From Science To Mainstream

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

This PHD comic is a good gauge on what really happened to a scientific find before it goes mainstream (H1N1 flu variant, the LHC, etc).

It’s one of the reasons why I tend to be a bit skeptical on any news article on the H1N1 flu variant. While I sympathize anyone who had and has contracted [...]

Unreliable

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

This is a really old joke but I turned into a giggling goose when I saw this:
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
Thus, showing, and possibly proving, once again, how unreliable our memories are.

And The Worst Jedi Award Goes To…

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

…Qui-Gon Jinn!
As proof, this video has been circulating the interwebs..

I love his argument with Watto!
“Republic credits will do fine.”
“No, they won’t.”
“Republic credits WILL do fine.”
“No, they WON’T!”

Best April Fools’ Joke Ever

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

This has got to be the best April Fools’ prank I have read about. Yes, even better than Opera web browser’s new Face Gestures feature.
Improv Everywhere is, in my opinion, the greatest prank organizers in the world. They have staged various events, from the MP3 experiments to high-five-ing people riding up the escalator. They’re usually [...]

Eschalon Book 1 Impressions

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

I have tried out a demo of Eschalon Book 1 (EB1) quite some time ago, and have been quite impressed with it. It was on my to-buy list for a long time now. Suddenly, I saw that there was a 20% discount over at Rampant Games blog. I’ve also been contemplating what game to purchase [...]

Dumbest Microsoft Move Ever?

Monday, January 26th, 2009

And it’s by Microsoft!
Even with the apparent demise of MSN Music, or maybe not, Microsoft has chosen to launch yet another music store, but aimed at the mobile market. Of course, with DRM. And a higher price tag.
It’s like a store for sadomasochists, where people get pleasure from buying tracks at a more expensive price [...]

Most Creative Way To Open An Office Door Remotely

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

This has got to be the most creative way to open an office door remotely. It just goes to show that engineers are truly problem-solvers. No matter how wierd, complicated or difficult a problem is, an engineer is able to figure out a method, even if it is crude, to solve it, albeit temporary or [...]

Mirror’s Edge In 2D

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Despite it’s flaws I think Mirror’s Edge is a damn cool game. Heck, anything based on free-running, or parkour, is cool.
But of course, I won’t be able to play it. I will get massive motion sickness even at the menu screen.
However, Borne Games has recently created a 2D flash version of Mirror’s Edge [...]

Dilbert On Agile Programming

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

My company is actively touting Agile as the new buzz around software development. Scott Adams must have somehow picked it up as well.

I love Wally!
