Ultimate DIY Party Automation System

2 guys over at MIT created the utimate elaborate DORM-transform-into-party-mode system with the push of RED button, WICKED! The system turns an ordinary dorm room into a party, featuring blacklights, sound-activated strobe, fog machine, laser light shows, pumping dance music, trippy visualizations on an LCD display as well as an LCD projector, a spinning closet disco ball, glowing fluorescent lights, and more!

Top 10 Strangest Gadgets of the future

The editors of TechEBlog published this list of top 10 strangest gadgets of the future. My favourite has to be the gaming urinal, taking the idea from my 'shoot & goal' experience of a urinal in Salzburg. Although I bet there will be long queues to the toilets if they are indeed implemented in airports.

Are you a GRUP

Sunday Times published this interesting article about 30/40-somethings living their life similar to the youths half their age. The actual papers even have pictures of the dress sense of the GRUPs...definitely worth a read!

Sipadan Dive Trip

Went for a 4 day trip to Sipadan during my recent trip back home. Wasn't the best of trips, missing out on the hammerheads and barracudas, but overall still a wonderful break and always good to be back down blowing bubbles...Happy diving people!

New Macbooks - Black!


Latest Macbooks, meant to replace the existing product line of iBooks and Powerbooks, with a brand new flavour - BLACK. Absolutely sexy in my opinion, although I should not be surprised if we think back at the iPods that was launched with the U2 edition black as well.
Well, this is certainly tempting for me, although the prices on the US site is the most appealing. Have to make sure I can get one from there in the summer soon...

Upates: Eggs -> Chicks


As expected, the eggs hatched to 2 tiny chicks when we got back from our 2 weeks trip. Mother pigeon has been extremely protective since especially when I try to feed her with bread as she will interpret that gesture by flapping her wings hard to push my hands aside. This picture was only taken after I kinda "chased" the mon away to see the babies.

Actually I do not know if they are male or female. Any of you can provide a hint? Please don't ask me to carry them up to check for any potential "organs" too. ;-)
