Simply breathtaking.

Oh yeah, and I got stuck at Minneapolis/St. Paul =(. Stupid weather. Anyway I’m home… after 28 hours of trying to travel =/.

Unfortunately, I don’t really have a picture to go along with this post. I mean I could use my iSight camera, but seriously, people behind me would probably be bugged out. So here we go! Random picture FTW.

Oh yeah, flights are delayed.  Bugger.

Bye California!

Update: I’m counting 5 MacBooks and zero PCs in this area.  Three prev-gen Pros (not including mine) and 2 prev-gen regulars.

Update 2: Someone pulled out an HP laptop!  I saw 5 iPhones, 4 BlackBerry.  Apple’s winning everything here.  And hell I’m extremely bored.  I still got an hour to go =/.

I have no idea why they used this shot, but they caught me taking a picture of our structure with an iPhone.  And I laughed.  But whatever, still made it!  LOL

In short, I participated in a charity event called Second Harvest, where we competed (intra-company) to build the craziest sculpture possible using food that we’re donating. So we came up with THIS:

Monster Truck that’s STOMPING out the hunger! That truck (along with all the vendor stands, bleachers, obstacles, and the road, ALL MADE with food), came up to around 3500 lbs. of food. The press was here and everything along with judges from various fame. We’re now competing for regionals (feels like high school again), and hopefully taking the crown!

Finally!  I’ve had this machine for 2.5 weeks now.  It took me THIS LONG to write it, but it was TOTALLY worth it.  This lovable beast of a sexy machine thang is one hell of a damned design.  So check out my design review already!

Seriously, look how this compares to my Asus Z71v.  When the MBP is closed, it’s thinner than my Asus’s base when open!  This gorgeous machine is just too gorgeous.

Oh and stay tuned for my next blog series: Mac OS X, from a PC Perspective, where I delve head on into the lovables and the über frustrations of Mac OS X.  Yeah I umlauted that u.

Here we go!  Wrote up a (rather long) design review of the beatiful and gorgeous Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.  In short, it’s the best built hardware I’ve ever seen, mostly due to its brushed aluminum and smoooooth sliding mechanism.  Most solid feeling phone I’ve ever held – honestly.  Gorgeous WVGA screen, but lacks in size.  Resistive touchscreen is the best resistive one I’ve used, but obviously doesn’t compare to capacitive – makes sense due to its use of the stylus.

The panels interface is also pretty awesome to use.  Unfortunately, it just doesn’t cover up Windows Mobile 6.1 as much as I’d like it to have.  Whatever ISN’T Windows Mobile is very finger friendly.  Everything else, you gotta dig in with the fingernails – big dealbreaker to some.

Enough jabber.  Check it out!

FRIG!  I’m so mad!  Worst term ever to be without my PS3.  I’ve gotten invites to the LittleBigPlanet Beta, I’ve gotten the Resistance 2 Multiplayer Beta, and now THIS!  THIS!  Beta for arguably the BEST LOOKING GAME EVER (yes, MGS4 included) on PS3!

Had to give my key up to my brother to see if he’d wanna play.  *sigh*.

Jason (my roommate): Whoa, it’s Ebony and Ivory! LOL

Bullet Proof Glass!  Protects from those little puny wholes in the skyscrapers.

Obama: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.  She was born just a generation passed slavery.  A time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky.  When someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons — because she was a woman, and because of the colour of her skin.

Well you’re WRONG OBAMA!  There WERE CARS BACK in 1902!

Obama
“If there is anyone out there, who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dreams of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy; tonight, is your answer.”

“There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America; there is the United States of America.  There’s not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America; there is the United States of America!”

“What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.  This victory alone is not the change we seek; it is only the chance for us to make that change.  And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.  It can’t happen without you, without a new spirit of service, without a new spirit of sacrifice.  So let us summon a new spirit, of patriotism, of responsibility.”

“To those who will tear the world down, we will defeat you.  To those who seek peace and security, we support you.  And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright, tonight we prove once more that the true strength of our nation, comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding HOPE.”

“This is our moment.  This is our time.  To put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth — that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can!”
