Exploding Cellphones Batteries

August 16, 2007 By: marvin Category: weblinks, Geeky Gadgets 2 Comments →

Nokia BL-5C Battery
Nokia has issued an advisory concerning one of their cellphone battery model that would seem to heat up and explode while charging. apparently the batch made between December 2005 to November 2006 has been known to short circuit, thus becoming a potencial fire hazard. Nokia haven’t decided on recalling each and everyone of these batteries, but one can still request a replacement at their website for free.

on the road

the road north
Had to leave my gundams at home for a week or two for a business trip, and now I’m on the road towards the northern part of the Philippines. unfortunately decent internet connection in provincial areas are about as scarce as a two headed man eating asparagus. hopefully things would change as soon as I get to the more urbanized area.

Dark Saber
The Dark Saber by Revoltech was released just a bit after the release of the original Fate/Stay Night Saber figure. aside from the differnet paint job, it comes with an extra hair piece. the second of which has a eye visor, and both without the standing hair strand you’d see on the normal saber. ^^
Dark Saber Run
With the Revoltech patented frame, the Dark Saber is extremely posable.
Saber Battle
Saber fighting herself. ^^

GFF1001 RX-78-3 Gundam (G-3)

GFF1001
I couldn’t decide on which version of the 1/100 scale gundam fix figuration #1001 I wanted to get. but since had the word limited on the box, I decided to purchase the G-3 limited version. then again, it wouldn’t be the first time Bandai has suckered consumers by sticking a limited tag on a not so limited product. lol (think strike freedom full burst mode) ^^ however on the upside, either way I’d still get a good quality giant sized GFF out of it. ^^

PLDT sucks

August 09, 2007 By: marvin Category: Stray Thoughts 5 Comments →

I’m at home right now using my cellphone’s hsdpa connection since my home dsl seems to be experiencing selective browsing. strange enough all I can access on it is google. I tried doing a tracert on different url but as it turns out all I get after 3 or 4 hops are irritating timeouts. I guess all I wanted to say is PLDT SUCKS!!! they suck more than ten thousand hoovers or a Twister. and they stink more than all the crap in a sewage drain pipe.
