$100 Laptops
"The MIT Media Lab has launched a new research initiative to develop a
$100 laptop-- a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the
world's children. One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) was announced by Nicholas
Negroponte, Lab chairman and co-founder, at the World Economic Forum at
Davos, Switzerland in January 2005."

Love ko to
Thank God for McDonalds. With my present job as a programmer, I find myself waking in odd hours because my body clock is already used to it. Because I don't know how to cook my own meal, I have to rely on restaurants and cafeterias to supply my body with much-needed energy. The restaurants are already closed at this hour, so I had to sacrifice my hard-earned money just to eat. McDo is kindda expensive. I spend more than a hundred bucks, and I'm still not satisfied. The McDo crowd is different in the evening. I find myself surrounded by Med and Law students who are burning the midnight candle. Anyway, I'll just eat to my heart's content tommorrow.
Dreams
It's been years since I've last remembered my dreams. I don't know why, but it seems that I have lost my ability to recall them as I grew older. When I was a 3-year old kid, I often had this dream, which seems very real, about wandering around our neighborhood accompanied by my guardian spirits (I sometimes see Satan, but he can't hurt me nor can my guardian spirits hurt him). Today, I'll try to bring back that "skill" because I could just imagine the many possibilities I can do in my dreams. I'm no longer a 3-year old kid, so my motivations *ehem* are no longer innocent. Hehe.
The Tao of Programming
When I was a kid, I used to find The Tao of Programming rather boring
and confusing. Now that I'm older (but still a kid, nevertheless), I
now find it very funny because I can now relate.

Yikes. This blog is supposed to be a venue where I can discuss problems, solutions, and ideas
relating to Computer Science and Information and Communication
Technology. I don't know why I can't bring myself into the mood
for serious thinking right now. I've been waiting for it to come,
but it seems that I can only sustain my concentration for a couple
of hours each day.
Anyway, this post shall mark the end of my posting inane remarks in this blog.
