• You Can Now Text 911 In Case Of Emergency

    http://news.msn.com/us/you-can-now-send-texts-to-911-in-an-emergency-1

    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.

  • Official Batsuit and Batmobile Reveal for Superman Vs Batman

    Why do I get the feeling it will be called “The Dark Knight Returns” now?

    Very basic. Very vigilante looking. Not something “created by the government”.

  • How To Screen Craigslist and Backpage Ads For Real People To Meet

    By Chongchen Saelee

    In this follow-up article to my previous one, I want to continue into the specific details and techniques I use to screen out fakes, time-wasters, cops, catfish, etc., when I’m trolling Craigslist and Backpage for dates. (more…)

  • Superman Vs Batman Official Plot Synopsis

    By Chongchen Saelee

    I think Superman dies in “Superman vs. Batman”. It’s much like “Empire Strikes Back” when Han gets frozen in carbonite. They’d want to leave SVB open-ended with a cliffhanger. Otherwise you won’t watch the last movie in their franchise. So this is how it will play out… (more…)

  • All-Knowing Eastfist: Skilled Programmers Will Be Highly Valued

    By Chongchen Saelee

    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. And the exceptionally skilled, ones who actually come up with intuitive and innovative things is even more rare. For the most part, the average programmer doesn’t think outside the box. 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…)

  • All-Knowing Eastfist: Skin Batteries For Robots

    By Chongchen Saelee

    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…)

  • Self-Motivation When Drawing Comic Books

    By Chongchen Saelee

    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…)

  • How to file a Privacy Act Request with CIA or other US Federal Agency

    By Chongchen Saelee

    It’s hard not to take things personally when you’ve realized your entire life has been under surveillance and scrutinized meticulously. It makes you question whether or not you’re an equal citizen, or a tool of the government, an expendable pawn. I have it in me to eventually submit a formal request to find out what the US Government has documentated about me. Or should I just ignore these losers and try to live my life?

    And ironic of all, they charge you a fee to get that information about yourself. Who knows what kind of garbage they have written about you or is made up. Talk about sadistic.
