Playing Piano in the Air

Have you tried playing piano in the air? My question may sound silly especially that when we say playing piano, normally, the one playing touches the piano keys for everyone to hear the music. But did you know that you can now play the piano without touching anything? All you need to do is move your hands in the air. It's a new piano called AirPiano, designed by Omer Yosha. Above the AirPiano is a virtual matrix of keys and faders, each assigned with MIDI messages and ready to be triggered. Watch the video below to see how it works.



The AirPiano is still in its prototype phase and its concept of a virtual matrix might eventually be used for other applications and purposes.

Most Prolific Mom

I wonder how it feels to be holding your 18th child. I'm not saying, 18-year-old child. I'm definitely saying the 18th child born in the family. I sure wouldn't know and I think I will never know especially that I don't have a plan of delivering 18 kids. I was just asking because the most prolific mom, a Romanian immigrant in British Columbia, recently gives birth to 18th child. Wow! She's 44 years old, Livia Lonce and her husband name is Alexander Lonce, their oldest is now 23 years old. It's great to see a happy picture of their family. I can't imagine how it is like, it could be happy seeing bunch of kids, like seeing ripples of joy. On the other hand, it could be very difficult raising kids of different personalities and moods.

That would be so nice, don't you think?

According to the doctor, both kids have definitely the same father. Watch the video below.

The competition to win the world's most coveted crown was broadcasted live. Last year's (2007) Miss Universe Riyo Mori of Japan has passed the title to 22-year-old Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza. She was also my bet. I learned that she also had been the favorite of many pageant watchers and even on odds makers at Bookmakers and BetUS. I must say that I also liked Miss Mexico Elisa Najera answer in the final question. Miss Universe 2008 first runner up is Miss Colombia Taliana Vargas.

Free Image Watermarking Online

If you have original pictures and images posted online, it's more prone to be ripped off and be copied or used again by other people online. One way of protecting your images from unauthorized use is by adding text or images.

Most online people use photo softwares . In my case, I normally just add text or my blog URL in my pictures using Microsoft Photo Suite. I don't have Photoshop software. It's good to know that there are some free online services that you can use to add watermarks to your images. This would be great to all bloggers and online posters that do not have photo programs. I just learned about this couple of days ago, and I thought I'd share it here.

Phishing Incident

I experienced Phishing attempt today and I'd like to share it here, to warn those that haven't experience this stuff.

If you are not familiar what Phishing is, it is a criminally fraudulent process. It occurs when a malicious web site imitate a legitimate company or web site, and trick you in order for them to get important informations like usernames, personal details, accounts, passwords, or credit card numbers. Fraudster usually sends emails and make it look like it's from the real company .

I am a member of Paypal, an online money service that allows anyone to pay and get paid online. I got an email today and when I opened it I noticed right away that it came from accounts@paypaI.com. I noticed the wrong spelling, they used capital letter i to make it look like an l and make the word readable as paypal and I also noticed that it is being sent to an undisclosed-recipient. (I am normally keen on details). They could have written my email address. Don't you think?

I suspected right away that it's a Phishing fraud. I target my mouse on the link they provided, the link should be targeting http://www.paypal.com but it didn't, once the link is clicked, it will direct to a different website. I clicked it anyway, and Firefox built-in Phishing protection has warned me of the said web forgery. I think this is a really cool built in. I noticed the phishing right away but what if I didn't? what if I wasn't using Firefox? what if Firefox doesn't have that protection? I would be in trouble if they'll be able to get into my Paypal account. I don't have big bucks in my account but hey, were talking about real money here and important informations.

If you are a yahoomail user, you must have notice that yahoo now have a personalized sign-in seals feature built to protect password theft. I am using that service, it's free anyway and my emails contains bunch of important passwords from online companies I am affiliated in.

Be careful of Phishing. These fraud sites are masquerading as the real web site to fool users. You can read more information about Phishing and report Phising incidents at antiphishing.org and another good resource is the Wikipedia Phishing page. It doesn't hurt to be aware and take extra precautions.
