Pleased with the Lastest Google Chrome

I've been using Google Chrome as my primary web browser because of its minimalism. However, there was one thing that was somewhat pissing me off: it was always using the primary monitor's screen dimension as full-screen size, even if the window is on my second monitor, which has a smaller resolution than my primary one.

New Monkey Island is Coming

Yay… finally.. it's called Tales of Monkey Island…

Space Marine is Announced

It always feels so good to see my game is being announced because finally I can say what I'm working on. I'm working on Warhammer 40K: Space Marine. And this is the first video we released. (The video which was circulating on YouTube last year has nothing to do with our game although it bears the same name…)

Math Behind Photoshop Blending

If you are a graphics programmer in the game industry, you will always have your beloved artists say something like this: "Hey, I want this Photoshop blaa-blaa-blending in our game!"

3D Pixel Perfect Object Picking with Hash

I ran into this article, which describes how to do object picking using a render target and a simple shader. Yes, this is basically how we support pickings in game editors nowadays thanks to programmable shaders. =)

Something Has Changed

Being unable to be motivated to do anything this lazy Saturday, I ended up watching E! True Hollywood Story on TV. There were two episodes(?) back to back, one about someone I don't even know, and not worth remembering anyway, and the other one was about J.Lo.

Inspiring People Creating Innovations

I'm currently reading a book called The Art of Innovation, and it mentions the author's company has been covered by ABC once sometime ago. I managed to find the Youtube videos, which I found inspiring and worth sharing… so enjoy, it has three parts in order.

Frog Jesus

I found this very very short film on YouTube. Thought very brilliant. And later I found this one won some award in 2007, and also is Canadian..

Time to Resign

Time to resign from my part-time jobs. Sucks… kinda… since I know I've been working hard to make these happen, but it's necessary, so I don't think I will regret it.

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…
