Nokia N80 Voice Command Feature

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

I’ve been tinkering around w/ the N80 for a couple of days now, & the thing that really impresses me the most about the unit, is the VOICE COMMAND feature. On the first try after resetting the Voice Adaptations, the unit was immediately 100% accurate right away in terms of following the voice commands, [...]

UFC 70 On RPN 9

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

‘Other Fights’
* The results of most of the fights of this UFC event were not really that exciting, lots of decision wins, no submission wins & few Knock Outs.
* There’s been a lot of hype regarding Machida, mainly because of his unbeated record, & that he once beat Rich Franklin. But he’s [...]

Just Another US Campus Shooting Massacre

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

The Virginia Tech shooting early this week. Just another shooting massacre, in another US Campus.
So, what else is new? This is not the 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd time this has happened. This is the nth time this has happened, and, of course, if you ask the NRA, Gun Control has ABSOLUTELY [...]

Blaze Of Glory On GMA-7

Monday, April 16th, 2007

* I think Brian now needs to think about retiring from boxing, & pursuing other interests outside of the ring. This is his 3rd consecutive loss by decision. He has not been knocked out lately, I’ll give him credit for that. But it just seems he doesn’t have the skill, heart [...]

Iraq: America Loses Another War

‘Vietnam’
After the unbelievably huge success of Desert Storm, the whole world was regaled by stories of how the US military rose up from the ashes of its defeat in Vietnam, & became the overwhelming, almost god-like force it was in Iraq.
Vietnam was such a traumatic experience for the US military, that succeeding generations of US [...]

Grassroots Weight Training Program

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I have this theory, that one way to perhaps help develop our next generation of basketball players to become taller, bigger & faster, would be to implement a grassroots weight training program.
Am basing this on a couple of assumptions:
‘Genetic Optimization’
First assumption, is that weight training at an early age (say, starting from 3rd year High [...]

Purely Personal : Filipino Girl’s Cure Supports Cause For Sainthood (Phil. Daily Inq. Article)
Carl Sagan once said something like, “….. Extraordinary events, require extraordinary evidence …..”
This recent article got me into thinking, just in time for the Holy Week. Surely, it is a clear sign from God. A well-off family (you have to [...]

Smart 3G Traffic Cam Streaming

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Here’s one mainly neat, but doubfully very useful trick you can do w/ your 3G celphone: Viewing traffic intersection cameras.
First, this currently is available for FREE to Smart subscribers. Not sure if Globe is offering a similar service. Am using a post-paid plan, so not sure also if it works w/ pre-paid [...]

Head to Head: Vic Pablo vs. Noli Locsin

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

I remember watching these 2 players first come into prominence when they started playing for the National Youth teams. They were the main men then in those teams, but subsequently had somewhat disappointing PBA careers.
They both play the same position, mainly Power Forward. Noli is listed as 6′3″, but I think he was [...]
