It's obscene.

Glow in the Dark



And he finally came.

Months of hype and wait. And over an hour late.


With people in the audience hollering " Don't be a Diva, Kanye West!"

Mr West finally exploded on stage amid a flurry of pent up anticipation from an eager crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, 29th October 2008.

The 'glow in the dark ' concept was way less spectacular than the dazzling effects it had when it first started back in the states.


What we saw were lots of jewel-toned beam lights flashing , pulsating and swirling wildly. Not bad where the pyrotechnics are concerned . But still, it doesn't belly its name sake like its US-debut.

Kanye never bothered once to interact with the audience. He never bothered to explain why hundreds had to wait so long for anything to begin.

He's a talent alright. Owns the stage. Having a good mix of charisma and energy.
His voice was flawless and real. He amazes us with his ability to remember every line of the (possibly) thousands of lyrics he motor-mouthed .


But , if not for an obviously eager and entusiastic crowd, there were many times it looked like he was simply obligated to be there and put up a good show, not because he was trully ever eager to play in these parts.

He just droned on and on , amazing with his vocal prowess and passion for his music but drowzing with his lack of genuine connection with the audience.

Still, an unforgetable night on all counts.

Beautiful people. Great sound system. Great energy .

A flawless if souless performance.

Digital Drops » Blog Archive » Reactor, Um Computador Resfriado por Submersão em Óleo: "Todo mundo conhece os cases resfriados a água, mas o Reactor da Hardcore Computer leva este conceito muito além, com seu sistema de resfriamento por submersão em óleo mineral que o mantém os componentes como processador e placas gráficas funcionando em temperaturas extremamente baixas, permitindo que você jogue o quanto quiser sem se preocupar com o super aquecimento dos seus equipamentos."

Uma ponte no céu











Uma ponte no céu: "No alto da montanha Gunung Mat Cincang, na Malásia, está uma das mais incríveis pontes do mundo. Mesmo para leigos em engenharia, imaginar que uma enorme estrutura como esta fica apoiada em um único pilar já é um exercício de tirar o fôlego; como a natureza ao redor da Sky Bridge. A ponte estaiada e curva foi finalizada em 2004 e confia todo o peso do deck de passeio aos oito cabos de aço amarrados na ponta de sua grande pilastra de 87 metros de altura."

Multi-Touch SMART Table - Next High In Learning Ways For Kids - Gizmo Watch

Multi-Touch SMART Table - Next High In Learning Ways For Kids - Gizmo Watch: "When it comes to mimicking and remaking, the best in the trade are the biggest targets. If the iPhone clones and remakes were Apple’s nightmare, next best thing on the edge of things could be Microsoft’s multi-touch wonder – the Surface. Designed to embark upon the feel and learn principle, SmartTech’s multi-touch SMART Table, featured here, is most like the Surface, but least identical on utility. The SMART Table houses multi-user capability with gesture recognition, and comes cheaper and earlier than the awaited Microsoft Surface. Fixing high-end technology into learning vicinity, the SMART Table offers complete interactive learning on a 27-inch screen and helps develop skills of the children simultaneously."


I Kissed a Girl




Katy Perry . The new girl on the block.


Whose causing quite a stirr not since Russion girl-duo T.A.T.U .

Talking about lesbian/ gay sex and the angst that comes with social rejection.


A tried and tested formula that has obviously worked well, given the chart performance of her international debut album, 'One of the Boys', so far.

Pitching herself against the Avril Lavigne, Amy Winehouse, T.A.T.U, Amy Lee and Britney Spears markets all-at-once is quite a feat.


Either this will pay off or she's so gonna bomb out of the scene.

Watch her in a couple of years time. We'll see.

Prime Estate

When it comes to Real Estate, it's all about location-location-location. Or so they say.


But when it comes to these estates, it's all about the jouney there.






Big in foot print.

Big on performance.

Big on price tag.

Big on taxes.

Big on fuel guzzling.



BIG.

