Won Best Speaker Award

I won the best speaker award for the presentation I gave out at KGC last year. And this is the proof :)

Fixing My Stupid Canadian Keyboard

If you buy a laptop in Canada, most of the time it comes with a fucked up multilingual keyboard, which looks like this:

Canstruction 2012

While walking around Vancouver downtown, I spotted an eagle inside of the HSBC building. That got me curious enough to get into that building… and guess what..?Canstruction 2012 is happening… So I took some pictures :D

Fixing Trigger Finger?

Since I got my pinkie injury while playing basketball 15 years ago, I have had a trigger finger, a symptom that prevents you finger to bend smoothly: Your finger will be locked somewhere in the middle, and you have to put more force to make it to snap-bend. Yuck….

Double the Budget for Free T-shirts

I read something like this from a game business book, which I don't remember the title anymore (sorry it's been a while. If anyone let me know, I'll update this post):

Lying Throughout Your Career

There was someone who did (have to) leave my company recently. He is one of those people who have to jump around companies after short stays. Yeah, you know why. And today, I happened to read his blog post explaining why he was leaving. A lot of my co-workers enjoyed it because it reminded us of the Lord of the Rings, arguably the best fantasy fiction to date.

Antec 900 Hard Disk Cage Screws

A few weeks ago, I got a free used Antec 900 computer case, and I like it a lot. Lots of room inside, good air flow, and easy to detach HDD cages.
