• I Hate Thunderstorms!!! A Poem

    I hate thunderstorms
    By Chongchen Saelee

    I hate thunderstorms
    a prelude to the snow
    For neither are guaranteed safe
    But a snowstorm doesn’t come with thunder
    or lightning for that matter
    The chaotic crashing sounds reminds me
    of uncertainty, nature, the unknown

    That there is no God.
    We are surrounded by randomness.
    Things we cannot control
    Or should want to control.
    Because it would make us weak and cowardly

    We’ve braved through the storms before
    And we survived it. All of them.
    And there is light at the end.
    And nothing to fear.
    And we march on again.
    And we continue with our mundane lives.

    We task ourselves with goals not supreme.
    To keep ourselves occupied from the truth
    That eventually the storm will return
    And all that security, hopes, and joy fade again
    only to remind us how human we are
    that we cannot control the storm

    We are afraid of storms.

  • Doritos Crash The Superbowl Ad Contest Rules Says Can Steal Your Entry And Not Give Credit

    So Doritos brand tortilla chips runs this contest every year to draw in user-made ads that aim to play during The Super Bowl. BUT, you have to read their fine print. Check this little cheat in their official contest rules (link above, can be found via their official website, also link above):

    By entering this Contest and uploading your Submission, you irrevocably grant to
    Sponsor and their agents, to the extent permissible by law, the unconditional and
    perpetual right to post, display, broadcast, publish, use, adapt, edit, translate, dub,
    and/or modify such Submission in any way, in any and all media, throughout the world,
    for any purpose, without limitation, and without notice or consideration to you.

    You know what that means? It means that if you submit an incredibly awesome ad that you came up with all by yourself, starring yourself, then Doritos can steal your idea, or use some Hollywood hocus-pocus and erase you out of it, or do whatever, and not have to tell you anything about their con.

    That’s some shady stuff.

    Why not just say: make us a commercial for free? That million dollar prize is just to trick you to make us an awesome FREE commercial, of which we will profit off of.

    ALWAYS read the fine print.

  • How To Track Down Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pics Hacker

    How To Track Down Jennifer Lawrence Nude Pics Hacker
    By Chongchen Saelee

    If you haven’t been informed, apparently a hacker has unleashed a collection of nude pics of female celebrities via 4Chan. The hacker seems to have obtained the pics from iCloud or some kind of cloud network that these female celebrities subscribed to. Most of the pics’ context involve them in sexting or post-coital states of undress. Some just look like selfies. They look authentic, and two of the compromised actresses (Jennifer Lawrence and Mary Elizabeth Winstead) have confirmed they are real. The Mary Elizabeth Winstead ones look tame and intimate (the context she claims she shot with her husband), so that one looks convincing. But the Jennifer Lawrence ones don’t make sense. Was she a prostitute? She looks exploited in some of those pics. If they were during sex, they sure are strange. If you’re an actress, you’d only pose like that for a man that was a real bad boy. Think Pamela Anderson via Tommy Lee.

    So that leads me to the real point of this post. Who posted these pics? (more…)

  • Dude Makes Homeade Exoskeleton Suit

    http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/31/homemade-weightlifting-exoskeleton/

    The dude can lift up to 170 some pounds “easily” but as I watch him do it, I noticed that it would be physically impossible if he didn’t already have the legs to support the weight. It’s all physics. He mentions this at the end of the video that he wouldn’t be able to lift 300 pounds. That defeats the purpose of an exosuit. You shouldn’t require your own effort. The Japanese and DARPA already have one that look like a folded out toilet but that one looks too clunky and slow. Cool effort though. No real reason anyone should ever need one in day to day life.
