1/5th scaled RC MIG-29 fighter jet - 1:31 pm
Cool Stuff , Gadgets  -  poster 

Helenair over at Metacafe uploaded this video of the first preparation flight of a 1/5th scaled MIG-29 fighter-jet.

The team has seemingly created a sweet RC scaled MIG-29, costing between $5,000—$15,000 and the replica was fitted with two turbine engines, which were not tested at their full capacity.



$5,000 - $15,000 ?? I think I could get a new car with that money but hey, the RC model is so cool ! Even the landing phase is so smooth =)

Command & Conquer
This does not happen all the time, but EA has decided to provide FREE downloads to their original Command & Conquer Gold in ISO format !!! What are you still waiting for if you don't have a legal copy of it *cough*cough* ?

One good thing is I'm pretty sure that my notebook which is powered by a graphic card that I borrowed from museum will be able to run this game. Memories from good o' days ~~ biggrin



Thanks largely to the efforts of our loyal fans whom continue to sustain and grow the Command & Conquer community, Command & Conquer has become a legendary franchise and it’s time to celebrate its birth once again.

In order to give back to the fans for over 12 years of devotion we are putting together a 12th Anniversary celebration during the month of September. However, as any Command & Conquer fan knows, the true party starts today, August 31st, which marks 12 years since the original Command & Conquer launched way back in 1995.

To kick the celebration off, today we have a special surprise which we are certain new and old Command & Conquer fans will enjoy. We are providing the original Command & Conquer as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade, and is now available for you to download for free!

Complete NES Nintendo games collection - 3:48 pm
eBay - the only place you can find
Cool Stuff , Crazy Stuff , Gaming  -  poster 

A "die-hard" fan has collected EVERY game ever made by Nitendo. His goal ? To sell the collection on eBay and earn $$$ ... glare

670 Nintendo Games
670 Nintendo Games


According to the seller, there are 670 games that are in good condition. On top of that, he included a NES System and 12 Accessories (ROB the Robot, Power Glove, Power Pad, etc). It's funny that the seller wrote this

If it matters to you ... all of my games come from a smoke free home

Well, we're pretty sure your house is a smoke free home, but can you be sure that the 670 games that you obtained from somewhere else *cougheBaycough* is smoke free too ??

With 4 days 21 hours left for this auction, the current bid has raised up to US $25,000.00. If I have this much of spending power, I'll definitely make sure I win this bid.... oh well, I lied.

Diet Coke + Mentos = Fire Extinguisher - 5:28 pm
Who will drink diet coke anyway ?
Cool Stuff , Crazy Stuff , Funny Stuff  -  poster 

Probably you've already heard about this: Diet Coke + Mentos = fire extinguisher ?? (oh well, people loved to call it as liquid bomb instead of fire extinguisher to make you remember that we're living in a global terrorism era...)

"What happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It's amazing and completely insane." See below for crazy diet coke and mentos experiment ...

Some people just have too much coke and time to spend ;)

They say it can go up to 5 metres high up the sky...

You can find more "home made fire extinguisher" videos on YouTube, or human experiment on Google video , or you can find the glory from Eepybird.com that carries out those crazy experiments. While it's fun to play with, do you want to know how it works ? Below is the explaination from Eepybird.com:

Quote:
These chemists are saying that the primary cause is physical, not chemical. Their explanation: nucleation sites. If you have a liquid that is supersaturated with gas (like soda, which is pumped full of carbon dioxide), a nucleation site is a place where the gas is able to form bubbles. Nucleation sites can be scratches on a surface or specks of dust – anywhere that you have a high surface area in a very small volume. That's where bubbles can form.

Mentos seem to be loaded with nucleation sites. In other words, there are so many microscopic nooks and crannies on the surface of a Mento that an incredible number of bubbles will form when you drop it in a bottle of soda. Since the Mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the bottom. The escaping bubbles quickly turn into a raging foam, and the pressure builds dramatically. Before you know it, you've got a big geyser happening!

Still don't understand what the heck is 'Nucleation sites' ??
Quote:
You can see nucleation sites in action if you coat the inside of a small glass with vegetable oil. Move the glass around to get a nice smooth coating of oil and then pour in some soda. What happens? No fizz. Why? No nucleation sites. Now sprinkle in some granulated sugar. What happens? Lots of fizz! Why? Lots of nucleation sites!


Do whatever you like with this, just don't try this near the security screening line in any airports, particularly in U.S. or Europe... and don't test this with your stomach too heh

Sony Ericsson K800 - 10:03 pm
A phone that's more
Cool Stuff , Gadgets , Mobile  -  poster 

I've been checking out this phone lately, Sony Ericsson K800, after I decided not to go for Nokia 6280 two months ago. It's hot on the shelves now just like when Nokia 6280 first came out.

Sony Ericsson K800
Sony Ericsson K800, this phone is highly advertised with "I'm with Cyber Shot, please take me home !". Well, the phone is equipped with a 3.2 megapixel Cyber-shot™ camera with autofocus. Opps... did I forget to mention it comes with Xenon flash too? This is a nice phone with nice feature that I've been waiting since Nokia 6280, which has poor imaging quality. I've checked alot of sites with heaps of reviews, everything sounds so nice until I found out that SE K800 records video in QCIF (176 x 144 pixels) resolution only. Don't know what QCIF means ? Never mind, but you should know what 176 x 144 pixel means... You don't want to capture some moments that's funny/shocking/precious in just a tiny 176x144 video format, that sucks ! Why can't a good phone with all those nice feature be perfect ? I don't mind to wait longer or pay a little more if for better video recording quality. Just wondering if the engineers in SE have guns pointed at them in order to push this phone out to market...

Personally I don't really care whether the phone is "candybar", flip, slide, or even 360 degree turnable design. So the SE K800 is still acceptable to me but hey, 105 x 47 x 22 mm is a bit too "bricky" for me to fit in my pocket if I'm wearing a jeans (out of topic, although lately I don't put my phone in bottom's pockets because I heard it will affect that thing...) The phone is consider light weight despite the size of the phone.

I still can't make up my mind to own it or just wait for another phone. Overall, this is a great phone, just that I'm not happy with the video recording... geez... how much longer I need to wait for a perfect phone before I can put my Nokia 8210 up on eBay...

Stress from work?? There are many ways to release tension. I'll share one of my ways, somebody might find it useful. Below is what I tried and it's very effective:

One of the ways to release tension...

This tv is looking good and sitting there peacefully... too bad it's standing in my way...The brand of the TV is blured to protect the innocent (me).

A hit-through the CRT screen. Does that looks like something you want to do in real life but only can be done in your dreams ? hehe...


I do understand that many of you are aware that this is an expensive way to release tension... and it might only appear in your wildest dreams but I can tell you this method is very useful if you do it ocassionally... heh

ps: remember to sweep away those glass fragments on the floor...
