Do you remember the movie “Face Off� I’ve watched that movie several times years ago and I find that a very good movie indeed. Castor Troy (played by Nicolas Cage) who plays the role of a terrorist switches faces with an FBI agent (played by John Travolta). The face transplant has just become a reality, according to the news I first saw today at Chicago Tribune.
The recipient of the face transplant is Connie Culp, who lost the midsection face from a gunshot in 2004. Her old gunshot face wasn’t a pretty sight.
While I was browsing over the web, I saw this old news at Physorg.com about that floating water bridge phenomenon. That floating water bridge was discovered by Elmar Fuchs and his team. The floating water bridge is generated with the help of high-voltage electricity: this is where water creates a long stream – these scientists had noted that the bridge could get as long as 25 millimeters.
I got this video that shows this interesting floating water bridge phenomenon. These scientists will still have to uncover the secrets of this incident. These wise guys think that “electrostatic charges on the surface of the water cause the water molecules to become highly ordered and form a microstructure that will remain stable.†For now we could all just be content to watch this one while those physicists try to figure out why this happens.

Are you familiar with Yahoo’s Geocities? I had once tried out their site when I was still out from college and still learning HTML basics in one of the computer schools around the city. Yahoo’s Geocities was one of the first websites that I’ve tried out. I tried making some personal web pages that are hand-coded in HTML and uploaded these on the site. During that time, free web servers have one catch: they always run advertisements on the site.
The reason I discontinued using Geocities is that they had that awful pop-up when I load my page. I remember seeing a Geocities sidebar which consumed space on my 800×600 computer screen. I found better web hosts without any pop-ups and had minimal advertisements.
Over time, it is now common to see a number of web hosts offered free without any advertisements. Most web hosts offer more than the FTP functionality: there are now scripts that can be run to host a blog, an e-commerce website, or even a simple website built with a site builder. continue reading »
If you had been an avid follower of this blog, I had been writing some sponsored reviews in this blog every now and then. I am not limited to a single paid review site though, but one of the places where I get my technology-related sponsored reviews is at SocialSpark – and they got plenty of them in different flavors: blog posts, sponsorship, affiliates and CPCs.
One of the new changes that I like in SocialSpark is their CPC campaigns. I noticed that each click pays more than what I normally earn in Google Adsense. In addition to that, I am not limited to displaying CPCs only in my blogs – I got both Facebook and Twitter, and SocialSpark provides the necessary links for me to display those ads in two Social Networks.
I’ve tried posting out technology-related CPC links right here in this blog, and in Twitter and Facebook too. So far, I’ve earned more from both this blog and Twitter, but not much on Facebook. I guess it is because I’m not too actively involved in Facebook (but I am not simply posting out sponsored links either). However the earnings I got from promoting tech-related products or services are not really that much – I still need to learn and figure out how to get the most out from CPC clicks.
If you are a blogger who loves to write about technology as well as earn money from blogs, then be sure to head out to SocialSpark – they already got plenty of technology-related opportunities up for grabs.
