Takes some getting used to the clunky interface and completely missing guide, but after some trials and research you can complete the game. The graphics and audio are still stunning albeit its age. Below is just a glimpse (downscaled by Youtube…looks gorgeous on a large 4K screen). After clicking Play, be sure to change the […]

Bill Gate’s first resume (made public)
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.

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, […]

Monet’s still painting brought alive
Here I’m sharing my first little experimentation with animating a still image. Not the cheesy, cartoony added animation layers on top of the image like TikTok or most other apps feature these days, but rather using the intrinsic pixels of the original image and manually specifying which pixels would move, how fast, how far, where, […]
