more concrete impression. And in media like radio where there's no visual element in the ads, the logo tune/sound is able to take the place of the visual logo instead of having your brand just being spoken in words, lost in the sea of other words used in radio ads. However I would definitely consider the King Coil 'spring sound' is used too many times in a single ad that it gets really irritating. Boing Boing Boing all over the place...

Comments

To all readers of my blog(well is there anyone?), here's a friendly invitation for you to leave comments on my blog. If there is enough demand for a tagboard I might decide not to be lazy and actually put one.(which i am clueless as to how to put it, given how hopeless I am at web publishing)

Have a good day everyone!

On English language

Was reading the book "Cryptography: A very short introduction" and came upon a few interesting points.

According to the book, the most common letter is the letter "E" with 12.7% Other common ones includes T: 9%, A: 8.2%, I: 7%, O:7.5%.
The really rare ones include J, Q, V, Y, Z, all at 0.1%. The most common 3 letter word in the english language is "THE".

However these are only statistical results, for "we note that there is a 200-page novel that does not use the letter E(Gilbert Adair's transaltion of A Void by Georges Perec)"
I really wonder how the novel is like to not use the letter E at all......
