armpits are the best spots to hang your tee

Of course, this is one of the things that our high class friend Don who lives beautiful Boston and picturesque Quincy does not have to worry about. Unlike most people here hanging clothing on the line, Don uses luxurious cloth dryer, keeping all his washings nice as soft!

Most of us have t-shirts, and after washing, we hang them on the line (except Don). Then, there are peg marks from where you put the pegs. Mel and Nat from Channel Seven Sunrise have some great tips:

people are unbelievably low

Well, most of you should know that I am a good bargain hunter. While window shopping at Officeworks today, I noticed the toner cartridge (Brother TN-155BK) is on the bargain bin table, for half of the price.

The price was really attractive compared to regular price. It is the right toner for Brother MFC-9840CDW multifunction colour laser printer bought in later 2010. I, of course, know the exact toner number as I've ordered quite a few batches.

However, this heavily discounted item was a customer returned item. So I thought if it was only returned because of purchasing the wrong item, I can save the money. However, I told myself, I'd better be careful. The box felt a bit lighter than usual.

one person screaming is not enough

Few days ago I mentioned that I bought an iMac for 99 cents. To pick up that 99 cents bargain, Laurent and I drove to Terrigal (in Central Coast). I noticed two interesting signs:

Apparently, one person screaming is not enough for the ice creams, plural is needed.

“stocking-up” the machines, because they are so powerful!

When Apple introduced Power Mac G5 in 2003, in one of their introduction video (YouTube video at about 2:50), they mentioned that the powerful PowerPC G5 generated a lot of heat, so they designed very powerful and silent fan!

The powerful PowerPC G5's fans are so powerful, and it could be a problem for some, particularly for those who live in dusty area and put the Power Mac G5 on the floor. Here's an example from 68kmla:

scorching hot day

According to news report, Sydney had its hottest day since Spring season (started late last year). This year started with a rather nice (and coolish) New Year, and a non-sticky hot Australia Day. Today, the weather is unusually hot.

How hot is it? At some stage, it reached 35°C outside according to my digital thermometer. As a matter of fact, I did not switch on the air conditioner in my room, and no fan either. So the result? Unbearably hot temperature in my room at 11pm still.

Here's the temperature taken at 11pm at night:

99 cents bargain!

I scored myself a 99 cents bargain from eBay the other day.

Antony can't calculate square root.

mathboard

While window shopping at Apple Store (Bondi) yesterday, I stopped at iPad section and decided to play what interesting iOS apps they got. One of the app I played was MathBoard. It seems to be interesting.

I of course play this highly educational app without cheating. I used my head or pen and paper (actually drawing on iPad) to work out the answers. My algebra (arithmetic) was not that bad, after all, unlike today's highly educated Don, I was old-schooled. No calculators in any of my math classes, only one class in high schooled allowed the use of calculator - Statistical Mathematics. Of course, there was no PDA, not light-weight and easy-to-search digital books, no internet etc. With all algebra, I was learned to either work them out with pen and paper or in my head. Today's kids (e.g. Don) is simply so damn lucky.
