:: Welcome to my online journal, which is for notes on the website, life, thoughts(both literal and graphical) and everything after.
Also, for that many of you have suggested in your emails to set up a blog for communication purpose. Now you have it.
I will upload new entries often so feel free to bump in anytime. Thanks for being here.

04.16.2008 ---> NEED MORE SPACE Out of mind, out of this world. • Want to know the world's busiest chain store Seven-Eleven (7-Eleven), Burger King, McDonald's, Starbucks...find them here: Most crowded chain stores in the world. On AOL Money and Business news.• These are unusual architectures: Houses in unbelievable shapes. Larger than Life While not being an actual perfect vacuum, outer space contains such sparse matter that it can be effectively thought of as one empty bucket. The pressure of interstellar space is on the order of 10 pPa (1×10-11 Pa). For comparison, the pressure at sea level (as defined in the unit of atmospheric pressure) is about 101 kPa (1×105 Pa), or about 10 quadrillion times greater. Contrary to popular belief, a person suddenly exposed to the vacuum would not explode, freeze to death (space may be cold, but it's mostly vacuum and can hardly transfer heat, so the main temperature worry for space suits is how to get rid of naturally generated body heat), or die from boiling blood, but would take a short while to die by asphyxiation (suffocation). Air would immediately leave the lungs due to the enormous pressure gradient. Any oxygen dissolved in the blood would empty into the lungs to try to equalize the partial pressure gradient. Once the deoxygenated blood arrived at the brain, death would quickly follow. Water vapor would also rapidly evaporate off eye of the cornea from exposed areas such as the lungs, and mouth, cooling the body. Some fascinating facts: Milestones on the way to space - • Sea level - 101.3 kPa (1 atm; 1.013 bar; 29.92 in Hg; 760 mm Hg; 14.5 lbf/in²) of atmospheric pressure • 3.9 km (12,500 ft)(2.4 miles) - FAA requires supplemental oxygen for aircraft pilots in unpressurized aircraft.[3] • 5.0 km (16,400 ft)(3.1 miles) - 50 kPa of atmospheric pressure. • 5.3 km (17,400 ft)(3.3 miles) - Half of the Earth's atmosphere is below this altitude. • 8.0 km (26,200 ft)(5 miles) - Death zone for human climbers. • 8.85 km (29,035 ft)(5.5 miles) - Summit of Mount Everest, the highest mountain on Earth (26 kPa). • 16 km (52,500 ft)(9.9 miles) - Pressurized cabin or pressure suit required. • 18 km (59,100 ft)(11.2 miles) - Boundary between troposphere and stratosphere. • 20 km (65,600 ft)(12.4 miles) - Water at room temperature boils without a pressurized container. (The popular notion that bodily fluids would start to boil at this point is false because the body generates enough internal pressure to prevent it). • 24 km (78,700 ft)(14.9 miles) - Regular aircraft pressurization systems no longer function. • 32 km (105,000 ft)(19.9 miles) - Turbojets no longer function. • 34.7 km (113,740 ft)(21.5 miles) - Altitude record for manned balloon flight. • 45 km (147,600 ft)(28 miles) - Ramjets no longer function. • 50 km (164,000 ft)(31 miles) - Boundary between stratosphere and mesosphere. • 80.5 km (264,000 ft)(50 miles) - Boundary between mesosphere and thermosphere. USA definition of space flight. • 100 km (328,100 ft)(62.1 miles) - Kármán line , defining the limit of outer space according to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Aerodynamic surfaces ineffective due to low atmospheric density. Lift speed generally exceeds orbital velocity. Turbopause. • 120 km (393,400 ft)(74.6 miles) - First noticeable atmospheric drag during re-entry from orbit. • 200 km (124.2 miles) - Lowest possible orbit with short-term stability (stable for a few days). • 307 km (190.8 miles) - STS-1 mission orbit. • 350 km (217.4 miles) - Lowest possible orbit with long-term stability (stable for many years). • 360 km (223.7 miles) - ISS average orbit, which still varies due to drag and periodic boosting.390 km (242.3 miles) - Mir mission orbit. • 440 km (273.4 miles) - Skylab mission orbit. • 587 km (364.8 miles) - HST orbit. • 690 km (428.7 miles) - Boundary between thermosphere and exosphere. • 780 km (484.7 miles) - Iridium orbit. • 1,374 km (850 miles) - Highest altitude by a manned Earth-orbiting flight (Gemini XI with Agena Target Vehicle). • 20,200 km (12,600 miles) - GPS orbit. • 35,786 km (22,237 miles) - Geostationary orbit height. • 320,000 km (200,000 miles) - Lunar gravity exceeds Earth's (at Lagrange point). • 348,200 km (238,700 miles) - lunar perigee (closet approach of the Moon). • Apogee 402,100 km (249,900 miles) - lunar; (largest distance between Earth and Moon). Satellites: There are many artificial satellites orbiting Earth, including geosynchronous communication satellites 35,786 km 35,786 km (22,241 miles) above mean sea level at the Equator. There is also increasing reliance, for both military and civilian uses, on satellites which enable the Global Positioning System (GPS). A common misconception is that people in orbit are outside Earth's gravity because they are "floating". They are floating because they are in "free fall ": they are accelerating toward Earth, along with their spacecraft, but are simultaneously moving sideways fast enough that the "fall" away from a straight-line path merely keeps them in orbit at a constant distance above Earth's surface. Earth's gravity reaches out far past the Van Allen belt and keeps the Moon in orbit at an average distance of 384,403 km (238,857 miles). Related topic: Extending human life. Scientists predicts everyone now under 70 years old generally may live over 100 years after year 2020/2025, due to advanced medical and food technologies. The longest age recorded human life belongs to an 120 old woman. Information: Life Extension. xo |

04.14.2008 ---> CALL IT FANTASY .
Lyrics sample (click picture) > > >
Warming-up for the next big thing. How are the posters like? Supposed I'm an advertiser and wanted to design something for the upcoming events. Sounds like a great idea to polish some skills. The best way for a start topic is focusing on my favorite artists, since they are constantly in view. Therefor, I have more resources and contents to add and for back-ups. So, I put my plans on a small experiment for Avril Lavigne's concert in this coming May. The poster is "fictional" and designed for "pure fun" only; it is not intended for any promotion purposes, endorsement, to be reused in public or as an official announcment (the reason dates and show times are missing on the graphic). I will post a series of designs similar to this one in the future. There's a new one I'm working on and it's for John Mayer. He will be performing at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. in July. Touring with him is Colbie Caillat who is also doing the opening act. The final product will be online in a few days. More on his concert, later. If you own photos to previous Mayer or Caillat shows, and like to show them here send them in: mail to Send in your comment and suggestion regarding the made-poster. Everything welcomed, including critism. Place cursor on photo for short description. Click to enlarge.
Thanks to all who contributed and granted permission to post these pictures.
** Note where her eyes are directing to on the poster (both directions). Find Avril Lavigne guitar tabs(tablature) here: Cords / Notes for songs in all Lavigne albums. And for her very first (debut) 2002 Let Go title album only. The information is here in case you want to learn and play the chords in her songs yourself. Write to you again. YT xo |
