2008 Honda Odyssey Touring

What do you get when you cross the front of a Liana and the rear a Chrysler Grand Voyager? You get the 2008 Honda Odyssey Touring. Contrary to the 2007's lower and more sportier Odyssey, the 2008 model had definitely much grown up with more practically as a family MPVs it provides for. Honda's incrementalist approach to...

It turns out some projects will require constant design revisions to be perfect. Got news from my teammate that our supervisor wants another design change to the design of the simulator, namely making it more "unique" however, this means having to go a full 360 degrees into a total revamp, reason being our design is common for...

Silly MS-DOS 5 Promo Video – No PC should be without it

To spoil that moment of Zen. I can't believe that this is actually a real commercial Microsoft used for promote MS-DOS back in the stone ages. 45kb of extended memory? You can't simply stop laughing and go "what-the?" at the same time. OMG, a graphical Shell?

Shaun’s Technology Predictions in 5 years time

Had sometime, so I guess I got kinda carried away typing up a "short post" on technology changes I would expect in years to come, the end result is this post.

Remembering 9/11

If actions speak louder than elegy, it tells you where we are that the team coverage on the eve of the 6th anniversary of 9/11 alternated between General Petraeus' performance on Capitol Hill and Britney Spears' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Osama returned to prime time, only to be mocked for his "impotence" and apparent...

Mizuno Creation 8 – Heavy! Considering Polar RS400SD

Did another short 15km run yesterday evening with my old Asics DS trainers. This time it actually felt easier to run with the lighter shoes- the Mizuno is too packed with so much technology inside it simply just too heavy for running (>more than 300g). True the Mizuno have much better cushioning than my almost- disfunct DS...
