Hatsune Miku, Japan's 3D Hologram Rock Star



Do you believe that the newest rockstar in Japan is a hologram! Her name is 'Hatsune Miku'. She is a 3D animated hologram whose voice is power by a singing synthesizer application.

Miku has a long blue-green hair and likes to wear in pigtail. Her costume matches the school girl. She is a sining, digital avator created by the Japanese technology firm, Crypton Future Media that consumers can purchase and then program to perform any song on a computer.

She is a Vocaloid's voice syntesizer (a software that generates sounding sining by simply typing in the lyrics and music notes) The vocaloidism blog has more details about the software.

She performed her first 'live' concert in 2009 and has also traveled to Singapore on tour.

Hatsune Miku is a rising star in japan and across East asia. A few months ago, a 3D projection of Miku pranced around several stadium stages as part of a concert tour. Around 25,000 fans who fill stadium to watch her don't care that she isn't flesh and blood. Clazed fans have been buying all the tickets to her live concerts, which are presented with a 3D holographic technology.

The video of Hatsune Miku's live concert in Japan is proof of how far technology has come.

House Key Hider




How do you hide your house key? I've seen on the western movies that they hid their house key under the doormat, above the doorframe, in/under flowerpot, etc.

I've just found a cool idea. It's a simple project with a very practical purpose. It's so easy. You have to prepare a rock (pick one from your garden :D) and a prescription bottle. To make the key hider just glue a rock to a bottle. The rest of the directions are as below.

Click on the image to see the bigger size


Have you ever eat this delicious menu (Thai Papaya Salad or Som-Tam) before? Actually it isn't Salad. We call 'Som-Tam' in Thai. I'm sure that you can find 'Som-Tam' at every Thai restaurant in your country. In Thailand you can find Som-Tam everywhre from any street to the 5-star Hotel. Every Thai people love Som-Tam. It's the most favorite for someone so they eat Som-tam everyday.

Som-Tam is not specified to be breakfast, brach, lanch or dinner. We can eat Som-Tam every time we'd like, even though evening!!!

It's very wonderful. It's also a yummy diet menu for the diet one. There're variety of Som-Tam. The picture above shows the basic ingredients. When salted duck egg is added it's turn to be 'Som-Tam-Khai-Khem'. When Pla-Ra is added it's turn to be 'Som-Tam-Pla-Ra'. When fruits (any kind you like such as apple, rose apple, etc) are added it's turn to be 'Som-Tam-Pon-La-Mai' (Pon-La-Mai = fruit). So when anything you like is added it's turn to be 'Som-Tam- .....'. You see!!! it's so wonderful menu.