Bloodhound SSC Supersonic Car With 1,000 Mph Aspiration Disclosed - Gizmo Watch







Bloodhound SSC Supersonic Car With 1,000 Mph Aspiration Disclosed - Gizmo Watch: "The British are reputed engineers and speed obsessive. If history isn’t your thing, you could still mark their passion for speed with the famous Lewis Hamilton. But if it is, the British team that set the fastest land speed record in 1997 will attempt to better their record with good 200mph this time. Computer-generated imagery of the Bloodhound SSC, a car that RAF pilot Andy Green envisions to ply beyond the 1,000 mph limit, has been made public. The £10million project isn’t much for a land vehicle that promises to go beyond 1,000 mph. Andy Green will move at 1.4 times the speed of sound – when the car is up and ready and he is geared to hit 1050mph.
What’s Innovative:
The only purpose of the designed car, which shall accelerate from 0-1,050 mph in about 40 seconds, is to break the world’s land speed record. The car will be powered by a rocket attached Typhoon-Eurofighter jet engine while carbon fiber and titanium will be used for the bodywork, which shall bear the entire speed pressure. Halting the car after the fastest endeavor could be a task, so the makers will use airbrakes and two parachutes to slow down. The car is expected to hit out of production in a year’s time, and take another three for the record attempt, but we know the wait won’t go to waste. Hit more to catch the video."

Digital Drops » Blog Archive » Conceito: Óculos de Visão Periférica da Nike: "A idéia de um par de óculos escuros conceitual capaz de curvar o seu campo de visão para que você pudesse enxergar o que acontece atrás de você é para lá de interessante! O campo de visão do ser humano é de 180 graus, mas com este óculos, você conseguiria enxergar mais 25 graus para cada lado, o que lhe daria uma visão de 230 graus! O efeito seria obtido através de lentes de Fresnel divergentes alinhadas verticalmente para distorcer a sua visão."

The Rose





'Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love is it a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you is all the seed

Is the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
Is the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
Is the one won't be taken
who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been to lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only for
the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow
Like the seed that with the suns love
in the spring becomes The Rose.
'
~ By Bette Midler

Touching.

They don't write songs like that anymore.

Everything these days is all about , money, fame , sex and grind.

Not really. What's in your mind and other's can warp one's perception still and ruin everything.

Gizmo Watch: Wow Gadgets


Gizmo Watch: Wow Gadgets: "Many laptops today are all hip and clean. When the challenge is to produce the lightest and the thinnest of them all, some graver issues remain hidden below the beauteous hood. Technology has brought batteries a long way, now more efficient Li-ion batteries rule the roost, yet maintaining even temperatures is serious concern still. Notebooks blast, people complain, but zilch has been done to address the problem. The world’s largest chipmaker, Intel, has worked a solution finally, as the developer has unveiled a cooling solution for notebooks that could let them live up to the purpose of their existence."

Mercedes-Benz Fórmula Zero um conceito para 2025: "O conceito é definido como o futuro carro de corrida para 2025. Fórmula Zero combina a emoção da Fórmula 1, mais a junção com os eficientes barcos à vela de competições. Além disso, ele obtém o máximo impulso a partir de motores elétricos que são recarregados pelo aero – solares que é uma espécie de vela. A Mercedes-Benz também idealizou o nome de Fórmula Zero ao campeonato feito pelo conceito, onde será realizado em pistas que mais parecem faixas transparentes, que tornam visíveis todos os ângulos da corrida para os espectadores. Confira os detalhes pelas imagens."

Não existe qualquer vidro no conceito, a visão do condutor é possibilitada por uma câmera que projeta as imagens externas numa tela de 360 graus. O design parece um inseto biônico maneiríssimo.

Quando no formato de 'bagagem', ela é bastante leve (cerca de 8-9 kg), graças a liga de magnésio da qual é feita. Uma haste permite que seja transportada sem esforço, exatamente como nas malas com rodinha."

Tracks on my Face


No calls. No replies.

The only time (*) called was when (*) wanted a ride in the wee early hours of morning like, 3 am , when (*) came back from overseas and wanted a lift to yet another dance club.

And (*) wanted loads of cash too, because (*) 'forgot'.


And yet I drove and I gave. And yes I feel used and stupid.

I'm writing lyrics for a new song just to exemplify my feelings right now :
'I didn't bother to blow my hair. I didn't bother to wear my contacts or appear in a beautiful dress and heels. I didn't bother to put on make up. The drive was there long but I wasn't eager to reach my destination.'

Model Reserrection

Hey Nora...


Was wathicng a late re-run of the horror flick Halloween Reserrection .

And we all know the only reason it's worth watching is a guest appearance of Supermodel Tyra Banks.


Frankly, watching this show is like watching Tyra hosting an episode of ANTM Halloween special.

One after the other , they get eliminated. Pretty much like failing to do well in a (twisted) commercial.

And the last one standing (the girl not going home tonight and not having to
immediately 'pack her belongings and leave the house' ) gets to squirm in Tyra's pool of blood ... 'And the winner is ....'

.... T.Y.R.A .

LMAO.
