Caucasion Tots on Channel U

Caucasion tots on Channel U? On one of those Hong Kong / Taiwan variety shows.

Anyway, the kid sings a catchy tune:

1 elephant went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day
He had such enormous fun
He called another elephant to come

2 elephants went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day
They had such enormous fun
They called another elephant to come

Rice, Rice, Baby

Got tired of carrying her around at the supermarket yesterday, so I put her down and took a pic.

Geolocation

Playing around with Google Gears Geolocation API... and well, it's not rocking in Singapore.

I suppose to have a high degree of accuracy, they'll need to have the coordinates of every public Wi-Fi to triangulate from.

Which brings another question.. how to identify a unique Wi-Fi router? Via a MAC address? That's an intensive task by itself.

I foresee... Router manufaturers rolling out firmware to place lat/long information for the routers to broadcast (along with their name, ID, etc...)

Hmmm....

Geolocation is the future. And here's my lat/long: 1.327797,103.859749

I wonder what they'll call the vertical coordinate. The z-axis. Azimuth? My router's placed approximately 18 metres above ground. I should calculate how much that is in local sea level.


Wait. Didn't I study this already?

First Haircut

I missed Sarah's first "official" haircut.

The Mrs and my MIL had a day out today and somehow they managed to get Sarah into a chair to have her hair cut.

Honestly speaking, I didn't notice at first. She did seem tidier but I thought it was the trick of the wind.

My first reaction was, "What?! Why?! Her hair was so nice and long!"
Then came, "Did you manage to take a video?"

Alas, the answer came back negative.

Oh well. Better luck next time.

Blueberry Cheesecake v 2.0

Haha! I'm trying my hand at making blueberry cheesecake again! Why? The Mrs has been feeling down the past week. Exhaustion at the hands of baby Sarah, no doubt.

Same ingredients, but less thought went into it. Not enough sugar went into the mix, and well, the biscuit crumb base was totally ill-conceived.

However, I did manage to control the Mrs' intake.

Instead of making 1 big tub of cheesecake, I made 6 little serving-sized bowls. Ought to last a week at least.

The Busyness

Been a tad too busy to blog recently and now I got to resort to this.

Moblogging.

TGIF.

Hope I manage to stay offline all weekend.

Macross on NES

Remember this?

Started humming the "theme song" for the game today for no apparent rhyme or reason. Decided sometime during the day that it would make a kick-ass ringtone.

Also as a way to detect fellow fans / die hard nerds on your public transport route.

Sure, tons of people have the Super Mario Bros ringtone... Or maybe even The Legend Of Zelda. But Macross? No way...

Fired up the ROM on my NES emulator, recorded it (along with some Zentraedi missile fire and an explosion). After getting into the battleship, couldn't resist mechamorphing into Battloid Mode and shot the self-defending Protoculture matrix to smithereens.

No idea what I'm talking about? Read Jack McKinney's Robotech. ;)

If you're interested in the ringtone, drop me a line and I'll email it to you... Just a bit over 1 MB...
