I personally enjoy traveling very much and I always being grateful that my goal of traveling to oversea every year still can be fulfilled since venturing into the working world about 3 years ago.

I’ve been wanting to open a travel blog to record all the traveling experience I’ve had but I just couldn’t find the extra time to maintain it. Well, there is this travel related website (Open Travel) I recently stumbled upon that reminds me sharing travel experience should be very easy and simple.

You can find many helpful tips about traveling in the website. I’m sure the website will come in handy too when you need to find places and attractions that worth paying a visit in your upcoming holidays. Doing simple research of a place is effortless using the website as you can directly find out the exact location of the place in the integrated map and there are pictures posted by the visitors as well.

Speaking about sharing traveling experience, you may even create a Free Travel Blog offered by Open Travel. Readers are able to drop comment in the post where you share your trips and who knows you may even meet your next travel partner there.

Well, what’s traveling if without taking photos, right? So being very thoughtful, the website has a Free Photo Sharing feature too. If you are a frequent traveler and wish to share your traveling experience and beautiful vacation pictures on the Internet, I think you’ve reached the right place.

This is the 3rd part of Nokia N97 Sneak Preview series, it’s about the main applications in the phone such as the A-GPS (with Nokia Maps), Web Browser, 5 Megapixel Carl Zeiss Camera and the Music Player.

5 Megapixel Carl Zeiss auto-focus Camera

The first thing I tried when I got the phone in my hands was the camera.

The auto-focus is amazing as it smartly detects your shooting object automatically and it’s fast! The white balance is good too. No obvious bluish/greenish/reddish effect which some camera phones may have. I don’t expect the flash of a camera phone to be as powerful as a Xenon, so N97’s doesn’t disappoint me as it does its job just fine.

As for Video Recording, one noticeable thing I need to mention is that the voice captured is quite clear even if the voice is coming from about a meter away.

Some of the applications in N97 are specially developed with the collaborations between Nokia and 3rd parties such as Facebook, Bloomberg, Reuters, etc. How thoughtful that is!

Honestly, I had no idea when I came across the term “mobile living furniture“. Theoretically, how can a furniture be mobile, right? Now I know it certainly can!

Casulo Mobile Living Furniture

Basically, Casulo is an innovative concept of making living furniture as compact as possible so that they can be easily shifted when we move houses. Somehow, Casulo still exists prototype even though it is originated in June 2007 by Marcel Krings and Sebastian Mühlhäuser.

I understand words are not enough to tell you how creative the concept can be, so let’s check out the pictures below!

Open up Casulo.

I think I’ve found the answer to my previous post : When Will Malaysian Make History?

What we need is HOPE, then we’ll make the change step by step.

I came across a piece of creative design by French designer John Nouanesing quite some time ago. It’s a window design with Microsoft Windows 3.1 painted on it.
