I remember LASIK

It was an active thread right now in one of the communities/fora that I have joined, I remember LASIK! I remember the nervousness before the surgery but I didn't feel what I expected..it was painless and indeed high tech!, it's quite expensive but its all worth it. Would you imagine from a 100/120(?)  vision I am now 20/15! Yes, that's true my vision is better now and even better than the perfect vision 20/20. 

LASIK stands for Laser in Situ Keratomileusis.

An inspiring message from a good friend...

This actually increased my appetite to photography, a message from a very good friend: " Well, thanks Dalton. There's ALWAYS somebody better out there..!! OK, here's the deal. I'm going to take a few minutes to preach to you. First of all, you don't need an SLR or a fancy camera. A good photographer only needs a simple digital point and shoot, as long as it takes good clear pictures. I used a Fuji Finepix 2800 for many years until I fell and broke it. I'm using a Canon SD 800 now and its terrific..!! The camera does NOT make the photograph, it's the user. If you have a simple automatic point and shoot, it lets you concentrate on the photo and NOT the camera. You dont want to waste your time and energy on what the camera and lens are doing, you want to devote all our focus to the shot..!! The next thing to remember is this: A photographer is an artist. An artist is an entertainer. The public does NOT entertain easily these days, so your photos must be GOOD..!!! They must be interesting, colourful and captivating. To learn photography, you must start from ground zero. The basics..!! If you have a library there, get a beginners book on photography. You need to learn the "rule of thirds", basic composition and other basics. Always follow your eye. If a composition leads your eye out of the picture or away from the subject, then its a BAD composition.!! The key words here are FOLLOW YOUR EYE..!! A good photo must convey some kind of emotion, just like a painting or a song.!! If you have high speed internet, you might be able to find an online page on basic photography. You MUST memorize the rules..!! After that, you must go out every night or day and practice, practice, practice..!! Bring your shots home and look at them. Study them and see which ones seem to have good composition. Post the good ones on your stream and I will look at them and let you know which ones are the best. Learning photography is like taking Karate lessons. Its all about PRACTICE..!! You must ALSO look at thousands and maybe even tens of thousands of other peoples photos. Look the the work of the PROs and see what they do that looks so good. I learn from them every day. You never stop learning..!! Photoshop is a good tool. You need to spend LOTS of hours with it. If you get to know it well and REALLY learn it, you can get a job making LOTS of money.!! In the next few weeks, I would like to see you putting out a good product.!! I'm sure you live in an interesting town and there should be plenty of good people photos and street scenes to capture..!! OH, put your camera colour setting on "vivid". Your photos need all the colour they can get..!! Good luck. I'll be watching your stream. " Thanks for reading...now, why don't you start taking pictures also!

The Filipino's Most Common English Error

...from someone's blog, worth reading...;)

The Filipino’s Most Common English Error

Yesterday I spent some time calling campus administrations. I was trying to set up True Love Waits seminars for February. One of the secretaries needed to put me on hold and uttered a phrase that I’ve heard hundreds of times over the last five years: “For a while.” 

I remember hearing this awkward expression at fast food restaurants when I first arrived. I was then intrigued by the almost universal acceptance of its use as Standard English. I’ve heard it from almost everyone—from McDonald’s cashiers to college deans. 

Let me explain why this is bad, awkward English. “For a while” is a dependent clause. This means that it is not designed to be spoken by itself—it has to be connected to another clause to make it a complete thought/sentence. Here are some correct uses of this phrase, which refers to an unspecified length of time:

I’m going to the mall for a while.
I’ve been here for a while. 
I waited for quite a while (implying a longer time). 
He’ll be here in just a little while (implying a shorter time).

In each sentence, you see that “for a while” is modifying the independent clause. Each of these sentences would make sense if “for a while” was completely removed. Dependent clauses, however, make no sense whatsoever when they stated alone (with nothing to modify). 

Correct Alternatives 

I’m guessing that my beloved Filipinos think that “for a while” is the English equivalent ofsanda li lang. It isn’t. Sanda li lang is best translated, “just a moment.” Here are some correct alternatives for formally asking someone to wait:

“One moment, please” 
“Hold, please.” (for telephone situations)

For informal situations, you could also use these:

“Hang on”
“Just a minute/second”

These phrases may not look any better, but trust me, they are. The missing nouns and/or verbs are automatically added in our minds. 

