China For Life

The continuation of this blog will be at thetimevault.blogspot.com

No content will be moved, as it will be a brand new blog of a more organized sort.

I will not be posting here anymore; go to thetimevault.blogspot.com!

I'm off to make my own blog template

new template comes with the theme "injection, fuel, rush, power, etc"

it's gonna take quite some time to brainstorm, do the artwork, and code.

So no new posts for the next few days; sorry.

Feel free to dig through my old stuff :)

peace!

UPDATE:

New template is about 40% finished. I'm going to call it "The Time Vault". So that means I scraped my idea on "injection, fuel" etc. It looks quite nice. The URL is already reserved at thetimevault.blogspot.com

Shoppers lined up outside the Carrefour superstore in southwestern China saturday, eagerly awaiting to snatch items on sale at 8:30 am sharp. What they didn't expect was a poor job done by the janitors which resulted in a slippery entrance. Costumers fell down and were trampled over by others as they stormed into the store. Three were confirmed to have been "trampled to death," and 31 were injured.

Press said that some were outside the store as early as 3:00 am; apparently they wanted this "rapeseed" oil for cooking. Those in front were probably more prone to get hurt.

Out of the 31 injured, 7 had severe injuries. Local police said that they have heard of the event, but cannot confirm its validity. Telephoning the Chinese headquaters of French owned Carrefour superstore returned a busy tone.

Tsk tsk. China, what happened...

A new lighter from Nathan Gabrielle gives convenience to geek smokers! Instead of the classical zippos, this 21 generation version is flameless; it uses electrical wires to heat up. All it requires is a small battery that gets charged with a USB port. Plus, it also has some decent memory. Cool eh? Now someone tell me where I can get one.

GigaPan is a new add-on for general digital cameras that allows users to take panoramic pictures up to billions of pixels of quality. Not only will this new device allow us to view the world with utter clarity, companies like Google Earth and UNESCO are partnering up with fellow GigaPan photographers to further connect the global population.

The actual add-on is a device that will snap onto your everyday camera, which can then automatically take hundreds of overlapping pictures, ensuring high quality. It takes around five minutes to an hour to take all the pictures; but in the end, the sweet success is always worth it.

A GigaPan will come quite cheaply for such a cool product. Once they get out of the current beta testing, it will retail at around $270 USD. It would be cool to make a real life "Where Is Waldo" picture of yourself next time you take a vacation.

Go ahead and check out some REAL PICTURES of GigaPan. It works just like Google Earth - zoom, image loads, pretty images! zoom more, image loads more, more pretty images... etc. Have fun!

Here is the latest episode of south park.

I wish they win another emmy this year. That WoW episode was simply amazing.

Enjoy!
