Using a DIY ring flash that I made a couple months ago, I was able to capture this flower at my backyard garden, it was around 9PM with very little evening light. I’ve put up the photo on my photoblogs page for more EXIF details. Also I’ve made this into 1920×1200 resolution wallpaper size. Enjoys…

I was trying to play Aion last weekend and couldn’t get a FREE beta key code. Oh well, there is a way you can get a beta key code by pre-order at your local game store or online store. Right now, GameStop and EBGames are taking Aion pre-orders, it comes with bonuses:
So if you are a gameaholic like me, go ahead, head to the store and get the key code. Right now, I am installing and downloading the Aion client (5371.7 MB in total).
Have you ever tried to play sound in both of your USB headset and speakers? You will have a hard time to figure out how to do it. The problem is that most of the time windows audio driver won’t let you do that. You either can set your speakers or USB headset as your default audio device one at the time but not both simultaneously. Here, I will tell you the solution how to make your USB (wireless) headset and speakers to produce sound at the same time. This solution uses a software called Virtual Audio Cable which is not free but you can still download the trial software. With a little luck you can find full version on rapidshare.
Here’s a snapshot of my devices setup with the use of Virtual Audio Cable software to produce sound on both of my USB wireless headset and normal speakers at the same time. OS is Windows 7 x64 RC as you can see watermark at the bottom right corner.
Today, my new flashlight NiteCore EZ AA just arrived to my door. I couldn’t wait to “show off” a little bit my flashlight collection. They are:
In this collection, I think I like the P3D is the brightest torch and the most EDC torch is LD01. I think I’m a flashaholic at the moment but it can’t stop me yet.

Apple just announced the new iPhone 3G “S“ will be released on June 19. It’s going to be crazy again with all the iPhone fans! For me, I guess I have to wait for Rogers Wireless (Canada) to get my hands on it. So, this new iPhone 3GS will have these new features compared to iPhone 3G:

Parachute cord (paracord) is one of my favorite cord to play with when I was little kid, although at that time I only could tie a round sinnet. I got into Stormdrane’s Blogs and I was impressed with his tying. So I went out and bought about 150 feet 550 type 3 paracord yesterday at Beavers Army Surplus local store. I couldn’t wait to learn some of these new knots and braids, I learned diamond knot and a solomon bar as my entry level.
I’m used to be a the long term Lineage 2 player back then, NCsoft has announced a new MMORPG game is Aion. It’s in closed beta stage and I’ve missed MMORPG.com 5000 beta key giveaway event. Damn it… If you got a spare key and not using it, please send to me. Oh well, you can preorder it on June 9 at your game store. As usual, it’s gonna be $14.99/month subscription to play though. NCsoft games always paid games to play, but they make very good games I suppose.
Everyone is saying the Scout Assassin is like fun and strong to play with, let’s see who is right about it. I’d like the Mage race, not sure I’ll able to play it yet.

My new tiny flashlight is a stainless steel Fenix LD01 limited edition. This flashlight is really compact and nice in my pocket EDC keychain. After few weeks lurking around at CPF (Candle Power Forums) and I’ve found some great ideas you could do with this little torch.
With a single rare-earth (neodymium) circular magnet, I could make the flashlight stick to any metal surface. I’m positive the magnet will NOT damage your flashlight. Items used:
Little flashlight and neodymium circular magnet (1/4″ diameter x 1/10″ thick).
Close-up shoot at the tail light.
The “Celing stand” flashlight is hanging onto my kitchen fan.
Horizontal stand on the wall hanger.
Enjoys.
As you know, living in North America, everyday you go outside, at least you would have something to carry on in your pockets or bag or in your purse for the ladies to survive in this lifestyle. Well, what else is important? Cash it is… Nothing else to say.
I like the idea of EDC key chain, it’s compact and easy to carry around. So, what do I have in my EDC key chain?
Wondering how to organize all your battery charger in one nice place like a box or a carton? There are plenty of ways how to make yourself one with little cost. Here is one of my DIY charger box. Here is what I use:
Basically, I hid an outlet power bar inside the box and drilled all the necessary holes for the wires going through. I’ve found some good videos out there with instructions how to do it yourself.
I’ve been with Rogers internet since like “forever”. Yesterday, I got a notice from them that they will increase my download speed up to 10Mbps. My previous speed was around 800Kbps, with this new speed I could download a DVD movie in less than 2 hours from a newsgroup which is awesome time. Couldn’t be any happier huh?
