Flux Capacitor
2008-06-04 14:07:00 I found something to put on my Xmas list. Put it in your car, speed up to 88 mph and it’ll help you travel back (or forward) in time. It does work better with a Delorean. For those of you who don’t have a clue what it is or what I am talking about, it is ... More About: Flux Capacitor , Flux

Enemies
2008-05-30 16:02:00 “Keep you friends close, and your enemies closer.” One of the quotes that has always stuck in mind. Supposedly Sun Tzu said it first in his book The Art of War but that claim is subject to numerous debates. My interpretation of it is … you should always keep an eye on your enemies so that ...

Thoughts on the new Indy movie
2008-05-29 15:09:00 I watched the new Indiana Jones movie last weekend. Here are some thoughts… - they shouldn’t have mixed Science Fiction with Indy Indiana Jones is traditionally known for mythical or biblical adventures, not SciFi. That is what makes him different. You’ll know what I mean when you go see it, there won’t be any spoilers here. Steven ... More About: Movie , Thoughts

Trilogies: The best and the worst
2008-04-14 01:33:00 I was watching the third installment of Blade yesterday and it got me thinking about the best and worst trilogies I’ve watched. Here are my picks (in order)… Best 10 1) The Godfather (they don’t make movies like that anymore) 2) Star Wars (the original three) 3) Lord of the Rings 4) Indiana Jones 5) Back to the Future (I love the ...

Super Mario on your webpage
2008-04-09 16:00:00 Just stop and think about how far we’ve come in technology when Super Mario comes to the computer in the form of a 14 kb JavaScript code. It’s far from complete, and you’ll have to start over when you die but that’s besides the point — I’m in awe that something like that is actually possible. Be sure to click the mouse on the game if Mario won’t move. When you die, you have to reload the page to start over. And yes, you can move left. Sorry. Regular version: no music or with music Double size: no music or with music Source with writeup, instructions and full script. Share This More About: Webpage , Super Mario

IRONMAN
2008-04-07 01:22:00 Haven’t been this excited over a movie in years. Finally my all time favorite Marvel superhero is making it to the big screen and it looks mighty fine! You know where I’ll be on May 2nd, 2008. “Heroes aren’t born, they’re built” Interesting trivia from IMDB: # In October 1999, Quentin Tarantino was approached to write and ...

Drinking toilet water
2008-04-05 19:39:00 Few months back I watched a news report on how some counties/ cities are recycling sewer water to make it suitable for drinking. The water is then fed back for human consumption and sold to some manufacturers. The water supposedly exceeds drinking standards and is purer than distilled water sold by wholesalers. It is probably very ... More About: Water , Drinking , Toilet

Left handers rule
2008-02-23 18:00:00 With the presidential primaries going on, thought it might be interesting to mention some left handed presidential facts and stats (being left handed myself).
