14 inch Portable LCD Monitor from Toshiba - USB Powered!

It's been awhile since I used dual monitors. I was thinking of getting a bigger one for my office but decided not to because it would become a habit again and I'll be needing to buy another one for home use.

Just this morning, I found this:

• Sleek, lightweight and portable design at only 2.8 lbs
• Travel-friendly at about the size of a slim 14” laptop
• 14” LCD screen with 1366 x 768 HD Resolution
• Powered via USB for easy setup and use (optional AC adapter sold separately)
• Video through USB, no VGA/DVI/HDMI video cable required
• Energy Star 5.0 compliant and DisplayLink certified
• Hybrid carry case/stand included
• Easy adjust brightness control buttons
• Microsoft® Windows® 7, Vista®, and XP® compatible

New Zealand Christchurch Earthquake Economic Implication from HSBC

New Zealand Economic Comment
Earthquake is another set back





Today another earthquake struck Christchurch. The quake was 6.3 on the Richter scale and follows last September’s 7.1 quake which did significant damage to the Canterbury region. Reconstruction following last year’s quake was expected to be a key driver of economic recovery this year, though subsequent aftershocks had delayed it. Today’s event will disrupt economic growth and also delay reconstruction efforts further, posing a downside risk to the interest rate outlook (though we do not expect a cut). Rebuilding will still boost the economy, though the risk is this will occur later than previously forecast.

A peek into the future - Who needs humans?

When I saw the first few seconds of the video, I was like, "WOW!". I'm nowhere living near that but have you noticed how people nowadays are so busy with their gadgets? Imagine a family having dinner.. kids play games in their iPhones. Dad checks email in his blackberry.. mom reads magazines in her iPad. It's nowhere near the video I will show you but you can see it taking shape.



Looks cool, right? Who needs humans?

Here are some of the comments in that Youtube video:

> something trouble me a bit here, everyone living in virtual world and no one seeing each other in real live... do you not want to touch & hug your grand kids anymore??

> Cold cold world

> If the future is this 24/7 endless addiction to technology, shoot me now!

> This is how the life will become almost totally virtual...

> just hoping that humans can really communicate better for the good . . .

MMDA should follow Melbourne Australia

I'm pretty excited to visit Australia again after a decade. What's different now is, I'm going to drive there compared to my last visit where we just rode a tourist bus going around Australia.

Like always, I do research on my country of destination. This is where you can find the internet highly helpful. I would like to share some of my research here:

- They drive on the left side of the road
- No need to apply for international driver's license, as long as your driver's license is written in english. This will be valid for 3 months.
- In Melbourne Victoria, you will be sharing the streets with Trams and Buses and they have strict rules for private motorists to follow.
- 50kph max speed on suburbs and 100kph on highways (unless specified)
- Blocking emergency vehicles can cost you big time - same in the US (Only in the Philippines can you see vehicles chasing an emergency vehicles or worst, over taking them)
- Giveway to everyone attitude
- The complicated right turn called "Hook Turn"

Angry Birds game in real life!

If you have an iPhone or any Android OS mobile device, you have probably played Angry Birds. It's a game that became a phenomenon late 2010. Yes, sounds like a year ago but since it's just a few days away from December now, it's still cool. Dig?



Yeah.. I want one set of Angry Birds toy for myself too.
