USB Hard Drives

I never thought the external hard drive could be so convenient. As the hard drive on my laptop is almost reaching its limit with all the high resolution pictures and video clips from my DSLR, external hard drive is the solution. The storage space of the external hard drives nowadays is incredible, and not to mention they are very affordable too.

Medicare

I guess almost everyone in the United States is familiar with Medicare, a federal health insurance program that covers most people age 65 and older. I have saw television commercials advertising Medicare Part A and Part B plans, which help cover hospital and medical expenses, and C, which is a combination of A and B. Did not even know, until now, there is Medicare part D plans, which helps cover prescription drugs. Complicated.

iPhone 4 Accessories

One of my cousins thought he lost his cellular phone couple weeks ago when we were visiting The Happiest Place on Earth. We joked about it and we all thought it was meant to be and he should be getting a new phone anyways. He ended up getting an iPhone, and I am sure he will be shopping for iphone 4 accessories pretty soon. If I had an iPhone, the first accessory I would get is the bling bling case.

Online Schools

Going to school, for adults, has never been more easier and convenient. Many colleges and universities offer online classes and lectures for those of us who may not be able to attend classes in person for whatever reasons. The concept of online school is a bit interesting, but when we can attend traffic school online, why can’t we take online classes for other purposes? The question is, how to choose from a list Accredited Online Schools?

Vacation Package

Summer is over!

This summer vacation was not a well planned one. All activities were last minutes decision. We signed up the swimming lessons at the community center for the kids just two weeks before the first session began. We were lucky to be able to take classes for two consecutive sessions.

Visit to the “Happiest Place on Earth” was also last minute. Booked hotel and planned the weekend trip just days before our long weekend trip.

I know a well planned trip is key. Maybe we should look into Branson vacation packages for our future vacation planning.

Water Labor?

What is hydroponic systems? If you break it down, hydro means water, pono means labor. Water labor? It is actually a method to grow plants, by using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. I do not plant, and I have never planted. Part of the reason why is that I dislike soil. This is an interesting concept, but probably not suitable for every type of plants, but it seems to be a perfect match for people like me who does not like soil. Interesting.

Sucess. At Last?

The oil spill in the gulf has been going on for almost three months now. After trying many different types of clamps and caps, different oil absorbing methods, it seems that the new cap they just put on would reduce or stop the leakage for now, temporary, until a plug is to be set underground. Let us just wait two days, and see how that goes.

Self-Control

wagwai — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:21:35 +0000

It has been so hot the past weekend that Ashlyn and Alex kept on getting popsicle from the freezer, one after another. As for myself, it was so hot that I finished a one pint ice-cream in three nights. I needed to control myself, otherwise, I would have to hit one of those elliptical machines pretty soon. Maybe that is why I prefer to have ice-cream in Winter time, rather than Summer time. Less quilt maybe?
