Windows 3.1…. those were the days
Posted April 20, 2009
Interesting how operating systems have evolved. Of course, most of you don’t even know what I’m talking about. For example, Windows 3.1 use to be about the novalty and a somewhat functional OS. After people got use to these operating systems, they had to make them pretty and add eye candy. I actually like Windows Vista but of course, I’m sticking with OS X on my Mac.
Here’s a website that shows an evolution of OS interface designs.

CSS is awesome
Posted April 13, 2009
Thanks to my buddy Andrew, I am now the envy of all my nerdy web developer friends. He got me a nice little mug from zazzle.com. Don’t be jealous. You too can have your own very mug.
PS: If you don’t know what CSS is… umm.. don’t worry about it.
Jelly Car, all levels passed

Remember that iPod game I recommended a little while ago? I was able to pass all the levels. What’s next? Improve on my times now. 🙂

I didn’t have any interest in water sports until this:
Mini Hydro Turbine concept
Posted April 6, 2009
I just love reading about new concepts, especially when it comes to alternative energy. I’m not too much into being green (even though I drive a Prius), but there’s something about alternative energy sources that peaks my interests. The Mini Hydro Turbine concept is an interesting concept. Of course, you have figure that it’s not going generate that much power and you might have to leave the water on for a very long time. A great concept but probably some ways to go.
I found this at Engadget
Oyster Pancakes… tie game
Posted March 31, 2009
Well… we played a pretty good team last night. We tied them. We suspect that some of them were playing with their off-hand. Basically what I’m saying is, if they aren’t restricted, they have no business being in our league. Here’s one of the guys on their team. Note, this wasn’t our actual game.
Joining the war against IE6
Posted March 18, 2009
Just joining my buddy George in the war against IE6. For me, this is not a war again Microsoft but against Internet Explorer 6. I’ve ranted about this before but just joining in now with my buddy. I’m not too extreme. I’m okay with IE7, but even then, you’re still using an unsecure web browser. We’re fighting for web standards, secure browsing, more stable browsers, and just browsers that work right. As you can see, I’m not quite as eloquent as George. Make sure to read his blog entry on “a declaration of war against internet explorer 6.”
Copy and Paste on iPhone/iPod touch… Finally!
Posted March 17, 2009
Is it just me or do you find it a little bit funny how people get excited over something that should have been there from the start. Copy and paste is now available on the iPhone / iPod touch.
A quote from the Engadget live blog of the event:
“Now as I said before, 3.0 brings a lot of new features for devs, but for customers as well… starting… with cut, copy, and paste.” Big cheers.
Then I mentioned it to some friends who hadn’t heard the news yet and they were totally excited. This is a feature that should have been there even before the released the first iPhone. Better late than never I guess. For me, I’ll wait for the Palm Pre to come out to make my decision on my next phone. Maybe the next generation iPhone, who knows.
Jelly Car, the best iPod game ever!
Posted March 13, 2009
Just discovered a few more iPhone/iPod Touch games. Probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite would be Jelly Car. It’s a little bit of a puzzle game. You have to navigate through small obstacle courses using the touch screen and accelerometer. Search for “JellyCar” in iTunes.
Some other favorite games include TapDefense, Trace, and Toxic Balls.
