If Only I Had It

 Hey guys, I know it has been a long time since I have last wrote on anything here. Have been quite busy with work and all. Yes I do have a life outside of this blog. I was also away on a holiday in the United States visiting a long lost friend of mine. Havent seen him for the past 12 years since we graduated.

He is actually a surgeon now based in the Big Apple. During my duration there I came across something that I thought I should share with you guys. Dont you get frustrated most of the time with promises from your ISP provider. They always say that their internet connection is the best but the truth is it is always expensive for nothing.

Most of the time my internet connection goes according to timing. Work time is always the best as well as from late night till early morning other than that the speed is more like a dial up connection although the price is more of a DSL line.

What am I talking about you might ask. Well it is Satellite Internet. This is more of a broadband service that uses a two way satellite connection. It is more clearly knowned as  Satellite DSL. The speed using this service is by far the best I have seen. Using it was a breeze and it was very good especially when I did a lot of video conferencing. I know by know you guys would say that this is great but is way out of my budget.

Well there is surely one thing I can tell you guys. It is within means. There is this company called HughesNet that supplies the equipment and the connection for this type of broadband facility. So far the pricing that I have seen them quoting is very cheap. It is only about USD 79 per month and there is multiple types of facilities that they are providing.

I would surely recommend this service to anyone who is seriously using the internet or even in fact to anyone who is using the internet paying for a service and not getting what they expect.

Head on down to their website which I have provided in the links above and you would notice that this is surely a service to get. Hopefully they will bring such a thing down to Malaysia as soon as possible as I am clearly down hearted with my service provider.

Well the weekend is coming up and I was thinking of doing some home chores. One of the things that I have been putting off for quite a while is trying to get the dirty wooden deck by the side of my house to look as though it is brand new. The deck has been there since I bought the house. And truthfully although I think it is nice but it is now quite an eye sore.

I have had cleaning companies to come and have a look at how they could help me. Although they have so many types of products that they could use but the pricing has always been an issue until today. In my local hardware store I found many types of products and I did purchase one of them which looks like it could be the easiest one to use with the best results. To my dismay I tried using it on a small part of the deck but the results were nowhere close to what it is supposed to look like.

I ended up searching for products on the internet. I used keyworkds such as deck cleaners and even deck stains and I searched through it all until I came to a website that showed me something that I have been looking for since I wanted to start on this project. As simple as DIY could be this is the best product so far.

Now cleaning and then staining my deck should be a work that I could finish within one day and it would look as though it is brand new. I have included a photo of how my deck used to look and how it looks after just trying to use this product on a small part of it. If you would like to know more about this product I would suggest you go ahead and use the links that I have provided.

This product is really a jewel in the nile and you should be happy using it. So go ahead and try it for your own usage and see how good it actually is. If you look carefully you could see my dogs feet right at the top. After writing the company an email with the results I got from their product they are so happy that they are even using my photo and a small testament of mine to show how good their product is.

This lamp is the Gravia Lamp.

Gravia Lamp is a super green LED floor lamp that makes use of gravity to generate power for it to glow for hundred years. The Gravia Lamp is the LED lamp that is completely free from electrical cable or any related structure as it needn’t be attached to any power source to shine for you.

The Gravia Lamp makes use of slow fall of a mass to spin a rotor to generate electricity to power up its 10 built-in high-output LEDs. And the lamp has a unique way of turning it on, which works more or less like any hour-glass mechanism. To turn it on, you’ll have to turn it over to move the weights from the bottom to the top of the lamp and then it’ll start its slow falling journey to generate electricity to power the LEDs up and shine the way for you.

The Gravia Lamp is a Virginia tech student’s project, who won the designer, Clay Moulton, the first place of the Greener Gadget award. It’s claimed that this lamp can be used for 200 years at 8 hours a day!

It’s definitely not safe for a woman to walk alone in the street during night time or even at those dark corners during day time. Women are advised to have some protection for themselves. Well, picking up some Kung Fu skills maybe is a good idea or carrying a stun gun would be good too.

Stun gun nowadays seems to be one good weapon that every woman needs to bring and it has created itself a new buzz word over the Internet and news, which is called “Taser”. Taser now is available in various shapes and some are very portable, shaped like cute cartoon figures, which are so handy for women to carry around anywhere they go. When a woman’s security is being threatened, she could simply take out a taser from her handbag to shock away those threatening her.

Here comes a taser shaped like a cute Pink Seal from Strapya World. The Pink Seal is capable of delivering an electric shock, which is best used in Japanese subway or commuter trains to surprise or distract those perverted gropers. The Pink Seal can deliver a voltage of 195 volts. It can be used as a cellphone charm or attach it to your purse. Simply handy for women to bring along, to get yourself protected from those perverts.

What are these Light Fingers for? Putting it on simply makes you look stupid? Perhaps you could make use of it to deceive any of your significant others that you possess some kind of supernatural power or you’d be the most outstanding one while hanging out at any parties.

You control more than 20 different pre-programmed light show patterns, plus a black light and strobe light add mind-blowing effects.
