1000 Free Java Games
2007-06-22 21:06:00
Java Game s ? What kind of game is that? I thought it was the game that originally from Java, my island. I found it while googling by type a keyword : game. I found the result, oh I see, it's a kind of game for cellphone. Superbike, Manchester United, Le Mans, and Master Blaster are the example of this kind of games that I found on Dada.net, a mobile game content provider. Too bad it's only for Indonesian, since this site use Bahasa Indonesia as their primary language, (but this site has a good strategy by put their ads on Google, a number one advertising online machine). For the worldwide maybe you can try www.mobileplayground.co.uk, gallery.mobile9.co, or www.java.com (remind me to review about these site, later).Java Games? Playing game in a cellphone.

Everyone could play it at anytime anywhere. So, this kind of gam...

In fact that I've been learning about blogging, earn some money by blogging, develop my ability of managing my online business, built the network with some friends, and other activities for last two weeks still not bring any good results. It's a process for me to be better, to reach the better life.For last three days, I put my King Tiger models on my desk. Sometimes I just stop working, then playing with that toy. Try to get some ideas to boost my earning by blogging. It's all quite. Not a single idea came up i...

Don't Open Your Milk Factory in Kuta Beach
2007-05-31 05:09:00
Just this morning, on the back of a SUV there's a sticker "Don't Open Your Milk Factory in Kuta Beach ". A simple designed sticker, lines that represent woman boobs. Can you imagine that? Do you understand what that's mean? "Milk Factory" here refer to boobs. How it could be? In our language and perceptions woman's boob is a milk factory (because it's use to babyfeeds). Quite a sarcastic and vulgar humor isn't it? That kind of sticker was made by Joger, one of creative t-shirt factory in Bali, Indonesia. So, it's all make sense that the humor and the prints content a local habit or terms.What I'm trying to write here isn't about the sarcastic, the sex-content humor, or a creativity. It's about a local content. For some Indonesian, there's obviously that they would understand what the humor is all about. But I wonder if the foreigner see and read that "Don't Open Your Milk Factory in Kuta Beach". Would they understand the meaning of it? Oh, by the way "Don't Open Your Mil...

This is 2nd time this morning I found "user unfriendly" site or blog (What a day to starting to?). In my regular visits to another friend in MyBlogLog.com. *Hunt ing for Bargains, that's the blog's title. Finding you the best deals because I simply love to shop!! Says the headline. It's about shopping. Shopping for the good and branded items. The blog's page is merely more like an online catalog, and most of them were linked to Amazon.com, the most top online shopping site.I don't know what lisegarneau intend to make a layout like that. Probably just want to keep all of the goods so she will be easy to navigate sometimes. Or maybe she was just too busy too pimp her blog. What's really bothering me is that there's no navigate through this blog e.g. archives or category. That's really not good for a site, even a simple site. I am not sure if this site could get lots of traffic. It's not interesting at all. How about you? What do you think about this site?"Hi lisegarneau, where...

Can I Go Play There?
2007-05-12 16:18:00
Brain wash! Brain wash! Brain wash! Is when I pick my little nephew up from his Play group. On a motorbike we're always through the same way home. Nearby his Playgroup there's a giant mall that been in progress. Guess what? Everytime we pass that site he always asking me, "Uncle, that Tows Skwer* is about to finish, can I go play there?".Aaarrrggh! Always the same question that I always have to answer too.So five meters before that place, my mind were always tingling and then I start to count from 1 to 10. There he goes, on 4 or 5 he asking that question again,"Uncle, that Tows Skwer is about to finish, can I go play there?". You know what he means go and play there? Timezone or kind a game station."Uncle, that Tows Skwer is about to finish, can I go play there?". It's not that I hate that question. Moreover, I try to understand what's in this little fella's mind. Children in age 3 - 5 years old is in the phase where they were always questioning about anything. And they won't s...

But I choose English as primary language because I want to share it to the world, and the universal language that I believe will do is English. So, that was just a simple thing.

At that time she didn't enjoy this toy at all. But now when she is two years old she really enjoy this toy. She begin to play role, make a fantasy, set up the story with the characters.

It becomes popular for 1 year late, since our economic situations are become hard. Work as a pedicab driver didn't give much income. So they try to modified their pedicab to something more useful.

Kids Ditch Traditional Toys for High-tech, Electronic Gadgets

Hope useful as a reference for next business to be...By Sarah Price, October 23, 2005 - The Sun-HeraldTraditional toys are being shunned by children at a younger age in favour of high-tech, electronic gadgets, industry and business analysts have found. A report prepared by Ibisworld Australia on the toy and game industry says that, while traditional toys and games still account for 60 per cent of the market, the popularity of electronic and video games has doubled in five years, increasing from 20 per cent in 1998-99 to 40 per cent in 2003-04.And that trend was only expected to continue, say the analysts, who prepared the report, released this month. One toy company has even reported a massive 1300 per cent growth in the sales of toys in its child electronic category in the past year alone. A spokeswoman for Hasbro Australia said that was partly because the company had identified it as a major growth area and introduced several new products to cater for the expected demand.Among the...
