“Hi buddy, I’m here.” new Facebook Place. It’s basically GEO locations tag where are you. A bit of dangerous because most of the time the undos will be either Home or Office. Privacy issue but interesting features to some who don’t mind at all.

As for me, ya I will most probably use it but not all the time. It is time to upgrade my Facebook app for iPhone.

I’m so excited this morning when I was on the bed and suddenly a “light when on” with new solution. This is exciting. But before that, I need to get couple of technical books for references. I quickly jump up from my bed and exciting knowing that I have iPad and get the books right away. I searched for the books on iBook – zero results. I tried couple more terms but no luck. What the! Zero technical books in iBook So I searched on Amazon.com kindle ebook instead and found them. A bit of disappointed to Apple iBook.

Wide Angle Len for Canon 7D

David Chen — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:46:14 +0000

Which one do I get?

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 ?

I’m actually leaning on Tokina because of f/2.8 and heard a lot of good thing about it too. But Canon cover more, wider and and longer. Then continue with Canon 24-105 f/1.4

Horrible default font size on Mac Mail

David Chen — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 02:31:49 +0000

One thing I really don’t understand why the hack the default Mail font size so tiny. It is like font size 6. After months of using it, I couldn’t take any more because more and more my colleague email coming without right font so Mail switch using default size. After long search, I finally found the solution.

Close Mail if it’s running
Open Terminal
Then type following command:
defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 13
Start Mail program

That’s it! Problem solved.

Interesting feet machine

David Chen — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 05:41:00 +0000

I was at Walmart and saw this latest gimmick machine to measure your feet pressure point and what shoes pad to get. Interesting machine and to see the pressure point. It took about 1 minute or so to get to final result. Suggested size for me 130. But each pack cost $49. I can get a new sport shoe on that price. Hem …. Does it really work?
