  did you know that lucasfilm released cyberspace, as known to most as second life in 1986. For the C64? What on earth?!?? Yes indeed.
  
  Look at how bad that is ahahahahhhahaaa
  
  
  
  check it out here
  
  Today, a woman divorced her real wetware husband for committing adultery on second life. That's right, she virtually caught him with a prostitute. Now, I don't know if being a proper sad case is good grounds for divorce... but I don't think that's cheating. Anyhow, that's journalists for you. It was probably the "fucking asshole" more than the "he's cheating on me".
  
  They thought that it would be easy. It wasn't. They never even released it. It just wasn't worth the hassle. But they did do a pilot, and learned plenty.
  
  But speaking of engineers, and actually people in general, this was the quote that made me post this.
  
  
  We were initially our own worst enemies in this undertaking, victims of a way of thinking to which we engineers are dangerously susceptible. This way of thinking is characterized by the conceit that all things may be planned in advance and then directly implemented according to the plan's detailed specification. For persons schooled in the design and construction of systems based on simple, well-defined and well-understood foundation principles, this is a natural attitude to have. Moreover, it is entirely appropriate when undertaking most engineering projects. It is a frame of mind that is an essential part of a good engineer's conceptual tool kit. Alas, in keeping with Maslow's assertion that,
  

  "to the person who has only a hammer, all the world looks like a nail"

  
  , it is a frame of mind that is easy to carry beyond its range of applicability. This happens when a system exceeds the threshold of complexity above which the human mind loses its ability to maintain a complete and coherent model.

  
  

  </TT>

  
  

  It's a good phrase. Whatever conceptual tool you're using, that's how you think. If you use pixel based programs, you can't think vector. 

  
  

  Ironically, should MS Office be all you ever use, "to the person with only a hammer, all the world feels like your thumb".

  Isn't it great that if you think you can make it better, now you can change it?

• Whoah, realtime!

  This rather frightening website is called Stickam.

  
  

  I blogged about this 2, 3 years ago when it was a baby, and the video segments were the size of postage stamps and made everybody look like stroboscopic zombies. It's come along leaps and bounds, to form an animated myspace.

  
  

  I will shout in the shoutbox when my clearly superior in all respects all singing and dancing chatbox is alive and manned.

• Hong Kong features in 21st Graf history being made

  2008-09-09 2:21PM / 資料

  There is a not so secret organisation called the Graffiti Research Lab. One of their founders just went missing in China, last seen in the hands of the police. Hey ho, that'll teach you to mess with the olympics, Sino Tibetan politics is just too complex to get mixed up in. Best stick to the Art, mate.
  
  Anyhow, the organisation have been doing some AMAZING work. Longest distance Tag ever. In the city of all those mental lighting displays, well, it's ideal really.
  
  Watch the pretty lights
  
  And witness the future of shouting
  
  
  Welcome to the 21st Century people. If it's the quietness of obedience you're looking for, you won't find it here.

• This Crap that people call mistakenly drum'n'bass

  2008-07-23 5:40AM / 標準BLOG

  It isn't very good a lot of this crap they're peddling as drum'n'bass these days. A reminder from the originals.
