Palm Tuesday
Haha, I've finished my XTremEz Tuning Fork. It's quite fascinating that the correspondence of the naming of various pitches is not absolute; it changes throughout history. Like nowadays, the A above middle C is at 440 Hz. But during the last century, it was something else!I caught Hitch today at a cinema that is showing new shows since there are half price tickets at...

Palm Monday
Phew, I just uploaded the updated guitar and violin tuners at Palmgear. My thanks to David Malone who wrote to me and suggested the improvements in this version. He also requested a tuning fork as well. Let's see if I can get the source code right.For GoogleCacheLand: the freeware Palm OS Development Suite (PODS) is really cool. However, one thing that's still not totally...

Happy Easter!
"Have ye here any meat?" said Jesus to His disbelieving disciples.~Luke 24:41I think today's scripture reading is one of the funniest, most comforting and informal lines I've read in the Gospels. Everyone didn't know what was going on. Even though Jesus had told them before that He would rise from the dead in three days, they didn't understand it. His followers had just...

Good Friday?
"Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."~ Governor Pilate of Judea/John 19:6Today is Good Friday. I'm not sure who coined the name, but I wonder what's so good about today. Truth of the matter is, this was the most horrifying and worst day ever. It was absolutely terrible! The swift and unlawful trial and execution of the Son of God. I think...

Live Strong
Almost 7000 cyclists took part, the majority of them choosing the longer route. I didn't even know Perth had so many people. Did the whole city turn up?! It was fantastic, taking over the expressway and riding through the tunnel. It's like heaven on earth, no cars, just bikes. No petroleum powered overweight metal cages carrying their disproportionately laden (human)...

If you hit me, baby, one more time, I'd sue!
I signed up for next week's 30km Freeway Bike Hike to Joondalup, so decided to do some practise today by cyling to Fremantle. The odometer showed 15km at Cottesloe, so I headed back. The wind direction was from the south-west, so the trip back was much easier. Maybe next time I'd go all the way to Freo.There's a booth at Myers promoting Britney Spears' fragrance called...

Black or white
The difference between a human and a black swan is that as a human grows older, he/she starts getting white hair. The reverse happens with the black swan. As the cygnet ages, it grows black hair (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Changes to hair colour in the development of Cygnus atrat...

Health Minister's New Hypothesis: What I Said Yesterday Was Pure Junk
Singapore, Singapore -- Senior Minister of State for Health Dr Balaji Sadasivan issued a new hypothesis today: what he said yesterday might be pure junk. "Don't get me wrong," Sadasivan told reporters. "This is just a hypothesis. More research is needed. In the meantime, don't believe everything I tell you."In a Straits Times article yesterday, Sadasivan quoted an "unknown...

Happy Labour Day! I just found a place to stay, consistent Internet will be available in probably a little more than a week's time. I tried the new computers in school. Microsoft's new keyboards and mice are surprisingly comfortable to use. They use to make joysticks, but a few years ago stopped doing so. Some speculated that the reason was because the hardware was so...
