I happened to watch the excerpt of “fighting gravity” from America’s Got Talent. Judges were like “you are so original”, “great”, and so on. However, it’s not quite original in my opinion. I believe credit should be given to the japanese matrix ping pong.
Anyways, here are two clips:

I received an email from Aetna (my insurance company) regarding cholesterol numbers and thought it would be useful to remember what numbers are desirable and record it as a reference.
Total cholesterol
Desirable – below 200
Borderline high – 200-239
High – 240 or above
in web development, pulling data from query string is the basic and fundamental task. In node.js, the syntax is like this:
http://{host}:{port}/?name=shinstudio.com1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | var http = require('http'), url = require('url'); http.createServer(function(request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type":"text/plain"}); var urlObj = url.parse(request.url, true); response.write("Hello " + urlObj.query["name"] + "!\n"); response.close(); }).listen(8000); |

I’ve launched a sorta social site “groupstick.com” few weeks ago. Since then I’ve got some users signed up, but they are all from my work place. I should add a section for instruction since people told me that they did not know what to do with basically. That was a good point indeed.
I know what it is for since I created it. If I summarize what the site is for, here it is:
main features
security
public group feature
private group feature
I have to admit that the site needs more features. However, I think groupstick.com is ready for more users and users can take full advantages of it.

The first thing that came to me was how the hell new ISP’s price model gonna affect this? The trend is that ISPs are capping the monthly bandwidth. If consumers start viewing 4096p videos, how soon they reach the cap? Like this article http://goo.gl/WxMH. I wonder what’s the result off the test out though?
Maybe. it’s maybe. google has a plan to become major ISP throughout many cities and towns at affordable price with no limited bandwidth to support what they just announced?

It’s like yammer, but groupstick.com is much simpler and open to everyone.

I wonder what Yahoo TV widget team will do next? Will they come up with something similar or let Yahoo TV widget fade out? I think it will be latter unfortunately and that’s my final answer since Yahoo is transitioning into Media company from Technology company. Period.
