FANKEOW!

I've Got A Rolly!!

one of the toys i got off this Tokyo trip was a Rolly which was just launched in Japan. when Sony first released the teaser video and image of the object, there were many wild guesses what it was. turns out it’s a Dancing Audio Player! i didn’t think much of it until i saw one in action at the airport just before we boarded our flight. so cute i had to get one!!

i haven’t got the time to play with it, but check out this video!!

the “fun” part is you can write Dance Motion files for every different song, basically choreograph dance steps for it. and there’s a Rolly community where you share your Dance files and you can download them for your Rolly.

check out this Hung Up one. very disco-ey!

Nixon Headphones

now these are what i call stylish headphones. the entire series is to die for. i saw an ad in this issue’s Details. launching in December.

new toy

so, i placed my order for a Macbook Pro 15 incher 2.53GHz earlier this evening at the iShop 3rd Anniversary roadshow. Happy Birthday iShop! saw one in the flesh the other day and i was sold. running my fingers across its new aluminium casing is sheer geek heavens. they’ve run outta stock for the 2.53 cos the first batch came in measly numbers and all were snatched within the first day. new shipment shd be in next week.

which means my other still very new Macbook Pro will be given to someone else. any takers?

Google Killer Burgers

i think Google is trying to kill their employees. they serve their very own lethal (and i mean literally lethalally) combo Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheeseburgers. that thing screams HEART ATTACK!

MSIE

MSIE is an acronym for: MSIE (M)U(S)T D(IE)!

for web developers and designers, MSIE is the worst stinking piece of crap ever. it’s sucha stupid dumb dumb browser it doesn’t even understand the “position: fixed” code. when we create a website, we have to ensure that it looks ok across all platforms and browsers, and sometimes different versions of the same browser, and we always get stuck when it comes to MSIE. it’s always the only one being the spoilt brat needing extra attention.

Lifeguard Static Remover

i’m sure it has happened to you before. you shop in a supermarket, load up your cart with goodies, pay at the cashier… push your cart to the elevator… press the button for elevator and ZZZZZAAPPP!!! you get static electrocuted!

other scenarios of electrocution may include: rubbing your friends’ elbows the wrong way and genna zapped! and in the worst case scenario… get zapped on the lips when you kiss!! dun laugh!! it happens!! you literally watch sparks fly if that happens! how’s that for sexual chemistry? LOL.

ok, actually i can think of at least ONE OTHER more painful situation. but i’ll leave you to ya imagination. some things are better left undescribed. lol.

anyhowzah, here’s a reminder for me to pick up one of these static removers. winter is just round the corner in Japan (meaning static charge will be at it’s highest) and they’re fast releasing these handy gadgets. i bought one from Tokyo Hands in Japan long ago cos i used to get zapped EVERY FUCKING TIME i opened my metallic cabinets in my TV12 office. so i actually dezapped everything before touching any metallic surfaces. it was seriously affecting my work! i was mousing around the cold furniture with trepidaton!

before arming myself with one of these static removers, i used to be super spastic being so afraid to open the cabinets, so i’d go near, retract, go near, and retract, and then try my luck eventually when i’ve mustered enough courage to go for it, and…

ZZZZAPPPP!

and then i’ll go “FUCKING CH88BYE!”…

Sour Apples

i can’t help but feel a tad sidelined by the Apple’s new products – another droolsome overhaul to the Macbook and Macbook Pro lines, and super nice eco-friendly LED Cinema Displays… except they only work with the new line of laptops. and oh, no firewire ports too. are they serious? does this signal the death of firewire? 3 years and power users dun get to use the new screens? BAH.

the G5 is due for a desperate makeover. not that it looks one bit outdated. still very power. but with all the enchancements made to the other lines, i think it’s NOT FAIR.

Apple. help your power users spend money on you.

meninos hd cases

these wacky hard disk cases will be so fun to have on the desktop! a more careful look will reveal the clever “edits” they made to avoid any potential law suits from the companies which inspired these. they also offer a 100% customised HD case where you send in your own graphics. really good gift for the geeks!

can someone buy me one for x’mas? i love the Mac Finder case (cos i’m a Mac addict) and the Pringles ones (Pringles addict every 3 months).
