A Japanese lingerie maker (Wacoal) calls female loincloth underwear the "ultimate liberation item" for women. Toshi Maeda reports.

*Cool. But probabaly not a good idea during that time of the month bah. The VPL may also be a concern.

**Think it would cool to hang one up in the living room or where and tell your guest that its for wiping hands before telling them some bullshit about it being the loincloth of some dead guy from Japan. hee.

Women, Shopping and Uncle Ben.

BBC reported Shopping sprees linked to periods.

It could be true as the human body is affected by chemicals/hormones. I.e. treatment for depressions and some mental illness.

But then Uncle Ben put it the best :

"This guy, Flash Thompson, he probably deserved what happened. But just because you can beat him up, doesn't give you the right to. Remember: with great power comes great responsibility. "

Do your part, switch off your PC

Leaving PCs on overnight costs companies $2.8B a year By Jon Swartz, USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO — Even during an economic meltdown, when companies are scrambling to cut costs, businesses are wasting billions of dollars by leaving their PCs on at night.

U.S. organizations squander $2.8 billion a year to power unused machines, emitting about 20 million tons of carbon dioxide — roughly the equivalent of 4 million cars — according to a report to be released Wednesday.

About half of 108 million office PCs in the USA are not properly shut down at night, says the 2009 PC Energy Report, produced by 1E, an energy-management software company, and the non-profit Alliance to Save Energy. The report analyzed workplace PC power consumption in the USA, United Kingdom and Germany.

Wastefulness does not just affect a company's bottom line, it creates environmental concerns, the report says. If the world's 1 billion PCs were powered down just one night, it would save enough energy to light the Empire State Building — inside and out — for over 30 years, it says.

"Workers do not feel responsible for electricity bills at work, and some companies insist PCs remain on at night so they can be patched with software updates," says 1E CEO Sumir Karayi. He says 63% of employees surveyed said their companies should take more steps to save PC power.

"It is scary how much energy is wasted," says Michael Murphy, senior manager of global environmental affairs at Dell, a business partner and customer of 1E. It has used 1E software to efficiently manage its 50,000 PCs globally, saving about $1.8 million a year.

Simply shutting down PCs at night can save a company with 10,000 PCs over $260,000 a year and 1,871 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, the report says.

"PCs can be a tremendous drain on electricity," says Doug Washburn, an analyst at Forrester Research. "During a nine-hour workday, it isn't always in use because of lunch, meetings and other things."

The dead horse is flogging me.

Hmm. Been some time since i had updated this blog.

Few days ago, I wanted to start a Twitter account to record my thoughts but too lazy. This is due to the realisation that i'm using my facebook for similar purpose.

Hence I shall use this blog for this purpose. haha...
