Shake your fat away
Here is an interesting article on NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15721992&ft=1&f=1001. Basically, it says if you want to lose weight, simply try shaking it away for 15 minutes a day. Damn, don’t you wish you would have thought of that early? Seriously, anyone who can prove that sitting on a vibrating Lazy-Z-Boy would help you lose weight will [...]
Bee hand pollination
Ok, so I heard about this on KVIE, and it goes beyond the point of ridiculous. In some areas of China, they sprayed so much pesticides, they killed all the bees. Now there ain’t no bees to left to pollinate their trees, so they have to HAND pollinate. Imagine hundreds of Chinese people with little [...]
Javascript: disabled input field

Text Indent CSS Trick
Its 2am and I just discovered something abnormal in CSS. If you are using the text-indent trick to hide text in your CSS, you must set the text-align value to LEFT. If it is set to text-align: right it will not work. It works in firefox, but not in IE or Opera. This is strange, [...]
Windows Vista Sucks
Damnnit!!! After about three weeks of using Windows Vista, my computer has crashed about 10 times already. By crash, I mean I had to hard boot the damn thing. Besides that, Windows Explorer has crashed about 10 times too. This kinda stuff never happened in Windows XP. How is this possible? How can Microsoft release [...]