I’ve traveled to other parts of Asia, and I can say that the Filipino’s English is quite superior to that of other Asian countries (at least, the ones I have visited). Let’s keep it that way. Please pass this along to other Filipinos—let’s not allow this mistake to be the first thing that foreigners hear.

It's a Cod liver oil bottle!

Ces gave us a "bottle" her dad got from some treasure hunting activities in Cavite. Its a transparent bottle with evident chemical deposits, dunno how can I describe its shape but what got us very interested in the bottle are some German words embossed in the bottle:

Eier -  Lebertran

OSSIN schmeckt gut

So, we did some googling and inquiries from our online pals and here's what we have gathered:

The German words translate to:

Eggs - Cod-liver oil

OSSIN ( Sodium fluroide) tastes good

It's a Dr. J.E. Stroschein's cod liver oil bottle and may be attributed to this:

"...J.E. Stroschein, who rose from an apprenticed pharmacist to a sucessful cod liver oil manufacturer between 1870 and the 1890s, were typical of the social profile of the radical nationalists.."

~p. 347 from

The Historical Journal, 21,2 (1978), pp. 327-354

Reshaping the Right: Radical Nationalism and the German Navy League, 1898-1908

Eley, Geoff/Emmanuel College, Cambridge UK

So, the bottle is quite old and worthy already...thanks Ces! - this would probably lead us to collecting antique bottles, at least we have a very nice one in possession.

Macbook Air...(drools)

Apple Introduces MacBook Air—The World’s Thinnest Notebook

MACWORLD SAN FRANCISCO—January 15, 2008—Apple® today unveiled MacBook® Air, the world’s thinnest notebook. MacBook Air measures an unprecedented 0.16-inches at its thinnest point, while its maximum height of 0.76-inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks. MacBook Air has a stunning 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in iSight® video camera for video conferencing, and a spacious trackpad with multi-touch gesture support so users can pinch, rotate and swipe. MacBook Air is powered by a 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB L2 cache, and includes as standard features 2GB of memory, an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive, and the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi technology and Bluetooth 2.1.

“We’ve built the world’s thinnest notebook—without sacrificing a full-size keyboard or a full-size 13-inch display,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “When you first see MacBook Air, it’s hard to believe it’s a high-performance notebook with a full-size keyboard and display. But it is.”

MacBook Air has a vibrant 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display that is energy efficient, and its spacious trackpad offers multi-touch gesture support for pinch, rotate and swipe, making it more intuitive than ever to browse and rotate photos or zoom into web pages in Safari™. MacBook Air features a full-size keyboard design in a sleek and durable aluminum enclosure. The backlit keyboard makes it ideal for dimly lit environments such as airplanes, studios or conference halls, and a built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the keys as well as the display brightness for optimal visibility.

MacBook Air delivers up to five hours of battery life for wireless productivity and includes AirPort Extreme® 802.11n Wi-Fi networking, which delivers up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g*. Apple’s Migration Assistant software now enables users to quickly transfer files, applications and preferences from your old Mac® to MacBook Air right over your wireless network.

MacBook Air users can buy the companion MacBook Air SuperDrive, a compact external drive designed for MacBook Air, for just $99. The MacBook Air SuperDrive® is powered by MacBook Air’s USB port, eliminating the need to carry a separate power adapter. Many MacBook Air users will not find a need for an optical drive now that they can wirelessly rent movies from the iTunes® Store, wirelessly backup files with Time Capsule and access the optical drives on remote PCs or Macs to wirelessly install software applications on MacBook Air.

MacBook Air is powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors running at 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz, and includes as standard 2GB of memory and an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive. An optional 64GB solid state drive contains no moving parts for added durability. Every MacBook Air includes a micro-DVI port so users can connect to Apple’s gorgeous 20-inch or 23-inch Cinema Displays to extend their desktop or connect to projectors and other displays via DVI, VGA, Composite and S-video adapters. MacBook Air includes USB 2.0 for plugging in peripherals or charging an iPod® or iPhone™, a headphone jack and Apple’s acclaimed MagSafe® Power Adapter designed especially for mobile users.

Every MacBook Air comes with iLife® ‘08, the most significant update ever to Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications, featuring a major new version of iPhoto® and a completely reinvented iMovie®, both seamlessly integrated with the new .Mac Web Gallery for online photo and video sharing. The new MacBook Air also comes with Leopard™, the sixth major release of the world’s most advanced operating system. Leopard introduces Time Machine™, an effortless way to automatically back up everything on a Mac; a redesigned Finder that lets users quickly browse and share files between multiple Macs; Quick Look, a new way to instantly see files without opening an application; Spaces, an intuitive new feature used to create groups of applications and instantly switch between them; a brand new desktop with Stacks, a new way to easily access files from the Dock; and major enhancements to Mail and iChat®. .Mac members can use the new Back to My Mac feature to browse and access files on their home computer from a MacBook Air over the Internet while out on the road.

The new MacBook Air embodies Apple’s continuing environmental progress with its aluminum enclosure, a material highly desired by recyclers; Apple’s first mercury-free LCD display with arsenic-free glass; and brominated flame retardant-free material for the majority of circuit boards as well as PVC-free internal cables. In addition, MacBook Air consumes the least amount of power of any Mac, and its retail box, made primarily from 100 percent post-consumer recycled material, is 56 percent smaller by volume than the previously smallest MacBook packaging.

Pricing & Availability 
The new MacBook Air will be shipping in two weeks through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $1,799 (US), and includes:

• 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with 1280x800 resolution;
• 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB L2 cache;
• 800 MHz front-side bus;

• one USB 2.0 port;
• one headphone port;

• 45 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter.

Build-to-order options and accessories include the ability to upgrade to a 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor; 64GB solid state drive, MacBook Air SuperDrive, Apple USB Ethernet Adapter, Apple USB Modem, Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter, Apple Remote and the AppleCare Protection Plan. Additional build-to-order options also include pre-installed copies of iWork ‘08, Logic® Express 8, Final Cut® Express 4 and Aperture™ 1.5.

*Battery life depends on configuration and use. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information. AirPort Extreme is based on an IEEE 802.11n draft specification. Actual performance will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network and other factors.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market with its revolutionary iPhone.

Boring Saturday

Rainy saturday...so boring.

Just got home...

Just got home, I had some nice badminton games, dinner with friends and a little catching up. 

Goodnight.

Letting myself fall asleep

Sipping Personal Time's red apple tea while listening to Shayne Ward's "No Promises"...I think I'm not doing it right, just imagine the amount of caffeine in that tea....;)

Goodnight guys.

Chemist by day...

I just finished my kinda tiring production for the day. I run out of C2H5OH!. For people who still dunno me, I'm a chemist again and again, so what I have finished just a while ago is a chemist's work...dont ask me where?!. It was formulation of several perfumes I use for myself and perfumes I also sell, so right now I smell like Brad Pitt or even better than him...hehehehe, you gotta try my stuff!, I really love my after-production smell... the mixture of different notes of the scent completes my day...always!...

So,  not much to do this afternoon, no workout schedule, no badminton tonight either...I'll just probably spend the remaning  hours of this afternoon playing "Billy Frontier"...You know it? let's play...I have won it from macheister.com...it usually cost like $20 I guess...but I got it for free! hehehehe...I'm so lucky!

Good afternoon folks!

What do my friends say about me?

Since my blog is also a way to know me aside from my friendster account, so I decided to copy all the things my friends have said about me, these are actually comments and testimonials from my friendster account..

Enjoy reading guys!

From Sharon, high school classmate:

Life of the crowd yan. Ala ata kaming naging dull moments way back in high school. 
Brains talga yan. Favorite nya sciences especially chemistry. 
Naalala ko pa dati lagi nya ginagaya si Ma'am Nicolas and si Cobb Bantress! Remember her?! hehehe
My basic history rin yung pagiging althletic niya ngayon. Kasi nung 1st year high school kami kasali kami sa inter level cheerleading competition! Remember those skimpy orange costumes that we've worn! Tapos kanta pa kami ng O me o my o weh oh, we are the freshman!.Gawin ang lahat para sa additional points sa PEHM. 
And yes, siya lang naman po ang first kiss ko! nyahaha!

