Get your jeans from Amazon.com!

Amazon.com just launched 'Denim Shop' which offer jeans from various brands like Levis, Quicksilver, Lee and many more. Personally, I have not purchased any clothing online before. But if it's the same brand and product, I may just place an order for my favourite jeans.

With Amazon's current promotion, you can return (shipping paid by Amazon) and get a full refund. Good news is U.S delivery addresses qualifies for free shipping. Orders outside U.S does not get free shipping. Too bad I'm not in the U.S or I'd place my orders this minute!

CoolerMaster 390 watt Power Supply

Just bought this CoolerMaster 390 watt power supply to replace an iCute 450 watt power supply which lasted 7 years!

This new power supply is for my AMD Sempron system with a DVD-ROM, LAN card, Sound Blaster Live sound card and AGP graphics card. Anything more than 390 watt for this setup is overkill.

How much power is enough?

I use this online power supply calculator to estimate and get a general idea how much power I need for a system.

Here are some photos of the CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus 390 watt.

Some Papercraft Fun

My five year old son spends a lot of time with his huge collection of little die-cast car models when he's at home. Instead of asking him not to play with them, he'll be making paper models with my help! The paper models can and hopefully introduce better roleplay, let him learn and recognize words.

So, I went ahead and downloaded some paper models designed by Hiroji Chiba. Took out the colors and printed only the outlines on the models, so my son could color them. Models are scaled down to match the size of his die-cast cars. In this case it was 1:78 scale.

Here's his first proper model of a hospital. His other model which is a fire station got destroyed because his little sister took on a role as godzilla and squashed it flat!
