Game of the Day: Lightbot

What do you do if you’re bored, feel like being challenged and/or hope to be (or are) a programmer? You play Lightbot! A game designed by Coolio_Niato, this game is about a robot who is trying to light up tiles. You can walk, rotate (which is mind-boggling!), jump, light up a tile and call functions.…

Temple Run- the most addictive game

Temple Run – Live Action! Have you heard of Temple Run? It’s the most addicting game you’ll ever play. You basically run in a temple, collect coins on your journey and overcome obstacles (jump over the fire and a tree). I questioned why it was so addicting, and then it came to me… The aspect…

Keppler 22b: a second Earth?

Despite all the prospects of having another habitable planet like the Earth in sci-fi movies, little support for the prospect from the scientific community has arisen in the past few decades. That is, until Dec 5, 2011 when NASA announced the presence of an Earth-like planet located 600 lightyears away that orbits a sun-like star…

Kids on marriage

Kids really do say the darndest things. Bill Cosby can vouch for that. But what would they say about marriage, a concept we presume they know very little about?

Nyan cat, the most annoying meme ever, or an amusing musical piece? Either way, the title has piqued your interest and I’m going to post my favorite videos related to Nyan Cat.  [youtube QH2-TGUlwu4] The original Nyan Cat video…extended.  Bothersome? Perhaps. Strange? Of course. Addicting? Absolutely! [youtube P0bpK7kPRys] Pianos + Nyan Cat = Cooool [youtube…

Annoying things about Valentine’s Day

I don’t want to try to sound like every other cynical person, but for me I find these man-made holidays to be kind of unnecessary. Like most holidays, they start out as humble, well-deserved holidays. But since capitalism has kicked in, corporations have jumped on these holidays like jack rabbits; making up excuses to waste paper, plastic and our money to try to throw to other people. Oh, and creating really lame and clichéd movies that are not worth $10.

Photo of the Day: Valentines Day Heart

Just a little fun capture of a heart while I was playing around with taking abstract photos. Keep in mind that I’m thinking of all my readers this Feb 14! Remember, love isn’t just a feeling shared with a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. Honest love for parents, siblings and friends are one the purest forms of…

How to ‘bookmark’ audiobooks

If you, like me, have a love for good stories being read aloud to you in the form of an audiobook, the worst thing is not knowing where you left off  and having to physically look through the hours of and hours of tracks the next day. Fortunately, this problem can be easily solved by…
