A new WiMAX lifestyle
WiMAX, sounds like something that’s wide and maximum? Truth be told, I only heard of this term today, and it really stands for something long and challenging to remember, that is, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It’s based on the IEEE 802.16 Air Interface Standard, compared to 802.11 currently used for WIFI. WiMax delivers a point-to-multipoint architecture, making it an ideal method for carriers to deliver broadband to locations where wired connections would be difficult or costly. Now, WiMAX is really a new technology for using broadband internet, and it’s wireless, fast, and doesn’t take a long time to set up. In my office now, we’re still using wired broadband,…

Crossing crossing
I’m so happy today because my first postcrossing postcard arrived in Finland having reached its destination in 14 days after traveling 9,068kms! I received an email from Vilzy after she registered the card on Postcrossing.com Vilzy wrote you a message: ————— Hey ! : )) Thanks for the nice card ! Greetings from Finland.

It’s Free, It’s Fun, It’s Full of Surprises
I recently joined Postcrossing to exchange postcards from around the world. It’s a great thing postcards from Malaysia to anywhere in the world is priced at a standard RM0.50. That’s really cheap compared to many other countries. Well, so far I’ve sent out 3 postcards, to Finland, Czech Republic, and USA, I guess my cards are having a good time travelling to where I’ve never been myself! Anyways, this made me remember Bookcrossing.com. I joined bookcrossing back in 2004. At that time, I received a free book to start off, but I never really register or release any books. Maybe because I really didn’t have many books around. Well, today…

Free glamorous studio portrait
Ok there’s no such thing as ‘free’ studio photography, or getting into a studio for a portrait for free, but you certainly can create your own at home. Professionally done studio portraits can be quite complicated, and requires lots of touch ups in Photoshop, but I’m not interested in that, I’m interested to doing something really simple that anyone can do in a matter of minutes. Sometimes, we just like to create some fun glamorous portraits, well, for online profiles or whatever portfolio you may have. What you need: Digital camera for a digital photo, great lighting (the sun), nice smile and a PC with Photoshop running Great, first start,…
