a train that never stops.

diemhuynh — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:32:29 +0000

so how do we prevent delays in our subway/train systems… by never letting it stop… this also saves on electricity as well as it takes more to stop and start again. Developed by some real smart chinese guy…here I was thinking about running real fast and trying to jump on..lol.

saw this interesting article about how taking naps are good for you… I guess I don’t have to feel guilty for dozing off sometimes at work and in class. If only every job you were at implemented this, then maybe productivity will increase…

3G iPhone 2.0

diemhuynh — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 13:29:15 +0000

so the iPhone 3G was announced yesterday… and boy am I excited. “Twice as fast. Half the price.” at $199, there is no reason to get any other phone out there right now. Now its just gonna be tough waiting another month before it comes over to Canada…

Wii Fit.

so my sister bought a wii fit over the weekend, and i got to test it out for her. Like all other recent Nintendo products, its a blast at first, but when you get right down to it… the fun and excitement factor won’t bring you back day after day. Unlike other wii games where its says its giving you the needed exercise, the wii fit does actually feel like a workout. The kind whereby you tone your body, not get rock hard abs… overall it will attract old, and female gamers, while the hard core gamers will usually stay away.

Helvetica.

diemhuynh — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:28:00 +0000

at work yesterday we all watched the documentary of Helvetica. It’s a different film, with very interesting parts. Do go out and get it if you like design or typography. But be warned if you are not a “design” person, or you would have a great nap throughout the movie. Throughout the week, we had debates whether people liked it or not. Even though that picture may make you think that I don’t like it, I actually do… just though it was an interesting t-shirt.

you can find other interesting t-shirts at their website. Link

Predictions…

so Euro 2008 is about to start… and i decided to join the pool at work. I know nothing about it though, so just went with countries that are usually good… hope this works out.

2 OT and still going…

so just finished class today, and caught some hockey when I got home. I haven’t seriously watch hockey since the Gilmour days in Toronto… and boy was this game exciting. Penguins tied the game with around 40 seconds left… and its still going on as I am writing this… I wonder how this will end tomorrow…
