Lost Journalism - CNN

I've always thought CNN is a reliable news company until I saw the article, Papa John's founder warns against eating too much pizza today on www.cnn.com. Yes, it's a nice title and nice content. But, where did the founder warn against eating too much pizza? Com'on… Seriously are you writing a news article or a marketing promo slogan? He did NOT warn. He said Pizza has nothing to do with obesity: it's more about how much you eat regardless of what kind of food you eat. And he even mentioned Pizza is very nutritious, thus healthy. Yeah, I'm really glad to see CNN finally joined Fox News, woohoo…

Steve Jobs is Just an Icon

As soon as Steve Jobs took a leave for 6 months due to his health problem, Apple stock was hit heavily. A lot of news was pretty much saying "without Steve Jobs, Apple is fucked" As you can guess, the Apple stock declined for some days. So I bought some Apple stocks.

Free Tax Return Software

I have been using QuickTax so far, which costs around $20 per return. And I recently heard about this free tax return software called StudioTax from RedFalgDeals.com, but was not sure how good it is even if it has been around for years.

Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts

So apparently a book called, Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts, was published a couple of months ago. You might like it if you were a big fan of Monkey Islands or Maniac Mansion like me. To be honest, I do not care about their Star Wars games….

The Soul of a New Machine

Engineers are aesthetes - Tracy Kidder So are game developers… well… at least some of them are…. well… almost… - Me

Do Something

This is what Al Gore said in the movie, An Inconvenient Truth: There are a lot of people who go straight from denial to despair without pausing on the intermediate step of actually doing something about the problem. Although he said this to urge people to act on the global warming issue, I think this statement can be applied to anyone who just likes to make excuses about their lives.

Unprofessionalism Pisses Me Off

I'm known, or notorious, for getting pissed at unprofessional people. My definition of professionalism doesn't involve acting nice, or fake, or always wearing big grin on the face: this kind of people are just super unprofessional, so they have to pretend professionalism in that way.

Good Students Cost Less

Yesterday, I've just finished my marking job for this term at BCIT. Whenever I mark, I keep thinking that current tuition structure at any institution is somewhat unfair to the students who are kicking ass, thus not creating much headaches of instructors and school.

Awesome Andrew Sheret

My little cutie boiler have been acting up for a while, thus making me sleep in the cold room quite a while. This 15-year old baby had some gas-shutoff problem and then flame sensor problem, which were all fixed about a month ago or so. That's all good. My plumber all took care of it. I think I could have easily replaced the flame sensor, but not the gas valve. I'm totally a chicken when faced with gas-related problems. It just stinks…… :P

Fun of Learning

I like new things. Or should I say I get bored at shit so quickly? Maybe… Anyways I like to know more about new things and learn. Whenever I say I like to learn, some people take it as I wanna go back to school. Hell no, that's not what I meant.
