Starwars Holographic 3DTelecommunication become a reality through Cisco TelePresence



15 September, 2008 (11:29) | SF Bay Area [local], design | By: editor

When I first saw starwars I remembered asking my friends if that holographic 3D telecommunication is of a current technology that only available for certain important group of people. Well as a matter of fact it was not anywhere available during that time (I am talking about during the time Natalie Portman was the actress for Starwars, since Starwars has some versions)

Well anyhow I thought it’d be cool to have that kind of technology available. Well, now that technology is made available through cisco and musion.

Here’re some snapshots of throwing a ball from a holographic person to the other holographic person, taken from the musion’s website:

here’s a quote about the TelePresence form Cisco and Musion (for live video please see it here):

The ‘Cisco On-Stage TelePresence Experience’ was an ambitious collaboration between Cisco and Musion Systems, which took place during the opening of Cisco’s Globalization Centre East in Bangalore, India.
Musion seamlessly integrated their 3D holographic display technology with Cisco’s TelePresence’s system to create the world’s first real time virtual presentation.

Paradise on Earth, Jiu Zhai Gou (The Nine Valleys), Sichuan Province, China



9 September, 2008 (18:36) | travel & leisure | By: editor

If you do like scenic travel and a little bit of a hiking fan then JIUZHAIGUO VALLEY (Nine Valley / Nine Villages / Valley of Nine Villages) might be a must visit place for you.

Jui Zhai Guo, located in Sichuan is now listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site. It is so very beautiful, like a paradise exist on this earth. The scenery will varies depending upon which season of your visit. During Spring you might seen tremendous spread of greenery and some colors from blooming flowers. In summer the tranquil lakes and azure mountains. Autum, which in my opinion would be the best season to visit, will give you a vast of beauty with golden, green and red colored trees spread across the mountain and above the crystal clear lake. and in Winter you will see the white glacial, snow covered mountain and a clear somewhat frozen lake.

There are so many beautiful sites to visit there, here’s a map of the area from travelchinaguide.com:

30 August, 2008 (16:28) | travel & leisure | By: editor

How many of you so into the beach and island life-style, that you want to own one, even at least for just a week period of time if it is unaffordable to own for a lifetime period?

royal-davui-island-fiji-img-4

Spending most of your days with serene endless blue sea and warm white sands will surely sounds good, especially if you are looking to be secluded and get that private life going. Well there’s a whole area on private island whether to own one or to rent one.

I came accross this island called Royal Davui, Fiji.
It is our for rent from US$7,200/week

royal-davui-island-fiji-img-2

well if it is still within your affordable one, might consider to hold a private event, such as wedding or special gathering in private island, how cool would that be?

royal-davui-island-fiji-img-3

not all rent fees are that high there are some that are under $500/wk
check it out here. (I saw something like $89/wk for some island in philiphines)

Here’s my favorite one $4,900/wk for Huvafen Fushi Island Resort, Maldives, Asia. All pictures here:

Private dining, can someone please explain to me what’s this effect? is it a fiber optic pool lighting or what? It’s so romantic.

Well isn’t it a world class underwater spa? it’s where you can get that relaxation massage with the true blue ambiance surrounding you. It’s kinda of reminds me of that Ithaa Hilton Maldives Underwater restaurant.

there are more islands listings from all over the world’s areas, if interested check it out for yourself here all pictures and sources are from privateislandsonline.com.

Improv Everywhere: Human Mirror Mission

Don’t get bored - check out Improv Everywhere’s scenes of chaos and joy especially this one: Human Mirror Mission.

Entertain your-self with their experiement, watch this video:

The idea for Improv Everywhere here is to create human mirror effect by filling up a subway train with identical twins. here’s a little description of their mission taken from improveverywhere.com:

We would get on the 6 train at the start of the line at Brooklyn Bridge and the twins would sit on either side of the car, directly across from their sibling. Once in place, their job would be to mirror each other as closely as possible. If one scratches his head, so should the other. If anyone asked them what was going on, they should claim not to notice anything unusual and not to even be able to see their sibling.

2644286635 1d88c239ac

I think it is just so cool, what a thoughtful thing to do and experiement with.

2645107558 784552e4f0

2645111826 2187433783

There are some people in the train/subway that are noticing they’re standing among rows of identical twins. How amazing would that be to get that very first-hand experience surrounded by more than 15 couples (30 identical twins)?

2645112988 468b5cdd0a

some of the people reactions are just hillarious, cuz the twins acted their parts too, within the role and props that they’re given. find out more pictures, more fun comments from: Improv Everywhere - the source that causes scenes of chaos and joy to happen in public places more specifically in New York I guess, since it’s where the group is based at.

Beautiful Lingerie - fashion for butt



30 August, 2008 (11:38) | fashion, shopping | By: editor

Showing off cleavage for butt has become the latest trends especially for those low-rise jeans fans - I guess this reminds me of Britney Spear’s sexy look when she’s holding that hot pop star title, because she always dance with the low-rise jeans, slightly showing off her thongs/unddies above that low-rise jeans (look at the Britney’s “Piece of me” video here and the news ).

britney 1 << from Britney’s Slave 4 u video

Discover here the butt crack fashion, that will make you feel a little sexier:

brum 20354 5 468

A little fashion note from trendhunter.com:

The butt crack has been the new cleavage in fashion since the dawn of low rise jeans. Those low designs have mostly been attributed to risqué haute couture fashion designer Alexander McQueen; his designs stormed the catwalks and then spilled out to the sidewalks with the fury of a few hundred tornadoes.

Now, according to Trend de la Creme, the posterior is the focal point once again with these revealing lines of intimate apparel from Agent Provocateur, Faire Frou Frou, Fun Lingerie and other intimate apparel stores. The butt crack has been the 21st century sexual fetish: It’s naughty and slightly tawdry, but with the soft, round charm of a perfect pair of breasts.

And here is showing the bra straps only without thong or bikini underwear on.

Well ladies who really want to put shape one, this bra strap for butt I think is a must have then!
wanna buy or take a look visit here.
here’s some quote:

UNDERWEAR INSTEAD OF SURGERY
Hart challenged herself to create an underwear that could replace the effects of surgery. Searching for the best design idea, she stood in front of the mirror and tried a few options using self-adhesive tape until she found a successful one. Butt bra lifts and holds up the muscles where they need it, Hart explains.

BUTT LIFTING FOR MEN ALSO POSSIBLE
Now, anyone who feels like providing their saggy muscles a put together look can do that. American-based company Hard is an official distributor of butt lifter bras. Ladies can make their posterior look sexier for as cheap as $30. A special offer for men Maniki costs somewhat higher - $40.

I would want this ladder too for its cool decorative look, but it doesn’t look too assuring though if one can survive standing long enough in that paper-thick ladder.
