BRAIN COMPASS

LOCKED

2008-09-04T09:16:00.003+08:00

Due to very unfortunate turn out of events, unreconcilable differences, unsettled disputes, and just plain ignorance on Brain Compass's partners and affiliates, I have no recourse and I am forced to lock Brain Compass forever. I chose not to delete this rather just lock it for reference purposes in the event that any spider might crawl this into their engine.

I also am taking this opportunity to thank all of you who supported BC. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I started something like this last June 12 and I'm currently deciding if I'll post future posts here, there instead. I've been very busy hence late updates and that site I'm referring to is still showing the automated Hello World post. I'll let you all know when to make big switch.

Again, thank you everyone! That excludes my affliates here at BC who are the very reason why I'm locking this site. To you dumbasses, I say FUCK YOU ALL! GET THE HELL OFF MY FUCKING INTERFACE! It's called Brain Compass because you need a fuckin' BRAIN in the first place! UP YO ASSES MUTHAFUCKAS!

Dodge Viper ohhhh! I want one!

2008-08-09T08:04:00.006+08:00

Autoblog came up with an article about the latest Viper release and boy, did those pics blew me away. I've been an immaculate fan of Ferrari's though I still can't afford one and I'm already in my effin 40's. I've been saving up for it since I was 21, I fuck you not! The damn problem is I can't save anything because I don't own anything, I get my booze money from begging and the only skill I possess is downing a beer can in a record 5 secs. I did try joining a damn beer-drinking contest at least thrice in this effin lifetime I live but the competition downed a can in a record 4.9 secs. That's .1 sec faster than me. Dammit! I thought I was fast.

Bob's full scale tumbler is fucking gorgeous

2008-08-07T09:29:00.006+08:00

Bob Dullam is my no1 guy kicking out Quentin Tarantino who has been way up there for years now. If someone else could build a Tumbler from scratch and using only the internet for guides and howto's plus around 50-70K then his/her is most welcome to kick out Bob, but for now, Bob is the man!

I also have been using the internet as a guide for my once in a lifetime project and that is beer keg that doesn't leave my side. A beer keg that's always there 24/7. A beer keg that automatically fills me up when it senses that my alcohol levels is down by at least a hangover.

Since all I do is get drunk 24/7, I never really had time to finish the damn project, I aptly called, Project: Beer Keg Leech. And now I'm still in the process of looking for an empty beer keg, damn! All I have are empty beer cans. I think I'll rename it to Project Beer Can Leech.

WHY SO SERIOUS?

Clearblue easy fertility monitor for the unprepared

2008-07-31T06:22:00.006+08:00

This fertility monitor actually tells when your chick is ovulating. I would recommend this for those having a hard time to conceive their first. No more manual calculations using that calendar. And I would definitely recommend this to this acquaintance of mine named Jaymen. Not for the purpose of conceiving his first, rather for the purpose of not conceiving another first.

Jaymen is what you may call a 'macho-estupido-numero-uno.' Why?

Contraceptives abound for the nth decades ago and he just have no idea they existed in the first place. And he had fathered a record number of firsts in record time.
He fucks any chick you serve him: the whore, the prostitute, the house-help, and the dude who lives a two-face life and at night morphs into a woman with skirts and all.
He brags to everyone and anyone that he fucks everyone and anyone. Details included (the only detail he leaves out is his ass full of rashes, and, of course, the two-face life dude)
He would readily fuck a 60 year old like he would readily fuck a 16 year old, except for the fact that he needs to booze to puke status the 16 year old, yet, still, would not fuck him.
He brags that he gives monetary support to 18 year olds that he likes but would not fuck them until their 21.
He accuses me that I fucked all of his 18 year olds and that he just wasted his hard-earned money fucking 60 years olds. And I deflowered his 18 year olds before he had a chance.

That damn, paranoid retard, WTH is the reason of his accusation? well, since I was accused then, I did fuck all of his 18's. Serves him right or me.

ADD/UPDATE:
Now that has got to be the most record number of the word 'fuck' that appears in a post.

