We got my little sister a nice Acer Aspire One for her birthday this year, the newly designed AO532H-2588 that has better battery life and runs faster. However, due to an unfortunate accident this summer, the LCD cracked, rendering it almost useless as a portable computer. And with that, I inherited a broken netbook! (And if you were [...]
As a follow-up from my last post, here is the update on what you might have guessed as my touchscreen picture frame PC. I’m glad to say that it is now happily mounted on my wall and running! Here are some more pictures to show the remaining work I did to make this work: If [...]
It’s been pretty quiet over here so I thought I’d give a sneak peek into what I’ve been up to lately. Currently, I’ve been super-focused @ work with some really exciting stuff that maybe I can talk about in some distant future, but along with that, I’ve got several projects rolling!

Recently, I’ve been checking out the beta of the new Xbox update that is releasing soon and I was pretty impressed with the Twitter App in the update. And although the whole Twitter phenomenon is strange to me, I see the potential it has combined with other technologies. And with that, here’s showing a bit of my [belated] technophilic side: [...]
My friend, Chris, is an awesome game developer who taught me quite a bit about what it means to make a game. He recently commented on an article called “What Pac-Man Really Looks Like”, which brings up the question of whether a disassembly of the Pac-Man program is what the game really is. It seems [...]
I’d been meaning to write about Taylor Swift for a long while now and it seems like after the Kanye West incident at the MTV Music Video Awards, there couldn’t be a better time to explain my praises for this amazingly talented singer/songwriter.
