Every now and then I see some simple quizzes pop-up on Facebook such as: “Name a state without letter A in it.” The letter can be another, they just switch it around from time to time. This particular post is inspired by such posts. Sure we can go through all the states in our heads […]

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 […]
BACTERIAL GROWTH SIMULATION (Binary Fission)
Here, I present a quick simulation application (runs in the browser) of population growth of bacteria that mutiplies following binary fission reproduction.

They are free, and ad-free. No gimmicks. These will run on any modern smartphone, tablet, PC (see each description below as some are made to […]

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and my results
Some of you may have heard of Myers-Briggs “test” in your career or from friends. I believe the first time I took the evaluation was probably in late 90s to early 2000. I’ve recently retook it and, here, will share some of my self-discoveries. First, a very brief intro to MBTI:MBTI provides information on the […]

Safe disposal of 6-pack rings killers
The six-pack yokes or rings are a set of connected plastic rings that are used in multi-packs of beverage and beer cans in the USA. These are discarded carelessly by most Americans and even though you might put them in recycle cans (if your city has the facility like mine does), they somehow end up […]
