Idea repository
Posted by: aidilgoh on: 17 May, 2009
I am making baghdadbattery into a repository of ideas. With these ideas, I will then get to see which one is most suitable to be worked on, and the one most pressing I think will have to be ideas about energy and how we consume it.
Since watching An Inconvenient Truth for the very first time 2 years ago, my interest in our climate has steadily picked up. Tonight, after reading the eye opening chapter on ‘Gaia Capitalism’ in Richard Branson’s ‘Screw It, Let’s Do it’, I do believe with all my heart that I am enough as 1 person to create change within my circle of influence.
Alrighty, to begin with, the first idea is to support renewable energy efforts and help it be widely available. So let’s explore more on the subject of renewable energy shall we?

Who is the judge?
The judge is God.
Why is he God?
Because he decides whether I win or lose, not my opponent.
Who is your opponent?
He doesn’t exist.
Why does he not exist?
Because he is just a mere dissenting voice to the truth I speak.

ZAPPOS!
Posted by: aidilgoh on: 15 May, 2009
I have yet to find (or create) the ideal working environment.
However, after watching Oprah Primetime’s teaser about ‘Zappos’ whose CEO has no suit, I am certain that there is hope for the working class :)
One thing for me to note, is that the employees over at Zappos has a sense of ownership over the company they are working for. And, they remember the 10 values! Which explains why they can work and have crazy fun together, because everyone is aligned to each others vision.
Great CEO+great employees=great company. A perfect combi.
Dream On
Posted by: aidilgoh on: 6 May, 2009
Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isnt that the way
Everybodys got their dues in life to pay
I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life is in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know its true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
(x2)
Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on…
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

Model S is here!
Posted by: aidilgoh on: 28 March, 2009
Model S
“Model S doesn’t compromise on performance, efficiency or utility — it’s truly the only car you need,” said Tesla CEO, Chairman and Product Architect Elon Musk.
“Tesla is relentlessly driving down the cost of electric vehicle technology, and this is just the first of many mainstream cars we’re developing.”
What’s most valuable about the Model S is that it saves a lot of money in the long run. Model S costs roughly $5 to drive 230 miles – a bargain even if gasoline were $1 per gallon. Nice.
Speed freaks behold! Model S can get from 0 to 60mph in under 6 seconds! Blimey!
As far as accessories go, in the email that Tesla sent me, they say the Model S is equipped with a 17-inch touchscreen with in-car 3G connectivity allows passengers to listen to ‘Pandora Radio’ or consult Google Maps, or check their state of charge remotely from their iPhone or laptop. Heh Nice…
Have the moolah and you stay at a place where you can get one? See the value in having this car? Then definitely get one my friend… they’re taking orders for the 2011 delivery here.
Now I can’t say how cool this car is. My wish is that I have the resources to get this car. It would also help if it’ll be sold in Malaysia… I WANT one :)
