Howdy, so today I present to you a basic picture of where we are (pivoted on USA) in terms on political interests, trades and sources of frictions (even a pre-K should get this!). This is true at this time (things will change over time, I’m sure). Disclaimer: This is not an exhaustive list by any […]

Time and perceptions by age
Hello again, today I’m presenting you a very simple visual that expresses my observations based on my son’s life (who’s just turned 19), my life, people around me (including family, friends, colleagues). This is not scientific and there may or may not be data to support it, but that’s beside the point. The point is […]
My 2nd attempt at rendition of Last of the Mohicans theme
Again, used my guitar to simulate the music. Second attempt, a little better I think. Used 1 electric guitar used connected to my small amp with Reload fx. Then played intro and chorus as separate tracks and recorded them into an open source app; then merged the tracks and edited the length and added some […]
Why NFL rules are obsolete
If you’ve watched American Football for a few years, you have undoubtedly seen game turning, game-churning blown calls by the referees. This is unfortunate because while I don’t think most of the referees are biased or doing this because of backdoor bribing, they are in a tough place to make calls in real-time. It’s just […]
Last of the Mohicans: my guitar hack
I love this movie…can’t get through it without EVER shedding tears, no matter how many times I’ve watched. The breath-taking cinematography, the mind-blowing casting, and amazing acting…and the thematic music backed with a strong story-line. What else do you need in a movie, right? Anyway, I’ve been listening to the theme music over and over […]
Games development using Construct
Hello again, today I will touch upon 2 games I created using an easy to use development platform called Construct. These were done using version 2 (today, they are in ver 3). They were just for my personal learning and fun. It’s mobile and all-platform friendly and there’s nothing to install. Just open the browser and […]
Ventured into new arts wizardy today
Today was my first “encaustic” art workshop! Here’s my output from 2.5 hrs of tinkering with ideas and materials. It’s like sending me out to a hardware/hobby store with nuts, bolts, tools, and motors…you know I’ll build some working contraption when I’m done! This is analogous to that, except in the softer arts sense. No […]
My Disco Lemonade!
This was one of my biggest personal development project that was never published to the world (until now!)…Media Impact. Back in 2001, I abandoned it due to other obligations, but it certainly holds the place of a Disco Lemonade in my portfolio because it has pretty much EVERYTHING and it’s tasty 🙂 Multimedia, concurrent audio, […]
Pet Management – A very early Windows 3.1 program
Now, I’ve always loved having fish as long as I remember. Still have fish 🙂 Ok, this isn’t really about a fish, but rather a coding exercise (in the 90s) while I was splashing around in Windows coding (pun intended). The idea is simple: You have a character (Goldfish in this example), and you have […]
Recall- One of my earlier Windows 3.1 programs
Hello again! So, here’s another of my older software programs I wrote for fun, education. This one’s a “simple” Windows 3.1 program I wrote back in 1995 while learning Windows coding myself (school taught me C, Pascal, COBOL LOL!!). This is a type of a memory game. You have to match at least 2 tiles […]
