Nissan Nuvu Concept


Nissan's Nuvu concept (think "New View") is Nissan's vision for the type of car we'll be driving in cities by the middle of next decade. Although it is an electric car, Nissan says the Nuvu is not the electric car the company recently announced it will sell in the U.S. and Japan in 2010. The Nuvu does carry some technology destined for the production vehicle.


As befitting a proper city car, the Nuvu is small: about a foot longer than a Smart Fortwo. A unique 2+1 seating arrangement allows for a third passenger when needed, or the seat can be folded down. Unlike many city cars, the Nuvu has enough luggage capacity for a proper supermarket run.

Of note, the Nuvu's roof has 12 small leaf-shaped solar panels, which charge the battery via a "tree-trunk" within the car. And to further emphasize the Nuvu's "green-ness," the cabin makes use of natural, organic and recycled materials.

"Nuvu is a concept car, for sure, but it is an entirely credible vehicle," says Francois Bancon, the general manager of Nissan's Exploratory and Advanced Planning Department.

We all know now a days.Cars are getting bigger. In our country Bigger cars can accommodate more space. Not like in this Nissan Nuvu. Its cute, simple and elegant. But the disadvantage of this car. It is operated by electronic. We have to charge it. And one thing I think it cant be use in a long distance travel. Its only within the city.

Samal Escapade

(sigh).. Its really an exhausted day.. Just got home from samal together with my mates in IT-2A. It is really a great bonding to all of us.. All of us is really happy. But before all that enjoyment happens. (wooh). From the the ferry Boat we walked in from there up to Isla Beach Resort. Which is really far from the Port. =D .. But despite of that , we still enjoy walking even though it was far.=p ... so, when we got there we ate immediately our lunch. Because we are really all hungry at that time. After we ate our lunch.. We all go to the beach and swim.. The weather is really good.So,we really enjoy swimming.. Actually, I still supposed to be there at this very moment of time. Because we supposed to have an overnight.But i went home . Because i haven't asked permission to my mom that we will have an overnight their at the beach . All that i said is that we will just go swimming. =( .. But im also satisfied that I'm with them the whole day. At least we have bonded together. I hope there will be next time. =D .. IT-2A is really the best...


Good luck to us guyz....

Google Earth

Google Earth is a virtual globe program that was originally called Earth Viewer, and was created by Keyhole, Inc, a company acquired by Google in 2004. It maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. It is available under three different licenses: Google Earth, a free version with limited functionality; Google Earth Plus ($20 per year), which includes additional features; and Google Earth Pro ($400 per year), which is intended for commercial use.

Some other are saying if what features do we get from Google earth. Well, Google Earth view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings and even explores galaxies in the Sky. You can explore rich geographical content, save your toured places and share with others.

Google Earth has 2 kinds. Which is the Google Earth Plus and Google earth Pro. Google earth plus that you can import data from your GPS (Global Positioning System) handheld device such as tracks and waypoints while Google Earth Pro is significantly more expensive and offers such features as the fastest Google Earth performance, the ability to annotate maps with lines and polygons, and the ability to export high quality images. The disadvantage of using the Google earth is that many terrorists are now using this king of technology for them to pinpoint their attacks. It shows the satellite photographs show in detail the buildings inside the bases and vulnerable areas such as tented accommodation, lavatory blocks and where lightly armored Land Rovers are parked.

There is this case studies coming from the organization of Appalachian Voices. Which they have a project of Appalachian Mountaintop Removal for them to aim the goal of Show the impact of mountaintop removal coal mining. The site puts a human face on the issue by highlighting the stories of families living in the shadows of these mines. And the Google Earth has transformed how we think about the issue, because it not only allows millions of people around the world to see and explore the impact on our region, but it also allows people right here in Appalachia to see for themselves what is going on in the mountains above their homes and communities.

It was a great day yesterday night.Its faye's 18th birthday. It really really great because all the barkadas are there.. It seems like it is a big reunion to all of us =D .. we really have a great time with each other. I miss those time we were together everywhere we go..I miss those laughters we shared each other. At that night really felt so happy. Its because we are all gathered to faye's 18th birthday. =D .. Thanks to faye for inviting us in her birthday party.. Because of that we are gathered again..More powers to the EeSSCEE.....
