I was watching “How I met your Mother” yesterday and I came across this scene when “Barney” showed a presentation on his laptop. So what is so cool about this scene? Well, before he did the presentation, he shouted “Marshall, lights!”. Then when the lights are off, he opened his laptop and the presentation was projected to the wall? Now do you get it? Yep! Barney’s laptop has a built in projector!

You’ve heard of notebooks with built-in modem, built-in camera, built-in fingerprint scanner, but I bet you’ve never heard of a built-in projector. At first I thought that this was just some fake scene. But hey when I googled “home dlp projector” built in laptops, a lot of search results came out.

As it turns out, this is the newest trend in laptops especially for the business line notebooks. No need for a projector anymore ‘coz your laptop has it built in. Imagine how cool that is right?

Only a few days ’til Christmas and a few days plus three ’til my Dad’s birthday. I usually give him his birthday gift in advance so that it will also serve as my Christmas gift. So right now, I am looking for great christmas gift ideas for him.

Hmm… let me see…
My Dad likes Swiss knives, laser pointers, Bluetooth headsets, NFL for Xbox, etc. However I think he has ‘em all already. The only thing I know he wants but does not have it yet is a Viper. But of course, only Randy Gage can buy that car.

Anyhow, I wonder. What if I just give him a gift certificate at Hooters? I know he’ll love that. I am just not sure if Mom would not kill me. Hmm… Think think.

Aha! I wonder if I bought him a Keg?! That way he could invite friends over and drink booze all they want. But then again, I am just not sure if Mom would not kill me.

AHA! I got it. I will just buy Mom a week long hotel accommodation. That way I give my Dad the best gift… a Hall Pass.

I went passed the DIY Store (not the adult shop but the hardware store) and noticed a big sign saying: “metal detectors on sale“.
I thought, why would anyone need a metal detector right?
And so I went home, unpacked my things and turned on the TV to watch the news.
“Headlines: Woman shoots Ex-Boyfriend inside a mall”. I went “what the ..”. That was the same mall I went from earlier! As expected, the mall security was blamed for this because they did not have metal detectors on each entrance to detect Firearms brought by customers.
So there’s the answer to my question “why would anyone want a metal detector”. Come to think of it, I just might consider getting one now to install in my office. I just hope it is still on sale after what happened. Ya know, higher demand from publicity.

When I was young I had all sorts of crazy dreams about jobs that I doubt anyone else considered.

I had a lot of things I wanted to accomplish when I was young and I couldn’t really pick a good job for my future self, just yet. I was greatly influenced by my parents and my siblings.

Believe it or not, I wanted to be a Metro Aid when I was four. I asked my mom what kind of job would be to sweep places all day, because apparently I was obsessed with sweeping things. She answered that, and I suddenly looked forward to being a Metro Aid.

After a short while I got bored with sweeping so I decided I’d be a nun, and then a military officer, and then take Recreational Therapist Jobs. Don’t ask, because I don’t even remember how I went there.

Well at least now I found my way, I decided on something that I really loved, the wonderful world of computers. What kind of crazy dreams did you have when you were young?
