It's Still Winter

This is a view from behind my school this morning.  It was a snowy morning with the temperature of around -14°C.  Nothing much to report other than I am tired of the cold.

BabyMetal

Over the holiday break with nothing to occupy me I took a gander at the weird part of the internet and came back with BabyMetal.  Funny sounding name I thought.  Oh look, three Japanese girls singing metal?  That's cute...

My New Nexus 7

Six months after I dropped my tablet and cracked the screen, I decided to replace it with the new version of Google's Nexus 7 tablet.  This time with an overpriced official red folio case, because I know I will drop it again.

I haven't played too much with the tablet yet but from a quick glance, the most noticeable difference is the much higher resolution of the screen.  It really is sharp.  I loaded some music and video files and my essential apps such as banking and Kindle on it.  I will also try to use it for studying rather than using the old fashioned print outs.  With Quickoffice already loaded on it, I can now open Word and Powerpoint files on the go.

Here's hoping I am more careful this time around and not cause another fatal accident.

First Game of 2014

A new year and a new game.  This time at a closed school that is scheduled to be demolished.  In any case, this was the first game I took part in since I stopped playing six months ago.  I have been busy with going to school full time and working when I am not in school.  That left very little time for airsoft.

Broken Tablet

I did the unthinkable one night as I accidentally dropped my beloved Nexus 7 tablet.  I was visibly shaken that night after having a life changing shocking moment.  I am not sure if it was my grip that was weak or my sweaty palm, but I managed to somehow let go of said tablet and it took a two foot fall onto the concrete bus station floor.

Inside Combat Rescue

I had just finished with a National Geographic documentary called Inside Combat Rescue.  A six part series that portrayed the activities of a team from the US Air Force Para Rescue deployed in Afghanistan.

Every episode followed different members from the team as they deploy to rescue US and ANA soldiers who were injured in battle and as well as civilians.  Viewers are able to see the action up close thanks to the abundant cameras placed inside the Pave Hawk helicopters as well as on the helmet of the PJs themselves.

For those who does not have the National Geographic Channel, search for Inside Combat Rescue on YouTube for the full six episodes.  I highly recommend this.

Oakley SI Belt

Revealed for the first time at ShotShow, Oakley have finally released their SI Belt.  I was able to acquire one from SKD Tactical.  Retail price of $100 is not cheap but I was always curious about these belts.
