Its hard to believe this isnt computer generated. But this beautiful spiraly fireworks show that lit up in Norway on Wednesday morning is now being answered as “failed launch of the Bulava missile” from a Russian Sub.

I for one, being a fan of conspiracy theories, sci-fi and unexplainable occurances believe that this might be something else.

Internet scams crack me up…

Tumblin, tumblin, tumblin all day long...

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:07:18 -0500

I wish i could sit at work all day and write blog posts all day and post and re-post videos, clever commercials and quotable quotes. However, i sit all day writing reports, changing engineering drawings, messing around with prototype parts, meeting with suppliers and sitting through meetings that could probably kill someone with boredom. I wish i lead a more glamorous life… glamorous like a god damn magic show.

My parents were recently visiting from Pakistan and stayed with me for around 7 weeks. Eventhough 7 weeks sounds like a long time, it flew by fairly fast!

My mom and dad are undisputedly the cutest couple/parents ever. Let me support that statement using the following:

1. They just had their 30th wedding anniversary on Oct 26th.
2. They squabble about everything. Absolutely everything and go into the minutest details but then move onto other things to squabble about.
3. Since during the weekdays i would be gone from home for about 12 hours, my mom and dad would find ways to entertain themselves. For my mom that consisted of taking the bus or walking to the mall, target, walmart, panera, sams club etc. For my dad that usually consisted of staying at home and trying to find websites through which he could access news/newspapers in Urdu/about Pakistan
4. My mom loves to shop. And loves the concept of being able to make returns with full refunds. Which means most of the days when i would come back from work consisted of me taking my mom shopping… or making returns.
5. My mom cooks the most delicious Pakistani food. Eventhough im a decent cook myself, she didnt let me cook at all during her stay and made dinner for me everyday that i came back from work. She even prepared a lot of food and froze it in conveniently sized ziplock bags.
6. My mom bought random small things and sprinkled them throughout my apartment. Im still finding new things i never knew i had which my mom left behind.
7. My dad still things all First Person Shooter video games (like Doom, halo etc.) look like “Wolfenstein” which was the first one he ever saw me play back in the day.
8. My dad can browse the internet and find the most obscure and totally unpublicized Pakistani Urdu news websites to read online Urdu newspapers and TV shows but when it comes down to writing an email or copying photos off of a camera, he draws a blank and insists i do it.
9. And yes, my mom throws down some mean gang signage…

I <3 my parents….

This morning when i walked into work and was placing lunch in the common area refrigerator, i found this taped to the vending machine.

The note on the bag suggests that there are mice that harbor within the dark and gloomy enclosure of the vending unit and munch on the goodies inside.

What the note does not take into account is the possibility that maybe the mouse was trapped inside the Doritos bag, using it to escape the packaging plant and just ate its way out to freedom??? I like that explanation better…

Microsoft Courier Notebook (tablet/netbook?)

I imagine this is ,quite possibly, making Apple quake in its undies.

There is a good article about the Courier at pcworld.com. Following is an excerpt

Its design just makes sense, for a number of reasons.

Maximum screen real estate in a small package: Assuming each display has the 800x480 typical resolution of a 7-inch LCD, the Courier will have 125 percent of the number of pixels typical of a 10 inch netbook with a 1024x600 display. It will achieve this despite being approximately 30 percent smaller.

Intuitive input: One of the criticisms of conventional tablet design is that its input area eats into the display space. By having dual displays, you can have your working document on one screen and your virtual keyboard and virtual multi-touch track pad on the other.

Pen & Finger Multi-touch: Multi-touch is great for intuitive scrolling and object manipulation. Pen input is great for jotting notes and drawing. The Courier might be the first device to incorporate both.

As an e-book reader: Its folding design gives the Courier the intuitive look and feel of a standard paperback. Though its display won’t be as easy on the eyes as the Kindle’s gray scale ectrophoretic display, it returns readers back to a familiar form factor.
