5 Things to Say Goodbye to in 2010

5 Things to Say Goodbye to in 2010

The 2000s was a wonderful decade for technology. It gave us Wikipedia, the iPod, and social networking. It made flat screens flatter and mobile devices more mobile. It fed us the Internet until we became addicted to it, and now it’s a pivotal part of our daily lives. And it taught us that as a [...]

More Pocky Commercials

More Pocky Commercials

Remember Pocky? It’s a simple Japanese pretzel snack that my friends and I got into when we were in college. There are several different flavors, and it’s gotten pretty popular over the years. According to wiki, Pocky was first sold in 1966 (wow, I didn’t know it was that old!), and somewhere along the way, [...]

Motorola Cliq FAQ

Motorola Cliq FAQ

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! So I’ve noticed lately that ever since I wrote an article on my Motorola Cliq, people have been finding me in their search results. Unfortunately, what I wrote was simply a general review of the device, and so people’s questions were left unanswered. I decided to compile a list of common [...]

24 Things You Can Do with the Web

24 Things You Can Do with the Web

It’s almost time for 2009 to rest its head and let 2010 take over. In the world of technology, there’s been a lot of innovation this year. The Web has come a long way since its humble years in the 90s. It’s amazing that while many of us are now mastering the Internet with our [...]

The Motorola CLIQ

The Motorola CLIQ

I finally got an Android phone! A few weeks ago, T-Mobile released the Motorola CLIQ, one of Motorola’s newest Android phones. It may not be the the juggernaut that is Verizon’s Motorola Droid, but it holds its own with its social networking features, clean UI, and sliding keyboard. This isn’t a formal review or anything; [...]

What’s your personality type?

What’s your personality type?

I’ve been obsessed with personality types lately. You gain such a greater understanding of yourself and others when you realize what forms the basis of those personalities. In college, my friends and I were required to take something called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This psychological assessment gave us a little more insight into how [...]

Google’s Quotas and Limits

Google’s Quotas and Limits

If you’re a heavy Google user like me, you’ll find yourself frequently testing the limits of Google’s free services. After a while, it becomes increasingly useful to know exactly what those limits are. For the sake of my sanity (and for the benefit of others), I’ve decided to a compile a list of where to [...]

Enjoying the New Kindle DX

Enjoying the New Kindle DX

So I got a Kindle DX last week. I wasn’t sure if I would regret paying the hefty price tag for this slim piece of digital equipment, but I think it was worth it. This thing is awesome. I believe I have a new favorite tech toy.

Free Piano Lessons

Free Piano Lessons

Photo by sir_leif Guess what I got for Christmas: A Yamaha YPT-310 Digital Keyboard! I’ve always wanted to learn how to play piano, and now with an instrument to play on, there’s nothing stopping me. Well, there’s still the matter of how to go about learning the piano. What is something free and easy that [...]

A Year Later

Pitiful! Pitiful I say! It’s been almost a year since I’ve updated my website. With the release of WordPress 2.7, I’ve decided to pay more attention to this poor little site. I’ll try to update my site more often. I pay for this site’s hosting every year, so I ought to use it now and [...]

How to Get Math Support in MediaWiki

I’ve been playing with MediaWiki a lot lately. (It’s the wiki software that Wikipedia uses, if you didn’t know.) It’s a nice piece of software, but compared to something like WordPress, it’s fairly complex to set up. Getting math support on MediaWiki was especially difficult for me. It took me a while, but I finally [...]

A Few Good Apps

Software just doesn’t come cheap these days. Photographers who want to utilize the power of the popular photo-editing software, Photoshop, must fork over $700 to buy a copy. Aspiring artists who want to create 3D graphics need to pay $3,500 for the extremely expensive 3ds Max. But fear not; there’s hope. Software may not come [...]

WarioWare Antics

There’s just something hilarious about watching my friend Paul dance to WarioWare: Smooth Moves at 2x speed. I promised my friends I’d eventually post this, and I finally did. Enjoy.
