Wow… that’s the International Space Station and the Shuttle with the Sun in the back! 
Logitech Wireless Headphones for PC Review
So after all the wire mess, I found a real good deal ($20) for a Logitech Wireless Headphone in nearly new condition! 
I couldn’t pass it up… so I got it… and did a review being the geek that I am…
I’m gonna have to get me the ones that you can just plug in the adapter to the mp3 player ’cause that would be real handy! 
Fold for a cure please!!
As some of you know, I’ve lost a lot of relatives and friend to cancer… my grandfather to lung cancer, my uncle to liver & lung cancer, my cousin to leukemia, my grandma to another cancer, my aunt to another cancer… Our beloved friend was lost to stomach cancer and over the weekend, I learned of more tragedies…
Soojin had already lost two uncles (on her mom’s side) to liver cancer and now the only remaining uncle just discovered he has liver cancer as well! 
Soojin’s worried that her mom will eventually also get it. So Soojin’s oldest aunt had died less than a year ago…
The list just goes on… I felt so helpless… ’cause I wanted to help in whatever I could… turns out I wasn’t too far… I discovered Folding @ Home, a distributed computing developed by Stanford professor. You basically allow Stanford to run protein folding simulations on your computer and pass on the info. If you own a computer, you can help in fighting the cancer! I leave both of my computers on 24/7! Even with increased fuel costs, it doesn’t cost that much to run them 24/7. If a PC uses 500 W, even in a day, that’s 12 kW-hr. At rates like even conservative 20 cents/kW-hr, that is only $2.40 a day, but likely about $1.80 a day (since current rate is about 15 cents/kW-hr and normal PC uses 300W or so).
I fold so that I don’t have to lose people. Do you? Please consider it!! I will even give out free tech support for it!!

BMW 330d – My idea of performance car with 40+ mpg!
I read on a BMW 330d recently…
What is typical with BMW is that it’s a very fine sports four door. 231 bhp with turbocharged 3 L V6, this baby runs on diesel!! So in addition to 0-60 mph in 6 seconds! All this while keeping up the freakin’ impressive 43.5 mpg!!
Wow… blow away your competition AND get to conserve fuel!! Very nice indeed… what’s even nicer is that it only costs about $2000 more than 330i.
Two Woes in (less than) Two Days!
Woe #1
NTB is da suck! 
My wife’s beloved Lincoln Continental has been worsening in the alignment arena. With Houston’s roads being one of the worst in the country, it’s no surprise, and as an “investment”, I got the 3-year-warranty version of NTB’s wheel alignment. I was with kids near church then (two weeks ago or so) and decided to pop in by the NTB at I-610 and Richmond. After nearly 2 hours of wait, it’s done.
However, on my drive home, I noticed it’s the same! So I got annoyed and told my wife to take it to NTB near our home (nearHwy 3 and on Bay Area Blvd). They say they found few more issues so after another freakin’ $124, they STILL couldn’t fix it and said that it’s likely a frame damage! 
My beloved regular mechanic, Ash (of Ash Automotive on Hwy 3 near Pineloch) has been very popular lately so it’s been very hard to get him to see our cars. Which is why I took it to NTB in the first place! I tell Ash the story. He’s very nice and knowledgeable Indian mechanic, by the way, and has never wronged me! I had to schedule around HIS schedule but no matter, as I was now desperate! After few hours, I asked him if it was frame or air suspension (Lincolns still use air suspension). Neither. He just redid the alignment and it was fixed! 
Why am I mad, you ask?! ‘Cause that meant that my $250+ I spent at the stupid national chain of NTB did squat! That’s why! Those people don’t know how to align wheels evidently! Now, I am going to have to try to get my money back on their worthless service!!
Woe #2
It started again last night as my data HDD started to act up. It made my CS:S sessions near to crawl! I left it defragging the HDD last night only to wake up to frozne computer! So I restart and noticed the same SATA HDD acting up and freezing again! So I started to back up all the data (incl. the unedited movies of Pathways New Orleans mission trip!!). After hours of backing up data, I turned the computer off, disconnected the problematic drive and turned it back on but now video is acting up! 
Oh, I am mad! This is not a good week thus far!!
End Result
So what do we learn? NTB is da suck! And HDD is da suck!!
Moderating the Mob Online
I have been rather busy lately with online responsibilities…
You see, starting with Sharkyforums.com, I have become a moderator for 3 sites.
Sharkyforums.com
the Gamer Planet (tGP)
Coolest Gadets
The first one, my first “love”, is a computer-orieted forum site. I’ve learned and helped loads of people via that site. tGP is a site I found as I began playing Counter-Strike: Source. Good team-oriented action brought me back again and again… and then they just asked me to be one of the 7 core members to help guide in the direction of the site! 😮 And then I stumbled across the Coolest Gadgets via Gizmodo, the gadget blog.
It’s been quite an experience becoming a moderator and all on these tech forums and sites. But it’s also quite an experience… the biggest problem with big sites like Sharkyforums.com is that it also attracts tons of spam! 😡 In the end, it’s very exciting in this world of geekiness… Hee…