ADD/UPDATE AGAIN:
Fuck! It really is!

ViDtoMP3: videos to MP3 conversion tool

2008-07-31T06:10:00.004+08:00

For those who are too lazy in doing the "oh so many" steps in video conversion, here's a dummy tool. VidtoMP3's 4 "oh so easy" steps will have you bloating that 1 terabyte HDD in no time.

And you what's also "oh so many?" The dudes that my ex fucks. And you know what's also "oh so easy?" Well, my ex that I used to fuck.

Openmoko's Neo FreeRunner is the WTG

2008-07-07T06:50:00.005+08:00

FreeRunner is an open-source/linux based phone. It is just like what an open-source phone should be, that is, everything is open for you to tweak including the board. It supports GSM tri-band, WiFi (802.1 1b/g), BlueTooth and GPRS. Now I don't wanna sound like a fucking manual so for a full listing of the specs, click this instead. Other than that, I posted this because this phone is what all phones should be, open-source. Though the iPhone is, well, yeah, open-source in a sense after hacking it, but then you got the fucking warranty voided. Where's the fun in that? Hmmm, that makes it all fun, hack and crack the warranty.

DC™ 30 GPS dog tracking collar for the bitch

2008-07-03T06:13:00.008+08:00

This rugged, all-weather collar has an integrated GPS transmitter and antenna that work with the Astro® 220 to ensure that your dog will never be lost again. Plus, it’s specially weighted so the antenna will always point to the sky for optimal signal.

[via Garmin.com]

If this can work with dogs, it sure can work with my girl. The effin problem with her is that whenever I call her, it takes at least three or four tries by me before she answers the call. And that's usually followed by heavy breathing or she talks as if there's a foot long cheese dog stuck in her mouth. Plus there's a dude in the background whose panting like a race horse after a race.

Now I don't wanna sound paranoid and all but I think she's having an affair. I always ask her who is that dude panting and she says that's its ambient noise, maybe from her boss. I tried tracking her using her cellphone, but it's inaccurate, I think. She works at the city and we live in the suburbs, but every query by me on her cellphone always tracks her, just a block away from our abode, located in the corner where that Enrique lives.

My fave of the weirdest accidents

2008-07-03T05:53:00.008+08:00

DarkRoastedBlend came up with a list of weirdest accidents and this happens to be one of my fave.

Imagine watching the latest installment of Iron Man which happens to be on top of my list of comic-book heroes thanks to that Robert Downey starrer and then just when the ark reactor is about to blow..KABLAM!!! KABOOM!!! WAHPAK!!! WAGABAG!!! A truck makes it way inside the movie house. Surprises of surprises! Now that's suspension of disbelief, believably, of course.

But this has got to be my top fave.

I know there's nothing weird about it and it sure beats the hell out of me why it got listed in first place, but I still have to thank DRB for posting it. It's the chick man! Just look at her being so gorgeous in that white dress and those heels. I've always wanted my girl dressed like that. And if she can be that strong, imagine what I can or we can do with her strings, well off, that is. Now anybody out there who can hook me up with one? Damn! Me fucking rabbit-sense is tingling.

Suckah for the 2009 Ferrari California

2008-06-25T20:33:00.005+08:00

Now the good thing about Ferrari's is you get laid no matter how uber-ugly you are, so long as your ride doesn't end up like this. As a matter of fact even if it ends up like that, the chicks still knows how much dough you still have and that's more than enough.

And the good thing about me not owning one is that I can look like this idiot or like this dumbass and have a ride like this and hang this behind me and you can kiss that kick-ass, chick magnet ride goodbye. Suckah!

