Web Hacking - PHP hacks
I am just reading up on my new book, PHP Hacks from O’Reily. But I found
this cool site on stumbleupon about PHP Hacks who are not geeky enough
like me to buy a book.
I find these PHP hacks can help you in making your website or blog better
since most websites and blogs are based on PHP.

Loading ...Cool Stuff from Hackaday
Hackaday found some cool stuff after their sushi thanksgiving party, well I gotta give that a try
next year. You can always refer to Make’s HOWTO on sushi for sushi lovers.
Talking about sushi, if you live in San Francisco, you gotta check out Oyaji’s Restaurant. It’s run by
a Japanese chef, Hideki, who’s from Japan. He’s got some awesome fresh sushi.
Anyways, getting back to the hackaday story, here’s some cool ps3 grills you can make if you want
to make it super geeky instead of buying one from George Foreman. Well actually my friend did
have a george foreman grill and the steaks ended up nice.
Yes, we are getting hungry again although we just ate, we will have to add cooking category to our
categories soon…
Okay, anyways again, getting back to the original cool stuff from Hackaday, here it is:
In one of those special moments of vengance, the ‘real’ ps3 grill was created. (It’s been built, don’t be fooled by the fund raising graphic they were too lazy to remove.)In another moment of consumer electronics death, a 25mw 405nm laser was obtained from a blu-ray DVD burner and turned into the closest thing to a light saber I’ve seen.

Interesting video on how pavers are made.
Pavement in American English refers to the durable surface for an area intended to sustain traffic, which can be either vehicular traffic or foot traffic. The most common modern paving methods are asphalt and concrete. In the past, brick was extensively used, as was metalling. Today, permeable paving methods are beginning to be used more for low-impact roadways and walkways.

Getting back to some serious side of technology, we will randomly dive into nanotechnology.
What is nanotechnology?
Here’s a good Google video on nanotechnology explaining what it is:
The Environmental Protection Agency has decided to regulate a large class of consumer items made with microscopic “nanoparticles” of silver, part of a new but increasingly widespread technology that may pose unanticipated environmental risks, a government official said yesterday.
The decision — which will affect the marketing of high-tech odor-destroying shoe liners, food-storage containers, air fresheners, washing machines and a wide range of other products that contain tiny bacteria-killing particles of silver — marks a significant reversal in federal policy. It also creates an unexpected regulatory hurdle for the burgeoning field of nanotechnology, which involves the creation of materials just a few ten-thousandths the diameter of a human hair.
Basically nanotechnology is a technology that kills bacteria with its particles of silver. It has been used in shoes, food-storage container, etc…etc…
The EPA will try to regulate the technology by testing and making sure that the nanosilver is safe as its disposed into our environment and does not kill the good germs too.
There are speculations that nanosilver could kill HIV and AIDS too.

Any comments appreciated in helping understand nanotechnology better.

More PS3 bashing continue as if people were either trying to promote it or
the opposite. Anyways, it seems someone is smashing another PS3 somewhere
else in the world.
If you have better PS3 smashings, you know where to send them to.
You better checkout wii smashings too if you haven’t already…
We’ll be the first to admit that the whole “smash this object” craze is getting a tad out of hand, but the latest rendition of demolishing a perfectly functional PlayStation 3 is just revolting. While we’ve witnessed Nintendo’s Wii being cautiously dissected and publicly mangled, a couple of mountain men (and their canine companions) decided to take their newly purchased 60GB PS3 to the woodshed. After rambling about and capturing their mountaineer lifestyle in perfect fashion, they decide to crush the box with a large chunk of timber, only to make matters worse by busting out the ole hacksaw. Further abuse was bestowed care of a gas-powered chainsaw, and for the finale, it was set ablaze to cheers of evil laughter. While the motive here is certainly clear, and the tools used to inflict punishment are indeed respectable, you’d think someone willing to trash $600 (not to mention to probable near-death experience trying to acquire one) would actually show the PS3 within the box. But alas, no “real” proof is ever shown, so be sure to peep the YouTube vid after the break and chuckle at this glaring oversight.

Here’s an interesting take on the Nintendo Wii, “Yesterday, something amazing happened: my parents played a video game.”
Yes, that is almost “magical”.
This seems like wii is a revolutionary way to play video game nowdays.
We have definitely reached another level of game play.
There are even rumors that you need to be in good physical condition
to play wii games or even the fact that playing wii will increase your stamina
and even lose weight!
I completely agree with the fact that wii with its simplicity of games and at the
half the price of a PS3, we can all play video games. Even me, I can play
some video games with excuse that I am working out at the same time.
Go Wii! Cheers!

Interesting technology is being developed to turn your atoms in your
body to go “invisible”. We are now reaching the “X-men” era.
