MasterCard and its new feature: Paypass (or Just Tap and Go)

1 Citizen — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 08:51:29 +0000

Are you one of MasterCard users around the world ? Are you cheering like me when see they are the major sponsor of the UEFA championships and other major soccer (or football in Europe) tournaments ? Have you recently received a pamphlet in your mail introducing the new feature (and always the new feature is the best they have) of Paypass, where you only need to pass your Master-Card by the machine and it will do all the work ? No need for signature and it will be more than easy to handle a card. But, have you ever wondered about a security reach this new technology might introduce ? Watch this video talking about the new technology and how it can hacked.

Why not watch another Master Card advertisement to persuade us to use the new technology ?

Your decision, use it or not, do it wisely.Similar Posts:

Visit to Long Beach, California

I have been to Long Beach, California this summer. We had a taxi ride from LAX (LA international airport) to long beach. We have paid more than 70 bucks for this ride. So the videos should be good.

Lighthouse Park

1 Citizen — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:27:00 +0000

Last weekend, and more specifically on June 12th, I and some of my friends have visited a park in west vancouver called Lighthouse park. It has a nice trail, which is categorized as an easy one and nice views. The name of the park is based on the fact that there is a lighthouse there, prompting ships and boats where the land begins in order to keep their distance and not crash.
It was a sunny day, lots of people had been there for a walk or sun bathing. There was also an amateur model was being taken picture of.
I had taken so many pictures there. The one I really like is the one below, I make a panorama picture out of images I took. The image is almost 2 megabytes in size, so you need to have patience or high speed of internet to view it completely.

Seabus Journey

1 Citizen — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:00:12 +0000

You should have heard about Seabus if you have been to Vancouver or planning to. Seabus is a bus moving on the Sea (actually Pacific Ocean) and transfers people from North Shore (North Vancouver) to Downtown Vancouver. The capacity of Seabus is huge. It is so huge that at the time of Vancouver 2010 Olympics it was compared to the capacity of an airplane and professionals were discussing the issue of security and terrorist attacks on that.

Anyway, I got a video while sitting in Seabus. It is a view while siting in Seabus and looking outside and watching ocean. It was a sunny day and hope you enjoy the view and scenery.

Simpsons intro with featuring Tik Tok of Kesha

I love this intro by Simpsons, especially where in the school bus nelson (if I am not mistaken) is singing the song. Can you imagine Lisa Simpson to be a Kesha one day ?

This is a mirrored version (probably for copyright)

This is a version with low sound quality (and mirrored )

Job Hunting

1 Citizen — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:07:07 +0000

These days, after my graduation, I am trying to look for a job. I have been to BC Technology site and other sites. Not so successful in finding the perfect job that I liked. There are jobs posted but there are no many entry level jobs available. I am looking for a programmer type of job in C++ or Java. I also am looking for PHP / web developer. I am not a big PHP expert but as my past experiences I have done a lot with PHP building up my sites and others.
The trend in the job market that I’ve seen was about having more people employed as a contract position in big companies like SAP. There are trying to hire people on contract based job and not on a regular bases.Similar Posts:

There will be also some changed to the theme of the site in future. Not sure what theme I pick but this theme is too old and I wanna change.Similar Posts:

Ocean’s club

1 Citizen — Sun, 30 May 2010 14:15:49 +0000

This Saturday night we have been to ocean’s club. The only club in west and north Vancouver, there is actually no clubs in north Vancouver. As we used to get into lineups and wait a long time till we get into clubs, we hurried and get there around 10:30, oops it doesn’t sound a lot soon to you, but it is a best time record for me. However, there wasn’t any need for that much haste. There wasn’t a lineup at the door and no charges. You expect more from a club / lounge at that time of the week. There was a free photo booth there, called horitons (or pixtars) photo booth. It took free photos and probably post them online. (I’ll update the post with the photo booth site when I find it.) (link: pixtars)

The atmosphere was great too, there were some people around and as we get closer to the closing time the crowd was getting higher and started to dance and giggle. If you are a crazy clubber, ocean’s club will not be a good choice for you. You don’t find crazy people but more classic type of guys and gals there. There won’t be a cover charge and no lineups, ones I am always concerned about.

You can find more about the ocean’s club at this link. It address and phone are as follow:
