I have been sick for more than a week now. I had the flu and although I’m feeling much better, I was asked by my doctor to stay at home for a while. I’m a little weak from the illness and my boss was kind enough to excuse me from work. I had nothing to do with my spare time but to watch dvd’s and cable channels. Good thing that my sister had just bought a Samsung HDTV for our mini home theater. You wouldn’t be able to notice the difference from the regular TV if you only use regular cables and stuff. However, since my sister was a geek, she also bought HDMI cables and blu ray disks, which made the viewing experience much much better.

Have you ever gone to the South eastern parts of Asia about a year or two ago? If you have been there you may have experienced that it is not only the luggage that are checked but as well as your temperature and skin to see if there are skin rashes. They have done this because of the rising number break-out of avian influenza or commonly known as bird flu.
Bird flu like any common flu needs a host or something that the virus could adapt to. Avian flu inflicts birds that cause sudden mass kill of flocks. Avian flu does not only infect birds but as well humans and is also as fatal as its infects birds and others of the same kind. Avian flu for humans has the same symptoms as flu only a lot more fatal because it triggers both the respiratory and central nervous system.
