Haven't taken a walk down the East Coast Park in ages, but since family day was held there and the weather was really cool and nice though a little wet, I decided to take a walk back and take a few pictures with my new iPhone . The pictures have a nice little black border effect due to the case I think. I think they look pretty good for handphone pictures.

The walk started here. Somewhere just outside Macdonalds.

The sea view is now littered with these ships. I don't really like them. They make the water feel dirty.

This is one memorable tower. It's been there since my childhood and I swear I have tons of photos of this place.

Road Safety Park. Interestingly, I've only been in there once. Ever...

This is where I decided it's getting late and I should grab a cab home instead. Half an hour and I only reached...

The side of Carl's Junior and Sushi Tei etc...

End of East Coast walking and testing the new phone camera.

The new iPhone 4 comes with the 4.0.2 firmware which cannot be jailbroken on jailbreakme.com. Spent the evening trying to get the 4.0.1 firmware off the internet but can't seem to connect to any working file server. Without jailbreaking my iPhone I won't be able to tether the 3G connection via Wifi to my iPad, also rendering my initial plan on having a Wifi model of the iPad half useless. Will be working on it. Will update when I find a way around it.

In 1935, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger devised an experiment where he puts a cat along with a vial of poison, which may be broken at random thus killing the cat, in a sealed room/box. When the box is sealed, the cat in the room can be thought to be simultaneously dead and alive hence creating the paradox when we know in fact the cat can only be either dead or alive.

Point is... in life most of the time until we open our box, our cat is both dead and alive. Been in a situation like this? I learnt about this in the Big Bang Theory first season which I watched last night.

Read this on mashable today. It's going to be a blast and finally a game worth playing. Having completed (getting stuck on a game bug) Heavy Mach 2, the game I'm on now is Dungeon Hunter. It's basically Diablo with the touch controller rather than the mouse and no multi-player capability and way less skill combos. Like most hack and slash games, usually 1 skill takes you 90% of the way, so no biggie.

Anyway here's an excerpt from the article on Starcraft 2 wonder is the multi-player is linked with the pc version and will pad players. All you know pad players might dominate the next WCG.

Playing popular strategy game Starcraft 2 using an iPhone or even an iPad sounds like a usability nightmare, but developer Daniel Hellerman is planning to make it happen regardless of the potential issues.Hellerman is working on an iOS application called the Starcraft 2 Gameboard that will let you fully control Starcraft 2 from your iPhone or iPad, complete with "mini-map control, detailed unit statistics, and easy touch access to the game's most important hotkeys and macros,"
