I’ve decided that there’s a lot of potential for my blog to go in many different directions, since, after all, its title is “Everything Tech.” I could focus on the same kind of content that I find when I read a lot of the inspirational websites that I subscribe to on Bloglines, my RSS feed reader, or I can be a little bit different.

I’m choosing the path less traveled by.

The focus of the “website of the day” blog (or, I’ll be likely to provide an update every few days with only resourceful links) is to share something new and unique — or so I hope. Further, it’s something that you should be bookmarking or digging on its own merit, not on the fact that I’ve decided to publicize it.

Without further ado, I now feature onNYTurf: NYC Subway Google Map. For me, as a New York resident, this is one of the most interesting subway maps that exist today. I should also mention at this point that I am married to a transit geek; just check out his gallery.

Edit 9/30/06: Gawker adds on this and provides a NYC Subway Smell Map. Ah, no thanks. Maybe I’ll walk after all. –tw

I have to admit, although I’m pretty much on top of technology, especially in the social networking sphere (hey, I still have a lot to learn about SEO, but when AOL first came out with its concept of buddy lists, I was in the beta program), there are a few places where I just took my precious time and didn’t sign up. Most recently, the site that had me signing up late in the game was MySpace. It’s really surprising that I even went ahead to register for an account on MySpace, because PCWorld puts it at #1 on the list of the worst 25 web sites ever.

So why the sudden appeal? I’ve long been a friend of Facebook, a far neater and easier system to navigate, not to mention one that is extremely fast to use. I truthfully never think I’ve ever seen the “Sorry, an unexpected error has occurred” message on Facebook, while the MySpace page I am working on right now (for work-related purposes) has been giving me such errors daily.

I write on this new blog with high aspirations. techipedia.com is a domain I’ve had for about a year. When I registered it, it was great to see that it was available on all three primary fronts (.com, .net, and .org). I registered all of them with the intentions of making it a tutorial and knowledge base site. While I never had time to quite develop that functionality, it is very likely going to be part of the site in the future… if the domain doesn’t sell (it’s up for auction with about 2 days remaining).

A lot of people have been asking me why my domains are up for auction at what appears to be a costly price. To be perfectly honest, I asked a few people who gave me ballpark numbers near $10k for the package deal due its to uniqueness. The auction price is much lower than that. I guess that the name itself does indeed have potential. However, there is no interest in the domain name as of the present time because there is nothing on the domain… which probably means that with no content, there’s no reason to be selling a domain.
