I have been doing some readings on a new platform of the Internet. Blogging was a big thing a few years ago. Web 2.0 was born. However, just as fashion will get stale, blogging has reached a plateau where "its just another blog". With youtube/twitter/plurks/photo-sharings/feeds/wikipedias, the Web is truly a social media. We are connected in ways that will enable greater sharing of ideas, dissemination of news and storing of ones' life.
Right now I see blogs as a single dimension on this Web 3.0. No longer are our contents confined to blogs and it will be myopic to think of blogs as the ends to the means. The re-design of my Lifestream, albeit a really bad imitation of the real thing, showcased a multi-dimensional approach to web designing. The intergration of all medias and Web stuff, has relegated blogging to being equals to other dimensions and not the platform itself.
Visitors to my blog, though I suspect that I am only talking to myself, will find that my blog entry will only be a part of a bigger platform to represent Kenneth. Indeed, the term "blogspot" is inadequate for my vision and the objective to present my Lifestream.
In times to come, there will be a new platform for us to update our Lifestream. This is the beginning. A nascent one.

About Me
- Kenious Kongiaz
- Name I am Kenneth. Kenneth is of an Irish origin: Cainnech. My full name is Kenneth Kong Jin Quan. Chinese name is 江锦权. Other AKAs are Kennyboy, Kenornot, Ken and KK. Usually, I would like to be called just Kenneth. My pals call me KK. I hate it when people call me Kenny, for no reason other than a hated tutor in my University was also called Kenny. Furthermore, Kenny has this connotation of a sissy (no offence, but I just feel it that way). Birth I was born in 15 February 1983, on the Third Day of the Lunar Year that year. Apparently, it was also 41 years after the Surrender of Singapore to the Japanese during the Second World War. Hence, every year in Singapore this date, I have the whole nation celebrating with me, under the guise of Total Defence Day (with the national siren alarm activating 12 noon on that day). I was born in KK Hospital. It was THE hospital to be born in during my time. Almost everyone I know and knew, who are around the same age as me, were born in KK Hospital. Perhaps it isn't that special, but, considering that Kenneth Kong (KK) was born in KK Hospital. Pure coincidence or it is just a prelude to something great?
