Mullfoto of the Day


All right. Here is a Mullfoto of me wearing my newest toy. It's that gizmo that's supposed to make your iPod or computer screen look like its a 738 foot-wide Cinerama screen only an inch in front of your eyes.

A. It works - but it looks like you're viewing a one-inch screen, one inch in front of your eyes.

B. Your seat mate looks at you VERY strangly when you take them off - and turns away when you ask him if he wants to try.

D. It is NOT true that I bought them with the expectation that they would somehow be a 2007 version of those X-ray Specs you could buy from the ad on the back of Superman comics back in the 50's. Well, I didn't expect it, but I was sort of hoping ...

Second, Pengrian might be waving to onlookers, but it seems to me that Princess Majeedah is sneaking a peek at Pengiran's pengiran (if you know what I mean, and I think you do).
