Microsoft Bing – Careless or Stupid?
Look closely at the action links on the top right. Come on, seriously, if I was this careless at my job, I would deserve to be fired immediately! At first I thought it was just in any other browsers besides IE because Microsoft is a dick and does not test in other browsers, but that’s [...]
Programming slowly
As a novice programmer constantly seeking to better myself, I am usually up at 3am pouring through Google search results for debugging help. Very rarely, next to never, do I just plainly give up on a piece of code before understanding what I did wrong. Even if I have an alternative path to fix my [...]
Demoracy Fails
When in an argument, my fiancee often says to me in a patronizing tone, “So everyone is wrong, and you are the only one that’s right??” After two years of George Bush, Kris Allen wins American Idol, and the passage of Prop. 8 in California, I can resoundingly say — YES!!! In fact, most experts [...]
cell phones in prison
cell phones in prison. That is freaking ridiculous… How does someone even get a cell phone past a metal detector? It has tons of electrical parts that should be setting off alarms left and right! It’s also absolutely ridiculously that we can’t jam cell-phone inside of prisons because some law. Aren’t law supposed to protect [...]

The Best Man – a good movie about politics
As a result of a lazy channel-surfing Saturday morning, I caught a myself a good movie about presidential politics: The Best Man. It’s amazing because although the movie was made in 1964, it squarely captured the sensitiment of today’s modern political mudslinging. It was so good and relevant, it seemed almost prophetic. Issues that they [...]
The smell of fresh rain
On my way home from work several days ago, I caught the scent of something delightful that I haven’t experienced for a long time — the smell of fresh rain. Ok, so you are probably wondering — it rains all the time — what’s so special about this one occasion? Well thing is, if you [...]
Human kindless is worthless
On my way home the other day. I saw a homeless man with a sign that reads “testing the value of human kindness”, next to his collection pan. Sad to say, human kindness is only worth two pennies. However I doubt anyone gave him just two pennies. So most likely those pennies actually belongs to [...]
