My First Chronograph Watch

My Seiko Chronograph* I recently got this timekeeping piece as a birthday present, it's my first ever chronograph wristwatch. pENguiN~ thought that since I am always late for my appointments, a watch would prove useful to remind me to be on time (...NOT). She also said that, having a good wristwatch makes a man :P. Talking about making a man, a friend of mine (I'm not sure if he visits this blog :P) gave me this piece of advice some time back. Apparently he got it from his father. I still remember it because I felt it was quite true and seems practical enough. He said, "There are a few things that a man should make sure that he has, one of it is a pair of good shoes and another is a good wristwatch."

The Everglide Titan GamingMat

I recently bought myself a so called professional mousing surface from Everglide . It's the cloth/fabric-based Titan GamingMat , and it incorporates Everglide's award-winning Fibertek Surface, which based on what I've read from the website, is actually a uniquely woven fabric surface that will ensure that the optical mice will track flawlessly with even and constant acceleration throughout it's surface.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Professional Gaming

Fire in the hole!!! I stumbled upon this article on TwitchGuru , telling us some of our misconceptions on professional gamers. To the not-so-gaming inclined, professional gamers are people who game for a living, taking computer gaming to the next level by competing in international tournaments and competitions with very very lucrative prizes (often in tens of thousands of USD). Professional gamers are usually very competent in the game that they specialize in, and will most definitely, in netspeak, pwn your usual cybercafe ali, ah kow and raju. In some sense, we can almost equate them to the professional sportsmen which we always watch on ESPN, only that instead hitting/kicking something around (almost all sports involve that in one way or another) in the field or court, their sport can be played from the comfort of their bedroom by staring at a square screen accompanied by a two (sometimes more) button rodent and an array of clicking keys. Often you will need a broadband connection
