Thank you all for the support in 2007, without you guys, blogging wouldn’t be as fun.  I wish you all the best in the year 2008.

Achievements in 2007

I’m expecting my first payment from my sponsors next week and a few more week after next week.  I’m so excited, and I’m planning to donate part of the sponsor income to local charities (depending on how much I received) in about June 2008. 

New Year Wishes

I wish you all have a great New Year and great successful in year 2008.

After a month of wait, I finally got a great due for a copy of Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare at BestBuy on boxing day.

How do I like this game

Unlike previous COD games, which take place during world war II, this game is about modern times.  The game play is a lot better than the previous CODs in my opinion, I like how you are told what to do by the AI soldiers and fight as a team.  The store is told with a satellite images, holographic pictures of military equipment which I think it’s amazing.

In COD 4, you can shoot through thin objects, bullet holds on the wall and objects.  You can shoot and blow up vehicles to do a multiple kills at the same time.  These add a lot to the game and make it so much more fun and realistic.

I just started the game in single player campaign and I haven’t tried the multi-player (xbox live) mode yet and hopefully, they do better on the re-spawning to avoid spawn camping which ruin the multi-player mode of the game like what happened in COD 3.  I can’t wait to try out the multi-player mode after I finish the single player campaign.

PayPerPost, one of the leading sites that pay blogger for writing articles on their blogs.

Get paid for blogging

Blogger can accept opportunities from the market place and write about the sites, products or services.   This is not it, PayPerPost implemented a PayPerPost University which is a video presentation showing newbies how to use their features: PayPerPost Direct, PayPerPost Facebook, etc.  All you need to do is drive traffic to your blog and look for opportunities that fits your blog.

PayPerPost now offers a $20.00 opportunity for newly approved members.  Once you have completed the article, you will need to submit your post to review for approval.  Once your post is approved, PayPerPost will pay you thru PayPal after 30 days if your article is still live and stay unchanged.

Tell your friends about PayPerPost and make more money

PayPerPost also offer you another opportunity to make money – referral program.  You can make $25 dollars by referring another blogger to join PayPerPost.

When you have questions, you’ve got help

PayPerPost has a FAQ page handy and you can find your answer most of the time; however, no matter how good a FAQ page is constructed and it will never cover all the questions any blogger or advertiser may have.  Therefore, they have a easy to use ticketing system where you can submit your questions.

I’ve tried their ticketing system and my questions were handled and resolved by their customer service representative professionally within 2 days.

As of December 11, 2007, WidgetBucks has brought their new Internetional CPM to live.  A CPM advertising banner will be shown if it’s a non-U.S./Canada traffic instead of the normal Widgets.

How It works?

If they are in the U.S. and/or Canada, the user will see the normal WidgetBucks widget. If the user is outside those two countries, then our system will determine a country-specific CPM ad to display. We are currently working with advertisers covering hundreds of countries and offering thousands of creatives to ensure optimum monetization.

WidgetBucks Blog

The feature has launched for almost a week and more advertisers has joined their network. Hopefully, we will see a high CPM rate on the international traffic soon. Don’t forget, they still offer the $25.00 signup bonus, so you get $25.00 credit under your account just for signing up.

AGLOCO 

I believe the name AGLOCO is well known to most bloggers and webmasters.  After years of hard working, we all hoping that they would start distribute their revenue to the members; however, AGLOCO does not renew their certificate which was expired in Nov.  In fact, how much a certificate would cost them to renew?

According to John Chow has received an email from AGLOCO’s team:

We would like to update you on the status of AGLOCO’s operations. We continue to believe in the AGLOCO concept, but our revenue is currently not sufficient to give Members a meaningful distribution. And though there are increases in membership, the resulting revenue is not enough to support operating costs. As a development team we are unable to continue to use our savings to fund the operations. If any Member would like to pursue continuing the operations of AGLOCO, you may contact us at agloco1@live.com.

We would like to thank every Member for supporting our effort to bring a piece of the Internet directly to the user. We hope that we can find a way to keep the operations going.

That reminds me Advantage 6 - 7 years ago, the great idea was poorly executed and put the great opportunity to the end.

2008 Lotus Elise SC 220

Elise SC 220

According to Lotus, the Elise SC 220 was built with an Elise with Exige-S power.  A supercharger is added to the Elise’s 1.8-liter four-pot, just like the Exige S.  However, the Elise does not have a roof snorkel, so Lotus developed an Eaton-style blower and doesn’t use an intercooler on the Elise SC.  Elise SC weight 2050 pound and yeild 220 horsepower and 153 pound-feet of torque which can almost compete the Exige-S that produces 220 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque.

Lotus claims that Elise SC can hit 60 mph in 4.6 and cost $54,500.

Elise California

In 2007 Los Angeles auto show, Lotus also load with an collectible Elise California.  This model is cost $51,770 which meant to showcase Lotus’s aptitude for customization. Mods that were made in the name of the Golden State include vintage-Ferrari-like silver egg-crate grillwork, body-color side air inlets, upgraded wheels, a light two-tone-leather interior, a removable hard top, an Alpine sound system, and a gargantuan rear spoiler that covers the entire rear end.

According to Lotus, you do not have to live in California to order one for your garage; however, you might want to do it quickly if you want one, since only 25 Ardent Red and 25 Saffron Yellow examples will be built.

I was using Sony Ericsson P910i for about 15 months and I had no problem with it and I didn’t expect to get a new cell phone so soon until I saw all the new cell phones advertisement in Hong Kong while I was traveling.  Nokia N81, N95, HTC Touch, Touch Dual, TyTN II etc….  At last, I picked HTC Touch, not only because it’s one of the cheapest and it is a PDA phone.

HTC Touch equips with a TI’s OMAP 850, 201 MHz processor and operated by Windows Mobile 6 Professional.  It has 128 MB ROM and SD RAM 64 MB DDR.  Most importantly, unlike other PDA phones which are a big block of a phone to carry around, but Touch is very small and light.  It only weight 112g with battery and 99.9mm x 58mm x 13.9mm in dimension.  The device control is kind of neat, as it’s model name “Touch”.  It uses HTC TouchFLO which in other words, similar to iPhone’s control :) While in PDA mode, it uses the ordinary touch screen control.

HTC Touch

I personal like this device very much, although there are a lot of 3G cell phones out there that does the video conversation and stuff, but it’s not that common and I wouldn’t want everyone knows where I’m when I want to keep my little privacy :P
