Hello again! I was going through my floppy disks (what’s that?) in my vault and re-discovered many of my older software programs I wrote for fun, education and some were actually sold worldwide (one native DOS program and several Windows applications complete with installation, help and all). This one’s a relatively tiny program that’s big […]

Where can you play arcade games online?
In keeping with the nostalgic theme, I did a quick internet search to see what’s out there. One of the most interesting and most effective way to run all the classic games natively is through an open-source DOS version called FreeDOS. You can download the system from their site (link below) and then you’ll have […]
Nostalgia (80s-90s) – Pt 3
It was early 90s…very early. I was in Berkeley, not attending Cal but working at a high-tech company located next to the campus as a support engineer to help pay my student costs. A product manager if you will wanted to show us the first-ever browser, forums, etc. fully working with actual UI! It was […]
Nostalgia (80s-90s) – Pt 2
In this part, let’s explore (or recall if you like) some of the life-defining sounds of the games of the times. Here’s my short list (there are more, but that’s not the idea here…you can always go seek out more after this on your own) of the games and their sounds I gathered in my […]
Nostalgia (80s-90s) – Pt 1
Feeling nostalgic…you know, the sounds of the classic Atari and NES games I grew up with (and some of us even coded parts & mods of them later when we learned “shi+”). Alas! Despite the latest xbox and ps4 and PC games, I get a little hit on my diaphragm when I hear the sounds […]
Let’s talk movies!!
By now (after reading my intro and initial blogs) you surely recognize a few defects about me: I am atypical I am eclectic I’ve been around the world in many continents and cultures…and have really lived them. Therefore, you expect my taste in movies to be quite unique as well. I generally dislike (I don’t […]
Intro to my music
Who doesn’t like music, right? As with drawings and paintings, I am completely self-taught guitarist, lyricist, composer. I created whatever music genre just for myself. Never intended to sell, I did put them up on various music sites (SoundCloud, Amazon Music, etc.) for free downloads over the years. In most cases, I also published lyrics […]
Intro to my art-work
Hello, stranger! I’ve been doodling before I could write legibly. Completely self-taught, it was just a vent for my creativity. I’ve dabbled into sketching, painting, charcoal, photography, sculpting, ceramics, and of course…a man’s gotta build something with this hands! Meaning, building small furniture to fun constructions. I don’t have a dedicated site of my arts […]
Howdy!
Just finished setting up the basic pages and layout for my blog. NO, it’s not my first blog! I was one of the very early adopters of blogging. Then I got busy, and the blog sites went kaput! Here we are now. I’m sure I’ll tweak them as we go along. For now, I have […]
