No collective effort is put together for this thousand years old idea

I read in the news today a group of indigenous Indians gather and try to save the earth. I am very much intrigue by their lifestyle, which I research for sometime now but yet to find a blog written by them. Their effort will have little effect to our world’s long standing self-centered politician.

One interesting snips from the news, one of the leaders from among 71 tribes, Sensmeier says,

“Those Scientist compartmentalizes things, put things in boxes and disconnect them, by doing so promotes disharmony and imbalance.”

They gather to re-educate us some ancient ethic which animal obeyed for millennium. Ownership, use, compensation and respect.

Manga: God’s droplet

Manga has gain more notice in Singapore. From one of my previous post graphic novel as main stream pop-culture, I observed how they gradually gain popularity in recent years.

I am also intrigue by what story a comic book can now tell. This manga - 神之水滴, which has nothing to do with God but tells story about wine, inside, you will learn how to taste wine and tell their different. Wine lover should read them.

Let say Manga is only for the infantile, then this artist has waste all his precious time for research, he would be broke, this comic will be worthless.

Baidu plus Google equal BaiGoogledu


Although the name itself is hilarious, the search engine may worth a look. Why is there a need to do this? Those who use both searches know. Google and Baidu yield vast different result with a same keyword, hence the hybrid. (Link)

So you can tell people, I don’t use Google, I don’t use Baidu. I use BaiGoogledu.

Other than this obviously ‘everyone is sinful’ list, Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, Vatican second man also says that less and less people go to confession. I say less confession mean less human sinned, which is a good sign. (Link) to all news

Good wife, good husband


Wikipedia has this article – Good Wife Guide, which rumor to have published in 1951 Housekeeping Monthly. The article has some truth that will never change no matter how human has evolved. Extracted are some simple tasks you can do,

“Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.”

“Don't greet him with complaints or problems.”

“Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.”

“A good wife always knows her place.”

Somehow, I can change all ‘him’ to ‘her’ and vice verses, to make it into a Good Husband Guide. You know, if your wife is not doing at least one task for you, then the problem must have lies within you.

I will have endless night thinking about Sins

Charles M. Schulz said, “Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night.”

By the look of this gorgeous screen shot, I may not be able to withstand the temptation. This is pure sin, I tell you.

Sins of a Solar Empire is out. Tell me this is not worth it if you are playing.

Sublimal E-Tatcile wand

Is it me or just me? This gadget for the blind looks wrongs, sounds wrong, and it is hold like man holds theirs. What makes it worst? It vibrates when an object is near. So incorrectly designed, it is. (Link)

Top most read articles of Wikipedia


Henrik, who is one of Wiki administrators, launches Wikipedia article traffic statistics. It is already quite a view although still in beta version. The top ten of most read articles once again tell me how chaotic Internet is.

Valentine’s Day at position 6 shows netizens is looking for love, but what is “Canine reproduction” doing in number 11? Edison Chen photo scandal in 21, with more than 2 dozen sites link to it, Internet rejoices.

M18 pornography from China

This photo is extracted from Deennn's funny picture blog. There are more there. I google around but find no news about it. Maybe they are parts of Ang Lee’s movie. Whatever they are, Singapore will rate it NC16 with this part censored.

Block this! China Great Firewall.
