Our dream TV

July 31, 2008

After the wedding, my husband and I decided to buy our first appliance to invest. It’s our first and dream HDTV.We went to different stores to canvass first.We were down to two, Samsung and Sony Bravia. We want to buy a 32 inches TV.

I’m so excited.My husband is so eager to inquire the features of the HDTV.Of course, we have to compare qualities and prices before buying. The prices were too close.So, we focus on the features.Both have good quality picture and sounds.They have wide color enhancer.Both have best picture quality.They have a cinematic experience because of its wide screen and sorround sounds system.

So, it’s a tough decision to choose from. We check the packages. Both comes up with the same packages with sound and theatre system. But I love Samsung because the DVD included is USB ready. It will save us money to buy DVD disc for movies.Instead, we can download it through USB.

The decision is alread made. We buy now our chosen HDTV which is our dream TV.

For Musical Geeks

Play your own ocarina music!

Zelda fans who happen to be musically inclined may want to stop by ThinkGeek. The popular online store is now stocking blue, glazed earthenware ocarinas. Each ocarina has the triforce insignia in gold on the mouthpiece and comes with a songbook filled with Legend of Zelda sheet music.

They’re a bit expensive though – each ocarina is $39.99. However, you also earn 425 Geek Points if you buy one, which you can put towards discounts on store items or free items. So if you buy an ocarina, you could get Singing Monkey Balls free.

Wii Photos

July 28, 2008

Sadly this is one of those crazy toys that’s available only in Japan.

Not that the Big N hasn’t snubbed the vast majority of the world before with these channel releases, but folks holed up everywhere save for Japan have yet another one they can only look longingly at from afar. Thanks to a new partnership between Nintendo and Fujifilm, the Wii Digicam Print Channel is immediately available for Japanese Wii consoles to access, which essentially gives owners the ability to upload images from SD cards and receive customized prints, photo books, business cards, etc..

My Digicam

July 23, 2008

I love taking pictures of my family and friends. If there is a celebration, be it a simple get-together or a grand one, I make it a point to bring my trusted digital camera in those occasions.

For almost three years now, I am still using my trusted Sony DSC-S40. It is not really a top of the line model but definitely it is a keeper. My husband bought a 1 Gig memory last Christmas as a gift to me because he knew I just love to click and click until it gives me a warning that I have used up the space. It is a 4 megapixel camera and it is enough for personal use. Just point and click and I get good pictures anytime.

It is also good to use a digicam because I can delete pictures that I do not like so that there is still room for new ones. My toddler even knows when I take a picture of him and he would readily smile and then reach for the camera wanting to take a look at the shot. I can also take a video but the limitation is that it has to be taken in a well-lit room so that the video will be clear.

I am hoping that my trusted digicam and I will be together for the years to come. As long as it is functioning well, I don’t see a need for a new one.

Google Unveils Lively

July 22, 2008

Wonderland: Lively has this to say about Google’s new Lively:

It seems at first glance to be rather exactly along the lines of MetaPlace and Whirled, although I’m sure there will be differences on investigation. The avatars look like Bratz. Some of the rooms look like Home.

See for yourself!

Creating Legos

July 22, 2008

This video shows something that very few people have had the opportunity to witness: the inside of the Lego factory, with no barriers or secrets. I filmed every step in the creation of the brick. From the raw granulate stored in massive silos to the molding machines to the gigantic storage cathedrals to the decoration and packaging warehouses, you will be able to see absolutely everything, including the most guarded secret of the company: the brick molds themselves.

Fictional Gadgets To Protect The NYT Building!

July 18, 2008

Some fictional, but funny, ways to defend the NYT building from crazed climbers!

A third person climbed up the New York Times building last week, forcing the Times to make adjustments to the structure. This trend is similar to the common backyard problem of squirrels scaling birdfeeders. Maybe the NYT can learn from some of these tips to keep critters from climbing up and pillaging the seed:

10 Ways To Stop People from Climbing the New York Times Building

1. Stick the New York Times building on top of a tall pole, put a barrier below and demolish any adjacent buildings within jumping distance.
….

8. Sprinkle the urine of a natural predator around the base of the building (try fox urine).
9. Hang dried ears of corn outside the Wall Street Journal building to tempt the climbers elsewhere.
10. Beware that squirrels and climbers are prone to biting and promoting agendas.
