iPhone Numberpad App

As much as I *heart* my LG Voyager (especially its rockin’ Navigation system), I do get tempted to by the lusciousness that is the iPhone. In particular, the Safari browser. Although LG and Verizon like to tout the Voyager’s browser as a fully functioning HTML decoder, the fact remains that it doesn’t work too well […]

As such, the following pictures come courtesy of Mr. Topolsky at Engadget, unless otherwise noted.) The new MacBook […]

Acme Made Camera Bag

There are bag hags and shoe whores. I am definitely the former. J doesn’t understand why I have an entire section of the closet devoted to my numerous bags. He still doesn’t get the concept of dust bags – “Why do you need a bag for a bag?” “To keep my lovelies dust-free, silly.” “Can […]

Yet Another Thing to Love About the Mac

As soon as I switched over to the Mac years back, I bought a big-ass book on Mac OS X and trained myself on the ways of the force…err, Apple. This book taught me many tricks that continue to amaze my friends, even to this day. However, I had never known about this Mac screen trick! Do as the […]

Japanese Goblin Shark

I am deathly afraid of most fish (and birds…shudder) but have always had a fascination with sharks. Swimming with sharks, or at least being shoved into a shark cage, is on my list of things to do before I die. Here is a video of the Japanese goblin shark, once thought to be prehistoric and extinct, that was discovered […]

We’re Still Alive!

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, we’re still alive! The LHC has successfully completed its first round of testing! Here is a picture from the control room: (image via Slashdot) Yeah, I have no idea what it means either. However, just because the first beam test worked doesn’t mean we can rest easily. This was […]

In Case the World Comes to an End Tomorrow…

Unless you have been living in a cave, you should know that CERN is flipping the ‘On’ switch on its $10 billion Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tomorrow. (image via the NYTimes) The LHC hopes to re-create conditions that last existed when the universe was less than a trillionth of a second old. This comic by […]

만화방 (Korean Comic Rooms)

I used to love reading comic books as a child. Korea has huge, thick comic “magazines” that feature some of the more popular series of comics. These monthly compilations would almost always include cliffhangers would keep me whining and salivating for the next month’s issue. My favorite while growing up was 보물섬 (bomoolsum), which means […]