Autopsy: no1 on my list in top 10 interactive sites

2008-06-23T08:31:00.004+08:00

BC: Death/Autopsy has got to be my fave interactive website and I have WebUpon to thank by listing it in their top 10.
QUENTIN: This is my fave too. Know what? I'm gonna give my kid a go at this.
BC: Why is that?
QUENTIN: Start em young, and maybe he'll grow up to be successful like me with all the blood and gore in my movies.
BC: Now that's a novel idea.
QUENTIN: Novel? Nah! A navel idea! you see, next movie I make is all about navels. That's where the antagonist makes his move. The 12-inch butcher knife cut and lots and lots of blood. BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD!
BC: Now, where's the blood in this interactive site? I love it when you place the internal organs, one by one on the sink, but if it's interactive, where's the blood?
QUENTIN: You want blood? (pulls out 12-inch butcher's knife and cuts BC author by the navel) toldya it's a navel idea. And that's being interactive.

SMSD for dummies

2008-06-22T11:29:00.005+08:00

Most iPhone users are familiar to SMS handling by Nokia and Sony handsets and I'm currently coding an application for the iPhone which incorporates all of the features of said handsets to an iPhone but the 'job' and the 'hunt' is taking its toll on my time so I guess it'll be delayed. So I'm always suggesting that they use SMSD instead for the time being.

And I've been receiving lots of queries on how to activate SMSD on the iPhone. Again, if you bother googling you'll see lots of how to's and not to's, save all that and the usual techy talk bull, most of the time iPhone owners will have a hard time to follow. There are terms like OpenSSH, setting permissions, BSD etc. Now you'll be thinking that you need a degree or something to make SMSD work, NOT! Just follow these remedies and you'll have SMSD working in a jiffy or if you're as lazy as Peter Pan in Xay's post, you can use WeTools instead.

Thanks to google, amrut, modmyifone, hackintosh and Ricky Reyes for my hair, David's Salon for my make-up and of course, Cebuana Lhuillier for my jewelry, I love you Lucky! nyahahahahaha!

I'm assuming that you've tried installing SMSD thru the INSTALLER application in your iPhone. And I'm betting that when you run SMSD it just crashes and reverts back to the springboard.

And I'm also assuming that BSD subsystem and OpenSSH is installed in your iPhone. Try checking if you have the said packages. If you jailbroke your iPhone yourself using Ziphone then you have those packages installed by default.

If not, then install the packages. Location: INSTALLER -> install -> system.

REMEDIES:

These are in order, meaning try the remedy #1 and if SMSD still crashes, try the next and so on and so, well you know the effin drill.

1. Uninstall SMSD, delete all text messages and conversations then hard restart your iPhone. Install SMSD again. Try.

2. If SMSD still crashes, download UiCTL. Location: Installer -> Install -> Utilities.

2.1 Restart your iPhone then run UiCTL.
Scroll down to "com.amrut.iphone.SMSD" if it's not yet in bold black font then you have to load it, tap it and choose "load -w" Try SMSD.

3. Still not working, Uninstall SMSD then hard restart your iPhone.
Go to INSTALLER -> sources. Tap "edit" then "add" this "http://install.ifon.no"
Download SMSD from INSTALLER -> install -> iFon Norway.
Follow step 2.1 then try SMSD.

There you have it, three simple remedies to get your SMSD working. Now that wasn't hard eh? Feel free to PM me or post your questions at comments and I'll answer them as soon as I get back and when I say back it means when I'm not under the effin influence of a hangover which I always am because that's what I'm paid to do err, I pay to have. Donated a friggin' beer already?

Eye-Fi automatically uploads photos

2008-06-11T08:54:00.002+08:00

All Eye-Fi Cards can automatically deliver your pictures to your computer. PC or Mac. It’s as simple as choosing a folder. The card will then wirelessly deliver your photos to that destination and even arrange them in neat, date-stamped folders.

Your photos can only be delivered to the computer and folder you’ve chosen, so you don’t have to worry about your photos going elsewhere, even if you’re in a different wireless network. And, if you’re a Mac user, you can choose to have your photos delivered directly into iPhoto for the best experience.

To receive photos in this mode, your computer must be turned on and running the Eye-Fi Manager software. It’s a fast and convenient way to upload your photos for later enhancing, publishing or archiving. No messing with cables or cradles.

iPhone 3G coming in July

2008-06-10T12:56:00.002+08:00

The second generation iPhone is coming in July this year. It now boasts of 3G, GPS, improved audio and a new headphone jack that is not recessed, meaning there's no more need for the dock when plugging the iPhone to external speakers. Other than that it still sports the same 2.0 MP camera.

