BMW isn’t known as the ultimate driving machine for nothing. I recently got my first BMW, albeit a used 316i sedan, and since then I’ve been hooked. Someday, when I win the super lotto or my boss finally decides to give me a raise, the first thing I’ll do is visit the nearest BMW dealership [...]

For some people, the iPhone has taken away their lives. Make sure it doesn’t happen literally. A surveillance video inside a bus in Columbus, OH, caught on tape a hooded teen lunging on a man who was wearing headphones and beating him up when he tried to hang on to his iPhone. Interestingly, nobody tried [...]

Then I stumbled upon befunky.com! This piece of gem is an online application that converts pictures (and videos soon) [...]

I recently came across two old documentary films about the place of my birth. Watching these movies were like traveling back in time but never quite leaving from where I am. 70 years ago, those people were living their lives, unsure of what the future may bring. Those were people who have been released from [...]

One of the most useful features of WordPress.com is the Blog Stats. Although, there are similar plug-ins one can use for the self-hosted WordPress blog, I still prefer the simple and less overwhelming stats from WordPress.com. So I was happy to know that there exists a plug-in exactly like that for my self-hosted blog.

Apeiron, Dubai Everyday we hear of economic, social and environmental problems like the weatherman warns of an impending storm. For as long as we’re sure that behind the darkest clouds lies the sun shining and that the rainbow will come after the rain, there is no need to press the panic button. That may be [...]

Ok, so there is this nice Fathers Day video on YouTube that shows every father’s ultimate toys–Lambos and Ferraris–being pulled-over by cops. Sad thing is, just like most YouTube videos, it’s like watching old silent movies with sound. There is actually a neat trick that you can use to make these videos look much better. [...]

I admit I’ve been waiting for the iPhone 3G for quite some time. I was disappointed when it was not included in the first iPhone release last year. I’ve had 3G with my Nokia N73 before I got my iPhone 1.02 and using EDGE is not the same. With bated breath, I eagerly awaited Steve [...]

First of all, welcome to my new blog! So, this is my first entry as a newbie to blogging outside of the comforts of WordPress.com. Creating a blog that you can have control of, from editing and creating themes to monetizing it, is not as difficult as I initially thought. It is rather a pleasant [...]
