Buffalo Wild Wings is now serving Corvallis! A popular sport bar has landed on the 9th street and Circle of Corvallis and should emerge as Corvallis' #1 wings provider. "Dude, it's just BWW, no biggie!" "Well, it's just a start, hang in there!" Actually, me and some mates have gone there and we kinda end up with a review. So here it is:

Very, very crowded. Long line is inevitable. Try not to come during the regular meal time.

Should be your instant favorite!

We had 4 flavors of wings: Parmesan Garlic, Asian Zing, Sweet BBQ, and Honey BBQ. Plus a basket of fries as a side. We love the Asian Zing very much (suits our Asian tongues), it was a little bit spicy but still tolerable. Honey BBQ was also a cracker, I actually savor this tangy sweet and sour wings. Well, nothing special with the other 2 flavors but they are worth to try! $20 for 3 people was not that bad right?

SocMed Tech: CES 2013

For you guys that don’t know, the biggest electronic expo in the US, CES 2013, has just passed last week. The show is basically for all electronic companies (in exception of Apple, Nokia, and Blackberry) to showcase their products that they planned to release later this year. And they got some cool stuff that I want to share with you guys.

SONY’s 56-Inch 4K/Ultra HD OLED

This year CES is the main venue for TV makers to showcase their 4K HDTV. This TV boasts a native resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. For comparison, Apple’s 15-inch macbook pro retina display is only 2,880 x 1,800. Sony hasn’t release its pricing yet but judging by their competitors price tag it would probably be around $10K-$20K.

SONY XPERIA Z

This year CES did not have many Smartphone but it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any worthy enough to kick the iphone5 out of your pocket. The XPERIA Z has a higher ppi (pixel per inch) than iphone5, it comes with a quad core processor, and it is not by any means a bad looker, and it has one other thing that I think no other Smartphone has. EXPERIA Z is the only phone that is waterproof for up to 3 feet underwater, so you could finally text while shower.

Panasonic Bone Conduction Headphones

No, the guy in the picture did not wear the headphone wrong. This headphone delivers the sound through vibration onto your bone.  This is not a new technology but it is the first one that actually looked kind of nice. The price is $200.

AUDI Connect Car

Audi has developed their self driving technology for some time now and it looks like they are very darn close with it. Audi Connect car not only can park itself, it also can pick you up. Using an Audi iPhone app, you can set when you want your car to come and get you. Tap the pickup button, it will turn on the ignition and the car will drive itself to pick you up. 

So, I guess it's okay to assume that the future's really near right?

Welcome to the 2013!!

“This year, learn more and teach less, laugh more and cry less, appreciate more and criticize less, love more and hate very less. Happy New Year and welcome yourself to 2013!” 

Not long ago, it seems that 2013 was just around the corner, some even thought the world would end and we might not make it through the year. Guess what? We have proven it to be wrong as we are here, celebrating every single moment of 2013. I think the best theme idea of 2013 is redemption, don’t you think? As we were looking back to 2012, everyone must have lots of mistakes or wrong doings. So, here we are turning our lives into brand new chapters, we should at least make an attempt to redeem while we still can. 

Redemption means making amends towards our past mistakes as we use those to strengthen us in the future. Compensating is not an easy task. It needs courage and bravery to admit what we’ve done wrong and try to fix those. However, as a human, we are never created perfectly; perhaps making a resolution could be one of your challenge for this year! 

Have a great New Year of 2013 and good luck for the first week of winter term, despite all the rain and cold wind! :)
