Google Map Terrains
I love landscapes so I like the new Google map view, terrain, which highlights physical features of landforms like mountains, valleys and even the vegetation. Using this view, you can appreciate the elevation of the mountains and highlands even more. Looking at the Central Luzon area gives you more idea how flat it is. I [...]
E-book Reader Face-off
Gizmodo compares Amazon Kindle vs. Sony Reader. They have many differences and I don’t think none of them is the perfect e-book reader, for now. If I pattern this to my trend in buying gadgets, I won’t purchase any of these until a 2nd-generation model comes up or it has become terribly cheap. I like [...]

Fight Science
Since we only had cable TV in less than 1 year it’s understandable that I have not seen this documentary in 2006. It’s National Geographic: Fight Science. It’s great that Nat Geo played a replay of this documentary. What interested me is not how they compared the martial arts. In fact, the documentary hardly compared [...]
