I did some tweaks on the previous sketches I made before. I was trying to make a “bokeh” effect by blurring the circles a bit. But the filter blur in Processing was a bit too strong and I still don’t know how to control it yet, the result was something far from the [...]

I find myself going back to learning Processing when I feel the need for fresh air or escape. Someone told me that I was too technical to be creative. Working with highly technical people, this was something new to me. I always am thought of as creative than technical. I [...]

Pictured above is not the much talked about Google Chrome OS. It is, in fact, just one of the windows inside the Google Chrome browser. While browsing, I right-clicked inside the screen to reveal a menu and saw “inspect element.”
When the announcement of Google Chrome OS came out, it did cross my mind [...]

Ironically, I saw this link on top of Gmail: “Wired Top Stories – Google’s Data Culture Drives Designer Crazy, and Out.” Of course I had to click on it. It turns out that Stopdesign founder Douglas Bowman is leaving Google as its Visual Design Lead. According to his blog at stopdesign, he [...]

Although this may not be something new, I’m impressed at the fact that Wordpress came out with an app for iPod Touch and iPhone for free. I’m testing it now and it looks very east to setup and use. The keypad takes getting used to of course. Now I wish that I have an iPhone [...]

There are rumors in the mac news blogs now of a new iPhone: a Nano version. I’m really curious to see the price point that they will make this at if it is true. There are mockups of 3.5 inch screens here. I thought of mocking up another version using 2.5 inch screens [...]

Version 2.2 actually looked very clunky and un-web-TwoPointOh-ish. But 2.7 now has a draggable dashboard similar to Google’s [...]

 
Just a couple of weeks back, I blogged about how I was moving my files to a PC.  Well that experience convinced me that I really need an upgrade.  Although the PC experience was not too bad there was the occasional screen freeze and yes I got “the blue screen of death” about 3 times… possibly [...]

Yeah… well my trusty ol’ 12″ Powerbook G4 has been sluggish lately. And there is a desktop PC on my desk which has been gathering some dust. I thought of de-centralizing my work and moving my files to this Pentium 4 1.6 GHz with 1GB ram, using my Powerbook as a secondary machine. [...]

It’s rare that I post tech news on this blog but I think this deserves it. Yes its true, only a few hours ago, Microsoft just made an unsolicited bid to acquire all of Yahoo’s outstanding shares at $31, pricing Yahoo at $44.6 Billion. NY Times reported this so it can’t be a hoax. [...]
