Caliente!!! It is sooo hot...

I know I live in a tropical country but the weather just keep getting hotter and hotter everyday. What is it today? 37 degrees Celsius? (98.6 Fahrenheit). 

It is so hot today that you can make an omelet under the sun. 

It is so hot today that that the ice cream van melted right to the ground.








But you can always go to the beach and enjoy the sun.

Ahhh Flowers...

Don't you just love them? Taking photos of them at a macro level exposes new worlds to see and wonder.

This one was taken at Hiroshima's Botanical Garden. I bet the bees are aching to land on this succulent and luscious thing.

Java Programming

Today I started learning Java programming. It has always been my goal to learn one of those computer languages which will help me develop software that people will like to use. I wanted  to learn C language and all its variants (C#, C++, etc.) because they are the most commonly used but then I opted for Java as I know this has the future written on it as they say.

I have downloaded books and compiler software to aid me in learning them easily. Reading the books was what I intended as the way to learn Java. But then I found this guy in Youtube who has tons of tutorial videos on Java programming. His name is Bucky and he goes by the call name "thenewboston" (I guess he is from Boston). His way of teaching if nice and easy that even if you don't have any prior knowledge of Java or any programming language you will still be at home once you see his videos. So anybody interested in learning Java, see the videos of this thenewboston guy.

Who Needs a RIM Blackberry Pearl?

RIM announced the new Blackberry Pearl which is targeted for mass audience (meaning something cheap). Who needs this when in a couple of months Apple 4G will be rolled out in the market pushing down the 3G and 3GS for mass market appeal.

This model though will have a traditional keypad unlike most smartphones today which have touch user interface.

Well I guess many people out there still want those keypads where typing 100 letters a minute is a zich.

Coolness in the Air

I just feel the coolness of this shot. A purple flower on a green cool background makes the petals float on air.

This was taken on one of the malls in Hiroshima, Japan. The raw picture did not really look this cool and nice. It was when I finished processing it by enhancing the lights and colors did the final output as seen on this picture came out.

Flower shots are really great when taken in macro. And more will be shown in this blog in the days to come.
