• I think Maria Ozawa is beautiful (not as beautiful as my wife, of course).

I believe I am antisocial. I generally don’t want to participate in conventions, seminars, eyeballs, social gatherings and the like. I have a number of reasons why I am like this but for now, I’d like to disclose one: I’m too lazy to go somewhere.

Now, trying to socialize online is another story. I don’t have to go somewhere to “mingle”. I just need my laptop and an Internet connection. Read more »

So, you blog… and your blog is hosted on either Blogger or Wordpress.com. You write well (or you think you write well) but still you think something’s wrong with your blog site. What could it be? It’s right at the tip of your tounge. No, it’s not your cigarette. Riggght, the URL of your blog is not quite cool or catchy. Read more »

A new security camera can “X-ray” you without you knowing it. Cool, huh? This new gadget is called ThruVision T5000 and can pick up Terahertz rays or T-rays. Apparently T-rays are emitted by all objects and can pass through clothing or walls.

So what’s the difference between a “T-ray” and an X-ray? Well, with the T-ray, you don’t have to pass through a “door”. Also, this gadget does not emit radiation. In fact, it does the reverse, it picks up on it. Read more »

This woman loves stray cats.  She already has 60-plus cats (and counting) and loves every single one of them.  She doesn’t pick “good-looking” stray cats.  In fact, she only picks up the sick kittens who are left on the streets to their own devices. She nurtures these sick kittens, transforming them into healthy, handsome and beautiful cats. Read more »

I’ve always wondered how work is for a government spy.  I’ve seen a couple of documentary and fiction movies about Israel and its spy agency, Mossad.  It seems to me that Mossad does more “adventurous work” than any other spy agency.  If I am to believe most of what I’ve read about Mossad, they’re operations are very good plots for espionage thriller films.

The past few months, the Filipino social networking site, GrooveNet, has been buzzing *silently* across the Philippine web. GrooveNet is the exclusive distributor of There in the Philippines, an online 3D chat application that is perhaps second only to Second Life in terms of number of users and popularity. When you register at GrooveNet, you get an avatar for the 3D World and a profile page in the GrooveNet site itself.

You can upload MP3 songs to the music player provided in the profile page. Also, the profile owner can move around the panels. Moreover, the profile owner can add custom panels as he/she pleases. The owner can then add widgets to these custom added panels. Read more »

I’m not much of a prankster so don’t expect any today, or any April Fool’s Day for that matter. I never realized the “significance” of this day is until I read a prank post.

Anywayz, let me share what I learned today. Read more »
