09.29.2005 - yay! pay day is tomorrow! serenity is out!!! a must see movie for firefly fans. someone on /. had posted a 3-way interview between TIME, Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman: Interview: Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon. had some interesting things to say. here's 2 images i found off 4chan (may be a bit sexy): picutre 1 and picture 2. is it me, or does kaylee look so much taller in real life? got this link from /. : Scientists capture giant squid on camera. be sure to check out the video. the squid didn't look that big, but i'll trust them when they say the tentacles were 26'. got this link from /. : Ipod Nano 200gb Instructions. a hilarious guide on uncyclopedia. got this link from /. : Zalman Reserator 1 Plus Water Cooling System. pretty neat looking device. i didnt really read the article, but the pictures were kewl. got this article from /. : Apple acknowledges flaw in iPod Nano. Apple Computer is acknowledging a flaw in its new iPod Nano music player, offering to replace for free models that shipped with a defective screen that is prone to cracking. A company representative said that the issue was a manufacturing, rather than a design problem, and said it affected less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all the Nanos that have shipped so far. but yes, the nano is so easy to scratch. i've gotten quite a few already. but i didnt want to splurge and pay $30 for some plastic. ended up getting some skins and screen protectors from DecalGirl. was actually pretty cheap (price, hopefully not quality). i got 3 skins (1 for my 3g ipod) and a pack of screen protectors for a little over $20 shipped. here's their explaining of their skin quality: Skinning Demystified. got this article from yahoo: Recipe for perfect sandcastle. A lesson learned by centuries of beachcombers has been distilled to a physicist's formula: to make the perfect sandcastle, use eight parts sand to one part water. no wonder my sand castles (or mounds) always broke. got this article from yahoo: Mating game is never over for male swallows: study. Men who put on a little pot belly after marriage can give thanks that they are not barn swallows. A study published on Thursday shows females of that species keep shopping around even after mating. And these females aren't looking for good providers or even good company. They want only the best-looking birds, a research team at Cornell University in New York found. got this article from yahoo: Australians do their patriotic duty - birthrate up. "That kind of public discussion has been pretty prominent and I think that has had its effect," he said. During a budget speech in May last year, Costello urged Australians to have more children, telling couples to "have one for your husband, one for your wife and one for your country." got this from pya!:

09.27.2005 - sorry for the inconvenience, but for those who leave comments, i've added a barrier to deter away spammers. as you may have noticed, i've already stopped posts on my guestbook. so for comments, i've implemented a verification system. the current context is text-based, but may change to image-base to deter scripts. right now, it's a simple algorithm of hashing your ip with a randomly generated code. later on, i'll make it so codes can not be reused for x amount of time. may also be implementing this system in my guestbook sometime in the future. haha. that might not be for awhile since i havent made much progess on the layout update yet. so it's been a really busy day. got off work @ 9, so i'm hitting the sack early today. got this link from an ms dl: LEVITRON - The Amazing Anti-Gravity Top. check out the video. it's pretty neat! got this link from /. : Confessions of an Engineering Washout. pretty interesting read, though i disagree with many points. a 43% final doesn't mean you only learn 43% of the course material. engineering is about logic, not memorization/time limit. that's why i never got why engeineering courses had finals. projects are much better are measuring how much you've learnt and way more fun, though this guy didnt seem to have enjoyed his endless nights in the lab. then he said: In high school I had grown accustomed to math classes that featured clear, helpful instruction from teachers who liked to teach and excelled at teaching.In high school I had grown accustomed to math classes that featured clear, helpful instruction from teachers who liked to teach and excelled at teaching. At Smartypants U, the jewel in the crown of American academia, my math instructor was a twenty-something teaching assistant whose classroom style never deviated from the following pattern. i guess i have kimura to thank for this. she was neither clear nor gave helpful instructions and didn't particularily like to teach, besides smacking you when you're lost. haha. got this article from yahoo: Fish story: the 35,000 that got away. "They were waving to us, they had lots of smiles, and I saw a couple hold up some fish with great glee," Marine Harvest managing director Craig Foster told ABC radio. no duh! when each fish is worth almost US$11 and there's 35,000 of them swimming around, it's like 35,000 $10 bills flying down from the sky. everything's up for grabs and of course those bills look like they're smiling at us! |

