Quick Thoughts on Apple’s New iPad
Click here and here if you haven’t been keeping up.
Beautiful hardware, as always.
GUI looks awkward. To have the same icon sizes as the iPhone but on a much bigger screen just looks proportionately wrong. Maybe this takes getting used to.
Why are 3G models an extra $130? That makes no sense to me… [...]
Ramen Rankings and My Ideal Ramen
Alright, I figured I’d take a break from my typical motivational mumbo jumbo and write about another passion of mine: food. In this case, ramen!
After going to Shinsengumi in Torrance this past weekend, I felt I’d been to almost all the notable ramen joints in both norcal and socal, and thus able to write knowledgeably [...]
Lacking Motivation? Go Toward The Groans
Ripped. Torn. Decimated. My muscle fibers scream for a break as I work them towards failure. Sorry, but you guys won’t know to grow if I don’t break you down first. Bright fluorescent lights beam down as the groans of weight lifting comrades and their dumbbells thundering onto the floor echo across the room. I’m [...]

Don’t Forget: You Are Your Vocabulary
Words. They are such fickle objects. Changing one in a sentence could change the entire sentence’s meaning. Emphasizing one in speech can change the way people view you. Can words alter the direction of your life?

The difference lies in the definition of being rich versus being wealthy. This has been discussed many times over on the [...]
Want to make boatloads of money? Invent seedless mangoes.
Does anyone realize how much more fruit that would be? The seed takes up probably half the entire fruit (at least 1/3), so a seedless mango would literally have DOUBLE the amount of fruit! My mind explodes with its potential awesomeness.
This way, you don’t have to deal with the archaic practice of cutting up a [...]

Knowledge Digestion Tip #1: The Right Way To Use RSS Feeds
If you don’t know, I am an absolute knowledge junkie. I scour the internet daily for all the information I can possibly digest. Going from website from website takes eons though, and as an engineer, I would never let myself be that inefficient. In this post I’ll be discussing my first and most important tip [...]
[Good Reads] The Recession, Grit, and The Truth About Exercise
An eclectic 3 this week.
For Many Americans, Nowhere to Go But Down
An introspective look into how people are really being affected by the recession. It kind of annoys me how careless they are with money in certain areas though, such as cigarettes and alcohol. Will definitely make you appreciate what you have.

DIY: Refrigeration Inspiration
Sorry for the lack of posts, was gone at UniCamp last week (which was amazing, btw).
This post is about a simple inspirational arts & crafts project that I’ve been continually doing for the past few months (it’s so simple I’m not even sure it qualifies as arts and crafts). After reading this, you’ll either go [...]
