Spreading some creamy, UI goodness

From the “So ERGOnomical, it hurts” dept “UI Goodness” is an affectionate term for good User Interface Design that my former co-worker, Mike, would often say. I admire Mike; he’s an artist and a geek. Unfortunately, I can only emulate the latter. On the topic of UI goodness, I saw a few things on the […]

Friday Night at Roxy Blu – Garage416

From the “high school flashback” Dept. Went clubbing last night at Roxy Blu. Had a good time. A lot of Waterloo people there. A lot of old high school chums. Seeing all those people brought back a lot of memories from university and high school. Back in high school, I was what some people, most […]

Three Wonderful Years.

From the “I Love Jennifer So” Dept. I just want to say that the past three years with Jen have been great. I am only so lucky to have found a girlfriend that understands me as well as she; how I love her so. To meet a person that I can love, and for someone […]

Grandmother

I saw my grandmother yesterday. For those of you who don’t know my grandmother, she is 87 years-old and underwent total-hip replacement surgery on Jan 11th to repair (well, replace actually) her left hip which suffered a spiral fracture after a fall in December. I took her to the hospital for her post-operation checkup (she’s […]

Stuff.

Hey all, I upgraded to the newest version of MovableType, the PERL-based engine that renders my weblog. Some headaches with the upgrade, although I think things work. I’ll eventually wipe the site and rebuild. I finally seemed to have broken the inertia that has kept me from finishing this site, so you should be seeing […]

Long time, No Blog

From the “I’m too bored to blog” Dept. Hey All Anyways, I’ve done a lot in the past few days. Saw Monsoon Wedding (the first “Bollywood” movie I’ve seen in the theatres), and damn, I need to get some more “brown“ friends, because if that movie is any indication, Hindu (or is it Hindi..please correct […]

Fitts Law Revealed

For those of you who don’t know what Fitts’ Law is, all I can say is that Fitts’ Law maintains that “movement time” can be mathematically expressed as a function of the distance travelled and the size of the target. More specifically, MT = K log2(A / W + 1), where K is a constant […]

Corporate Anthems, Security, and a new Fitts’ UI tool.

From the “Let’s all sing a long” Dept. I was trolling through the web—NO, I was NOT surfing for porn!—and I found this site that catalogues the 20 Best Corporate Anthems. Too Funny! Actually, I have to wonder: “What were these people thinking?” My personal theory is that there was a bit of “Keeping up […]

Garth Fagan Dance

From the “Taking an interest into what Jen, my GF likes” Dept. For Jen’s Birthday, I bought her tickets to Garth Fagan Dance at the Harbourfront Centre yesterday. He is a Tony Award winning choreographer (his most recent success being the Lion King) from NY State University. When Jen and I went to see Les […]
