I’ve updated my homemade extrapolator. The purpose is still the same, so you can read all about what it’s used for from past post
On April 2013, Iron Man 3 appeared in Philippine theaters. There was a scene where Tony stark was in a room, wearing shielded sunglasses that caught my attention: 1 He actually wore two variants of it: a Silver/Cobalt frame with gradient lens & a Gold/Black frame with solid red lens. He also wore an entirely different model which I didn’t really care for.
Either the internet didn’t have any info on it that night, or I was too stupid to consider searching (probably the latter) – but I finally identified the sunglasses in question two months after. It was a Matsuda M3023.
This is the story of my long wait to acquire these babies… oh and of course a review on them as well 😉 Read More

April last year, I decided to buy an LED flashlight. After all, having at least one useful flashlight in one’s life makes sense.
But me being me, I wanted a “premium” one. So naturally, I went to the best enthusiast site of all things “flashlight”, Candle Power Forums.
While it was expected that different folks would prefer different brands/models, one brand that stuck out as being unanimously respected was HDS. So I ordered their EDC Custom Rotary – and after a seven month waiting period, the light finally shipped.
Obviously this post was prompted by my [relatively long overdue] upgrade to an iPhone 5S (was previously a 4S user – and never felt the need to upgrade to a 5), however this is not going to be a “first impressions” sort of post that I usually do with my other “reviews.”
Instead its a sincere statement on how I have come to believe that biometric authentication is the way to go for “smart [handheld] devices” in general.
I’m not saying this just because the 5S finally decided to have such a feature, but because I’ve always believed in biometrics, but only now have I experienced a “commonplace” device implement it reliably. Read More
My sister and I were discussing the proposed modification on the number-coding scheme. We basically agreed on the same things – I thought I’d share my thoughts on the matter.
To be fair, It doesn’t take an advanced math degree to realize that something like the number coding scheme does deal with volume of vehicles on the road. The real question is if such a solution also takes into account other factors surrounding the traffic situation. The short of it, it doesn’t – and that’s where it fails to be a lasting “solution”.
The problem, really, is that this can be easily avoided by those who can afford to buy new vehicles to circumvent the “rule” – which will eventually bring the volume back to what it was very quick.
I assume people who actually understand what I’m saying can imagine why this assumption is correct, but for the sake of being thorough (and for the sake of blogging about it), let me paint a clearer picture to put some perspective. Read More
