I never would have thought that looking for a new moblie phone would be so hard. I've had a simple Sony Ericsson z520a for a good while, enough to tell me that I don't really need gadgets on my phone. All I do is make calls and send texts. The camera, I never use, nor do I use the browser, or even the games. The novelty of those things died out after just a month.

On the other hand, there's all these smartphones popping up and with prices plummeting, its made me rethink what I really want in a phone. Are 5 megapixel cameras going to tear me away from my beloved Panasonic TZ5? Are web browsers on phones going to rip me apart from my Macbook? I did a bit of cell searching and this is what I found out...

Change.

That's the campaign that Barack Obama was campaigning for, and change is what the americans got. The change in presidency brought thoughts around the world for the US to end its 'my stick is bigger than your stick' mantra so well known in Iraq. Will he do exactly that? That's tough to say. But will he bring the USA off from its knees and rally americans together to bring back faith in the white house? I can't even say a definite 'yes' on the one. But what I do know is that he's already done what President Bush so thoroughly neglegted, given the American people confidence and hope.

So for those of you who follow Formula 1, you'll certainly have followed the final race to a dramatic, chaotic, and very controvercial season of Formula 1.

For those of you not really into the loop, just know that the winner of the Formula 1 world championship turned out to be a fight to the last race, the last lap, and the very last corner. It was an extremely thrilling finish to a crazy season, with two drivers Filipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton, vying for the crown.

It started out as any other Grand Prix, cars lining the grid, ready to race. But just as the lights were about to go out, the heavens opened and smothered everything that she could offer. This lasted just a few minutes, but it threw the teams into confusion as to what tires to slap on their cars. Should they gamble and stay with the dry tires, or be safe and go with the wet tires?

So I was browsing the 'net for some interesting things to look at. News, the election in the US, and of course, Formula 1 results. Nothing though, beats what I found at Edushi. This site amazed me upon first clicking on the link. I think you'll understand why...

This is a 3D rendering of the Hong Kong Harbour. Exact to the very last detail. And I thought google earth was cool? Well, when you've seen this, google earth is nothing! I've been to Hong Kong and I can attest to the accuracy of the buildings. Even the shapes and colours of each building is rendered to almost perfect accuracy. The Docks aren't even the same. To any casual observer, you could make all the docks the same shape and no one would care. But at Edushi, each dock is different, rendered exactly like the real thing. To just think about the man-hours that went into this is enormous! I had a hard time in Sim City creating a couple buildings and these guys just blew that entirely out of the water and detailed every single building. Read More »

And we have yet another extremely useful way to spend time. Serf's up is not a game that you may usually think of because of the title. It's got nothing at all to do with surfing and I really don't know how the name connects to the game at all. Nonetheless, its simple, requiring only a single click of the mouse to play. A surefire winner!
