Virtual Keyboard

Remember when you were promised all those amazing future tech innovations? Just around the corner was supposed to be a shining technology utopia with flying cars, personal space travel to distant galaxies, and bio-implantable cell phones. It's almost disappointing enough to make you sit at home and watch old episodes of "Space 1999".

Don't lose hope! An amazing glimpse of this promised future has just arrived at ThinkGeek in the form of the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This tiny device laser-projects a keyboard on any flat surface... you can then type away accompanied by simulated key click sounds. It really is true future magic at its best. You'll be turning heads the moment you pull this baby from your pocket and use it to compose an e-mail on your bluetooth enabled PDA or Cell Phone. With 63 keys and and full size QWERTY layout the Laser Virtual Keyboard can approach typing speeds of a standard keyboard... in a size a little larger than a matchbook.

It appeals to my inner geek.

Lindelof and Cuse are sick!

So I was watching Lost Episode 14 of Season 3 right? Ok. You know what? Fuck the summary. Let me get to the good part!

Two of "our losties" are mistakenly buried alive!!! Watching it happen is excruciatingly painful even though from their backstory which was shown in the episode, you want them to bite the dust. BUT NOT LITERALLY?!

It's like.. like.. alright. Just watch the episode. Lost fans only in it for the big picture may either see it as 1: "This doesn't help the plot at all" or 2: "I see that the "not so good people" seem to be getting it."

Lost fans like me, however, who live day by day on pure adrenaline from watching the episodes would've had an orgasm had the episode not make you want to scream out at the top of your lungs and bang your fists in agony at the atrocity that befell Nikki and Paolo (who I started to appreciate as a 'man in love'). Watch the episode to understand.

From a "Lost story-telling style", it had one or two drawbacks with mild but still noticeable regurgitation's of flashbacks from episodes gone by, peppered with some filler of unseen in-between events. It sort of filled up the holes in the Swiss cheese that is Lost but in all honesty, we just want more cheese added on top, because regardless of the holes in the "cheese", it can still support the weight of the plot advancement.

On the other hand, this episode is definitely my most favourite episode from Lost although, it is not my most favourite Lost episode. If you get what I mean.

Episode rating: 7/5
Lost story arc: 3/5 (Interesting information given but next-to-no plot advancement)

Bye bye Mr Soldier man


Good game.... :)

Formula 1 in Singapore

Ok. Firstly, fuck that pubokia Malaysian Sports Minister Azalina Othman Said.

You're in politics. Play the damn game or prepare to be verbally assaulted by me the next time you bad mouth "your wealthy neighbour", Singapore. Fuck you and your pampered ass and stop dissing us just because you're unsuccessful, stupid and useless.

If you don't stop dissing us sooner or later you will find yourself at the brink of war with no funds because of your ignorant stupidity. It was your own damn fault that you wanted us out of Malaysia so now piss off and mind your own damn business you sad sad loser.
