Slightly bogged down with other stuff lately and Streamyx Narrowband service is certainly not helping with productivity, hence the lack of updates.
I did manage to update my seemingly ignored photoblog over at benjaminlai.org, changing from the nicely crafted delicious theme to the more restrictive but more visually appealing dark matter theme. Since most of those recent photos I’ve shot were personal, I dug up older images tucked away in storage disks and used Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to fiddle around with the photos. Lightroom is actually pretty neat but think Photoshop still provides better flexibility and in a lot of areas.
Took apart my laptop yesterday to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4GB, but due to 32-bit software restrictions that leaves me with only about 3581MB of usable RAM. This desktop I’m using now just cannot cope with the strain I put on it anymore. It kinda ‘blacked out’ last night before I could save a 6 hi-res photomerge and all the time I put into it just went to waste. Sad…
Will Smith’s cock is above average, literally, see?
Will Smith’s latest movie Hancock just received an unexpected publicity boost in London when the person in charge of removing the letters from the billboard left to wank off to a picture of his favorite actor. That may not true but I doubt the blunder was all purely coincidental. (via TheLondonPaper)
I must add, ‘cock’ doesn’t always fare well in marketing practices. Especially like this.
What’s so interesting about the image above, you wonder? It’s actually pretty darn obvious. Here’s a hint: Where’s this person accessing the site from?
Here’s a little treat for the boys and girls who like girls.
Hydration vessel, that’s what they call water containers now? That’s hot! I mean, that’s sophisticated! Using environmental issues as a marketing scheme, these 750ml water vessels will become available from August 1, 2008 at a price of $29.95. It would’ve been easier to just round it up to $30.00 but who am I to tell their marketing team what to do. I am too lazy to read about it in-depth but if you aren’t like me, check out its website at korwater.com. The company’s mission is to… redesign water… All that aside, this is one swanky looking liquid entrapment contraption I would like to have.
Sometime in February I wrote about my extremely brief encounter with a crazy guy on a bike. Yesterday, I received a comment from crazy guy Joff Summerfield’s mom, Maggie, telling me that her son is now in the United States of America, which was his destination after disembarking from Malaysia. By the way she sounds to me, Maggie surely misses her son a lot. Any good mom would worry for her child no matter what their age.

Joff’s time in Malaysia is recorded in his journal which displays amazing photographs captured by him. It starts at page 67 when he arrives from Thailand and ends at page 69. Each page has 2 parts, which adds up to 6 pages of words and pictures in total. So don’t miss out on any pages like I did before.
While Joff has been paddling crazily across countries, I haven’t left Malaysia since last October and my passport expired this April. I suppose I will restrict all traveling to within the country for now.
Update: Videos!
A couple in Missouri encountered Joff and took a videos of him.
This one’s a classic.
“How far you goin’?”
“Uh… Around the world.”
“Wow!”
The couple caught up with Joff and did a little interview with him.
