Recently, I came across Bill Gates’ first resume from circa 1974 in a Microsoft almni discussions forum. It’s very interesting to see how it was customary to put in the candidate’s number of dependents/children, height, and weight even though it was for a white-collar job. I also find the innocence of some phrases used by […]

Creating music and teaching coding
Have you heard of Earsketch? It’s an amazing, fun way to create music while learning, practicing, teaching coding! Yes, music and coding all in one with its online, free platform (for students)…you just need a browser. It supports Python and Javascript coding in their online editor and you can compile and run the code on […]
CPU-generated structural art – CONSTABUILD
This program I dub ‘Constabuild’ is a cross-platform Python app I wrote that generates ‘random’ shapes in ‘random’ colors, in ‘random’ starting positions, for ‘random’ repetition of the selelected shape and color…creating unique patterns/art every time it’s executed. While the app is 100% self-running, there are also some fun commands user can give at run-time […]

War Card Game in Python…free download
This is a classic War card game implemented in Python for Windows. It’s a very easy game to learn and play. The coding of it was actually more fun and challenging. It’s a 2-player game that even kids can play and is a great time-spender. In this game you’re playing against the CPU. The game […]
A Manifestation Formula
Will your dream come true? If so, how likely is it? What really is your desire composed of? And are there factors that affect that, if so, what are they; and which ones can we control? Following the search for answers to these questions, my ultimate quest was: Can we manufacture a formulation for quantifying […]
A Curious, Remarkable Artist’s Profile: Wain
Louis William Wain (5 August 1860 – 4 July 1939) was an English artist best known for his drawings, which consistently featured anthropomorphized large-eyed cats and kittens. Later in life, he was confined to mental institutions and was alleged to have suffered from schizophrenia. According to some psychiatrists, the onset of schizophrenia can be seen […]
Murphy’s Law – Joking aside 😉
One of today’s most recognized physical laws is Murphy’s Law…one of the seeming fundamental laws of mankind: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” In this post, I discuss its brief history, and entertain the attempt of mathematically formulating his maxim in order to apply to some real-world sitations. The history: The adage or truism, […]
Google honors the father of fiber optics
I found this out “accidentally” today (November 4th) while searching something on the Web, from Google.com landing page. This is what it looked like: As I looked at the binary numbers in their cartoony animation, I see they are:010010110100000101001111 which then translated to text, decimal, and hex are as follows: ASCII Decimal Hex 01001011 K […]
A Very Simple Etch A Sketch Type Program (Python)
Here’s a fun, little application using Python. In this post, I demonstrate drawing lines using just the arrow keys on the keyboard (up/down/left/right). The drawing direction is determined by the arrow key pressed as shown in the clip below: With each keypress a line is drawn in the direction of the arrow head, which is […]
