Green Tokyo Gundam Project
In celebrating the 30th anniversary of popular anime Mobil Suit Gundam, engineers in Tokyo built a life-size, 1/1 scale model of a RX-78 Gundam robot (known as the Real G) at a park in Odaiba Island. The massive statue stands tall at 59 foot (18m) and features a remote-controllable head unit, 50 different light emitting units and 14 mist dispensers for visual effects and possibly, for watering the park lawn.

Will I Become a Blackberry Addict?
I got a new phone today; it uses this swanky mobile technology called 3G Network and I can now add posts to my blog and check your facebook updates while I am sitting on the john.

I’ll post again laterz on the mobile web.
