Because of the oxidation issue I experienced with my Powerbook in the past, I concocted a home-made “wrist-rug” for my Macbook Pro.

Casino Royale
Got to watch Casino Royale last night.
While I was never really a fan Mr. Fleming’s Bond series (I find Mission Impossible more fun to watch) I have to say that people should cut the new guy some slack. If you get past the whole stigma of James Bond having to look really good, I’d say this new guy did pretty well. Not that the movie had a lot of “acting” in it, but you know what I mean.
Anyways, I couldn’t get the theme song out of my mind. It was awesome. When I first heard it, I said to my girlfriend:
I think this is Audioslave, I’m pretty sure the singer’s Chris Cornell.
I still wasn’t sure since the musical style didn’t sound like Audioslave – it sounded more like Cornell’s songs during his stint as a solo artist. Sure enough, at one point in the credits, it stated clearly stated “Chris Cornell”… not Audioslave.
Anyways, here’s the song (which unfortunately isn’t released with the OST)
A response to the response to the THES World University Rankings
As an alumnus of the school [Ateneo], I received this letter…
(Note: On Oct. 5, 2006, a global survey of higher educational institutions — the Times Higher Education Supplement – Quacquarelli Symonds [THES-QS] World University Rankings — was released. Among thousands of universities surveyed, 4 from the Philippines made it to the top 500. These are the University of the Philippines [299th], De La Salle University [392nd], Ateneo de Manila University [484th], and the University of Santo Tomas [500th]. [The complete results are posted in QS Top Universities Website.] To enlighten the community regarding the results of the THES survey, the University President writes the following response .)

To this, I only say: yadda yadda yadda.
Videos from [my] MacBook Pro sessions
Here are real-world examples of how the new MBPs perform. The purpose of the videos isn’t so much as to show how much faster (or slower) it may be compared to other systems – but to ease Apple users’ minds should they be considering an upgrade.
First I’d like to apologize for the horrible video quality. I was using an external iSight which had a hard time focusing (it would switch focus every few seconds, so I had to kill the auto-focus) The movie was captured using a small resolution setting so YouTube then blew it up… and ergo the blurriness.
Below, you will find a blow-by-blow recap of what I was doing in each video. Read More

I decided to give it a try – and bought myself one of those numbering stamp-thingies and came up with this:
