koan = 10.5 x 4
One of the rather bizarre classes I took during college was called ‘Spiritual Care and Healing‘. No, it wasn’t a religious class, but it was certainly a spiritual one.
In it, I learned things like drawing with your eyes closed, writing with your non-dominant hand, journaling for health, imagining white blood cells as members of elite [...]
Happy for Kubuntu 9.10
Kubuntu 9.10 is quickly reviewed, compared to previous releases. The verdict? Not too shabby!

Textbooks will eventually be free.
Swoopo is a Scam
TechChrunch has an article about Swoopo saying that it has a Hint of Scam. Well, SHAME ON YOU TECHCHRUNCH!! It doesn’t have a ‘Hint’ of scam, IT IS VERY BLATANT THAT SWOOPO IS A SCAM!
I am very saddened to find out about Swoopo today, in light of the other scams that have been going on [...]
‘National Scandal’ BBQ
So the theme of the day is ‘The Grilling of AIG Execs‘ over the 160+ million dollars that was given away as bonuses for ‘the best and the brightest’ leaders of the company.
People’s outrage over the bonuses is certainly well based, considering that AIG has been given billions of bail out money, and that, considering [...]

Accidents are daily phenomenons that you have to consider in your travel plan.
Nice and rare vehicles are often spotted here. From Ferrari to Maserati to Ducati to Smart. C-class Mercedeses are as frequent as Honda Civics, and Lexuses are just more common than GM cars.

I choose Fedora because it [...]
ISearch Anyone?
Mike Arrington just posted a story over at TechCrunch that Apple may be building their own search engine.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they do, I think it would be just unavoidable.
See, Google and Apple relationship is like Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s. While they were married to each other, they had to kill each other for [...]
I’ll be bach
This morning someone sent me a joke, I think it’s kinda funny. Maybe you’ll enjoy it:
A director is screen testing Sylvestor Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger for a new film about classic composers. Not having figured out who to give which part to, he asks Sly who he would like to be. Stallone says “I [...]
