K-ON! is a popular Japanese manga (comic) and animation. The second season of K-ON! was named K-ON!! (with two exclamation marks). The name K-ON implies light music in Japanese, a deviation of pop music. The story begins with how four girls of a light music club in a high school tried to save the club from being discontinued.
K-ON! started as a fout-panel comic and later adopted as animation aired on TV, original video animation (OVA) and movie. The TV anime has been very popular and widespread in the world thanks to TV networks such as Animex. There was also a Playstation Portable (PSP) game released in 2010.

Happy New Year!!! This is not a belated new year wish, I’m sending my greetings for the Chinese New Year. Today, 23 January 2012, is the first day of the Chinese year. If you have Chinese friends, you probably know that they are celebrating this big day.
To prepare for this Chinese New Year topics, I researched for related Chrome themes. Nope, there aren’t many. I then tried to find dragon themes because this is the Year of Dragon. Still in vain. Finally I found these 7 themes that are all red. Red is the color Chinese people associates with the new year and happiness. May I wish everyone a lucky and happy new year?
Today’s featured Google Chrome themes are Comics. I am not a die hard fan of comics, but I do have my favorite ones, such as Spiderman and Batman, particularly Batman which has a dark theme.
In this article I found 10 comic Chrome themes from Web Store. Most of them are Marvel Comics’ products but we also have some from DC Comics such as Batman and Superman. Which one do you like? Share your favorites here!
2011 was a terrific year. I started this blog in March and wrote 368 posts, that is more than 1 post a day. I just did a little data mining to find out the most popular blogposts in the last year.
Below are the top 10 blog posts in 2011:
I definitely think that 2011 was the “year of social network”.
6 out of the top 10 posts are related to social networks. And the majority of them talks about Google Plus tips and tools. This is certainly not an objective truth about the social network market shares, but more due to my personal preference of writing about Google’s services and products (Google+, Chromebook, Chrome).
2011 was not the first year when social networks are invented. It is however the year when a major market player, Google+, was released and when different social networks received major changes to the user interface and features (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). We internet users are so eager to share, making social sites the hottest market in the IT field.
The popularity of social sharing will definitely continue to grow in 2012. If you count the time you spend on the internet, you would find that at least half (or mroe) of the time is spent on social sites.
A little surprise is that 3 Chrome theme review posts got into the top 10. I started introducing and reviewing Chrome themes to build a regular column on Sunday. It turned out that people like giving their Chrome browser a new look once in a while. An even greater surprise is that Japanese anime themes occupied position #3 on the top 10 list. I was not aware of the fact that there are so many Japanese anime fans in the English world.
Chrome themes would definitely be a major topic that I’ll write more in 2012. (BTW, the above is my favorite Chrome theme in 2011)
#9 goes to Chromebook vs Android Tablet: Does Touch UI Matter?, a blog post that I compared my Chromebook and my 7″ tablet. I am not sure how you people categorize these two kinds of machines, but I’ll take them as “mobile internet devices” (what an old school term by the way). I said “internet” instead of “computer” because I believe most tablet uses surf the web and use apps to connect to the internet (Facebook, YouTube, emailing…). Chromebook is certainly even more web-centric.
To me, the reason I use Chromebook and tablet is they are fast and direct routes to the internet. Besides, they are lightweight and not power-demanding. Unlike my Macbook that I have to charge the battery everyday, my Chromebook could last for a week given approximately the same usage.
Obviously all IT giants know about this, so Apple has already released iPad and produced the smallest Macbook Air (only 11″). Google is said to have their own branded android tablet this year. Amazon also has Kindle Fire that rocked the market.
This is a wrap up of what my readers liked the most in 2011. I will be writing more about these topics in Cloud High Club. Are you one of the “social-network-Chrome-theme-mobile-internet-device”-holic?
Music is my energy supply. Whenever I work in front of the computer, I play music in iTunes. When I’m out, I bring my smartphone with music and put on my headphone. Even when I was in the college, I played music while studying for the exams. Music is part of my life, I simply cannot live without music.
Today’s featured Chrome themes are all music and DJ related. Enjoy the music!
