The Journey Continues...

I have a pair of really cheap and old in-ear headphones that needs to be replaced. Actually they still work fine but the ear buds have fallen off and are now missing, so imagine using that pair without the buds for long periods of time. Right now I’m checking out stores, both physical and online, that have monster cable headphones for sale. It’s not as cheap as my old pair but with monster headphones, you could never go wrong. Its frequency response has a wide range that you’d hear everything on the track plus its sound isolation would pretty much leave you all alone with your music. And they’re stylish, too. I have to get myself one of these.

As we are currently house-hunting, we sometimes reach places unfamiliar to us when we visit prospective sites. Yesterday, we visited again a house that we were considering. Fortunately I still remembered how to get there. We considered going to another village further away that we made a prior visit, but we quickly changed our minds as we might get lost in the way for our first visit was with the real estate agent. On our own, I don’t doubt that we’ll have a hard time looking for it without a magellan gps or something similar. So on with our house-hunting.

Commuting home via public transport can be a hassle especially during rush hour. I remember a time when we went to meet a friend of ours for dinner and we had to take the MRT to our meeting place. Getting the tickets was pretty much uneventful but when it came to boarding the train, now that was tough. Everyone was jostling for position even before the train completely stopped and the doors opened, making it even more dangerous as someone might be accidentally pushed to the tracks in front of the incoming train. The stations should put sturdy stanchions on the boarding areas so boarding and alighting would be organized but most importantly for the safety and security of the passengers.

During one of our “spring cleaning” sessions, I literally stumbled upon my son’s guitar. Good thing it didn’t get a crack. Which reminds me to get a gator case for that one. An old friend of mine who is very much into music swears by these gator cases. He’s told me a number of stories where these cases saved his long and illustrious music career.

I just read an article last night of emerging technologies in the automotive industry. Among them are standard rear-facing cameras and centrally-located airbags. It was a very interesting read as it explains the advantages of several seemingly simple yet important technologies we take for granted such as Airtex in tank fuel pump systems. Knowing how each individual system works really opens your mind on how the technology works.
