2+2 is NOT always 4. Here’s why…
Okay, being a little esoteric here. Sure 2 units added to 2 units (whatever the unit is) will add to 4 units (whatever the unit is). A man with 2 balls arrives and gives you 2 balls. Another man (or woman) with 2 balls give you the 2 balls…you carefully count them and they’re exactly 4 […]
Break Time!
It’s break time…from whatever you’re doing or normally do on the hamster wheel 😉 Let’s play a simple game of solving a relatively simple math test (you’re encouraged NOT to be an academic/math pro! but a normal guy like the rest of us). So here we go… Enjoy and comment with your answer (all are […]
The Curious Cumin
Cumin is presently grown in many countries including but not limited to India, Sicily, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and China. Not only due to its usage in dishes as spice, but perhaps even due its newly re-discovered health benefits. Benefits of Cumin seeds: 1. Beneficial for digestion 2. Lowers cholesterol 3. Effective for diabetes 4. […]
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 […]
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 […]
