Quick question: is anyone here actually excited about the Kinect? I was totally underwhelmed by it back when it was called Project Natal and Peter Molyneux was telling us that it will change computing forever and be more ground breaking … Continue reading →

I don’t have review post for this week so I’m posting a quick poll instead. Actually, it is poll and a question rolled into one. I was wondering which do you guys prefer Science Fiction or Fantasy? {democracy:26} I know … Continue reading →

Wait, what? Part two? Where is part 1? Did we miss it? Oh, wait… Never mind. I found it. The story here goes like this: back in 2007 I had this crazy idea to make a Tetris clone. I was … Continue reading →

I love meaningless error messages. I didn’t take a screenshot of this particular one but it said, and I quote: Error “Setup.rul 380” has occurred and Setup cannot continue This error occurred when I wiped clean a relatively new Dell … Continue reading →

As you may or may not know, I am one of the unhappy users of a Blackberry Storm. The storm is not actually such a horrible phone. I was pretty happy with it when I first got it. But then … Continue reading →

As you may have noticed, I have been messing around with python quite a bit lately. I remember trying it out back in college and using it on few small projects and then abandoning it for a while. Then I … Continue reading →

So yeah… This movie looks a lot like Fallout 3. Yep, that’s pretty much all the good things that I can say about it. Stylistically, it reminds me of a game I like. Sadly that game had a better script. … Continue reading →

It was Monday and the incessant blinking LED on my phone just wouldn’t leave me alone. It was demanding attention. The LCD display didn’t help either. It was showing a large 1 accompanied by an envelope. Someone has called the … Continue reading →

I have inherited yet another old laptop. This time it is a lovely Compaq Presario 1800. If you have never actually seen one of these, here is how it looks like: I have no clue what is it with my … Continue reading →

I just wanted to share an observation with you. Maybe you have experienced this too. Let me know. Recently I came to a conclusion that a lot of people are really into team sports. And I don’t mean that they … Continue reading →

Vampires are in right now. They have suddenly become fashionable and sought after. You could say that this was probably caused by a bunch of very poorly written “wish fulfillment” novels that drove teenage girls crazy. But Twilight novels seem … Continue reading →
