It was a cold and wet Chinese New Year.
It rained the whole time. Temperature dropped to 9 degrees. It was such a bad holiday.
The only good thing I got out of this was good sleep.

Not the Sony Ericsson, but the BenQ T51.
I started at NTD 3,500. No sell.
Lowered to NTD 3,400. No sell.
Throw in a phone chain. No sell.
Lowered to NTD 3,100. No sell.
Finally, at NTD 3,000. Sold.
This tells us, BenQ phones are really cheap.

I took this image on Mingchuang bridge, Neihu.
Here are some more, larger versions.

New LCD Monitor!
Just a few days ago I got a new laptop, and today I got a new monitor!
A BenQ X2200W, a 22 inch wide. It is supposed to be the current top of the range LCD monitor we have to offer.
Again, this is a sample unit.
Since I cannot bring it home, I am using it at work.
I am located on the 12th floor, but the screen is so big that people can see what I have on screen from the 13th floor.
Anyway, the rule still follows. I just hope people can forget and let me keep this monitor for good.

New Laptop!
Well, not mine, but a sample unit.
I am kind of surprised, as this is the first time I get a sample laptop to take home and play around with. I just hope they forget so I can keep it forever.
Anyway, it’s a BenQ Q41.
Design is rather ordinary, but the main feature is not the inside, but the outside…
Oh, what is this? A second screen on the outside? It is actually called Windows Sideshow. Personally, I find this more of a gimmick than something that is actually useful. Again, I have to test it out to find out more.
This is only the third laptop in the whole world to have this feature, so as you can guess how unpopular this Sideshow feature has to offer.
Anyway, I just hope they forget so I get to keep this forever…

Don’t Ever Fly with China Airline
Don’t even fly with China Airline. They are shit.
A China Airline 747 departed from Taoyuan, Taiwan, exploded just minutes after it landed in Okinawa. The engine and the rear of the plane was on fire, and the flight attendant even said it was “normal” and not to worry.
I always knew China Airline was shit, but I didn’t know they were shit and unprofessional. Anyway, I never fly with them anyway, and I never will.

The last title sounds quite interesting though, mmmmmm…