Another student:

When i was in high school, ayoko na talaga ng chemistry kaya nga nagkasundo kami ng mga classmates ko na ilabas ang teacher's table, sarado ang pinto, isara ang bintana, patayin ang ilaw and magtulog tulugan lahat. That's how we hate our chemistry subject... pero ngayon na nasa college na ako and naging professor ko c Marlone Gregorio binago nia ang pananaw ko sa chemistry. If before ayoko sa chemistry ngayon, walang halong biro, mas lalong ayoko na... hahaha

Mr. Marlone is a type of professor na parang you're with your friend pero of course meron pa ring boundaries and limitations... A good professor of his subject... yun nga lang sobrang hirap magbigay ng test... pero gusto lang nia na may matutunan and of course to train his students.

For all the lectures, for all the extremely difficult quizzes, for the exciting experiments, for the funny jokes, for the chit chats, for my grade (hahaha), for the training, for the entire semester full of fun and difficulties.. thank you, sir

Dianne, my student, friend:

Ei sir!

wlang mgawa e, kya gwa n lng testi...

lam nyu kc c sir marlone sumosobra na 2 e.. sobra s gling, sobra s laki ng ktawan..(incredible hulk ang dating..) hehe.., sobra-sobra sa babae, sobra sa...hehe

Higit sa lhat.. SOBRANG TALINO..

basta galing mg2ro.. sa 220 lng mnsan kmi nila gracia pag sbrang tnatmad n mgaral ng bwisit n chem nyan..(hehe..).. tpos kelangan tlaga.. iniisip n lng nmin, "c sir nman teacher e..".. wla lng..

bsta ang galing ni2 mag2ro.. prang sobrang simple lng s knya ng asignatura..

kung pano k halos isumpa un teacher k nung hayskul s chem, mdyo baliktad nman ngaun.. (o xa-xa.. mdyo 2matama n ulo ni sir s taas ng bhay nila.. mdyo lumalaki n ulo.. hehe..)

Tpos galante pa...

Basta buti n lng sya guro ng chem ngaun.. SWERTE tlaga..

'ge sir..babush!

GI, my student, friend:

Oi Marlone!.. hehe biru lang.. Ito si Sir Marlone magaling talaga. I bet cya ang paboritong prof ng section b. Ang galing magturo! Sa totoo lang ngayon ko lang na-apreciate ang chem kasi nung high school wala wala lang yung teacher. di sigurado sa tinuturo.. 
Sa loob ng classroom professional siya kumilos pero palagay ko sa labas nako.. dami 'tong nilolokong chicks! pakita niya lang ang kabilaan nyang tattoo tama ba? left & right?) mapapaWOW! na ang mga gurls! diba? Pero tinatago niya yung latest tattoo niya kaya kung mapapansin nyo eh di na xa maxado nagsusuot ng maikling sleeves..Ang reason niya "may sugat" siya. hehe..

Naisip ko nga minsan kung pano kaya pagmagkasing edad lang kami tapos naging klasm8 pa namin cya??Naku siguradong mabubura na ang pangalan ng mga lalake sa klase. lahat tatalbog! hehe.(o lumalaki ulo) kaya buti na lang at naging prof namin siya..
Bagay nga sa kanya ang kantang "YMCA" kasi macho ang dating. hehe.. 

Cge sir, salamat sa pinagsamahan sa klase....

Reinhold, my student:

i do believe that sir greg has been one of the most adept teacher i've met... chemist kc sha... 

he's not like other teachers na hindi sigurado sa tinuturo sa mga students nila... 

sana sing-talino at sing-galing namin sha... idoL...

thanks for being our teacher... marami po kaming natutunan sa inyo... ; )

Me-an, college classmate, close friend:

born with an adonis face (naks)...hearthrob yan nung college kami...as in...yung mga admirer nya, makita lang bag nya eh kumpleto na buhay...pano pa kaya pag anino na nakita...pinapangarap ng mga kababaihan...kaya inggit sila sa akin pag nakita na magkasama kami, kulang nalang ipakulam ako...hehe
bait yan at generous. pag may allowance sya galing kay sen fernan eh naaambunan kami ng grasya...masaya ang college lyf namin sobra...naaalala mo ba yung "nag excuse ako" issue...yun ang pinaka hilyt ata...pati yung mga kaekekan natin nun, nagalit ang buong klase dahil nag drama tayo nila alvin at chayang...
dami na din tayo pinagdaana friendship...nalala ko, nag away din tayo nun...mga 3 mos ata tayo di usap...wala lang...
i'm very thankful coz we stay this long as good friends...di naman masisira yun ng mga tampuhan at kadramahan natin nun...diba, pag kaaway mo nun, kaaway ko din...kaya up to now, pag may umaway sayo...tawagin mo lang ako...basta dala ko ang bato...sisigaw ako ng darn

Ria, high school classmate:

Hi Marlone...Professor ka na pala...

Wala ako masabi ang layo na ng narating mo..so ano kaya susunod siguro makakadiscover ka na ng bagong element.....haha Dr. Marlone G. ka na nun.

Miss you so much remember way back in high school & early college days natin.

Unfortunately kailangan tayo maghiwalay to pursue our ambition and I am happy to say that we have achieved those with flying colors di ba.

I can that He is a beautiful person inside and out. Talagang love niya ang chemistry he is now sharing it to others by teaching.

I will never forget the moments we spent together. All the support you have given me.Thanks for being a good friend

Norman, college classmate, colleague, close friend:

.....Marlone is one of the 

very very few persons in my life na kaya 
me pasayahin ...Na 
kahit ilang Time Dilation na ang 
dumaan sa aming friendship, it is still as 
fresh as before...Most people can be so 
judgemental 2 this guy, but they dont 
know what they're missin'...kc once na 
maging friend mo cya....lahat ng ire that 
you might have for him will be replaced 
by fun, thoughfulness & all 
generosity...TIMES 10!!!....so dats 
it...luv yeah mah dear friend...Stop 
terrorizing/seducing people!!! 
dami na nila!! hak hak hak>....Do your 
best! Maybe 1 time, very unexpected, 
pag sindi mo ng 1 posporo, ..VOILA!!!

disproportionation sa oxidized products 
at masynthesize mo and dakilang 
BARCONE....eh di sabog ang puso nila 
Wohler, Wittig, Chichibabin, Fischer, 
Schroedinger, et al sa friend coh!! :-)

Melissa, highschool classmate, friend:

really, i used to know you inside-out. 
ngayon, out na lang-- out na out ako sa 
buhay mo!

i want you to know that i have kept 
everything that you gave me-- from the 
little notes, to the collage, to the smiles 
when you make me angry, 
everything.........and i never regret 
keeping you in my heart all this time. 
you are worth every space you occupy.

you are one hell of a friend--as in all the 
way..........wala yata akong hiningi as 
favor na hindi mo binigay.........sex lang 
ano? ayaw mo kasi eh..........

but i love you kahit hindi ka 
nagpagahasa sa akin.........i still do, you

Ferdie, my trainee,schoolmate, friend:

Si Sir Marlon?!. hhmmmmm...ADDICT yan! 
sa Badminton... hehehe... ang chemist 
na sobrang kulet at sobrang lakas 
kumain. nakakapagtaka nga at di yan 
tumataba eh... diretso kasi lagi sa cr 
pagkatapos kumain eh. (joke!)
Pero sa totoo lng mabait yang si sir 
marlon, lagi nya kaming nililibre para 
lng may kasabay syang kumain. kasi 
hindi yan nkakakain kpag walang kausap. 
isa pa, magaling din yan mag-drive. yan

mgbadminton...addict nga eh! 
Finally... masasabi ng lahat na magling 
mag-drive yang si sir. bakit?!. bcoz 
very few people are able to text and 
drive...and his one of the gifted... 
wag lang sana mabanga o mahuli ng MMDA, 
besides malupit yan sa beating the red

Some things about me...

What age do I act?

You Act Like You Are 21 Years Old ( nice answer!)You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life.
You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up.
The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them.



How evil am I?

You Are 28% Evil (thought it's more than that!)

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

Who am I in my  past life?

In a Past Life...

You Were: An Insane Warrior.  (oh really?!) Where You Lived: China.  How You Died: Hung for treason. (Ouch!) And the keys to my heart: The Keys to Your Heart You are attracted to obedience and warmth. In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. (This one burst me into laughter!) You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

I Don't Do Windoze!

