I remember when I was a kid, my parents had a film camera. I wasn’t allowed to even get my hands on it (trying to have what I can’t have was the very reason that sparked my interest in photography).
Back then, film was, for a lack of a better word, a scarce commodity. Pressing the [...]

Yesterday, I went to the mall to look for a new pair of headphones to replace my old pair that served me well for almost 4 months, and I got this yesterday for my iPod Classic for just around $10. I must say, the included pouch and extra cushions is a nice touch and something [...]

Mac OS X is known for its ergonomics, out of the box features, and its intuitive user interface. Sounds almost perfect for most people, but it isn’t all fun and games (literally). A lot of game developers prefer to compile their games for DirectX, Microsoft’s proprietary graphics API. Obviously, this means Mac OS X, which [...]

I’m not really a fan of having a Christmas wish-list (heck I never even wrote to Santa Claus when I was a kid and I hate to break it to you boys and girls, but he ain’t real!!!), but since everyone seems to be doing it, I should join the bandwagon and make one myself.

I liked my last theme (Freshy) until I realized it looked more like a ripoff of a late 90s webpage. So I spent all morning looking for a good free wordpress theme, but to no avail.
The current theme is the best one that I could find, and it will be my current theme until I [...]

I was looking at the iPhone with the voice recorder screenshot the other day, it had an “analog” VU meter at the bottom for monitoring audio levels and thought to myself; “what if I had a VU meter for my PC it would be cool”.
