Google Laser Beam Day!

Friday, May 16th, 2008

laser

Noticed the Google logo today?? I was cracking my head on what it and  finally i figured it out via a fellow bloggers site.

On this day (May 16), American physicist Theodore Harold Maiman fired the first laser beam at Hughes Research Laboratories.

According to NYT, this first laser shone with the brilliance of a million suns. Its beam spread less in one mile than a flashlight beam spreads when directed across the room.

Google is also celebrating the day with this new logo on their homepage. But were you able to recognize that this is Google logo ? I couldn’t.

Britain’s Got Talent

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Reality shows are the trend for a while now.Talent shows are of plenty and the famous ones being American Idol and many more. Have you heard of Britain’s got talent? Dude! If you haven’t trust me…Britain has got talent! The season 1 was awesome with the opera singing mobile phone sales man who bagged with his superb voice and this time around in season 2, the contestants are equally as good if not better!

The thing i like about this show is that it showcases the fresh raw talents.People who didn’t know that they are awesome .If you are a fan of American Idol its normally the other way around. People who think they can sing but actually crack glasses when they open their mouth in the name of singing!

Watch this video below.Andrew Johnson was the last act to appear on the programme. The 13 year-old Carlisle school boy had Amanda and Piers in tears with his clear-as-a-bell choirboy rendition of Pie Jesu.

Simply Brilliant!

Quake hits China

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

A 7.9 magnitude quake has hit the mountainous area of Sichuan province across much of China on Monday afternoon.Nearly 10,000 people were killed by the earthquake that hammered southwest China and 900 teenagers were buried under a collapsed three-storey school building in the Sichuan city of Dujiangyan.

More and more natural disasters seem to be hitting countries all over the world lately and some at much larger scales than we are used too as a race. Is this a sign of things to come? I sure hope not!
