Wake Me Up When September Ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

(from GREEN DAY's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" )

Itchy

She is rocking the damn place. Another concert I couldn’t go and have fun. From my home I can hear all with audience singing along. Makin me itch.

Try searching the word "failure" on Google.

It happened last year for the word "miserable failure" too.

Googlebombing 'failure'
9/16/2005 12:54:00 PM
Posted by Marissa Mayer, Director of Consumer Web Products

If you do a Google search on the word [failure] or the phrase [miserable failure], the top result is currently the White House’s official biographical page for President Bush. We've received some complaints recently from users who assume that this reflects a political bias on our part. I'd like to explain how these results come up in order to allay these concerns.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

Scream

လြင့္ေမ်ာတယ္
ဒုကၡရဲ ့ဝဲဩဃမွာ
ဆူညံျခင္းဟာ တိတ္ဆိတ္ျခင္း
တိတ္ဆိတ္ျခင္းဟာ ဆူညံျခင္း
ဗေလာင္ဆူေနတဲ့ သက္ျငိမ္မွာ
အသံတိတ္ ေအာ္ဟစ္ေနမိ
သန္းေခါင္ထက္ညမနက္ဆိုတာမွားတယ
ညဟာ နက္သထက္နက္လာခဲ့ျပီ။

September 18

Since September 18, 1988
or since 1962?
in Burma...

Zombie

Another head hangs lowly, 
Child is slowly taken. 
And the violence caused such silence, 
Who are we mistaken? 

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. 
In your head, in your head they are fighting, 
With their tanks and their bombs, 
And their bombs and their guns. 
In your head, in your head, they are crying... 

In your head, in your head, 
Zombie, zombie, zombie, 
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, 
In your head, 
Zombie, zombie, zombie? 
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou... 

Another mother's breakin', 
Heart is taking over. 
When the vi'lence causes silence, 
We must be mistaken. 

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. 
In your head, in your head they're still fighting, 
With their tanks and their bombs, 
And their bombs and their guns. 
In your head, in your head, they are dying... 

In your head, in your head, 
Zombie, zombie, zombie, 
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head, 
In your head, 
Zombie, zombie, zombie? 
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Satellite imagery

Let me give two links for Google Earth users. First one is Google Earth Hacks and second one is Google Sightseeing. Check them out!!! And if you like Google Earth, you should also try this World wind developed by NASA. About World wind Kate Russell from BBC wrote:

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre has produced a set of fascinating animations that demonstrate a variety of subjects such as hurricane dynamics and seasonal changes across the globe. Just like Google Earth, though, the real draw is the graphics. For example, have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly through the Grand Canyon or across the Swiss Alps? World Wind uses NASA's Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data to allow you to zoom in from orbit and actually fly into and through famous landmarks and geographical wonders. Its full functions are way too complex to cover here so I will give you the best tip possible to get you started: launch the application and click Help followed by Key Chart. Be sure to explore all the different rotational and zoom options for the absolute best results.

Ohhh... don't ask me. I haven' try it yet. I'm quite busy these days and trying to run such kind of application would be time consuming on a antique PC like mine. And... Here are two links I took to compare Google and MSN online satellite images. . http://virtualearth.msn.com/default.aspx?cp=34...  tip: close "welcome" box to get wider view. . http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.031465,-118...

Space toilet

Do you know how toilets at space work? This page at NASA website has a short video clip explaining how it works. The video is very amusing and funny too. Don’t miss it.

Whatever it is, I don’t think I will be able to go on that toilet. Please don’t send me to space!!!!!!! Please… But some people might like it. You know… Vacuum underneath would make you go easier. If you are interested in it, you can make it for your own easily. Here is a hint. Use the vacuum cleaner and… the rest is easy.

The backstroke of the west

Have you seen this before? It’s so funny. I bet you would laugh out loud if you see. It is English subtitle found on pirated star wars movie DVD. It happened when Chinese subtitle which is translated from English is translated back to English. So, very awkward words came out. Even the title of the movie is wrong. The title becomes: “Star War - The third gathers - The backstroke of the west” Enjoy the show… Screenshots 1 . Screenshots 2 . Dialogs . ohhhh I like this translation:

padme: "it's only because i'm so in love . . . " ("i let me become the beauty to your love")
