Finally took advantage of the Netflix trial this week. Watched Fast and Furious (the 2009 version), Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Netflix has really got the DVD mail rental business down to a science i.e. with the strategically placed bar codes, the original DVD envelopes that double up as [...]

We’ve been getting a bunch of product offers, invitations to educational classes and baby show schedules since we put ourselves on mailing list (at our hospital). One invitation in particular caught our eye, it was a two day baby show about an hour and a half from where we live. Thinking it was not a bad [...]

From first glance, it looks like a normal Leopard photo or a realistic painting. However, this is actually a well made optical illusion made by an artist named Craig Tracy. Can you spot the illusion? Click on the thumbnail below to enlarge it. If you aren’t convinced, click here to see how this illusion was made.

I am trying out a new plugin for The Foo Logs. It’s called Apture. Apture adds multimedia to my blog with just one click, keeps readers on the site, and creates multimedia content/ links with less time. You’ll notice a small icon on the left side of each link on this blog (like this). When you hover [...]

Managed to find this leaked trailer on trailer addict. It’s the new A-Team movie teaser. The old A-Team tv series was one of my favs but I’m not sure what to make of it as a movie. It stars Liam Neeson (Hannibal), Sharlto Copley (Mad Murdock), Bradley Cooper (Faceman), mohawked Quintin “Rampage” Jackson (B.A. Baracus) [...]

You may have noticed something different about the blog, I’ve cleaned up a lot of dead links from old non existent sites and defunct blog directories. Plus the useless widgets that I thought would make the blog pretty are gone; they did nothing but make the blog ugly and slowed things down (what was I [...]

Knock knock … anyone there? 16 seems to be the going number for The Foo Logs today, I’ll tell you why… -The number 16 indicates the achievement of power -16 is the count for prophets in the Old Testament -16 is the sum of the four first odd numbers i.e. 1+3+5+7 -John Chapter 3 verse 16 is my one of [...]

Just to let you know that I’m still here. It’s just been a busy summer! The past three months or so, we’ve … 1) Bought a new house 2) Packed and moved (we live in Pennsylvania now) 3) Redid our old house to sell 4) Started my own engineering business 5) J was offered (and accepted) a teaching job [...]

I found something to put on my Xmas list. Put it in your car, speed up to 88 mph and it’ll help you travel back (or forward) in time. It does work better with a Delorean. For those of you who don’t have a clue what it is or what I am talking about, it is [...]

“Keep you friends close, and your enemies closer.” One of the quotes that has always stuck in mind. Supposedly Sun Tzu said it first in his book The Art of War but that claim is subject to numerous debates. My interpretation of it is … you should always keep an eye on your enemies so that [...]

I watched the new Indiana Jones movie last weekend. Here are some thoughts… - they shouldn’t have mixed Science Fiction with Indy Indiana Jones is traditionally known for mythical or biblical adventures, not SciFi. That is what makes him different. You’ll know what I mean when you go see it, there won’t be any spoilers here. Steven [...]

I was watching the third installment of Blade yesterday and it got me thinking about the best and worst trilogies I’ve watched. Here are my picks (in order)… Best 10 1) The Godfather (they don’t make movies like that anymore) 2) Star Wars (the original three) 3) Lord of the Rings 4) Indiana Jones 5) Back to the Future (I love the [...]

Just stop and think about how far we’ve come in technology when Super Mario comes to the computer in the form of a 14 kb JavaScript code. It’s far from complete, and you’ll have to start over when you die but that’s besides the point — I’m in awe that something like that is actually [...]

So it wasn’t a supersized venti after all …

Haven’t been this excited over a movie in years. Finally my all time favorite Marvel superhero is making it to the big screen and it looks mighty fine! You know where I’ll be on May 2nd, 2008. “Heroes aren’t born, they’re built” Interesting trivia from IMDB: # In October 1999, Quentin Tarantino was approached to write and [...]
