Writing In Metapad
While web surfing a bit, I came across a blog post titled: Hand Holding a Calculator Inside the Monitor. Once I took a minute to figure out how the heck the illusion was done, I gave it a try. It was a bit tricky since my laptop’s screen is not wide screen. Fairly satisfied with the results there you are. No photoshop used except for cropping the image.
According to Hitwise, the leader in competitive intelligence. Facebook has surpassed Google for the week ending in March 14, 2010 by becoming the most visited website in the United States. You can read more details here.
Apparently Facebook is steadily climbing and it really is not surprise. Chances are that someone you know with access to the internet, (whether it be by a computer or mobile device) is already on Facebook. Sure Google is the #1 go-to-site for searches, but there is one little thing missing: FarmVille!
For those who wish to compare. Which one is better? Its not about which one is better because they are both different animals all together. Google is the king of search and Facebook is the king of social networking. Then again you’re more likely to find that long lost High School friend on Facebook than on Google. While Google knows just about everything about us internally, Facebook knows the external. Just something to think about.
SDSU Men’s Basketball Team Lose to Tennessee in First Round 62-59
I’m not much of a Basketball fan. Don’t ask me why, I’ve just never had too much interest in watching the popular sport. This year however the fact that the San Diego State University Aztecs (men and women) basketball teams made it to the first round of this years’ NCAA tournament certainly grabbed my attention.
SDSU have never won an NCAA tournament game and this year seemed like a good year to finally win one. Now I understand why they call it “March Madness.” The fast-paced and exciting action makes for rapid heartbeats and sweaty palms. There were times where I was making sure that it was excitement due to the game and not a heart attack.
With the health concerns in check (at least for the moment) SDSU could never really capitalize on the mistakes Tennessee made. They had a lead in the early minutes of the game but after the Aztec lead was lost it would never be recovered. I kept screaming at the television for them to “stop trying to score three-pointers and go for two. You’re all not THAT good!” Sure enough SDSU ended up losing the game by a score of 62-59.
A good effort for the boys in red and black. Speaking of which San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders declared yesterday that today Thursday March 18 officially be “Red and Black Day” in honor of SDSU Aztecs basketball.
Now its up to the women to outdo the men Sunday at 4pm when they square off against the University of Texas Longhorns. Good luck!
