Visual and Face Memory Tests

Usually, I hate memory tests because I suck at them.
Although I still sucked at this one, I found it pretty intelligent in its implementation which made me feel more intelligent in my failure of it.

I was able to hit a percentile rank of 2 in the first two tests...the third, though, would have gotten me kicked out of school.

Sigh...

The World Without Us

A new book from Alan Weisman explores the human impact on earth and what the planet would be like without us. I found the brief interactive timeline intriguing showing how, as time went on, the earth and its inhabitants would change and adapt.

It's all educated speculation, perhaps, but take a minute and explore the activity.

Senju Kannon

I've been traveling so apologies for the lack of posts. Came across this gorgeous piece of eye-candy, though. Entitled "senju kannon" which translates to the "1000 hand goddess of mercy":

Every year, Japanese hold a 24-hour televised charity event. This is one of the "skits" from this year.

Digital Talanoa : Styles of Communication

Driving west last month, I rounded a bend and caught a glimpse of a policeman with a radar gun. He was hiding behind a tree, deeply camouflaged in palm fronds and wearing face paint and the wig-scalp of a cow balanced on top his head. Ok...that didn’t really happen. There was no wig-scalp or face paint but I’m pretty sure the guy had palm leaves wrapped around his body.

As if I was given a needle of adrenaline directly to the heart, my blood sped up significantly as my brain screamed to slow down. I think I was doing about 75. I was overcome with a feeling of absolute joy, too, when I realised that he wasn’t going to leap out in the road and wave me down, forcing me to pull over and use that lame puppy-eye “was I speeding?” look as he saddled up alongside the car. I was safe to continue on. I escaped the ticket-writing wrath of that officer on that day.

New Kidanet Ads

We've got some new KIDANET advertising starting this weekend. The focus of the spots are pretty straightforward, mainly to drive home the real differentiator of KIDANET's service: no usage cap. KIDANET doesn't throttle customers back after a certain amount of data downloaded. It is probably the most welcome part of the service for customers.

Anyway, the advertising is meant to demonstrate the fat pipe in a non-technical way.

Like on our the first KIDANET television spot, Promotion [Fiji] did the production.