Hmmm... a second gen iPhone for 3G and GPS? Lemme think about that. Wait, I'm holding my horses. If I use 3G to surf the net then I'll be paying. If I use WiFi that I steal from my idiot neighbors' router, I won't be paying for anything. The GPS I might consider. But then again if my neighbor who is a fucking idiot decides to buy a 3G iPhone, I'll steal his instead. It's the price he pay for stealing my wife. I had no idea that slouching in the couch and booze all day equates to the next door handy man guy banging your wife while you sleep, dead-drunk.

Goosh is simply better

2008-06-07T15:19:00.006+08:00

Goosh.org is an unofficial google shell created by Stephan Grothkopp. If your familiar to Unix or Linux, it behaves like running google from a shell. Google.com is pretty damn simple for a search engine one reason why it clicked, but goosh is as simple as it gets. And another thing that is simple is my perv's cousin's thinking.

Not 1 + 1 = 2, more of like 1 girl in bikinis + 1 girl in thongs = 24 hour orgy.

Now that's simple, at least for his imagination.

Thanks to Raffy who needs to visit me again with lots of cash not just the cash to buy the Nokia phone but a lot more for the effin beer! Raf, saraf! NEVAH BETAH!

iPhone jailbreak for dummies

2008-06-06T13:23:00.008+08:00

There’s always the fear of modding the iPhone and ending up with a useless phone and there’s always a time when that fear happens. Say for example you have lots of free WiFi available and you just can’t get a hold of the urge of downloading all the apps and then you end up with an iPhone that just won’t restart. Now what? Replace the phone? Go to the nearest mall and have a so called 'expert' do the job. Or be like Mac (read: McGyver) tatatatatan tanantan tanantan tanananan nan nan (repeat 3x)

Gone are the days when you need to download at least five files and follow a guide that is not guiding you in the right direction (read: lots of techy talk bull.) I know there's already a guide out there. But, indulge me, this is as simple as opening a bottle of SanMig Light and also a try to pay back what I learned. Open source rules! right? So here goes...

What you will need:

iTunes
Ziphone 2.5c for Mac Windows
iPhone
USB cable
internet connection

1. Connect the iPhone to the PC using the cable.
2. Run iTunes.

3. If iPhone firmware is below 1.1.4 click update (for iPhones that are working fine) for iPhones that aren't restarting like the very first image in this post, click restore.

4. After the restore or update, the iPhone will restart restored to its original settings, meaning NOT activated. In the event that the iPhone has been unlocked previously, your phone will still be able to receive messages and calls but that is all it can do, for the time being, relax, light a smoke and read on.

NOTE: Update does not erase the phone book, photos, music, vids, etc. Restore however erases everything.

UPDATE: I am lighting my cigarette.

5. After the restore or update, eject the iPhone, close iTunes then reconnect the iPhone and restart iTunes. After iTunes detects the iPhone, run Ziphone.

NOTE: Make sure that both iTunes and Ziphone is running.

6. Click 'Do it all.' Don't panic if you see white text on your iPhone touchscreen, it's normal. The process takes less than 10 minutes and after your last puff on that Marlboro of yours, VOILA, you got yourself an activated, unlocked and jailbroken iPhone.

Stripper candle scent does not strip for me

2008-06-04T15:02:00.007+08:00

Hotwicks came up with a zane idea and made scented candles that smells strippers. Now how the hell are strippers supposed to fuckin' smell? They say "just imagine the perfume counter at your local department store times a thousand... then add some glitter." Or maybe add a little of dried squids and a pinch of dried fish perhaps? Nah, that ain't no stripper smell. That, my friends is the smell of the thongs I mentioned in my previous post.