09.26.2005 - what grinds my gears: you guys ever have shower knob problems where after you take a shower, the knob that you pull to make the water come outta the showerhead instead of below doesn't come down. and when the next time you take a shower, you forget to check, and you turn on the water, and freezing water comes outta the shower head? and that's what grinds my gears. so i was looking up info on saladin, the guy who took jerusalem back from the crusaders in the movie kingdom of heaven cause i wanted to know what % of it was real. Then Raynald looted a caravan of pilgrims on the Hajj in 1185, forcing Saladin's response. In July of 1187, Saladin invaded the Kingdom of Jerusalem and annihilated the Crusader army at the Battle of Hattin, a major disaster for the Crusaders and a turning point in the history of the Crusades. Saladin captured Raynald and had him executed; he also captured the King, Guy of Lusignan. He then recaptured Jerusalem on October 2, 1187, after 88 years of Crusader rule (see Siege of Jerusalem). then you should read the battle of jerusalem, and notice all the discrepancies, but what was interesting was: Negotiations were carried out between Saladin and Balian, through the mediation of the Yusuf Batit, one of the Eastern Orthodox clergy, who had been largely suppressed under Latin Christian rule and knew that they would have more freedoms if the city were returned to the Muslims. Saladin preferred to take the city without bloodshed, but those inside refused to leave their holy city, vowing to destroy it in a fight to the death rather than see it handed over peacefully. Thus the siege began. haha, should of read this first: Historical accuracy. thanks to deadlock for donating this video: Fast N Furious - Goped Take2. Trans am ws6 gets told whats up from a kid on a scooter. got this article from an ms dl: Job Burnout. pretty interesting article. here's part 2 and part 3.

09.25.2005 - thought of the day: according to cari, jay chou and i have the same birthday, but he was born 4 years before me. sigh. weekends sure past by fast. didn't really do much today. did more reorganizing my folder structures. also watched detective conan movie 9 - strategy above the depths which was really fun. not as great as the other movies though imo. thanks to cari for donating this article: War Pornography. US soldiers trade grisly photos of dead and mutilated Iraqis for access to amateur porn.

FLOOD!!!

