A DSLR That Shoots Video

The Nikon D90. Only DSLR that does this at the moment, with all the exposure and depth-of-field control of an SLR camera. About $1300 and I'd say Nikon has the early score against Canon's EOS 50D.

Nice, much?

How To Draw Anything In One Step

An ingenious solution to most drawing problems. In one step.

You may be asking, "How could you possibly learn how to draw anything and everything in just one step? Are you a moron?" And if you are, there is no need for childish name-calling. Let's be civilized adults here.

Follow along as I teach you how to draw everything, in this tutorial.

The Step?

It is amazing what Hollywood comes up with, sometimes.

The Olympics So Far

Everybody's going to be talking about badminton in a bit, so let me weigh in with the sports that I'm watching alone.


Choi Min-Ho is GOD. I am in awe of the Judo he plays. The above throw is a te-guruma, or hand wheel, and he managed to pull it off even though Ludwig was sprawled forward. My jaw dropped open throughout the entire thing.


Oh, and it turns out Bill Gates likes Badminton. Cute pants. Hehehe.


Masato Uchishiba won the 66kg class last night, apparently by landing on the Frenchmen's head, and then choking him. Poor Darbelet tapped out. A great bunch of the Thomian judokas were talking about it this morning, and I wondered aloud how the poor guy felt winning like that.

Tonight's match (74 kg) was won with a 13 second morote-gari (double handed reap). Both Elnur Mammadli and Wang Ki-chun are 19.



Sweet. =)

Acheiving Your Childhood Dreams

As of writing, the following video has 6,065,672 views on Youtube, and 20234 ratings, all of which are 5 star. The lecture is an hour long, and it is so moving and so powerful you don't really know whether to laugh or to cry.

This is Randy Pausch's last lecture, and he opens with pictures of the tumours in his liver. He is going to die, and he knows that.

Watch it.

Olympic Hopes?

It's the eve of the Beijing Olympics, everybody is watching that city with anticipation, some even holding their breaths.



They've promised a spectacular visual feast and all the countries have promised to outperform each other in the competition.

Malaysia is sending a relatively small team hoping for one medal of any colour from whatever event they might garner it from.

China is aiming to prove their dominance.

America is going to defend their Champion title.



Who are YOU rooting for?
