2009 Blog Memories

Site Related

2009 was the year when my hair finally went back to normal. Gone are the reds, the platinum blonds… my girlfriends and I are finally growing up. Temporarily.

It was also the beginning of the end of my blog when I rediscovered K-Pop which took over my life.

I’ve also been working on a soccer development team the past year at work and I’ve learnt SOME things about it. My interest in it hasn’t gone up (again, to Boyfriend’s dismay) but I do love watching funny soccer videos on Youtube. :P I also try to call it football now because one of the producers is so insistent on it (he’s obviously European).

Anyway, here are the 2009 blog highlights (check out 2008):

2009 was an okay blogging year for me because I had MANY blocks and distractions even with 50+ drafts sitting on my dashboard. Frankly, 2008 was 10x better but hopefully I’ll do better next year.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! :D

100 Things to Watch in 2010

News & Issues

Things on the list that caught my eye:

Wonder Girls

99. The Wonder Girls – Being a huge K-Pop fan, I tripped when I saw the Wonder Girls on the list. If I were 12 years old, I’d be totally all over those girls… although, I only have room for Korean boyband-teenybopper’ing at my ripe age of 22 right now.

74. Recycling Gray Water – Water is probably going to cost more than gas in the future.

65. Obesogens“chemical compounds in the environment—notably from plastics—that can turn developing cells into fat cells. These stay with a child for life, making weight loss difficult.” Doesn’t that just scare you? We’re creating such a harmful and dangerous world for our children.

Lost

55. Lost Series Finale – Reminds me that I’ve gotta start a countdown until the season ends so I can officially begin my couch-potatoe-ing. Yay!

6. Augmented Reality – “…the superimposing of digital information over physical reality, will make its way into the hands of mass audiences. AR smartphone apps can show where subway entrances are located, reveal prices of nearby homes or label landmarks for tourists. Marketers are getting in on the act, including GE and HP, whose AR game Roku’s Reward has players chase virtual images layered over reality on a phone’s screen.”

5. Asia’s Widening Income Gap – This just makes me sad. Forgot what we were talking about this morning, but boyfriend said: “Guess what makes them rich?! The poor people!!” So true.

Sony, for instance, predicts that 3D sets will compose 30 to 50 percent of all the TVs it sells in its 2012 fiscal year. [source]

1. 3D at Home – Boyfriend and I were talking about this earlier this year and how cool would that be? They’re going to be super expensive when they first come out but prices will probably drop like crazy after the 5 or so years when they start producing something cooler like TV that emits smells… WHEN YOU WANT IT TO (Food Channel.. mmmm).

Here is the complete list of 100 Things to Watch in 2010.
