Headache and item not as described

Since the last couple weeks I have been contemplating to go back to Jakarta. Europe is still reeling from the economic crisis and it is quite obvious that the future is in Asia so I thought that may be it is time to return so I can catch up in time. However, this business of returning is so complicated, at least I don't have any mortgage obligation, but there are still enough headache. The problems range from mobile phone contract (that ends next year grrr), legalising all sorts of documents, last minute trips around Europe as well as selling my furnitures (and some wardrobe). eBay and Craiglist are of course on the top of my mind, but whee it is difficult and troublesome! Anyway, out of boredom I was browsing around and somehow I accidently found itemnotasdescribed. A website dedicated to share some terrific ads with offers that people can't refuse! You really need to check it out and here are some excerpts from the website.

iPhone has every single apps that you might need, even for business ;-)

Happy Easter and try out virtual jogging

Jog through Tokyo via a mash up between Google Street View and Wiimote! Check here for more.

Try to run on the google street view like a jogging game of wii fit from katsuma on Vimeo.

Education access for everyone

For those who always thirst for more knowledge, like me, then internet is truly a great blessing. Apart from the constant access to knowledge in several clicks away, now we have the opportunity to learn directly from the masters and experts of different fields. Academic Earth hosts thousands of videos featuring lectures from top scholars. Academic Earth is not the first website to do so, however my inner geek and hippies rejoice for another opportunity to learn :-)
PS: Another favourite is the ever accessible Ted Talk. Long live the geeks!

This post is dedicated to my friend Picis who recently joined Twitter :-)

Blackboard blogger in Liberia

Alfred Sirleaf wanted to provide fast and real-time news towards his community. Just like a blog. Hindered by the lack of electricity and internet connection, he decided to do it through a blackboard. Read his interesting full story in AfriGadget.

This is one of the best example that shows that simplicity is one of the best solution and in the time of need, people are very creative ;-)

And I am looking forward to the future

At the Wharton Business Technology Conference, Microsoft’s Business Division president Stephen Elop presented a video that shows future predicted technologies in the year 2019. It contains a wall connecting two classrooms in different parts of the world, touch displays, electronic newspapers and cool interactivity level. Apart from the reminiscence of Minority Report, I would love to play with such technologies!
