Are you one of those geeks who hate IE and give all glory and praise to Firefox? Have you been promoting Firefox in your blog and asking others to drop IE? How do you show your love towards Firefox?
Behold, the ultimate way to promote Firefox.
Having a ride like that is already cool enough. Having a custom Firefox paintjob makes you the best looking geek in town.

BBC News once reported that the painting of Mona Lisa was analyzed by a University of Amsterdam computer using “emotion recognition” software. The result showed that she was “83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry”. Now, how cool would it be if we are all able to get our hands on that software? Just imagine what we can use it for. You can analyze some photos of your spouse or partner and see what their emotions were when they were taking photos with you. 
GladOrSad.com will launch this September 2007 and will be available to the public. It is a coorperation between ilse media and University Van Amsterdam to bring similar emotion recognition software to the public.
How does it work?
When we smile, frown or grimace, thousands of tiny facial muscles are at work. Emotion-recognition software, or ERS, creates a 3-D face map, pinpointing 12 key trigger areas like eye and mouth corners.
Then a face-tracking algorithm matches the movements to six basic expression patterns, corresponding to anger, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust and happiness, or a mixture of them.
I’ll wait for the launch and see if it’s worth a review. There are photos of Bush, Michael Jackson and Ronaldinho analyzed by the software. Do check it out and have a good laugh.
What do chair, stool, sofa and bench have in common? We sit on them! Apart from that, there are also other things we do on them such as we stand, jump and even fart (pronounce properly, no pun intended) on them. Throughout our lives, we have put immense pressure and stress on the things we sit that I’m sure some of us might have even broke one or two of them.
We get to do all those nasty things to them simply because they can’t talk back to us even when we’re “hurting” them. The creators of the fuwa pica project has just changed that. Now, be prepared for the chairs to fight back!
Fuwapica is a high-tech chair that emits light when it senses pressure on it. The colour of the light changes according to the weight/pressure. Someone light sitting on it may produce a blue light while it changes to darker colours like red when someone heavy sits on it.
Contrary to the title of the article Chair changes colour if you’re fat, the chair doesn’t change colour to indicate if you’re fat but if you’re heavy. To judge if a person is fat, you will need to compare the person’s BMI and body composition, not by weight alone.
Having said that, I’m sure you’ll feel a bit awkward when your chair emits a darker light compared to the others when in the same room. (Check out this photo and you’ll know what I mean)
Links. You have probably seen thousands of it. If of any chances that you have not, here is a link to this technology blog, another to my personal blog and another to my first blogspot blog.
The usual method a webmaster or a blogger formats their links are by changing its font colour, background colour or underline. Therefore, all the links pretty much works the same way. If you are interested in checking out a different type of link, here is something interesting for you.

A few years ago, there were certain cameras or videocams that allow “see-through” photos be taken when attached with certain filters. There are a few experiments here that you may want to have a look at.
However, it looks like Photoshop could do the same “see-through” effects on photos taken by ordinary digital cameras. From the tutorial video below, any clothes that are light and thin enough is prone to such abuse.
The video is marked as “18+” only. So, that means it’s not safe for work and people below 18 or might get offended shouldn’t watch it.
