Pixar Animation Studios, Emeryville...a visit here is inevitable. We love Pixar movies and isn't it but normal for a graphic artist to dream of working with them? Well, not all but let's say hubby is one of them. We've watched virtually all Pixar movies starting from Toy Story to Cars 2 and the shortfilms from The Adventures of André and Wally B. to Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation. And we'd surely watch their movies scheduled to be released soon and 5 years from now. I said all that but can't find his artworks, illustration featuring kawaii cartoons apart from the marvel heroes series he made. This is the thing - a bit shiny than usual (got lotion? ^_^) modelled after .... do you ...
Gone to see the Giants…Internet Giants (no.2)
Gone to see the Giants…Internet Giants (no.1)
(hubby's desk) As mentioned in a previous post, hubby loves Apple and that on the day Apple's genius Steve Jobs died, was the day he was set to fly to LA and San Francisco...a step closer to Silicon Valley. After frolicking around Los Angeles and other parts of California, Las Vegas and parts of Nevada and Vancouver, hubby stayed with a friend in San Francisco. The said friend has been an online buddy and they've collaborated in a number of online games. He eventually became hubby's friend. This was their first personal meeting. He's now working for a successful Facebook game developer. He and the whole family were very nice to tour hubby around and let him play like a kid at their ...
What’s Common On Most Programmers?
Believe it or not (well, I can't believe it too before), there are traits and personality that are common on most programmers. Just a reminder, these are just based on my own observation on programmers I met. I don't generalized, but I believe in it. The purpose of this post is to help the newbies know if they have same characteristics most programmers have. If none of these is applicable for you, don't lose hope. It's always your will and guts to decide. ...
Facebook Social Energy App
The Energy software startup Opower partnered with Facebook and the environmentalists at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) with a plan to launch a Facebook social energy application next year. The app will enable users to check out their energy usage compared to friends and national averages and get other energy efficiency tips. Brilliant! This is how the power of social networking should be used. Most Facebook apps were and are used for good whether you agree or not — one is to make users engaged, let the app go viral, and in the process affect user behavior- for the better! So if users are to participate in this, they'd perhaps be more responsible in using electricity, affecting ...
Here’s to the Crazy ones
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for ...
What Programming Language Should You Choose?
One of my former students asked me what is the most in-demand programming language now, for he wants to study it. He said, he wants to get a job easily after he graduated so he wants to study a programming language that will give him a career. I've been with the same dilemma when I was still in college. There are times that I want to be a master in Assembly language, or in C, or in Delphi, or in VB, or in Java or Python. In most of the times, I always want to learn Java. So, I studied it and show interest of learning it. I even attended a month-long training about Java programming. But guess what, I just learned the basics, and nothing more than that. ...
