Why do we even need to deal with webfonts and its various formats? I have enough pretty, cool fonts!

In all likelihood, they don’t (unless the fonts are ubiquitous)! […]

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.

My SW Projects – a subset of many
This page is a single, nifty starting point for various projects (apps, utilities, research tools, games, etc.) I developed for desktop, webapps, and mobile devices for intellectual curiousity and fun.

Another fun game: Pick Out
Greetings. This month, I developed another game as a web application (HTML5) that employs auto-scaling, sound, and responsiveness on all platforms that support a browser.

Ig Nobel Prize Winners: 2021

Very interesting indeed and although it made me […]

Potential Sculpture Designs

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 […]
Site discovery: Compare places in many ways
I recently stumbled upon this site while looking up some stats on a specific country and wanted to also compare them with another country. The site is MyLifeElseWhere and I have been quite impressed by its simplicity, usefulness and user-interface; so much so that I think I should share this with others although I have […]
