Vote for Efren Penaflorida as CNN Hero of 2009

I have voted for Efren "Kuya Ef!" Penaflorida Jr. of the Philippines as my CNN Hero for the year 2009. Don't miss the chance to vote for him as well, as we appreciate his championing of children through his pushcart classes.

At 28, Efren offers Filipino youth an alternative to gang membership through education. Together with other teen volunteers, they have been roaming around the streets to teach basic reading and writing skills to the needy ones by using a pushcart classroom. Isn't it incredible and heart-warming that someone really cares for the needy, and have actually spent time and labor in providing knowledge to the children of our future? What are you waiting for, vote for Efren today. No limits in voting! Voting ends on November 19 (6AM ET).

Google Chrome Themes & Youtube Tip


Google aims to make its products more personalized by giving customization options to its consumers. In the previous months, Google has launched its themes for Gmail, and just recently they have enabled customization of Google Chrome's look and feel through themes as well.

With its recent Artist Themes for Google Chrome, the browser developer invited leading artists, architects, musicians, illustrators, filmmakers and fashion and interior designers from across the globe to create artwork for an unusual canvas: the modern web browser. The result, of course, is a mixture of passive and wild designs from both simple and overly creative artists. In addition, Google also has its own set of themes, but these are more on the simple side.



Haven't changed your browser's theme yet? You just need to open a new tab (Ctrl+T or click New Tab) and click on the lower right-striped design in your browser. Choose from hundreds of themes available.

Google Chrome tip on how to download Youtube videos after the jump.

How? Just simple - by coming up with a music video that speaks of the many must-see places in the Philippines through collaboration with MTV and Apl.de.ap (Allan Pineda Lindo) of the Black Eyed Peas, who is also of Filipino roots.
