Bleeps at the Wrong Places

17 Jul 2008 In: Video

When the ‘bleeps’ you hear are placed in inappropriate places, it can be really quite funny. Particularly if it’s done on Sesame Street clips. It’s just sounds so wrong! Enjoy!

Coffee is Good!!

9 Jul 2008 In: Health

Well, I have to confess upfront that I am heavy coffee drinker. The day just doesn’t seem right if I don’t drink a cup of coffee in the morning.

I have greater incentive to drink a little more coffee as research has found that guzzling coffee may help cut heart disease and boost the lifespan. However, I’ll need to be drinking more than five cups of coffee a day. In addition, other research has linked the consumption of coffee leads to lower rates of heart attack, liver cancer and diabetes. But like I always like to say, consume everything in moderation.

In addition, Australian researchers have found that coffee consumption together with a carbs diet can help athletes recover much faster after their training sessions. They found that pairing caffeine and food dramatically increases the levels of glycogen, the main fuel source for muscles. Well, I’m no athlete, so I’ll never know if the research is true. But I’m sure for all athletes this will be a legal way for them to squeeze something extra from themselves in their quest for glory.

I found this video quite inspiring. I feel that having the opportunity to visit so many countries and connecting with the people of each country is just so awesome. Maybe I’ll be able to do something similar. :) Or do something to give back to society.

Mozilla Firefox 3 To Be Launched on 17 June 2008

16 Jun 2008 In: Mac, Web

Download Day 2008

Really looking forward to the release of Mozilla Firefox 3 on 17 June 2008 (18 June in Singapore). Have been using the betas of Firefox 3 (the latest is Release Candidate 3) for the past couple of months and it has been a pleasure to use. The previous version had problems with high memory usage and frequent crashes. But all such problems have eliminated or reduced.

So, remember to click on the logo above and pledge that you’ll download Mozilla Firefox 3 on the launch day!

UPDATE: Had fun playing around with the new version of Firefox 3. Anyway, if you have downloaded, you can go print your own certificate for participating in the download.

Here’s mine:
