Slumdog Millionaire (2008) →
The story of how impoverished Indian teen Jamal Malik became a contestant on the Hindi version of “Who Wants to be A Millionaire?” — an endeavor made without prize money in mind, rather, an effort to prove his love for his friend Latika, who is an ardent fan of the show.
I haven’t watched it yet, but I do like an indie film every now and then.
World of Goo is a physics based puzzle / construction game. The millions of Goo Balls who live in the beautiful World of Goo don’t know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.

You can’t measure something like this in time.
There is a series of steps.

From her bed to the front door. Bam! Out of there! Next!
Haha too funny. I love this show.

Sake Review.
I have been drinking this for a while. Its called Zipang. You can pick it up at BevMo in Torrance. Its really good, I still have a couple of bottles. Might have to open a few for the holiday break.
The video is kind of lame. You can stop watching after the first minute or two. But the Sake is good!

Let me see what my situation looks like.
1. Two Monitors: Check
2. Fast PC: Tricky since I removed the company OS image which takes Windows 5 minutes to boot and 7 minutes to shutdown. So MY PC is fast… everyone else… slow.
3. Their choice of mouse and keyboard: Not bad, Check.
4. Comfortable chair: Not bad, Check.
5. Fast Internet connection: NO!! And this does eat up a lot of...
Custom Stackoverflow RSS Feed →
I wanted to make a RSS Feed for Stackoverflow. I could only seem to get feeds with one tag. I tried to create a feed by using ‘java + html’ however that preforms an AND query. So it only gives me questions with both Java AND html. So I wanted an OR operation. After some searching I found out that you just add ’ or ’ between the tags. So heres my RSS feed with all questions...

Hey interwebberz,
As you might know, I just updated the layout of the site. I think it looks good but I also added a couple of new features. One is a search box! You can now search the blog (Powered by Google), read my latest twits, and also a PayPal donate button.
So me and Jon spent about 20 minuets trying out the searching and looking for his comment on picking up a girl at the coffee shop....
Realtime results for me on Twitter →
Kind of cool… lets other people get a view of your reply’s if you ask a question on twitter. Now.. if only I had more followers then this would actually be useful, I’m no where near as cool as Vader.

There are no fewer than 10 new Terminators in T4 →
The videos look good. I hope they can live up to Terminator 2. And that theme song plays in my head when I am running or doing crossfit.
There’s no need for the Terminators to appear human, so they show up in various forms, including the giant Transformers-esque Harvester, the motorcycle Moto-Terminators, and the underwater versions, which you can see snapping at John Connor in a brief...

“I find your lack of faith disturbing.” - Darth Vader
Ranks #2 in The 100 Greatest Movie Characters. Even though I like Brad Pitt, I say Vader should have won, he is way more badass!
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along! Its Neil Patrick Harris. He has been pretty funny these days.
Aspiring super-villain Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) wants to join the Evil League of Evil and win the girl of his dreams, but his nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion), stops him at every turn in this three-part musical.

Yes! I picked up a new MacBook on Black Friday. It has the new touch pad with 3-finger gestures, however, they are not supported in Firefox. But the lastest Beta has support for it now!
Supported gestures are even more robust than Safari’s support and include (“Swipe” refers to 3-finger Swipe):
Swipe Left: Go back in history (hold Cmd to open it in a tab)
Swipe Right: Go...