09.24.2005 - thought of the day: so i was watching Kingdom of Heaven (pretty good movie, though not much really happened, but it was fun), and when they found water in that dry city, these little boys put a toy boat on the aqueduct as it floated downstream. it brought back memories of when i was little and we would make paper boats and whenever our parents watered the plants or washed the car, we would put these boats on the streams and follow it as it flows downhill into the gutter. haha. sorry about not updating last nite. went to sleep @ 3:30am the nite before and had to get up @ 7:20 because of our company meeting @ safeco field the next day. so yah, when i came got back, i sorta hit the sack immediately. slept from 7:30pm to 11:30am this morning. 16hrs of sleep = good! the company meeting was fun. got to see what the rest of microsoft was doing. some of the new products coming out look pretty good. finally got to see bill g and steve b. didnt meet them in person, but i got to see them on stage. you've probably heard of the clip that bill gates did with napoleon dynamite. i was going to link it earlier, but ifilm and the original blogger were instructed to take it down because: Apparently, there are some concerns with the copyright status of this spoof. We've removed it from the site, at least for the time being. // Unfortunately, I had to take the video down. Apparently, the studio owns the copyright on the video, not Microsoft. They would keep it online if they were allowed to, but the only reason the studios do these deals is if MS agrees to show it to limited audiences. Personally, I think that's ridiculous, but I like the access I get for playing nice, so down it goes. i got my electric bill yesterday... and i was shocked to see the total: $159.44!!! i was like wth is going on. i meaning running 2 computers and not being home 1/2 the day shouldn't be generating this kind of bill... or does it? haha, i've never payed for electricity, but hearing from my dad's complaints, his bill including A/C during the summer only sorta hits $120 tops. so i read into the details of my bils so more. turns out this was 1.5 months and for the month of 8/18 - 9/16, the total was only $34.65 with the 1.5months coming to a total of $47.34. as i read on, there was a $6.10 setup fee thingy and a $106.00 deposit. that's a pretty heavy deposit... considering the amount i pay/month, that deposit covers over 3 months! i received another letter today saying how a review of your account indicates the necessity of obtaining an initial or additional security deposit in the amount of $106.00. sigh... my credit shouldn't be that bad... cdmcc invited me to watch corpse bride today. the movie was good and fun. was a bit short tho. only 76mins and we sorta missed the 1st 5mins of it. wo! johnny depp played the voice of victor!?!?! haha, for the longest time, i thought it was adrien brody. they also had him do a scene playing a beautiful piano piece! hahahahah! any way, it's a fun movie and you should watch it. my dad's been having problems opening his old ms works files. he was using ms works 4.0 or 5.0 and apparently the newest word 2003 doesn't support converting these ancient formats. after consulting with the office group (since i have direct access to their mailing lists), i finally got a solution: Works converters for Word. just follow the instructions in the text document and you'll be able to get it to work. i watched finaly fantasy 7: advent children sometime back. the graphics is amazing and the storyline was really fun. tifa in the game looked cute. tifa in the movie looks HOT! as tera or fuzzywuzzy said, tifa in advent children is basically rinoa from ff8, which i'd have to agree. did i mention how pretty it was? as someone who's never really played ff7, i was able to enjoy it alot, so don't fear that you haven't played the game cause you don't really need to. several weeks ago, i went to watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose with cdmcc and elizabeth. the exorcist was a horrible boring movie. i think i fell asleep watching it and didnt bother finish watching it. but this emily rose story was actually done really well. nothing too scary and it is rated only pg-13. i rewatched the ending of batman begins. movie is so good!!! if you haven't seen the movie, STOP READING THIS PARAGRAPH IMMEDIATELY! hopefully this won't spoil anything for you if you've decided to keep on reading: (batman starts walking away) lt. gordon says, "I never said thank you ..." (batman turns around) and says, "... and you'll never have to." so powerful!!! you'll also have to imagine the amazing soundtrack behind it too which i can't really type out. thanks to cari for donating this article: Siblings, 13 and 14, enter Cal as transfer students. im wondering if i should feel happy or pity for them. it's a great accomplishment, but they're barely teenagers... sounds like some traditional chinese parenting was involved, if you know what i mean. thanks to tolik for donating this video: Ctrl-Alt-Delete Creator Speaks. pretty funny clip on how it all came about. thanks to kharizma for donating this article: Power-dressing man leaves trail of destruction. An Australian man built up a 40,000-volt charge of static electricity in his clothes as he walked, leaving a trail of scorched carpet and molten plastic and forcing firefighters to evacuate a building. thanks to belldandy for donating this link: The iPod nano: Accessories Addressed. i was wondering what that dock adapter thingy was. turns out there's going to be a new standard for all future ipods to support this. thanks to deadlock for donating this video: ae86 vs Skyline R34. Japanese road racing.. another initial d in real life video. thanks to deadlock for donating this video: The Amazing Hypnotist Redux. On October 18th, 2003 Improv Everywhere returned to Washington Square Park to stage a revival of The Amazing Hypnotist. Enjoy! got this article from /. : The digital Dark Age. the article is quite interesting and does bring up big problem. in the past 10 years, we've went from 5.25" floppies to 3.5" floppies, to zip disks, to cdrs, to dvdrs, and then now there's hddvd and blu-ray coming out. i'm already seeing tons of computers w/o floppies. floppies, the good old pkunzip days. haha. i guess many problems are solved by backward compatibilities, but how bout one day when discs are no longer in style? 1. how do we convert our archives of documents and images to support the latest formats? 2. how do we make sure it's still readable? 3. how do we transfer them onto the new tech? It is 2045, he suggests, and his grandchildren are exploring the attic of his old house when they come across a CD-ROM and a letter, which explains that the disk contains a document that provides directions to obtaining the family fortune. The children are excited. "But they've never seen a CD before - except in old movies - and, even if they found a suitable disk drive, how will they run the software necessary to interpret the information on the disk? How can they read my obsolete digital document?" got this link from /. : gameman:play it. pretty kewl jumbo size gameboy. got this link from /. : How-To: Increase your upload/download/ratio in torrent trackers. wouldn't recommend it, since bt is about sharing. got this article from /. : Toshiba touts fuel cell-equipped MP3 players. that mp3 player looks pretty small for a fuel cell mp3 player, but does that mean we'll be carrying around bottles of methanol around? i wonder if it smells good. got these links from /. : Skyping Your Cellphone and IM Fone - Bluetooth based device allows using cell phone to make calls via IM. This actually sounds pretty amazing. Apparently this “imFONE” USB device allows you to use your existing cellphone as a VoIP phone. You simply plug this thing into your PC’s USB port, pair it via Bluetooth to your phone, and you’re ready to go. got this article from yahoo: British Office Compiles List of Odd Names. "My all-time favorites are Abraham Thunderwolff and Freke Dorothy Fluck Lane," she said. Other discoveries included Boadicea Basher, Philadelphia Bunnyface, Faithful Cock, Susan Booze, Elizabeth Disco, Edward Evil, Fozzitt Bonds, Truth Bullock, Charity Chilly, Gentle Fudge, Obedience Ginger and Offspring Gurney. forgot where i got this article: Secretaries sacked after cyber brawl. TWO secretaries at one of Sydney's top law firms have been sacked after a catty email exchange that was circulated around the city's legal and financial district. pretty sad yet funny story. so my backlog of links are finally done. i guess it's time for pya starting tomorrow. thanks to cari for donating this pic:
