Father and Son...A story...
One day, a son asks his dad "Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?". The father says "yes".
And they run their first marathon together.
One day, the son asks his father " Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?"
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running?)
And the dad says "yes".
The story looks simple until you watch the following clip. Just amazing, how much can love be....?
I almost cried watching this...You can feel the amount of love and passion his dad have in the sport and most importantly...his son.

Minolta 50mm ROKKOR-X 1:1.4 macro
I've got my new lens today. After spending months of reading and research, I settled with this. Its a Minolta MD ROKKOR-X 50mm 1:1.4 MF only. Before you guys ask any questions about compatibility, I gotta say that this lens ROCKS!!! I got it off eBay for GBP40 shipped from the States. Since its f number is so small...the amount of light it took in is phenomenal. Its a lot heavier than my bog standard 18-55mm Nikon ED lens. Its full metal-built lens feels very solid and tough. I haven't exactly got it to fit on my D60 yet but i took it for a test in 'another' way. I'm still waiting for my adapter though to perfectly fit on my D60.
Since Minolta had experience in making lens that rival Nikon or Canon, I think its a no-brainer to buy this one especially with an 1:1.4 standard. A Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4 would set you back for about GBP220 for the AF version and about GBP330 for the AF-S version. Of course, in photography, what you for is what you get. But the Minolta defies that theory, partly because it quite old and it doesn't have any AF or AF-S function but I gotta hand it to ‘em, these are nice colours. But some pics are blurry due to the stupid freakishly strong wind which UK is always 'feymes' for...sigh...I used an extremly high shutter speed (1/800) to catch it. Enough said, look at the 'another way' pictures. I'll post a real picture test after i got my adapter.
The method used to take most of these pics is the reverse-mount method. How do you reverse-mount? Ideally, you need to have two lens of any type. Mount one in the way how you normally mount a lens and the other attached to it in reverse. Try to look it up on google. These pics are still noob-ish so I need more work…hehe…
So what do you think?All these are taken with this lens too...

AirAsia X KL-London
jaunted.com and guardian.co.uk
jaunted.com has a video of an empty plane which gives a good overview of how's its like on the inside which worries everybody.
'So did it feel like a budget flight? No. There was none of that cloying claustrophobia that can leave you gasping for air on a bad short-haul. Even after 13 hours in a relatively crowded part of the plane, I felt pretty relaxed.'
'The legroom is not just OK, it feels rather generous.'
guardian.co.uk
'we were told that there was no in-flight entertainment because the batteries had not been charged before the flight.'
'it’s probably the best plane food we have ever had.'

Man Utd vs FC Porto
Splitview
'The Splitview display offers up one view to the driver (like a map), while the passenger sees a completely different image (like a movie, or a picture of somebody looking at a map).'
quoted from engadget.com
Here a video (around 1.20 minutes) to show it working with views of the S-class itself...
Cool eh??

iskp that isht
That's exactly what the handy Firefox plugin is designed to do. Once installed, Skipscreen will bypass those annoying intermediate pages you encounter when trying to download files from a site like Mediafire, RapidShare, zShare, or Megaupload. Other sites currently supported include DespoitFiles, Divshare, and LinkBucks, and more are on the way.
As stated on the SkipScreen site, the plugin has "extra dreamy" features for Mediafire (and three others). Click a link to a file hosted on one of those sites, and SkipScreen will take care of things on its own - all you have to click on is the save file dialog box once it appears.

did i tell you it was an April Fool prank??? i didn't??? but i was sure...maybe not ;p
Important Notice!!!
After weeks of careful consideration, I am very happy to announce that I would be moving permanently to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil right after my graduation to further pursue my career in April.
I am sure most of you would think that only fools think that way but I am firm with this decision of mine and will not regret. Thank you for everybody who have read and supported my blog ever since it was started last year. I will still (of course) continue writing this blog for years to come. Thank you again.
Yours Sincerely,
Oscar
