Google Analytics for Blogger [In Private Beta]

Google Analytics for Blogger will be available for blogger users soon!!! :)

chic and very pretty! me like!

"It's clear that the standalone Measure Map is history and all of its features will be added in a new Google Analytics section for blogs with information about comments, links from other blogs, popular posts and, hopefully, real-time stats. FeedBurner is also a good candidate for integrating with Google Analytics and providing the big picture of your blog's traffic.


Another good news is that Blogger users will finally have a stats panel that can be accessed directly from Blogger's interface. Hopefully, Google will also include options like showing the number of views for each post or adding a list of the most popular posts in the sidebar."

now that it's going to happen, i wonder what will happen to other stats counter? hmm.

Guess The Price

hello!

while my guts are still literally boiling, try guessing the price of this Golden MacBook Air? by the way it has a sexy name, Golden Age. Designed by Ayano Kimura, this MacBook Air is made with special 24k gold coated Swarovski crystals.

i'm gorgeous, i'm gorgeous

oh and try guessing this too!

'sup dawg, check out ma bling!

can you feel me?

and now i would like to present you the most expensive laptop in the world, the Tulip E-Go Diamond which costs a bomb of € 283,000 (do your math) omg?! the Tulip E-Go Diamond notebook inlaid with solid palladium white gold plates in which thousands of brilliant cut diamonds have been set.
i'm the fairest of all, now all hail me

i'm real

so is my inside

"The brilliant cut diamonds are microscopic and pave set with surgical precision. This magnificent end result is possible thanks to the use of brilliant cut diamonds with a large variety of diameters." as quoted from AMDboard.com

only rich idiots are willing to buy a notebook like that. -.- pft

Somebody, Please Kill Me

for a moment i felt utter devastation, and i was hoping someone kind to kill me at the instant. my moment of depression began after having my brows threaded at BrowHaus Wheelock when i thought of checking out the Apple store one storey down.

the moment i walked in, i recalled my friend telling me about the new MacBook Air which she personally thinks is millions times hotter than her MacBook. i listened to my intuition and headed towards the PC and laptop section where they display the hottest ones in the market now and i was drooling over every kind when my eyes set upon the MacBook Air.

i swear my eyes started bleeding, so are my ears, mouth...nose..

very *chio can!

so anyway, i forced myself to shift my attention elsewhere so i pranced away to the iPods section. swiftly, i took a piece of brouchure and browsed through. my eyes fixed on a particular line that says: iPod Classic 80GB, SGD388

curiously i approached the salesperson to point out which iPod Classic they meant. (i thought iPod Classic would be the older version a.k.a iPod Video, so i wanted a conformation) he pointed at latest iPod Classic!
omg they call me cheap!

at that point of time i wanted to scream 'fuck!' so loudly my insides boiled literally. i took my iPod Video and asked the staff at the information counter how much the market value is. he took out a blue file, flipped and pointed at the super tiny printed words. it says : iPod Video 30GB SGD50
huh! i paid this piece of shit for $500 2 years ago!

everyone heard you, now shut up!

WTF, WA LAO I REALLY FEEL LIKE HATING IPOD NOW! v_v

why are they doing such a thing to me! i got my iPod 2 years ago and i didn't expect the price of the new iPod Classic to plunge that bad! 80GB! for $388!

urgh! somebodyjust kill me right now!

*chio means pretty in hokkien

Make It Global

i found this amazing website translator, AltaVista from my friend Mong's blog if i'm still able to recall a long time ago. it does website translations from chinese to french to korean! and the transformation is within under a minute. i think it's a good tool for bloggers who wish to increase traffic flow and readers for their website.

if you'd like one, get it here!

however, there's one thing i have to point out. the website is a direct translation so therefore, the grammer and word formations might be wrong based on individual language.

the fact that i could read mine in chinese, proves that the translator isn't that bad afterall. so you might wanna give a try. :)

print screens of my blog in several languages. (click to enlarge)

in Chinese

in german

in french

in japanese

in korean

hope it's helpful!

D.I.Y Cloud/Lava Lamps



i love lava/cloud lamps. they look modern and will never disappoint you with their random movements and vibrant colours; definitely a must have in any apartments that wants to achieve the whole mod look.

because i'm on a budget, i found the perfect solution that enables me to create a lava lamp with a tight budget of 10 buckaroos! and you must be thinking that i'm crazy but i can convincingly show you that i'm not kidding.

another genius posted a video on how to make a lava lamp under a budget of 10 bucks and hopefully achieve the whole effect effectively.

so many viewers followed the instructions and managed to come up lamps like these

gift for his gf and she loved it

refreshing idea for Halloween

cheap, mod looking lamp for the living room

mystical feel

creativity sure runs in everyone's veins, isn't it?

i'll shan't post the entire set of instructions but what i'll do is to post the video instead and the link to how to make your very own, 10bucks cloud lamp! behold! :) (click here for instructions)




Photographers Might Find This Entry Useful

i chanced upon this quick-n-dirty Light Tent project for photographing prototypes and appearance models. and you know getting a studio just to take photographs on objects and products is a pretty dumb move, so this genius came up with a D-I-Y Light Tent with simple materials!

so this genius wdrwilson explained that he was inspired to do this project after seeing the PVC light tent, which uses a cardboard box, and some white material (Tyvek) which allowed him to take reasonable photos of products such as watches, jewlery, small objects, etc..blah blah. and the end product of an image turns out to look like this

sweet, eh?

Materials You'd Need:
- Masking tape or other heavy tape (Duct, packing, etc)
- X-Acto knife
- Ruler
- Glue Stick
- semi transparent white material (Tyvek, White suiting/Ripstop nylon, bed sheets, etc)

Step 1: First thing to do is find your self a usable box. The box I used is a half of a resin plastic shelf. The dimensions are roughly 16" x 15" x 15". This size has handled most things I have put in it, however I think something a little wider would be easier to use...

well i hope photographers like you found joy in this and hopefully, from the end product, improvise and create a better Light Tent and share with others :)

How To Make Real Money With Google AdSense

lisa says it all.




i have the urge to use Google Adsense more instead of Nuffnang. despite the latest Glitterati program provided by Nuffnang, i dont know, maybe Google sounds better in terms of money and visitor traffic. but seriously who knows?!

Sidekick 3

i know it has been released since forever, but i will love to have a sidekick 3 badly! :O
SK3 designer phone


extra bling! super hot! :D~

was watching Heros when Hayden Panettiere was using her yellow/gold sidekick! super hot! though its all bulky and such but it's totally different if you have one of your own! despite the pretty lousy functions the phone has, the swivel screen and QWERTY buttons make easy in terms of messaging and surfing the internet. it has its own bluetooth and 1.3 megapixel camera which doesnt really much do anything. also the lack of the 3G function makes a PSP look-a-like, expensive at a pricey USD$399 with contract.

so i guess its not worth my money afterall. but i'd still very much like it :)

Do You Even Remember?

friendster? myspace? multiply? blah, _____________ (fill in the blanks)

could only think of these because i used to be a user. now the question is, do we really utilize them? honestly speaking, i had this mindset of adding as many friends in friendster to get more comments and views in my profile. call me shameless, but that was so 2001!

as i grew older, i deleted all those people i anonymously added, gave my profile a brand new look now with gradually decreasing visits to the site itself; i see no purpose in the ongoing commitment. so it was dunzo for friendster the copycat! but it's number of fans are ever-increasing i dont know why.


i still visit myspace, lastfm and imeem frequently when i wanna check out new music though, and i've got to say they're pretty good in terms of downloads and latest music outbreaks and also other music related stuff.



YAY! to good music

so now to the latest, facebook, a phenomenal social networking website is the new friendster. and the founder Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is cute, studies at Harvard and 4 years my senior so whoever who becomes his girl is not only rich but famous! (digression) lol! not that i care anyways. i did a wiki research about facebook and was actually shocked that the founder actually rejected a $1billion deal from Yahoo.

Some have asserted that this deal values Facebook at approximately US$ 15 billion. However, an extension of Microsoft's advertising relationship with Facebook to 2011 constitutes a large portion of the value of the deal.

-wikipedia from Mark Elliot Zuckerberg

wow thats a lot of money. if $1 billion isn't enough, whats 14 more? tell me about it. moreover, it isn't that difficult to be your own millionaire. neither do i mean it's easy. ;)

so my point is, almost everyone is crazy about facebook. sadly to say im not a fan of facebook because it's annoying and crappy and only 无聊 people wont think so because its the perfect place for them to be! prft well, there.

to cut it short, social networking websites are nothing but a waste of time and effort for consumers like me.
