wrote posts on the Kobo Vox Color eReader which I got recently

Recently, I got a Kobo Vox eReader which is a Google Android color eReader 7 inch tablets made by Kobo which is a Canadian company which makes eBook readers, and sell eBooks on their online market place.

I wrote a few blog posts on the Kobo Vox on PcTutorial.info on my experiences with the Kobo Vox which I used for gaming, internet, media consumption, ebook reading, and other tasks.

The main things I like about the Kobo Vox is the price tag, and the bright color capacitive 7 inch touch screen. Plus, it is pretty fast for a tablet ereader which only has a 800 MHz CPU and 512MB of RAM. The mono speaker is kind of quiet, but good enough for listening to in an empty room with very little noise, but the Vox would sound a lot better with external speaker or headphones.

Read my review of Kobo Vox ! and Accesories for Kobo Vox.

gaming on Vox playing games like Angry Birds

Why the Vox is a good multimedia playback device!

So far, after a few weeks of owning the Vox, I have been very please with its performance as both an eReader, and inexpensive gaming, and multimedia playback capabilities of the Vox for a 199.99 dollar color eReader!

Got rid of a lot of my shorter blog post on this blog

johnsonyip — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:58:03 +0000

I decided to remove a lot of my shorter blog posts on my WordPress.com blog since they did not represent this blog very well at all, and I got no traffic to those short post. It also made this blog look lazy and unorganize because none of my shorter blog posts had titles, tags, or categories associated with them.

Plus, using a blog as Micro-blogginh service like Twitter, Google Buzz, FriendFeed, or Tumblr is kind of weird since blogs are meant more for sharing more information, and not really meant to be Status updates.

Blogs are more suited for writing longer paragraphs, articles, and posts which are longer, and provide useful information to the readers rather then simple updates like “gone shopping for books” which you typically find on social networks.

I plan on writing longer blog posts in the future, and add more pictures, and videos to this WordPress.com blog. If I get enough traffic, subscribers, and comments I might even buy a domain name for this blog in the near or far future.

I would also use my WordPress.com blog to summarise some of my new blog posts on my other blogs at Johnsonyip.com and Pctutorial.info since Search engines are difficult to get tons of traffic to when there are a lot of websites who write about the same thing. Plus, the 160+ character limit for search result description for websites can be very hard to sum up what my article is about compared to blogging about what my website is about to my subscribers on the blogs.

I also use this blog to post new YouTube videos from my YouTube Channel at YouTube.com/johnsonyip1 since I got a lot of videos which don’t get a lot of views on YouTube, but if I embed the videos on this blog I would get more views if readers find my videos interesting.

File Shredder Utility for Windows Vista and 7 Sidebar Gadget

johnsonyip — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:03:20 +0000

The Windows 7 File Shredder Widget/App which you can place on your Sidebar is available from the Windows Live Gallery website. It is available for Windows 7, Vista, XP. I like that the App/Widget works similar to your recycle bin, but you can’t recover files from it because it securely deletes the file by overwriting it 1 or more times instead of just marking it as deleted which means with free and simple data recovery software, it is possible to recover the file which you deleted.

I just register for a wordpress acount to get an Askimet ID, but also decided to get a blog as well.

johnsonyip — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:02:53 +0000

I already own a few wordpress blogs at http://johnsonyip.com/wordpress , http://johnsonyip.com/blog .

I decided to try out Askimet. I don’t have a spam problem, but I am prepared for spam if I ever get any by using Akismet ID for WordPress

wordpress.org blogs are great. They are easy to use for beginners. WordPress is my favourite blog program. I like it more then Joomla, and Drupal which are a lot harder to use in my experience.
