Tribute to Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson

Science literacy is at unacceptable lows in the U.S.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the few figures in science that can explain and outline scientific facts in a way that is both entertaining and informative.

The Sixth Sense That I Want!

A friend in Facebook, Susan used to ask me before about the differences between sixth sense and instinct. I couldn't recall much on what I had answered her last few months but I remembered in the end of the discussion, I got confused. So, I suggested her to visit the Wikipedia or books to get better and trustable information. At the same time, I promised if I have come across with any information about sixth sense and instinct I will inform her.

To my surprise, as I was doing some visiting to my friends' blogs in this cold morning, I came across with this stupendous video clip from @NileshBabu about the future 'Sixth Sense'. This is the 'Sixth Sense' I am looking for, not just touch screen iPhone or easy access BlackBerry. This future technology is going to be our extra senses and even strengthen our instinct. You know what I mean if you watch this. Some cool scenes which I love so much.


















I guess I am a bit out-dated with the news since it has been published like 8 months ago. How not geek I am, I know. Anyway, it is better late than never right? Lol..





P/s: I wonder, will my curryegg name appear on my body if the TED device scan over me? Emm..

Arthur C. Clarke: A Tribute to Genius

Arthur C. Clarke was a genius science fiction author.

I am in love with a certain short story of his found squeezed next to one I am far less fond of, but is still a good read.

"The City and The Stars" & "The Sands of Mars" are two different short stories contained in one novel.

c3471

THE CITY AND THE STARS The 10-billion-year-old metropolis of Diaspar is humanity's last home. Alone among immortals, the only man born in 10 million years desperately wants to find what lies beyond the City. His quest will uncover the destiny of a people...and a galaxy.

"Diaspar" is, in itself, a commentary on all society.
The entire body of this short story is like a large running commentary on the arrogance of humanity, and it's immense value as well.
This place is like a real city in my mind.
One possible outcome of all human civilization. One of many possible worlds.
A place of stagnation via perfection. Tyranny via acceptance.
A world where truly original thoughts and adventuring spirits are not just silenced, but wholly absent.
--
For those who dive deeply into his work, there is much to discover.
Not only did he accurately predict advances in science by means of science fiction, but I believe he held an insight to the greater elements at play in our world:
The Human Condition
The Foundations of Society
The Collective Self

Grab RM1100 From SurfLoft?!!

SurfLoft.Com.
What's this about?


I questioned myself when I first saw this website link in my email box, few days ago. Well, in order to satisfy my curiosity (I have this all the time), I clicked the link and started exploring myself about SurfLoft.Com. It didn't take me too long to learn about this website because anyone can immediately get the message about this website from first glance.




SurfLoft.com is simply about technology, gadgets, products and the internet. Seriously, I think the content is useful especially for people like me who is trying to keep up with the trend. Ok la. I confess I am not an updated person and I know little about the IT world. Anyway, that doesn't mean that I can't learn right?

As a blogger, I have the urge to learn anything which can help me to connect with the internet world better. Yes. Anything!


1) If I can get a better internet connection, I may stop subscribing to Streamyx.

(I am thinking of P1 Wimax lately. I shall start surveying the price)

2) If I know early that Lumix is better than CyberShot, I may go for Lumix.
(Confession: I am still a fans of Cyber-Shot. What to do? Red is too gorgeous!)






3) If I know I can win a prize for N96, I may not buy my current Axus laptop.
(My N-eggie works pretty well so far. Thank Nokia!)






Let's stop bugging myself with all sort of 'if' questions....

Eeerrr......Wait!
If someone can tell me early, I may....
Ok. Stop that curryegg!
This is not healthy.


Discovering SuftLoft.com has opened a new direction for me in learning more about the electronic world. Other than just a website, there is a corner for discussion (forum) in which members can discuss any topic and at the same time making new friends. I guess it is a good place for me to seek opinion and suggestion about gadgets from the expert. Right?

Before signing up as a member, I was attracted with their contest: Win RM1100???

Gosh! Why am I so-so-so late?

Today is the deadline and I don't think I manage to grab anything. Well, it is ok then. I believe there is always 'next time'? Haha..


What are you waiting for?
Visit here and explore yourself. You will find the truth.


P/s: Am I potential enough to be a geek in future? Now, it's your turn to tell the truth... If you are one, tell me. I shall learn from you.. :)
