Gareth Edwards is a talented director if you’ve just learned that this is only his second major motion picture. But I being a heavy consumer of all-things American, I spotted too much of the same-o-same-o to really be too impressed. (more…)

It’s not as efficient as immediate help from people around you, but if you REALLY REALLY GOTTA TEXT, assuming you can use your fingers, then you can text to 911 along with your location and your emergency. Of course, this won’t work unless you have texting service. Smart phones don’t automatically have a stress beacon.
It’s only available for certain regions right now, but service is provided by major providers AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
Settings varied from F/16, ISO 800, 1/350 sec exposure

Much like the appeal of doctors, programmers tend to have a similar reputation because the skill required to do the job is rare to attain.

They aren’t creative. They are just another cog in the machine. And that’s why when problems arise and the problem-solving falls back onto them, the solutions usually aren’t that good. (more…)

I want to start a new gag called “All-Knowing Eastfist” where I predict the future or come up with a new idea for future technologies. In this edition, I propose a technology called “skin batteries”. Much like solar cells and existing batteries, skin batteries would store the energy in a container. (more…)

For those who dare stay tuned with my life, I’ve been busy working on an independent comic book called “Jackpot Bloom”. The script runs about about 100-some pages. I’m officially 34 pages in, and I have yet to color them. There’s also the marketing materials and covers I have to paint.
The problem when you’re trying to tackle these momentous feats of projects is you may get burned out. (more…)
