Blogger's block....

Image hosted by Photobucket.comI've been feeling kinda down the past couple of days. It's no surprise really, considering that I have always been the broody type. Perhaps it's due to a mixture of stress, boredom, bad news, the vacillating weather, and other negativities which have been gnawing at my leg lately.

I've also reached a "blogger's block" of sorts. I somehow can't think of anything worth blogging about. Politics? I've done that to death so many times already. While Philippine politics happen to be one of my interests, I've gotten tired of it lately. Seems like we've been going around in circles. A new witness surfaces, gives testimony, then retracts. I don't know about you, but I think I've had my fill of these controversies, at least for now. Maybe later.

Personal experiences then? Haven't had any blog-worthy experiences lately. Things have been quite routine the past couple of days. Of course, it's safe and secure being stuck in a routine, but it can be tediously boring. While I've come across certain topics in the course of dealing with my friends and colleagues which would nice to blog about, unfortunately the semi-public nature of my blog (this blog tends to be frequented by my friends and colleagues), means that I have to defer blogging about those subjects, at least until the "heat" has passed.

How about technology? Gadgets, gizmos, games? Done that a number of times in my blog. These topics seem to have a limited audience though. Not many dyed-in-the-wool techies out there it seems, well, at least within immediate reach of my blog. I've always wanted to host a discussion group about the latest trends in PC hardware, such as CPUs, video cards, motherboards, etc. I haven't bumped into many bloggers as interested about this stuff as I am, so I guess I'll have to put this idea on hold for now.

I've also blogged a lot about music in my past entries. From old songs to new, music videos, chords and bass lines. I haven't found time to practice my guitar playing lately. For the moment it seems that I've lost interest. I need another topic to freshen up this blog.

How about movies? I would if I could, I just haven't any seen any new movies lately. I still have a huge stack of unwatched DVDs. Maybe one of these days. :-)

History then. Or trivia. Oh, I'm just not in the mood. Dang.

I thought about blogging about art again. I haven't posted an art-related entry in months now. I probably should. I already have this painting in mind. Just watch this space, I'll be putting up that post real soon.

I guess that's it then. I'm just typing my very thoughts at this moment, lo and behold, I already have this blog entry for today. :-) Any ideas about something you'd like me to post an entry about in the future? No topic is too silly, or too serious. If I can write about it, I will. Suggestions? Requests? Just let me know. :-)

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19...

Peddling Snake Oil - The Khaos Super Turbo Charger

Image
Photos courtesy of Ghosthunter If you drive or are at least into cars, no doubt you've probably heard at one time or another about the Khaos Super Turbo Charger . It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe...
