Stumble Upon ~ Make a better DVR out of an old PC

No Comment - Post a comment



Another stumble upon site for today. The site is a very nice blog teaching you how to create your very own DVR out of an old pc and some other cheap components.

It's amazing what you can do with an old PC. So, if you have a old PC laying around, search the internet for ways to revive your old PC instead of throwing it away. You are saving the earth and your pocket by reusing your old PC.

Stumble Upon ~ flickrvision! A new way of looking at flickr

No Comment - Post a comment



Stumbling is always fun as the site it churns out is very interesting. http://flickrvision.com/ makes uses of google map to display the latest photo upload to flickr. Looking at the website is really interesting as you see the map moving here and there from country to country as members upload their photos to flickr.

At first, i didn't know what the site is about and only when i explore further did i find out that the photos are actually updated almost live from flickr.com.

Kudos to David Troy for creating the site.

StumbledUpon 4 - Nintendo 20 years ago and now

No Comment - Post a comment




When the first nintendo console was released in 1987 people were all excited with classic games like mario & ice climber. Now, there's the wii which is once again another revolution. So what is the difference between 20 years ago and now?

StumbledUpon 3 - Fancy some growing tables?

No Comment - Post a comment



I have always thought that furnitures with funny shapes and sizes were all cut and pieced together by marvellous carpenters. However, from http://www.pooktre.com/ i realise that farmers can also create tables that are still growing in size. How does that sounds?

Amazing isn't it.

Other than a table, the site also shows some trees shaped like a stickman with the branches and leaves as its hair. Slowly from an infant stage, the trees are slowly shaped into the desired shape. It must have taken 10, 20 years to create one masterpiece.

No Comment - Post a comment



This is the second interesting site i found on StumbleUpon. It describe how JP Brown made use of Lego to build a rubix cube solver.

It's very cool to see that it's possible to solve the rubix cube with lego. Maybe i can try it out myself someday.

The video link on his site is down so here's another one that similar. Very Cool.

StumbledUpon 1 - A Cool Dog

4 comments - Post a comment



Today, i joined StumbleUpon.com a website which will randomly delivers interesting website to me through its toolbar integrated with IE. I didn't have high expectation at first as i thought that it will just deliver normal webpages.

However, guess what the first website stumbleupon delivers to me. It a flash page of a very cute dog and very fun music. Underneath the flash, there's a textbox asking you to type command into it.

At first i had no idea what to do with this page. After a while, i figured you can command the dog to perform some tricks. It pretty interesting to see the dog reacting to your command.

Some of the commands you can try are: walk, jump, bark, roll/roll over, die/play dead, sneeze/achoo, fetch, spin, vogue, stand.

Try getting it to do other stuff and post it as a comment.

PS: Actually, the website is a ad for dog's health supplements.
