Kjell needs a bigger place

Yes that right. Kjell my red eared slider turtle I got from my brother needs a bigger place and I got just the thing for him. A custom made 581 gallons aquarium made of plywood and fibreglass. I got inspired by reading this tutorial by Jon Olav here.

Farmville, hmmm

A few days ago I started playing Farmville on partially request by some friends at work. The game is cool, but its getting to a point now where I start to think its to much mouse clicking. I might put some more time into playing another game called Runaway;  The dream of the turtle which is great :)

Cities XL

I just started playing a demo of Cities XL after discovering this game on the Steampowered site. A really cool game if your a fan of Sim City. This one is very similar to Sim City in my opinion and the best part is that you can play online with other players and trade with them. I will try the demo for a few days more before I order the full version

Volvo FH 2008

Abnormally long delivery times have caused Volvo to release details of its new generation FH and FH16, almost a year prior to their launch. To give potential buyers some idea of what they will be getting for their money, Volvo has released some vague details and a handful of teaser images.

I will provide a few pictures here

Hosting videos on your site

fliqz.jpg

I was registering at Fliqz.com the other day, a video hosting service. Its actually pretty sweet cause they host your video files up to 300MB and the basic account is free. I signed up and after a short registration process I was ready to host videos on my site. First I went through a few steps to customize my video player with its own startup wallpaper and logo, I could also include a watermark on the movie and a ending screen with logo. The watermark is clickable so you can link it to your site. There are also other plans if you want to pay that gives you even more customization options. You can check out the site at www.fliqz.com and my own videoplayer for Librarium Online.

Fucking, Austria

1192538129597_200.jpg

About 40km north of Salezburg you will find a little Austrian town called Fucking. The city with zipcode 5121 has around 100 citizens and lies close to the German border.

The village is known to have existed as “Fucking” since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. In 2004, due to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name, a vote was held on changing the village’s name, but the residents voted against doing so.

Drink with chill factor

thumb_model_962_aag.jpgDrinks giant Coca-Cola has invented a bottle that chills on the inside when the top is twisted off.
Insiders have hinted that the technology will feature in a new drink called Sprite Super Chilled, which could reach the UK by next year.
The bottles do away with the need to add ice, which dilutes the liquid – but they must be put in a special vending machine to regulate temperature.

Bosses at the US firm hope to cash in on the “super chilled” drinks trend.
Coke and Diet Coke could be packaged in the new bottles if they prove to be successful.

You remember R2D2 from Star Wars showing of his Holgraphic projector. Now this is possible.

Shown at SIGGRAPH 2007, the Interactive 360 Degree Light Field Display won the Best Emerging Technology Award. Designed by USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies, the system is capable of producing interactive 3D graphics to multiple viewers in 360 degrees.

The display consists of a high-speed video projector, a spinning mirror covered by a holographic diffuser, and FPGA circuitry to decode specially rendered DVI video signals. The display uses a standard programmable graphics card to render over 5,000 images per second of interactive 3D graphics, projecting 360-degree views with 1.25 degree separation up to 20 updates per second.

untitled_35.png

About a week ago the iPhone was released in the US. The phone is attached to the phone company AT&T and cannot be used by customers outside US. This fall the iPhone will be released in Europe, but which operators will get the exclusive rights for this phone in Europe is unknown.

According to Reuters, the company O2 will have a deal with Apple on the british market. A german newspaper wrote earlier this week that their company T-Mobile gets the deal in Germany. It looks like Apple is choosing one operator in each country.

In Norway, Telenor is now in dialog with Apple about getting the exsclusive rights.
