Airsoft Revisited
Written by admin on March 23, 2009 – 3:23 pm -Its been over a year now that I’ve been regularly playing airsoft in Korea. And we’re slowly growing in numbers. We started off with 6 players and we’re now up to 14 regular players from different countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Philippines and United States). It’s no surprise that the Filipinos outnumber all other nationalities in our team since airsoft is a very popular sport in the Philippines.
Here are a few pics from our recent game.
We now have five regular Filipino players, if you live in Seoul and are interested in giving this sport a try don’t hesitate to send me a message, we have loaner guns and eye protection available for you, all you have to do is attend. If you haven’t tried it before there’s nothing to worry about, we take safety very seriously and we’re an easy going group, nothing too hardcore.
To get an idea of what goes on in a typical game take a look at the video.

Facebook’s server farm
Written by admin on March 5, 2009 – 11:29 am -
A lot of my long lost friends have found me through Facebook. I’ve never been a huge fan of social networking sites like Friendster, MySpace or Multiply simply because I always thought of them to be something that only my kids would be interested in. Facebook has somehow gotten my attention because it allows you to have multiple levels of privacy and chose what information is made public. I mainly used it to keep track of all my contacts both work and personal.
I have connected to over 300 friends from my old work buddies to long lost elementary classmates and it made me wonder what kind of hardware is behind a Facebook. I googled and found this photo which is probably just a small portion of the Facebook server farm. Can’t imagine everyone’s info just sitting in one of those computers.

Mac Mini Update
Written by admin on March 4, 2009 – 1:52 pm -Its been a while since Apple has updated its entry level Mac called the Mac Mini. The update sees a faster processor, faster graphics chip and a larger capacity hard drive.
Macs are often characterized as a computer that most people want but are put off by its cost. Consumers usually make the mistake of comparing a Mac with a generic PC which of course is cheaper even by PC standards, even worse they usually compare a low or mid range desktop or laptop with a high end Mac such as the Power Mac (desktop) or Macbook Pro (laptop).
Back to Mac Mini, it is the cheapest Mac and is often overlooked by the consumer. The cheapest model costs KWN 950,000 (USD 615) and sports a 2Ghz Intel Dual Core, 1 GB DDR RAM, 120GB HD, and a DVD drive. The Mac mini does not include a keyboard, mouse or display since its target market are PC users who are assumed to have those devices already.
Also the Mac Mini is capable of running Windows XP or Vista via Bootcamp or Parallels which basically gives you two computers for the price of one. If you’re not a power user and mainly need a computer for everyday surfing, watching videos and daily computing, I would put my money on it.
** Also updated were the iMac and Power Mac models.

Toasty mitts
Written by admin on October 28, 2008 – 4:16 pm -Autumn just kicked into high gear and temps are starting to drop and if you’re anything like me, I hate it when my hands get really cold. Most of us buy a hot beverage just to hold or simply stick our hands in our coat pockets. The only problem is that the first solution isn’t really feasible if you are engaged in an outdoor activity.
Well I’ve got a solution.. nothing new but I did spot one of these air activated hand warmers at Costco. How it works is that you open the packet and a little sack that seems to have a coffee like powder inside reacts to the air and starts to heat up. It stays warm for about 8 hours and is cheap enough to be used everyday. A box of 20 handwarmers cost KWN 5,000.
Thats cheap enough to keep those mitts warm all through out the winter season.
