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 [...]

Just a quick note on how I was able to upgrade my wordpress from version 2.2 to 2.7. I have other blogs in version 2.6, and they’ve really made some major design changes since.

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. [...]
