Battle of the micro PCs, truly the future

Administrator — Tue, 29 May 2012 01:55:53 +0000

What used to occupy football stadiums to crunch out 2+2, now fits in the palm of your hand. And to think, I am confident I can assume the government has computers smaller than an adult human’s thumbnail or something more advanced. Anyhoo, check out the new Mk802 PC. It’s only USD$74 and nearly the size [...]

How to make your own smartphone with Raspberry Pi

Administrator — Sun, 27 May 2012 05:25:50 +0000

Sure, it’s not as powerful as an Apple iPhone, but it’s worth looking into. If a Raspberry Pi is about $50, then what remains is an input device and and output device. I was thinking if someone had the knowhow, they could order a touchscreen amoled right from the supplier and rig the thing up [...]

Administrator — Sun, 27 May 2012 04:47:46 +0000

Seems the black version is readily available, but after reading some posts online, camera buyers are interested in the cherry red one. So it’s been almost a month since release, when’s the next shipment coming? As of May 7, 2012, from Nikon’s official website forum for the D3200, the staff representative said “a few weeks”. [...]

Where’s Asian American Chris Rock Louis CK?

Administrator — Fri, 25 May 2012 04:38:18 +0000

Surely, Asian-Americans can’t have it that good in America that they have nothing to bitch about? Not even personal issues? Isn’t there any Asian American bold enough, smart enough, subversive enough of a comedian out there? Do I really have to be the first true one, brandishing my own unique style of humor? Maybe the [...]

Celebrity Assassin: Coming to TV this Fall on FOX

An idea I had while taking a shit. Celebrity Assassin Copyright 2012 By Chongchen Saelee In the near future, popular culture will have such an influential effect on the way the world works that movie stars run the government, pornstars are Goodwill Ambassadors, rap stars are heads of church. And the world is connected via [...]

How To Make Video Games into Art

Administrator — Sun, 13 May 2012 23:50:48 +0000

If you make a game with Edvard Munch or M.C. Escher visuals, it’s a game about art, not a game that is art. So how do you do it? And why should it matter that games are art? I have yet to see a “living” video game, one that will literally have unlimited replay value [...]

Batman in U.S. Film is Unstoppable Propaganda

Administrator — Sun, 13 May 2012 16:00:55 +0000

Holy, Batman! You’ve become a godless god! Would I dare to go into the significance of Batman mania in U.S. mainstream media? Too lazy to write anything, but I do wager a bat-zillion dollars that at this point, you can say anything about the upcoming Dark Knight Rises film and it will still make a [...]

Thoughts on Evoluton 2012

Administrator — Mon, 07 May 2012 04:37:02 +0000

Professor X can really sell evolution if he’s played by Patrick Stewart. But here’s my take. There are some theories out there that dinosaurs eventually became birds. But I want to contest this. I think everything evolved from fish or something more primitive. If the earth was once a clumped mass of water and random [...]

McDonald’s Adds Cherry Berry Chiller To Menu

Administrator — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:59:37 +0000

It’s not bad, but they couldn’t have added those smoothies? I quite fancied the Mango/Pineapple smoothie they had a while ago. But alas, that was temporary. Now I find this new drink has just been added to the permanent menu. Mayhaps it has more to do with production costs than actual tastiness. Sure, I had [...]

Young, angry, cynical people…

You can do anything. As long as you can sift through what’s important and what’s not, you’ll be able to do ANYTHING. If you spend too much time fixated on something someone else has, you’ll never get what you want. Most valuable things in life are not material. If you really want people to respect [...]
