Finger Drums

Oh, this looks real enough! Even our drum expert claim he can make a good beat with this set. The cymbal works too! And it has record function so you can record your loop and annoy every one when you play it again and again.

IP Phone, EFSF style

I am a Gundam fan, but this IP phone is a little over-the-edge even for me.
Although the interface is very real and nicely designed, I just do not think making a internet call require me to engage this console and battle my way in a mobile suit. Moreover, it's ¥5,250! I rather spend it on my Gundam FIX.

Guess who?

Do you know who's who? I'll reveal the answers on a later post.

life juice

Recently I have to control my diet due to health reasons;
cut down on portions,
low fat,
low cal,
less sugar,
&
less coffee....

suddenly,
dining doesn't seem to be as an enjoyable pleasure as before.

add-ons

Just a little over a month ago, I gave a talk about the overwhelming explosion of Facebook. Over the course of this month, my friends list is over 300, I've connected with age-old friends, highschool classmates, people half way around the world...

but what's more interesting is there's a recent emergence of user add-on application that I can add to my own use. Some of them are with no particular purpose but just for absolute fun. Once again, defining Web2.0 experience.

Come
pet my (fluff)Friend
throw food at me
or
just to see what books I'm reading...

Facebook is becoming a platform. It's already more than a website, it cannot even be call an application. But what's more inspiring is that Facebook is an actualization of a highly viral distribution engine.

I believe Facebook is taking the web experience to the next level. Only time can tell how this platform will shape the development of Web 3.0.

add me on Facebook!
Inspiration: Analyzing the Facebook Platform, three weeks in

29th @ 18:00

the count down is almost over, the impact is yet to be seen.
Although it has already create quite a stir for the past six months, only tomorrow can tell the actual impact it promised. I do hope it can deliver and revolutionize the mobile phone and communication medium and be on par with Facebook in the Web2.0 platform. Big hopes, big expectations, hopefully no big disappointments.

剛剛過咗 Summer Solstice - June 22.
從來都冇真正諗過全年最長嗰日可以做啲乜，今年搵到呢嗰網站，但係也是知得太遲。
雖然日仔係過咗，但係唔應該咁就等下年先開始呢種生活態度。
節省能源唔係要嚟應節，係種生活及做人態度！

想知多啲，可到這個網站。

prototype: 360

Ideology over practicality. The concept of a 360 degree camera is not new, but the execution of creating such a camera has never been done successfully. Although this is another good attempt with a main focus on the camera lens, unconventional and imaginative, the body form is not truly practical.

Convergence

For me, cars should be a perfect convergence and balance of form and function. Neither should be sacrifice in order to better achieve another. They should co-exist in perfect harmony, hence creating beauty, precision, and fluidity. However, rarely does automakers are able to achieve this perfect balance. Nevertheless, witnessing one these creations is an experience not easily forget - a double shot of admiration, eagerness, and jealousy, shaken not stirred.

AE86 - Round 2

One posting of AE86 is simply not enough.
After watching this video, it made me think twice why I need such a high horsepower car when the one thing that truly matters is driving skills.
um... there goes my dream of my '08 WRX STi

AE86 TRD

this is for all initialD fans!!

leave me a comment if you are watching the video, like to see where you all are!!

prototype

does prototype design only allow us to dream and fancy over how things can be?
Or does it have actual design value in promoting design values and possibilities?

Original Post

core value

Does what you spend time on has value?
If it does not contribute to the advancement of the greater whole, then what other value does it posses?
You only have 24 hours a day and how you spend your time defines what is important and prioritized in your life.
If Facebook is simply a pass time fun and distraction in your work, then it should be banned; but....
If Facebook is how you can better communicate with other people, then you should embrace it and magnify its potential.
