Restrict your flash photography to the first 60 seconds of this keynote.

2008-01-07T05:40:15Z

Last night's CES keynote was rather disappointing. Actually, it was also impressive, in a different way. You've probably heard most of the news through Twitter or someplace else already but here are a few of the big announcements: Zune is comin...

Say goodbye to the Beastmaster.

Every January, there are two big events to look forward to. There's CES and there's Macworld. Tonight marks Bill Gates' last CES keynote before he steps down from his position as CEO of Microsoft. It's quite sad actually. I've decided to quote one...

Metapost - December 12th

Fall/Winter Update

2007-10-31T23:36:09Z

Every one or two seasons, I go through a major update of something. I tend to combine fall and winter, because due to school, they seem so much shorter. I have a series of things I'd like to do to my various projects, so I guess I'll post them her...

Leopard

2007-10-31T00:22:33Z