Hey you Peter!

Everybody is talking about Peter now!...Mom and Dad were soooo amazed , if you want to experience Peter's magic, go to:

Count your victims! ;) hehehehe

Techie people take a peek on this!

Ten nonexistent--but awesome--tech toys that take your gadget lust to a more advanced level. Pick your choice!

10. Dattoos: Interactive Tattoos
No one brings concept design to reality like Frog Design. Winners of numerous design awards over the years, Frog has become synonymous with powerful technology meeting artistic design. So when we found Frog's Dattoo (interactive tattoo) concept, it was like finding futurist gold. Designed by Hartmut Esslinger, Dattoos would conceivably bring us to that final convergence of man and machine. The Dattoos would offer: DNA-reader and identification technology, nanosensors and interactive "touch reading," full voice interaction, bionic nano chips and various cybernetic components. While Dattoos would definitely look cool, what Esslinger is imagining here is nothing short of the Borg. But hey, who said being a mindless drone working within a hive mind had to be drab?

 

9. Astrium Spaceplane
The race to full-on space tourism is in full swing, but we're still in the early stages of the industry, so naturally style and comfort has taken a backseat to safety and practicality. The Astrium Spaceplane looks to up the ante and allow spacefaring travelers the opportunity to look into infinity whilst nestled in comfortable and familiar surroundings. Australian designer Marc Newson's concept vehicle doesn't propel passengers into a far-out science-fiction realm, but if the near term of space tourism really looks like this the spaceports will likely be jam-packed and delayed like your favorite local commercial airport in no time.

 

8. Custom Kicks
Sneaker culture has transcended the world of fashion and transformed into an art form unto itself. Brand loyalty and price-tag importance has fallen by the wayside as pure originality and exclusive design have become the mark of a true sneaker aficionado. But nowadays, finding one of those unseen designs has become even more difficult. Enter Custom Kicks, a concept designed by the Inventables studio. Custom Kicks would allow wearers to instantly change the design of their shoes on the fly with a mere push of a button. Using a tiny iPod-like device, sneaker fanatics would beam a new pre-designed pattern to their feet and immediately up the ante on the fashion wars. We want this yesterday.

 

7. Nikon 360
In Star Trek: Voyager and Deep Space Nine, characters used a holographic camera to snap instant three-dimensional replicas of certain moments in time. We're not quite there yet, but in the meantime the idea behind the Nikon 360 concept camera seems like a reasonable facsimile. According to Ye Chen, designer of the device, the camera would take an all-round picture using a built-in inclinometer indicating the horizontal position prior to execution. Sure, panoramic photos are already in existence, but they take a little more work. With the Nikon 360, capturing surround-vision images would become literally a snap.

 

6. Honda Cub Motocycle
Sam Jibert's Honda Cub Motocycle concept vehicle takes the macho out of the road hog and adds just enough clean design and geek friendliness to ensure a consumer hit. Looking like a cross between a 19th-century bicycle and a modern-day crotch rocket, the Honda Cub Motocycle is not only cute but enviro-friendly since it uses a hydrogen fuel cell. If Dean Kamen's Segway had been this cool-looking, maybe Steve Jobs' initial prediction that it would change the way cities were built would have come true.

 

5. Pills To Go
British designer Priestman Goode has envisioned a product so simple and practical, it's astounding to think that this isn't already available. Pills To Go combines two caplets of your favorite medicinal salve with a hearty gulp of water all in one package. So simple, so convenient, yet as of now, still a futuristic concept. When eventually brought to market by some company — and you can rest assured that it will definitely happen — Pills To Go is sure to be one of the biggest sellers of all time.

 

4. WPA Wearable Power Suit
Vlady Spetkovsky designed the WPA wearable power suit as a project for the Bezalel Academy of art and design in Israel. Although Spetkovsky doesn't offer much detail regarding what the suit would actually do, after watching his animated 3D movie showing the suit in action it's reasonable to assume that it would increase the strength and speed of the wearer via an accumulator-powered exoskeleton. That's right friends, with suits like this, one day we'll all get to live out our superhero fantasies.

