Car Evolution

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

Now I am a BIG fan of cars. Ever since I was a young boy, I was buying auto-magazines, checking out new cars and I was generally fascinated by the way cars look, sound and feel. The whole concept, however, might get turned upside down if the plans of some auto-makers come true.

In the picture above GM’s EN-V is presented, a two-seater electric car. The company went public with the idea somewhere in the spring of last year (if I am not wrong). Today as I logged into YM, a news-article with the following video in it caught my eye:

They are actually driveable! This means that in a few years tops we will have to start re-educating driving instructors and start re-writing the rules.

Now I know the whole concept is something very different than what people think of when thinking of cars, but I kind of like the idea. Just think about the space people can save up in parking lots, the places they can access and just look at that cool turn radius: it practically turns around itself. Yes, yes it kills out the original idea of the car, the car as we know it will disapear… or will it? 🙂

Cleanup

Sunday, December 19th, 2010

On one of those days when you simply do not know what to do, here’s an idea: clean up the disgusting mess from underneath your laptop keyboard.

There are actually several reasons to do this:
– The keyboard will be clean
– It will keep you occupied for a while (it took me 2 hours)
– It will be less likely that you will have the heart to eat at your laptop again

So, how does one clean the laptop keyboard? Simple, follow these steps:

1. Get something thin with which you can gently pop out ALL your keys. Click off your keys from the joint, and arrange them in the exact same position they were on the laptop (it’s fun and it will keep you from pushing every key till you find the spot, when you will need to put it back).

2. Next carefully take off the joints themselves. These can be tiny and fragile pieces so be gentle with them. Take your time, study the mechanism. In my case some of them are really, really tiny.

3. Clean off the area underneath the keyboard. Use some kind of alcohol to do this and under no circumstances water (duuuh). It can also help if you have a brush of some sort to do this (I used toothbrush that I bought especially for this job 😉 ).

4. When everything seems clean, move on to the keys themselves: a little alcohol, a little brushing, a little polishing and you’re done with one key. Now, do it about 100 times more 😛 .

5. If you are done with all keys (or if you got really bored, whichever comes first) put all the keys back to their position. Hopefully you kept my advice from the first step and did not just pile them up. If not, then you will have lot’s of fun finding the right spot 😀 .

6. Enjoy the shine of your freshly cleaned laptop 😉

Addictive

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Have you ever found yourself in the situation in which you’ve just been clicking around on YouTube, watching a bunch of “related videos”? (Nothing serious just pure procrastination watching short, funny videos). If yes, then you might like this ;).

I have recently come across this vlog, presenting a bunch of funny videos which are circling around on the internet. The series is called “Equals Three” (or simply “=3”) and is presented by a guy called Ray William Johnson. Quite funny 🙂 , it actually kept me up one night until 4:00AM as I was watching episode after episode of these videos.
