13:38 by FoxTwo In the modern world, we want things to be convenient.
Like cell phones, TV with remotes, and all that. Even on our cell phones, we want hands-free options, like a wired earpiece, or a bluetooth earpiece.
And, on rainy days, imagine holding an umbrella, walking along, then your phone rings. If you didn't have a hands-free kit like a wired or bluetooth earpiece, imagine trying to juggle one hand holding the umbrella, and the other hand picking up the phone while trying to carry your briefcase.
So, in the tradition of everything going hands-free, a company in the USA has redesigned the traditional umbrella to be hands-free, and calls it nubrella.
Very space-age looking eh? I bet if you slap on a silver jumpsuit and airtanks, it could even become a space-suit :)
It's supposed to be flip-proof too, ie if the wind blew under the nubrella, it will not flip inside-out like normal umbrellas.
Since flying cars are late (it's already 2008!), at least this sci-fi looking contraption helps to maintain the image as seen in movies, about the 21st century - people walking around with weird clothes and hats (in this case, umbrellas).
Oh if you want to buy this, it's like US$49.95 or so. Go for it! Links to this post | 3 comments in Blogger |

00:01 by FoxTwo I had a nice romantic dinner date with Daphne and xinyun slated for tonight. Then, xizor volunteered to be the bright spotlight, so he came along too.
Hahah ok I'm kidding. We met for dinner, cos xinyun wanted to show me a nice place with great brownies (I know I know, fattening!). The food is not too bad, and the price, pretty darn cheap, considering its location. The price printed on the menu is what you pay for the food. No extras, no cess, no service charge, nada.
Ok, enough about my dinner with 2 amazing ladies and one spotlight.
The interesting thing is that we noticed an upside-down goldfish swimming in a fishtank near the restaurant. It's not dead, it's not dying. It's just upside down. Proof? Watch the short video below:
Sorry for the lousy quality of the video. I didn't bring my real camera out, and only had my handphone with me. Yeah I know, 3GP videos on handphones suck. Well, at least the goldfish is visibly upside down and alive.
xinyun was saying that she'd seen this a month or so ago, and it was also upside down back then. So either the fish came from Australia, or from India (since heroes in Indian movies take a heck of a long time to die).
Ok, I'll see if it's still alive next month or so, if I ever pass by that place again. Links to this post | 2 comments in Blogger |

00:17 by FoxTwo I was just passing by Merdurian's blog and she had this pretty interesting collage of which celebrity she resembled. So, I went to the website and ran through the whole process with my picture.
It was interesting to see the result actually. I'm actually amazed that the software can recognise my face and go search for a celebrity look-alike for me.
Wanna see who I resemble? Just look at the pic below:
