I’ve seen before the FIrefox logo as seen through the Hubble telescope. And now, another Firefox sighting! No, not in space but on the ground. I am not sure about the story behind this but this makes one good ingredient for a sci-fi thriller. What with the many sci-fi movies coming out lately, isn’t it about time that Hollywood comes up with a movie about this famous Fox…or maybe not.

If you are unsure that someone’s been stealing from the cookie jar or heck, your wife or husband is cheating on you…why not get this bear spy cam. Give it as a present and make sure its placed where you can see the action. It doesn’t look exactly like Pooh Bear from Disney but it looks cute. Why, you could even use this to spy on your kid’s yaya. You know, just to be sure that she’s not hurting your sweet little kid.

Another cosplay event to go to, this time the Mangahilix Manga Mania will be held at SMX Convention Center near SM Mall of Asia. The event is due this Saturday, March 31, 2008, from 10am to 8pm. There’s a 50% chance that I will attend this event and may come after lunchtime. If I push through this is the first cosplay event I’ll be attending this year, if not I’m definitely going to the Toycon event next month.

It sounds like the plot of a farfetched science fiction movie. Unfortunately for the residents of Texas, it is very much a reality: billions of tiny reddish-brown ants have arrived onshore from a cargo ship and are hell-bent on eating anything electronic.
Computers, burglar alarm systems, gas and electricity meters, iPods, telephone exchanges – all are considered food by the flea-sized ants, for reasons that have left scientists baffled. [...]
Crazy is the the right word. The ants are known as “crazy rasberry ants”: crazy because they seem to move in a random scrum as opposed to marching in regimented lines, and rasberry after a pioneering exterminator, Tom Rasberry, who first identified them as a problem.
The ants – also known as paratrenicha species near pubens – have so far spread to five counties in the Houston area. Scientists are not sure from where they originate but they seem to be related to a type of ant from the Caribbean. “At this point it would be nearly impossible to eradicate the ants because they are so widely dispersed,” said Roger Gold, a Texas A&M University entomologist. He added that the only upside to the invasion was that the crazy rasberry ants ate fire ants, which sting humans during the long, hot Texas summers.
Worse, the ants refuse to die when sprayed with over-the-counter poison. Even killing the queen of a colony doesn’t do any good, because each colony has multiple queens.
