  Outdoor Deck Hardware | Comments Off

  Using wood pallets, often free from stores and supermarkets. With some sanding and polishing, I think they just might work well as backyard deck building material.

  IT Certifications Hardware, Other, Security, Software | Comments Off

  They are important if I want to land a job in this tough economy, so it looks like I better get started with CCNA, Linux+, Security+, and MCSE.

  My Phone Hardware | Comments Off

  After a long departure from the real phones (I was using prepaid phone for the past 6 years), I have officially re-entered the market for month-to-month cellular services. To be honest, I miss the days where I only need to pay $10.86 USD for every 45 days, but considering current and future needs, changing to regular cell phone services is necessary. It is also a step forward toward the use of modern cell phones for me. I remember the days when I was in high schools, looking at all my friends getting holds of all sorts of cool cell phones, but my ...

  Electric Gardening Tools Hardware | Comments Off

  I like Neuton's line of products. Granted, I don't have a house yet, not to mention a lawn, but the in-laws got their lawn so I had the chance to get my hands dirty with some lawn / gardening tools. And being a techie, I also prefer electric over gasoline (Go hybrid / electric cars!) Anyway, Neuton got a line of gardening tools that are battery-powered, and from what I have read so far, they are equally good as the gasoline counterparts. So when I finally get a house, I just might go Neuton.

  nVidia CUDA Hardware, Software | Comments Off

  Use GPU to do calculation. BOINC now supports it, too bad my laptop graphics card is a 7 series, which doesn't support CUDA. It'll run much faster on my desktop where I have a 8800GTS. Will try.

  Carrier Exclusivity Hardware | Comments Off

  Cell phone carrier exclusivity is stupid. Sure, iPhone's exclusivity with ATT still got a lot of sales, but to be honest, I think Apple really clam down their potential sell that may also go very well with other carriers. In this case, they are basically throwing away those sales opportunities. But it's Apple, they like to have a lot of control over their products. And for me, I'll never switch carrier just because I like one of their cell phones a lot, not even if it's a super awesome phone.

  To L, or Not To L Hardware | Comments Off

  That, is the question. Luckily, I think I have it pretty much answered. For non DSLR photographers, L lenses from Canon are considered to be the top-of-the-line, professional level lenses. They are generally better built and have better optic in comparison to consumer level lenses, and as you can imagine, L lenses generally come with  hefty price tags. I was eyeing two of the L lenses, 24-70mm F2.8L USM and the 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM. The combination of these two be sufficient to cover a wide array of shots, and at the same time deliver superb quality. The problem is, to purchase both ...

  Speak Of The Devil Hardware | Comments Off

  Just days after talking about the importance of storage backup, one of my hard drive went clicking. Luckily, the data is still saved after putting the drive in an external enclosure, so supposedly it hasn't gone totally south. Nevertheless, time to run some tests...
