Electricity through the air

This is the third pair of AAA batteries that I've used for my wireless optical mouse in less than two months. I don't know whether that's normal or not. Or whether it's because of the mouse's high power consumption or the batteries are no good.

In any case, somebody's got to figure out how to transmit electricity through the air or wireless-ly. And then we can just plug in some gadget into the USB and have that transmit power to the mouse and keyboard aside from having it receive signals from the mouse and keyboard. The same could be applied to remote controls of televisions, DVD players, etc.

Bibingka for dessert

I have just finished eating a small piece of bibingka which my mother brought home today and which we had for dessert this evening. Yum-yum. It was a welcome change from the chocolate cake my parents had bought for my birthday last week.

Lost Sheep

Have just found out that a little Lost Sheep has finally lost its battle to stay alive. Sigh. Too bad I couldn't help in any way since I don't even own a credit card that I can use to pay for online purchases.

New wheels

One side of one of the wheels of my computer chair here at work broke off from its "axle" several months ago. Since then I have had to stop work once in a while to squat down on the floor to put back the wheel whenever it fell off so that I could glide around again in my chair.

But it finally got fixed just earlier when one of our utility workers here simply replaced the whole "foot" with wheels taken from another chair in the storeroom that was beyond repair. Had I known it would be that easy to fix it--I thought the office would have to order new parts or else glue back the wheel to the "axle"--I would have complained about it to our property custodian long ago.
