I feel sad and amazed at the magnitude of this disaster. I pray and hope for those families affected by the tsunami of Dec 26, may God guard them all and let us all send some love and help to them.

The West Australian: "A 21-year-old Perth man is lucky to be alive after having his stomach ripped open during a beer-skolling game using a home-made device powered by an electric pump". Yep you heard it right. This 21 yrs old dude in Australia made a device with a helmet, jug, tubes and an electric drill as a pump and went on a drinking game. SMART right? Well not to say the guy freaked out when "I started spewing up red stuff and was in a lot of pain" no wonder. The took him to the hospital were he underwent surgery to repair a 10cm tear. He was really luck to be alive. Now that's what I call "Last Call".
CNN.com - Doctors: Yushchenko was poisoned - Dec 11, 2004: "Dioxin poisoning caused the disfiguring illness" Sadly for this man (presidential candidate for Ukraine), his life has changed drastically. He was poisoned with Dioxin (a byproduct of herbicides much like Agent Orange) causing the disfiguring of his face and a rare skin color, the poisoning also causes severe pain which he has been suffering from these past days. I believe to stand for your opinions and beliefs but this was horrible, threatening another person's life? No way, I sincerely hope he gets better and that may this be an example of a brave man that instead of retiring and hiding in his home with medical attention has given speeches with his face like this. Now that's having courage, here are some links and pictures of VIKTOR YUSHCHENKO.
EPIC 2014 This is an amazingly put and maybe not so far from reality story. I strongly belief that Google will be the next "Microsoft" maybe not in OS'es area (even when a "GoogleOS" would be nice) but in every other aspect of our lives. No I'm not exaggerating, a few years back B. Gates said on a conference that "the future would be that the user didn't have to go to the news but that the news went to the user via every appliance possible" (no we don't have the New York Times on our fridges but close), nowadays this idea is a reality. The news, other media and every other piece of knowledge gets to the user via cell phones, PDA's, RSS, Blogs, IM, etc. And what would happen if everything consolidated into a massive universal source? This is what this video presents. Interesting now... Maybe priceless on the future.
