Saving Energy with Black Google
by. Dolvin ≈ May 8, 2008 |
Did you know about Blackle?
Blackle is Black version of Google for saving energy, that have a Google search box on a black background with light text. The site is intended to allow environmentally conscious Internet users to save a little electricity while they surf. The concept is based on findings that suggest that some computer monitors use more energy to display a white or light coloured screen than they do to display a black or dark coloured screen.
it said Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen".
- Roberson et al, 2002
On Mark Ontkush blog, entitled: “Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year”. He said, Google, which has a white background and gets about “200 million queries a day” could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the color of its homepage to black.
Hmmmm...
Btw, there is another black Google custom search portal called Jabago.com that designed to reduce eye strain and save energy (with CRT monitors) while conducting Google searches. All searches from this portal will take you directly to google.com with a black background and light text.
In the end, with Black search portal, every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

What is heartache?
by. Dolvin ≈ April 30, 2008 |
 Hmmm... do you know what is heartache? Is it a physical pain you feel in your heart? Do you have a sharp pain in your chest when your heart is aching? Is your chest tight when your heart is aching? A heartache is a feeling that begins in your heart. But it slowly moves to your throat and you begin to feel a knot when you try to swallow. Your eyes whell up and you try and fight the tears from falling, but you can't. The tears fall and your heart aches and you can't breathe. You want something to make it go away. Just one thing so you can feel better about what has taken you to a low point you wouldn't wish on anyone. when someone you love hurts, you will feel this kind of heartache. Where there is heartache, there is love. anything can lead to heartache, by oepening yourself to love, you risk heartache. Because if you did not love these people so intensily they wouldn't be able to hurt your heart. Hmmm.. for me, if I got an heartache.. simple conclusion.. I just need hug... so, if that happen... just let me calm down a bit then give me a hug and let me cry in your shoulder.. hihihihi... how bout you?  |

Modern Toilet Restaurant
by. Dolvin ≈ April 4, 2008 |
Modern Toilet is a restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan with a modern decor and a full-on toilet theme. All 100 seats in the crowded diner are made from toilet bowls, not chairs. . Sink faucets and gender-coded "WC" signs appear throughout the three-storey facility.  There are already 12 Modern Toilet restaurants in Taiwan, and internationally in Hong Kong and Japan too. Meals in this restaurant are Japanese-Taiwanese style. The food comes in your own hot toilet bowl with a little fake “poop” on one side. Their popular meals are different kinds of Shabu Shabu, served with a side of vegetables, soup, and rice. You are also able to choose different ingredients in the Shabu Shabu, such as beef, pork, or vegetables.   And have a dessert of ice-cream (ice cream that looks like "poop") comes in a squat toilet... yaks.. huehehe...   even though, the ice cream a little bit "yaks" but I want to visit this unique restaurants.. so, if u go to taiwan, hongkong or japan.. visit this restaurant, ok? and tell me.. your review bout this resto.. huehehehe... |

8 Don't do After Meals
by. Dolvin ≈ March 31, 2008 |
1. Don't smoke
Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
2. Don't eat fruits immediately
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
3. Don't drink tea
Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4. Don't loosen your belt
Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
5. Don't bathe
Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
6. Don't walk about
People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7. Don't sleep immediately
The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
8. Don't drink cold water
Cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this “sludge” reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.
