Probably the only detailed wax figure at the museum. The rest of the figures were pretty bad. This hitler figure is scary has hell…

Airport Customs Officials

jstatic — Sun, 30 May 2010 19:17:45 +0000

Alright, i recently went to San Francisco with my friends and i realized how rude and pathetic some US customs officials can be. Do they believe being rude and whispering to you is going to somehow expose a terrorist? Maybe it was because i was brown also? Probably not, because one of my friends was brown too and didn’t experience the same level of incompetency of the custom official.

I’d only assume he had a problem with the shirt i was wearing or something like that….

University Computer Project

Just completed my Computer project at University. I built this computer, while experiencing a lot of pain. It was no easy task. It performs a few instructions such as Increment Register A, Increment Register B , Mov AB, Move BA. Nothing too complicated. This computer design architecture is based on the Intel 1970′s design. Yup…. Thats old !

According to TrekMovie Experts, the sequel is expected to film in early 2011. Thats alright, but who’s the villain? Stay Tuned for that, because i’m keeping close tabs on this sequel. I hope its khan, because he’s the best villain in trek-lore.

Random Tech: Bootcamp Errors

jstatic — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:06:29 +0000

Recently, I was trying to partition my drive via bootcamp and I received an error :

Instead of a complicated solution that would involve Booting up on the OS DVD……

Simply, Install a Defragmenter on CNET downloads for the mac and defrag your drive. The Mac generally doesn’t need a “complete” defragmenter because there is no need for it, but sometimes errors occur, such as the case above.

Movie Review: Up In The Air

jstatic — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:40:33 +0000

In society, everyone sets themselves up for disappointment by planning their lives too much. When these planned lives do not meet expectations, people fall apart. This is not the case for Ryan Bingham.

Up In The Air is a drama mixed with some light comedy. This is not only an enjoyable movie to watch, but it also features a strong message for the audience. Do not plan too much, Do not get disappointed at every corner of your life. Instead, just live for the moment. The main character of this movie is a rogue corporate worker Ryan Bingham who is responsible for firing workers all across the United States. Ryan meets a young worker who lives a stereo-typical life and afterwards embark on a journey into the different facades of life.

I must admit, Ryan reminds me of myself. He is very skeptical of life and his lifestyle (no home and constantly flying) represents his skepticism. Ryan Bingham is a lost soul and cannot conform to the stereotypical dream life. I won’t spoil the plot any further, but these themes are easily relatable to anyone.

Jason Reitman (director) has created a drama masterpiece. This drama does not take it self too seriously, but does not become a parody. I encourage everyone to watch this movie because everyone can learn a lesson from this movie.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

(I hate quantifying my reviews for movies and since this is my first movie review , I will either recommend a movie or not)
