Words Of Wisdom

When through life's darkened maze I go
And troubles overwhelm my soul,
Oh, grant me, Lord, the faith to know
That You are always in control. - D. De Haan

Flying pebble...

On Lunar New Year eve, this is what happened while I was on my way to fetch Mich. While driving behind a truck (not that close), a small piece of pebble was thrown up by the rear tyre of the truck. The pebble flew in a direct path towards my windscreen and made a soft tab when it hit the windscreen. I did not notice anything amiss and carried on driving. It was after picking Mich that I realised what happened... a cracked windscreen as can be seen below. Morale of the story... stay at least ten car lengths from any trucks. :-P

Perian 1.1

We love Perian because it is an open-source software that allows us to view .avi, .flv and a couple other media file formats that cannot be viewed by default whilst using Quicktime. And now, Perian has been updated to version 1.1 with major performance improvements.

Crazy One's

The infamous quote in one of Apple's earlier ads:

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Sigma DP1 coming soon - finally!

Sigma announced the highly anticipated Foveon sensor equipped super-duper compact digital camera, the DP1 and it will be arriving very soon! Based on specifications, this camera looks set to become the ultimate compact digital camera for consumers like us. However, the pricing may be rather high when it is ultimately launched, we certainly hope it will drop significantly once the initial interest fades off! :-P