I got an idea for hotwicks, instead of the stripper scent or the urinal smell in their candles, why not make scented candles that stinks with the breath of Alven, well, you have no idea who he is, and now I'll give you a hint to know who he is. Ever smelled the breath of someone who hadn't eaten for days, you know, the hungry stomach smell? Yeah! that's it! That's him! Manufacture a scent like that and you could give Chemical Ali a run for his chemical arsenal.

Thanks to Dee from multiply whose reaction with this scented candle I'm gonna echo in this post "... Strippers! Seriously???? WTF?!"

Apps a must to jailbreak your iPhone

2008-06-04T10:52:00.004+08:00

Lifehacker lists 13 apps which is worth jailbreaking your iPhone. I have all the apps listed but the iPhone Video Recorder was the real reason I jailbroke mine. The Video Recorder truly is worth it. It captures both video and audio and is fully customizable. I first tried ShowTime but without the donation, it only records up to four seconds of video minus customization. Though the iPhone Video Recorder lets you use it 30 times for 30 seconds only minus the registration key, well there's always a key lying around somewhere. It's like the thong of my ex, it lies anywhere, everywhere there's a dude with lots of wads of cash. I am not to be mistaken to be a dude with lots of dough, just a dude with X (read: xanthodont)

Ferrari is too hot to handle

I know havin' a Ferrari means hot women and very hot sex in a hot tub anywhere you want to. But sometimes fate rears it's ugly head to those damn lucky dudes in those hot cars. Me, envious? No way, besides not owning a Ferrari or a car or a damn bike which translates to no hot women, no hot sex or even a damn hot tub for me, nah, I'm not whining. Serves 'em right err me right.

Laser target alarm clock

2008-05-19T19:50:00.003+08:00

A laser beam aimed at the exact center of the target is the only way to turn off the alarm sound in the morning. When the laser hits the target the alarm is turned off for 24 hours and goes off at the same time the next day. The alarm will always do this until manually de-activated or the alarm time changes.

[image via/read more at ThinkGeek]

Now this is futuristic. But I'm not. I'm a traditionalist. And my tradition with alarm clocks is they either get hit by a pillow or by my Glock. I find the Glock more amusing because the pillow just can't destroy the fucking thing, with the Glock, I surely wake up from my slumber and blast the damn thing to smithereens. I'm still getting this clock not because of the laser but for my Glock.

Mad TV Heroes spoof is hilarious and I'm late

2008-05-14T19:31:00.004+08:00

I know I'm late and this vid was posted months ago but better late than fucking never. I just have to post this. It's so funny and you know what else is funny? It's me being like the Hiro spoof in the first part of this vid. You see I finally got a chance to score with a hot chick and just like any loser I asked my friend who is a ladies man and he told me that I should take her out to some oyster bar. Oysters, just in case your an idiot not to know, are famous for being an aphrodisiac. But then after a couple of baked ones, I found myself locked inside the toilet for two grueling hours. And the hot chick, well, my friend who is a ladies man I told you earlier, got to score with her. Fuck him! I AM GONNA kill all of his kin and feed their remains to my dogs.

Thanks to riain who I still own a skyliner, still.

GTA IV hauls four Guiness records

2008-05-14T06:28:00.004+08:00

Grand Theft Auto IV was released on April 29, 2008 and has since gone on to break the following four records:

- Most expensive game ever developed ($100 million)
- Biggest entertainment release of all-time
- Highest grossing video game in 24 hours
- Highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 Hours

Guitar hero IV details released, very promising

2008-05-14T06:22:00.003+08:00

"Guitar Hero IV will follow closely in the footsteps of Rock Band, offering new instruments including a bass, microphone, and six-piece drumset that includes two cymbals. It is unknown whether or not the Guitar Hero IV instruments and Rock Band instruments will be cross-compatible.

Rock stars can step into the studio to create their own songs and share them with other players online courtesy of the newly minted Guitar Hero Tunes service, but these tracks will be devoid of vocals.

While no song titles were yet confirmed, Van Halen, The Eagles, Sublime, and Linkin Park will all be making appearances on the tracklist."

This is not for your grandpa who is already having a hard time battling Parkinson's. This is for all the smugglers out there. They mix coke bags with coffee beans right? Now how do you smuggle in ecstasy? This is perfect, you see, it costs 10 dollars for a lug nut pill case, yeah that's a lot for a pill holder but then again what little price to pay to have your shit glide through customs without a hitch. Send yourself at least 100 crates of these packed with tablets and declare it as, well, what else? lug nuts and you can start your very own Amsterdam. They'll never guess. And did I mention that it's water-proof? Perfect eh?

"Jill Price, 42, can remember every part of her life since she was 14 but considers her ability a curse as she cannot switch off.

Every detail about every day since 1980 - what time she got up, who she met, what she did, even what she ate - is locked in her brain and can be released to come flooding back by common triggers like songs, smells or place names.

Her condition is so rare that scientists had to coin a term for her condition - hyperthymestic syndrome from the Greek thymesis, for remembering, and hyper, meaning well above normal."

[via telegraph.co.uk]

Why is it that there is always someone with extraordinary abilities who hate their ability? Come on, if I had powers like Hiro Nakamura, I'll surely abuse it to the maximum and get my self filthy rich. And if I had hyperthy...blah blah shit, I can surely find ways to get me compensated mucho dinero maximo. But then again when it comes to memory retention, all I can remember is that I was up late drinking last night like all other nights and I was very drunk, again like every other night. I have no idea who I slept with or where the fuck did I sleep. And why the hell did I woke up inside the maid's quarters with nothing on. Shit! I think I have an idea why their smiling at me a while ago and singing "teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini." Dammit! The secret's out.

10 useful gadgets for mobile computing

2008-05-10T14:27:00.003+08:00

Carrying a portable mass storage device is a potential security risk. If it gets stolen or accidentally left somewhere, it can be accessed if it has no sort of encryption or locking device. Adding an extra layer of protection to your data is made easy with the STYSEN E08 RFID Security Mobile Disk. It works by locking your hard drive which you can then unlock using an RFID key.

Portapack for pervs? NOT!

2008-05-10T12:06:00.004+08:00

PORTA2030 deploys porta-pack, a mobile network unit that builds on a wifi harddrive (WL-HDD2.5) for multi-faceted transmission. Installed with a 1GB flashcard and programmed in open source codes, the porta-pack functions as a portable data sensing-storage-tranmission unit. A webcam streams images live while an LCD mini-terminal with 4 click action push buttons serves as basic communicative device. The urgency signals triggered by the sensors set in public space further commands porta-porters’ collective action.

[via/readmore at richair]

This got me worried, well after watching The Flock topbilling Richard Gere, this really got me worried. There's a scene in the movie where a sexual offender partnered with a hidden webcam was filming children playing at some park. Now this portapack might bring new ideas to those 'soul-be-damned forever' perverts. It's a good thing they colored this yellow because in the event that you see one guy sporting this around kids, you can very well give that guy a dozen smack on the face. And don't forget to bring him to your basement and use the balls-torture technique done on Daniel Craig in the movie Casino Royale. And if you're feeling sentimental, there's always room for a copycat of Kevin Spacey in the movie Seven. Kill those pervs!

Cellphone for mind control

2008-05-09T19:45:00.006+08:00

[image via goodtailbadtail]

The data showed that when the cell phone was transmitting, the power of a characteristic brain-wave pattern called alpha waves in the person's brain was boosted significantly. The increased alpha wave activity was greatest in brain tissue directly beneath to the cell phone, strengthening the case that the phone was responsible for the observed effect.

"The significance of the research," he explained, is that although the cell phone power is low, "electromagnetic radiation can nevertheless have an effect on mental behavior when transmitting at the proper frequency." He finds this fact especially remarkable when considering that everyone is surrounded by electromagnetic clutter radiating from all kinds of electronic devices in our modern world.

