If you have not seen BumpTop, you should really check it out. It is an interactive 3D environment, an alternative for your current 2D desktop on your PC. The new version has multitouch gesture support in Windows 7. Isn’t that much nicer than a 2D desktop?
You can download a free copy or get the Pro for only US$29.
Visit BumpTop.com for more information. For Mac and Linux users, you will have to wait.

Have been using the Arras theme by Melvin Lee since I started this blog.
The reason I picked it in the first place was because of the rotating image at the top of the home page. It is an attractive feature. Also it has the different style of displaying the blog postings that made it a nice choice for anyone who likes some flexibility in their layout. The theme is very configurable and easy to work with.
However after using it for a while, I feel that it is quite difficult to find my blog postings. So that’s why I am trying this new theme, Elegant Grunge by Michael Tyson, and see how it feels. I know that this is a heavier theme and that I am loading it with more photos on each page. Hope it is bearable for you all. Please leave me comments of how you like this theme and if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for visiting :)

But with Windows Vista being a bit of a disappointment and Windows XP was getting to be a bit outdated, late last year I found some courage to switch over to the Apple platform.

This is a cool iPhone app to help passengers find the nearest subway station in New York. It combines the use of compass, GPS, gyration sensor and camera. Nice and simple user interface design that resembles the virtual screens seen in Ghost in the Shell.
Now all we need is a version for Tokyo :)

Recently discovered a very cool browser plug-in for visualizing photos and videos arranged in an infinite wall of photos and videos that you can scroll left or right and when you slow down, the item in the middle of your view will be expanded to fit bigger in relation to the rest of the photos on the wall. You can also run this plug-in in full screen mode which makes it look like your wall of photos is your desktop. Sources of photos can come from your local hard drive, Flickr, Google, Yahoo! Images, Picasa, DeviantArt, Hulu, YouTube, Blinkx, Shopping and Channels. What’s more, there is even an iPhone version!
