Solar power found in portable chargers

Currently interested in portable chargers. Some of these uses solar power and were reviewed in RACV's Royal Auto magazine, August 2009 issue, p. 8, FreePlay FreeCharge | Hymini |Powermonkey eXplorer. Many tech magazines have pinned Solio as the most powerful 1 on the market. While I'm currently own 1 EnergizerToGo that is not solar powered and planning to own a more eco friendlier device. Um. If only I can win one. lol. You can see them on my flickr album click here.

Hymini - a wind/solar powered device that wicked when you put it on your bike's handle bar.

December 2007

I have being to several places while crusiing through December and here is the list:

1. Eureka Tower (aka sky deck 88) with friends.
2. Chadstone shopping centre by bus 767 with sis.
3. Southland Shopping Centre by bus 631 with sis.

Looking down from Eureka Tower I see lots of dry gardens and interesting roof tops. Although the Yarra river water is murkey from Eureka tower it sparkled with the help of the sun of course. Going by bus to distant shopping centres we get more time to browse, as we don't have bro/dad rushing us to go home and i must say without a time limit on you don't end up implusively buying unwarranted items. My sister and I ended soaking up the atmosphere and participate in other services than just 'purchasing'. nice.

My most prized purchase would be a mini digital frames/clock.

There is a f*k up site which is notorious for defamation of ppl www.sexualrelationship.databse.com beware of such fraudsters.

Things to remember:
1. Werribee zoo bus 439 does not operate on Sundays.
2. Hadouken = fireball aka punch (street fighter).
3. MMS must be under 100KB.
4. Melbourne Cup winner was number 6 horse 'efficient'. Followed by [2] no 12 purple moon, [3] no 24 malher, and [4] no 9 zipping (my horse lost).
5. IME and fb combo winner is Chinese (Taiwan) and New Changjie. Apparently, Chinese PRC and MS pinyin IME doesn't display too well. Oh well.

6. Sound vs spell: for-ca-za vs Foccia.

7. PC issue: if it keep rebootn. Set 2 reboot fr CD. Reformat HDD. Therefore backup weekly.

8. 3G fone as modem to PC:Ntwk conn -> create a new conn -> conn2Net -> setup my conn manu -> conn using a dialup modem -> select modem w/ ph title as usb -> config dialup number as *99# -> U+P = Vodafone -> copy/shortcut 2 desktop.

End of March 2007

March 2007 was mostly spent following post dental surgery rules:
1]Bleeding occurs in the 1st 24/48hrs use cotton gauze to soak up the blood.
2]Take soluable pandol and Di-gesic pain killers
3]Use antiseptic mouth wash 3 times a day
4]Avoid ver hot/cold food and drinks
5]Eat soft food
6]Avoid vigorous exercise and minimize talking during this time.

After surgery the anaesthetic wore off, surge of pain rush to the left side of my face and my head throbs with pain. Took many soluable pandols. Nothing cann distract you from such pain. My cheek was very swollen. I mumble when i speak for the first 3 days. I survived on congee and mash potato as my staple meals, while Continental's instant soup was my snacks. Basically i mashed and slurp my food/medicine. I found it difficult to open my mouth any wider, brushing teeth was excruciating painful. The internal bits of my mouth were very sore. It hurts to yawn or look up [i had to bend my back to see stuff on walls].

I was pretty much sleep deprived. I would end up with fever. I was never too far from a bin in case of nausea and vomit caused by pandol and di-gesic's drowsiness. At times the pain is unbearable I usually won't fall asleep until 6am and or on a sunny day sleep only in the warmth of afternoon sunshine with my cat, Mimi.

After 3 dental surgery your gums are weaken to the state where you find it difficult to chomp on certain solid foods. My stitches are utmost important and needs to maintained to i avoided food that breaks in sharp pieces in my mouth. When you have wounds most foods feel like they are sharp.
