I hope this will distract you.

A scientific test conducted by National Enquirer
has proven that consumers of all media are hopeless idiots. I hope they’re right,
cause this is all I have:

Sorry

Hey readers,
Sorry I haven’t posted. It’s been hectic. I had to register for school, then had to do some reading.
Working on an article, got school next week.
Since I don’t monetize this, I’ll say: don’t expect any posts next week. But don’t unsubscribe!
I’ll be back soon enough!
*Yawn*

Optimus awesome-us

It’s Latin for optimal awesomeness, and it
describes what I’d like to do in college and beyond.
As mentioned on my “About” page, I want to go to MIT. Not mentioned in my about page (until now, just updated) is that I also want to work at Google.

Why Google?

For one, their offices in Cambridge are less than [...]

The end of commercials, a proposition.

My dad is one of those people. You probably know
a couple. They never watch commercials. Never. They switch between channels, often missing a lot of the show (unless they have PiP).
It annoys me. I miss so much of the show when I watch television with him. I also hate commercials. I’ll watch ‘em, but I [...]

How WordPress’ Timestamp feature saves you a ton of headache.

I wrote this post three days before it was published.
Yesterday’s post? Also written on the 2nd.
Gone are the days when I posted more than twice a day. I now like a queue of posts. This helps when you have writer’s block. If you have a backlog of posts, the content keeps coming and you’ll eventually [...]

Cleaned up my blog and The Simpsons.

The Simpsons Movie is really great. I would
suggest seeing it even if you don’t like the show. It’s really not for younger kids though (animated “bountiful penis” all censored till one ironic part).
It touches on many family themes, but never ever stops the humor. “Alaska, where you can never be too fat or too drunk!”
I [...]

Why Java is seeing its final days.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it
again: I hate Java! It’s clunky and (like Flash, another thing I’m not a huge fan of) takes special add-on software to use (JRE and Java Applet Plugins and Flash Player, respectively).
But thankfully, it’s [in my prediction] not here to stay much longer for most things. It will [...]

My thoughts on the OLPC project.

Yes, I’m late, but I really do think sometimes (the
horror!) and I couldn’t find a better topic for my post today.
There’s a project called One Laptop Per Child. It aims to bring 3rd world countries laptops for their kids. One per kid. Absolutely free. It’s nice but a bit…well, just read on.
Sometimes called the $100 [...]
