Porsche Panamera

Looks like Porsche will be joining a bigger car market with its new car the Panamera. It is inevitable as we seen them join the SUV with the Cayenne. A good looking full size sedan (as classified in wikipedia) with some of the familiar Porsche lines retained. In a way it does look like a Mazda 3 on its side and a Ferrari California at its front. Anyway you look at it, a Porsche is a Porsche.

Kobe Bryant Selling Ankle Insurance

Of course this is just for promotion of his shoes but he has been involved in some crazy commercials lately like the Guitar Hero ad. I tried the link in the ad and it works.

Lebron vs Kobe

Below is a video of a comparison of Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. This is about who is the best all around player. Players who also fall in this category I would say are Scottie Pippen and Magic Johnson. So let the debate begin...

Osamu Ichikawa

It has been a very, very... I mean very long time since I had visited Anime News Network. First time to open it for more than two years and you read that one of the veteran voice actors, Osamu Ichikawa had died. I had no idea who he was but after reading the article, I found out that he played the voice of Prince Heinell in Choudenji Machine Voltes V. Here in the Philippines he is well known as Price Zardos. He also played a part in other popular anime such as Macross, Lupin, Galaxy Express and Gundam (including Gundam Wing as Quinze). Of course most of these cartoons were wither dubbed in English or in Filipino. Only a few people would have appreciated his work.

He succumed toa heart attack last January 2, 2009. He was 72.

Tony Parker Gane Winning Shot

I am not a fan of the Spurs but the final sequence of events in a game against the Sixers last January 3 was amazing.

Lebron Traded To The Spurs

A rare error made by ESPN, and someone was able to record it and have it uploaded to Youtube for all to see. How could someone have mistaken Lebron James to be Tony Parker from the Spurs. Again, he was mistaken for a player for the Spurs!

Lebron said that what he did in the Wizards-Cavaliers game was his patented "Crab Dribble". Whatever it is, it is illegal. Good call made by the referee.


Here is another boxing event, May 2, Pacquiao-Hatton bout. This may prove to be more of a mismatch than the DelaHoya-Pacquiao bout since Hatton is still close if not at his prime. Some would argue that Pacquiao may still win this because of his speed. Some think that Hatton will send put up a clinic for Pacquiao and knock him out but I beg to differ. There is always a possibility that Pacquiao will loose but he will put up a fight with Hatton.

As to the revenues this will generate, I dot think that this will make as much noise as the DelaHoya-Pacquiao fight.

Cool Manila Weather

Have you noticed that the temperature has dropped today? The past days has been cool compared to the other days of the year but today seemed a lot cooler. Which is nice for a change. While doing this blog, the thermometer reading is 25C. The 7 day forecast shows the same trend.

I hope this is not an effect of what we are doing with the environment.

In my previous blog I was thinking about what to focus on for 2009. On the first day of 2009, we went to see Dinosaurs Alive! and searched for storage devices to for our videos. We bought a Sony HD Handycam around a month ago and we took videos of our trip to Coron, Christmas Party, Nicole's Birthday, New Year Party and our trip to see the dinosaurs in full HD! The Handycam's hard drive is just 40GB so had to pack in most if our videos in our Mac so we could capture events starting from Nicole's Birthday!

We plan on converting them to HD DVD format in the future when prices goes down or just keep them in one big storage. This is why we were scrambling for the storage. So far below is our list of choices. Looks like 500GB is the minimum.

  1. Buffalo
  2. Netgear NAS (this seemed the hardest to find)
  3. Linksys NAS
  4. Western Digital NAS (could not get the exact name of this one)