Test your ISP via Glasnost

2008-05-08T10:06:00.004+08:00

Certain ISPs have been shown to rate limit or block BitTorrent traffic sent by their customers. While there are multiple reports of this on the web, only a few ISPs have admitted that they manipulate BitTorrent traffic. And, to date, it is hard for users without networking expertise to gain evidence about the behavior of their ISP.
This test suite creates a BitTorrent-like transfer between your machine and our server, and determines whether or not your ISP is limiting such traffic. This is a first step towards making traffic manipulation by ISPs more transparent to their customers.

Call yourself using phonemyphone

2008-05-08T08:00:00.004+08:00

Acccording to phonemyphone, you can use this to find your cellphone when you misplaced it around the house and you have no other cellphone to call it with or you can escape boring meetings when you schedule it to call you and last, the definitely indefinite reason is you can also use this to end sucky dates early. Now that got me thinking, this app works when you go to their site and you choose to let it call you 'now' or you schedule it to call you at a later time and date. Now bear with me on this, how do you know that your date will suck in the first place? Because that's only reason that you'll schedule it to call you during the sucky date, right? Unless your date always sucks, well, then why go for another date in the first place? Well my date always sucks and I mean that in a totally different manner.

Director's cut of Satifaction: for men's eyes only

2008-05-07T18:53:00.005+08:00

I just have to post this being a fan of Benny Benassi and all. Those girls with power tools really gives a new meaning to the phrase "push me" and "so I can get my satisfaction." But I'll never ever be around someone with a power saw. Remember Lorena? Duh! Lorena! This is one clip that you should never let your girlfriend see. The fetish thing could all be an act and you could very well be a victim of those tools. Damn it! Think of your girlfriend as a surgeon and these is the wish-list of her devices the minute she caught you cheating, and yes, even if your cheating with a fucking doll. *creeps*

Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1 delayed

2008-05-04T07:49:00.004+08:00

This phone comes with WiFI 802.11 b/g plus GPS. It also has touchscreen with motion sensor. I just have no idea if it's like the multi-touch screen of the iPhone. It uses Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and will be available by early 2008.

I know your drooling right now and just can't wait to get your hands on one. Save those saliva because, if my sources are right which they always are, the release of Sony X1 was pushed to February 2009. Maybe the iPhone will have the tactile feedback by then and will be sporting a 160GB storage.

Chemical compass created

2008-05-02T19:20:00.004+08:00

One theory says that animals use magnetite minerals to somehow sense magnetic field direction. The other theory holds that birds might ‘see’ a magnetic field using their eyes. For this to be perceived, there would have to be some sort of chemical reaction of molecules in the eye (perhaps involving free radicals) that could be influenced by the direction of magnetic field lines.

But until now, there has been no evidence that such a reaction could be influenced by a field as weak as that produced by the Earth. Now, an international team lead by Christiane Timmel and Peter Hore at the University of Oxford has demonstrated that this is possible.

"We’ve established a proof-of-principle that this kind of chemistry can be used to detect fields as weak or weaker than that of the Earth, and that we can detect the direction of that field, which is crucial for a compass," says Hore.

OK, you got me there, I just find it fitting to post an article with the word compass like an article with the word brain. This is after all brain compass.

Bats are louder than Van Halen

2008-05-02T19:04:00.004+08:00

At close range—some four inches (ten centimeters) from the bat's mouth—bat cries exceeded 140 decibels (dB), which is a measurement of sound pressure.

[image from/read more at NationalGeographic.com]

Now that a new study confirms how loud are bats, it makes me wonder how my beer-buddy's wife can be louder. You see, my friend and I have made this pact a long time ago about our beer-drinking habits. And that is no one leaves the other behind to drink by his lonesome. But I made a pact with the devil for a lifetime's supply of beer that I'll be drinking every night for the rest of my life, that is before the heart disease eventually stops me dead off my tracks err mug. Now the devil said I'll never die of heart disease, that is if I bring along my friends with me for the pact I made. So now you know it, I need my friend more than his wife needs him. Actually I'm in need of many friends because the gout and kidney disease are not included, the devil said.

Bio-diesel processor for your home

2008-05-02T18:42:00.004+08:00

This type of Processor is called an appleseed processor. It uses an old (or new if you feel like dropping the money) water heater. The amount of fuel you can make will depend on the size tank you use.

[via Instructables.com]

Since awareness about global warming is reaching record heights like the rising temperatures, what better time than now to learn how to make your own bio-diesel. Here is one way how to. Now I'm thinking why not make a device that recycles crap? There's lots of crap lying around anyway. Take the beloved street where I grew up, those damn neighbors use the fucking road for their pet's crap. One day when I woke up from with a heavy hangover, I saw a neighbor of mine crap beside his crapping pet. Oh the lovely couple, he always kisses that dog of his, letting the dog lick his lips, face and sometimes his ass. Now I know that a dog licking his master's ass is not new for some but for a master letting the dog lick his face after he unnoticed his pet eat some of its own crap, well, that's crap.

Robotic alarm for my crosshair

2008-05-02T18:09:00.003+08:00

This little wonderful wheeled alarm clock started as an engineering student's project. Having trouble waking up herself, Gauri Nanda developed Clocky to shriek annoyingly and effectively, waking you up. The fun doesn't end there, kiddies. It leaps off of your night stand, and drives around your room, making random turns and racing away from your grasp. Now you have to get out of bed and hunt the little bugger down to turn it off.

[via ThinkGeek]

I had my share of alarm clocks and it all goes where all of them goes-the trash can. But I found a new use for this innovative alarm clock. First I'll try placing tripwires all over my room well, wired to some C4 which by the way was supplied by some friend from the military, and we'll just see how this robotic clock can bounce around my room before blowing itself up. And if all else fails, I trust my AR-51 to do the trick that is if the beer cans scattered all over my room doesn't get to this clock first.

Brain drains power even in stand-by mode

2008-04-30T06:38:00.005+08:00

[image from Sciam.com]

A new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA indicates that two thirds of the brain's energy budget is used to help neurons or nerve cells "fire'' or send signals. The remaining third, however, is used for what study co-author Wei Chen, a radiologist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, refers to as "housekeeping," or cell-health maintenance.

It's not just this blog is called as such. It's because that now I know that it doesn't matter that you rest all day or bounce around all day that you recharge or deplete your body's energy. No matter how long I stay on that couch and hone my remote-pressing skills I still lose energy. So what's the better way to lose energy? Get out of the couch, get some beer then get back on the couch then get hold of that remote. It's the beer that makes all the difference in the world.

Florida moves to ban truck nutz

2008-04-29T07:19:00.006+08:00

Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.

[via Reuters.com]

Now this is what it looks like...

and it's available in 10 colors, you just let it hang at the rear fender of your truck and there you have it, you offend those behind you. If the proposal pushes through, you're fined $60 when you adorn your ride with this. Honestly, I find it hard to imagine why I'll let these balls hang from my rear, nothing replaces the good old finger when someone tailgates you and the "up your ass! asshole!"

UNO -MotorUnicycle is cool

2008-04-28T08:09:00.008+08:00

Operation of the 54.4 kg (120 lb) machine is simple, in fact it's so simple there are no controls except for an on-off switch. To go forward you simply push your body weight forward to tilt the machine. To back up, just lean back on the seat to tilt it backwards and back it goes. The farther you lean, the faster it accelerates. The gyro tells the ECU how much to accelerate and that in turn delivers the proper amount of current to the electric motors, one for each wheel.

Finally! Why did it took that long to have this rolling out on the streets? This would definitely make me one mean-looking, kick-ass, balance-maniac dude. But I think I'll pass on the helmet. You see ever since I started riding bikes, I always make a pass on helmets and look where it got me- 28 crashes and over 41 inches of stitches. Don't be a fool, wrap your tool, I mean your head be not like me, well, a fool.

Cellphone booth is ridiculous

Nick Rodriguez had an epiphany and here it is-a portable cellphone booth. You've got to ask yourself, is this the way I would want people to see me use my iPhone? Not! Ask yourself again, does my breath really smell that bad? Because that is the only way I'm getting my hands err head on one of this. Could somebody please flush the toilet? Oops! My mistake! Where the hell is that toothbrush?
