I know you may not pay attention to what’s being displayed at the window of Mediaplex because you may take it as yet another commercial. But the other day, I decided to stop and take a closer look at the window of this gadget shop in Mid Valley. Wow… only then I realize such advanced GPS navigation system is available in Malaysia! Yes, they have Malaysia maps! Hahaha…

And, amazingly the price is not very expensive. It costs RM1599 only… yeah, not expensive at all if you are on the road all the time. Imagine how much time and petrol cost this GPS navigation system from Garmin can save you in the long run? However, I don’t know if you need to subscribe to update the maps or not.

What should you post when you have nothing worth blogging? You post a geek monkey!

Hahaha… just so to keep you entertained. Hope you don’t look like the monkey when you saw this funny post.

I was browsing through Nikon’s website and was delighted to learn that they have just introduced a new DSLR named D60. The D60 has the same compact lightweight body and easy to use control layout compared to similar models from Nikon such as the D40 and D40X.

Just like the D40X, D60 doesn’t have the built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with motor lenses (AF-S and AF-I lenses). This must be the biggest turn off for serious amateur photographers.

Anyway, at least Nikon include a couple of innovative features in this latest DSLR, they include:

• Anti-dust system that incorporates a self-cleaning sensor unit that shakes off dust, and an airflow system which blows dust away from the sensor.
• Orientation sensor, automatically rotates user interface when the camera’s orientation is changed.
• Eye sensor which turns off the LCD monitor when the viewfinder is used.

Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company that has tracked the Internet’s growth since 1995, reports a mammoth milestone was reached during the end of 2007. In the December 2007 survey, they received responses from more than 155 million sites. This is an whooping increase of 5.4 million sites since the previous month. The web has grown by nearly 50 million sites since the same period the previous year.

Compare this number to the 18,000 websites that Netcraft, based in Bath, England, began keeping track of back in August 1995! Such an amazing growth!

It has been a while since I released my Corporate WordPress theme. Never had I imagine the response will be so encouraging, from a couple of downloads and users, now the theme is being used proudly on many WordPress powered blogs.

I have no download counter on this blog so I am not sure how many have downloaded here but I do get pingback whenever the theme is being used. The result is totally “out of this world”!
