Indy Telecom & Industrial Media

I wonder who will win in the standoff between ugly dolls.

Personally, I vote for both to be gone to raise the intelligence of the next generation by a few points. Bring on the Legos instead!

Today, I finally gave into temptation and bought myself a Blackberry Curve 8320. It wasn’t exactly cheap, but hey, it was long due and was totally worth it (and I got one hell of a discount).

It’s quite a beauty, sleek, small and very easy to use. And it comes loaded with all the cool features — wireless capable, a 2 MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0, built-in multimedia player, 320 x 240 QVGA display, 64 MB internal and of course, a microSD expansion slot, 312MHz Intel processor and a whole slew of other features.

Other interesting things include such things as Blackberry Maps and a kick-ass multimedia player. And I really really love the trackball. Other things that I like about this phone is that it has a very convenient mute key (so you can have it turned on when you’re flying but it won’t try accessing any network) and a push-to-talk button on the side. The display also automatically adjusts the lighting levels by sensing its surroundings, which is really quite useful.

Sadly, it’s not quite 3G (2.75G, maybe? :)) and there is no HSDPA or GPS, but hey, I am not complaining.

So yes, I am stricken with the phone fever.

I finally gave into temptation and bought myself a few Lego Bionicle sets. Have a peek.

And is it me or does anyone else think that these two pictures could totally fit into an Alien vs. Predator movie?

I totally could not resist putting up this picture of my three little Hexbug critters together.

They are such mean things — they try avoiding one another but in the process, end up hitting one another anyway. Almost makes me want to write a program to see what a colony of a million of these would look like.

If you haven’t noticed, I suffer from ENS (Excessive Neoteny Syndrome) and lately, I have been obsessed with making various fun things with Lego.

So, here you go - a Lego DeLorean.

I was hacking the Lego Mindstorm vehicle demo when I saw a few other things lying around on my desk. I totally could not resist taking this picture.
