Even 'GOD' need sex too - SuzuHaru2 ep. 2


Haruhi is at it again. As a ‘God’ herself, she enslaves others to do things such as forcing her way through others like how she single-mindedly planned on how to fill their summer vacation without really discussing the matter with other brigade members.

No matter how I look at it, SuzuHaru 2 still lacks something that I have longing for to appear in the series. Where are the non-human race like elf or higher beings like *ahem* ‘another God’ or an angel or even beings from the underworld like a vampire or a werewolf (or a ghostly entity/creature for that) or perhaps a hi-tech android. They are all bizarre/weird/odd/strange that I am certain will make Haruhi excited for sure.

p/s: With ’slave’ as the key word rather than ’servant’, I think Kyon will most likely become Haruhi’s sex slave in the future. LOL

The Blog Theory 2

There are at least 2 ways of blogging.

1. Writing all your thoughts in only one single blog.

This is the most common but it does not always mean it is easier to manage because grouping everything under one roof means you have to double your work organizing post tags and where/when they should appear.

2. Having multiple/separate blogs to accommodate different style of writing.
This is the blogging style adopted mostly by professionals, to distinguish their professional thoughts from their works, but might require them to manage multiple pages at one time.

Each ways described above have its own advantages and disadvantages. For instance, having only one blog means the blog will most likely to be frequently updated since you can always add new articles regardless of their subject. This is different with multiple blogs since it is not always for you to be able to regularly update most of them because different ideas come at different time. However, multiple blogs looks more professional since different subjects are categorized accordingly, and serious stuff are separated from the casual ones. Therefore, visitors can predict and expect what is most likely to be found on those blogs without have to be confused by inconsistent articles, thus greatly saving their time from browsing through randomly written articles as in a single blog 'blogging system'.

KORG Kaossilator - Musical instrument for the music nubes


Upon the first glance, nobody would think this is actually a musical instrument, until they see the name "KORG" at the top. This is KORG Kaossilator, yet another digital music synthesizer form KORG. You may have heard the name 'Kaoss' in the form of 'Kaoss pad' before right? FYI, Kaoss Pad and Kaosilator are both KORG products. The Kaossilator are indeed the much smaller siblings of its big brother, the Kaoss Pad. While Kaoss Pad was designed as a tabletop instrument, Kaossilator fits perfectly in your arm, if not in your palm. It is powered by 4xAA dry cell or 4.5V DC, which means you can 'play' it anywhere provided there are adequate sound system to complement it. Consisting of a boxy-shaped yellowish chassis, a knob, a volume dial, a 3-digit display, an indicator LED and a few buttons as well as a track pad slightly bigger than the size of your average notebook trackpad, the device is very simple with the RCA-out and a 3.5mm earphone jack being the only output options. The concept of this baby is very simple. It is as easy as playing the game "Electroplankton" on Nintendo-DS (I you've ever played that game you'll get the drift). Let a tone-deaf person practice for a few hours and he will be able to perform some good music in no time. There are a selection of 100 sounds to meddle with and you can start creating music right away by moving your fingers around the trackpad. It is unclear though whether it support multi-touch or not but that would be cool if it is. You are also able to record a loop and then layering them to create a multi-piece performance but don't expect it to match even a simple 8-piece classical orchestra, since it is intended more towards Rave, Acid and the likes. Being the true performance instrument, the only bad thing about this stuff would be the unavailability of digital interface (USB, optical, etc.) to either connect to a PC or just to record your generated music. That means once you turn it off things you created with "sweat, blood and tears" will gone. Well, just like the game "Electroplankton" as mentioned earlier, there is no way to digitally save the music once you finished performed, although there is a rumor that the next generation of Kaossilator (as well as the Electroplankton game, although that game has nothing to do with the device) will allow music saving on memory card (let's cross our fingers on that). Sad, it is but that is what to be expected from the so-called 'beginner' instrument. At approximately RM600, it may be overpriced for a 'simple' instrument but for for a tech geek or anybody who can't play any instrument but want to have a piece of cake of live musical performance, it is recommended.