 

3. B-Membrain Computer
The B-Membrain won't transport you into another dimension or suddenly become self-aware and declare that all humans are obsolete, but it does offer something we can all relate to: sexy hardware. Winner of Intel Korea's recent PC Design Contest (Challenger category), the B-Membrain does away with the computer monitor and instead beams images to any surface via a built-in projector. As for input, the keyboard is described by its designer Won-Suk Lee as a touchscreen interface. Sure, the B-Membrain looks weird and you'd probably have trouble figuring out where to put to the oddly shaped contraption, but never has a more sci-fi-ish computer been so within reach.

 

2. Credit Card of the Future
Paying bills will never be fun, but in the future there's a chance that you'll at least be able to pay the piper in style. To that end, designer Jacob Palmborg mocked up a universal payment device that simultaneously links to all of your banking and credit accounts. The unnamed device would keep a real-time accounting of just how much you've spent, and what your near-term financial forecast looks like based on recent purchase activity. And if that's not Big Brother enough for you, the device would only be accessible via biometric (think thumbprint, eyescan, etc.) verification. With RFID tap-and-pay bankcards already being used throughout the U.S., it seems like this little gadget's emergence is just a matter of time.

 

1. Timeflex Stick-On Watch

It's been awhile since a cross-demographic product has swept the country, but something like the Timeflexstick-on watch might just do the trick. Imagined as a non-permanent, self-gumming timepiece, the Timeflex would make the perfect accessory for style-conscious millennials (read: teens), on-the-go professionals, and athletes (swimmers, rock climbers, runners, etc.). The outlines of the device are meant to be fluorescent, with the interior sporting a transparent surface so you can show off your fashion-forward sensibility, and a little skin in process.

Did you ever cheat in school?

Found this but i don't recommend it...it will take a lot of time than studying, hehe

Must read for IPOD users

Report: Apple working on auto-volume control for iPods

Posted by Michelle Meyers

Apple is developing a volume control device for its iPods that would automatically calculate how long a person has been listening and at what volume, before gradually reducing the sound level, all in an effort to protect users' hearing, according to the London-based Daily Mail.

Citing a new patent application, the report--to which Apple declined to comment--says the "device will also calculate the amount of 'quiet time' between when the iPod is turned off and when it is restarted, allowing the volume to be increased again to a safe level."

In February 2006, a Louisiana man filed a class action suit against Apple, saying the computer maker failed to take adequate steps to prevent hearing loss among iPod users. That was followed by warnings from politicians and researchers on hearing-loss hazards related to MP3 player use.

Apple responded by releasing a free software update for some iPods that lets listeners set a maximum volume limit. But we haven't heard much on the matter since.

Let's turn to rocker Pete Townshend for his foreshadowing quote: "I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal components deaf," he said on his Web site two years ago. "Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired. If you use an iPod or anything like it, or your child uses one, you MAY be OK...But my intuition tells me there is terrible trouble ahead."

Are you colorblind?

If you didn't see any number, then you are probably colorblind.

E N J O Y !

Here's a kindling point...

I came across this video and I'm quite convinced with what the video is trying to prove but one of my friends told me it's not possible (voltage requirements-usb mechanisms-blah-blah) and i haven't tried it yet, anyways, just view the video...

A fortunate stroke of serendipity.

I'm about to create a post but was unintentionally directed to this article, worth reading though...

Dear Mr. or Mrs. Drunken Driver,

Please do not harm me or my loved ones. Your poor judgment will not just affect you and your car. It can devastate the lives of people you've never even met. You can take things away that can never be given back. You may even harm my family. All I ask is that you stop and think twice before you walk out of the bar or party or picnic. Ask yourself, "Am I OK to drive?" If you even hesitate before answering that question, get a ride home. You can pick up your car tomorrow. People admire decisions like that. It's not inconvenient to spare innocent lives. You could even be sparing your own. Just consider that you might be a threat to others on the road. Your impaired judgment and reflexes could lead to a terrible accident. You could be arrested. You could go to jail. You could die. Even worse, you could even spend the rest of your life regretting your actions. Just please, please stop and think - "Am I OK to drive?" If you are, have at it. If you're not, please stay off the road and don't kill innocent people. And if you do choose to drive anyway?

Please drive into a tree. They usually win.
