You like this star ... let me go and pick it for you !

I always find it funny when I remember how the older generation would say such things to impress girls ... "isn't this a nice star, how about from now on, we name this star to be your name?" ... "it's such a beautiful sky, that star is the brightest ... I'll go up there and pick it for you ... "


Now with this SkyScout, you can no longer name any random stars after any girl's name. You can look thru the viewfinder and the LCD will show you right away the name, radius, mass and even mythology. You could have make up some stories, but now this device will leave you in the dark all by yourself.

Price is set to be around $400 ... a little steep ... but the technology is impressive, built-in GPS so the device knows its location, and with the electric compass it knows the direction it is pointing at, and also an accelerometer detertmines the angle.

WOW ... USB Missile Launcher


This is so cool, I am definitely in for one if it's not that expensive.

Seriously, this is just the right distance for me, 5-8 feet away from my desk at work and my target is right within that. Yup .. for those who heard me complaining these days, probably know why I need one of these.

The Bridge - Trailer

An interesting movie ... got it from Emma ... quite dark I think, but I hope i can see it sometimes ...

Very old MTV from group of singers in HK

小虎隊 忍著淚說 goodbye MV

Got it from someone, I can't believe back then people actually liked that kind of style. I just can't help myself from laughing ... And some of the comments from youtube is horrible too, "are they gay?" ....

Changing keyboard ... as it needs to be ...

Think about this, when you hit the "Caps Locks", all your key on the keyboard actually showed you the upper case of the letters. Ops ... I don't look at the keys when I type ... that's the catch, but it'll be so good for any gamers or lazy people who wants one-clicks to start any application.

Each key packs with full-color OLED display that can show icons or characters in any language. And they will change accordingly ... when you play quake, it shows only the equivalent keys and when you're typing chinese, it shows only the "chong kit" .. (it doesn't describe this feature, I'm just guessing it should).

Price not set yet ... available in 2007, I would imagine it costs more than 200 !! Btw, it doesn't has an ergonomic version yet ...
