This actually makes we want to get an iPhone LOL.

Probably doesn't apply to anyone unless they had a tonsillectomy but either way, its hysterical (credits go to Wubbie from the internet):

10 Things I Learned About Having My Tonsils Removed

1. Like many people, I research things on the internet. I looked up adult tonsillectomies and found a lot of scary stories about the agonizing pain and unbearably long recovery time. This probably bothers doctors, because patients get their heads filled with half truths, hyperbole, and reports that only highlight the worst possible scenarios. I read a lot of those horror stories, and I am here to tell you that every single word of every single one of them is true.

2. The first written record of a tonsillectomy occurred in about 1 A.D, though some have reported a case as old as 1,000 B.C. in India. In any case, tonsillectomies have been around for a long time. In the olden days, surgeons used a sharp knife to cut out your tonsils and let you deal with the pain for a few weeks. Today, surgeons use a sharp knife to cut out your tonsils and let you deal with the pain for a few weeks. But now the knife has an electrified hot edge, so it actually burns and sears the raw, tender flesh as it cuts. Nice going, science.

3. Advances in healthcare technology have dramatically improved some surgical procedures. Nowadays if something is wrong with you, surgeons can use nanotechnology to inject a microscopic robot inside you (complete with a camera and miniature laser guns) to vaporize the bad stuff. Tonsillectomies are the opposite of advancement. When a surgeon performs a tonsillectomy on you, they are not getting “medieval” on your ass. Tonsillectomies aspire one day to be medieval. Tonsillectomies are more accurately classified as “barbaric”.

4. The surgeons performing tonsillectomies don’t even wear scrubs. They were black hoods and cowels.

5. Contrary to popular belief (perpetuated mostly by that episode of The Brady Bunch where Cindy got her tonsils out), you do not get to eat all the ice cream you want. This is a cruel fallacy. Ice cream is a dairy product, and it will stick to the back of your throat, causing you to have to continuously swallow. Did I mention it’s agonizing and almost impossible to swallow? Thanks for the false hope, Cindy.

6. Screw Atkins, South Beach Diet and Weight Watchers. You want to lose weight? Get your tonsils taken out and enjoy your new forced diet of Ice n’ Jello™. That’s it. For a week. And the first few days is just ice. You’ll have that bikini body just in time for Spring!

7. I do not want to hear from you if you had your tonsils out when you were a kid and don’t remember it being “that bad”. Once you’re past 25 or so, it’s a whole different ball game. If you have your tonsils removed when you’re 8 years old, it’s true, it’s not that bad—your body is still developing, the top of your skull is still hardening, your teeth are just coming in, your legs are still wobbly. But when you’re in your 30s, your body has grown accustomed to having an inside to its mouth, so removing it really puts the rest of your body in a foul mood as it tries to figure out what the hell just happened.

8. Since you can’t swallow, pain medication must be given in liquid form. Most hospitals will not supply take-home prescriptions for morphine drips or heroin (especially not my totally uncool hospital), so during recovery you get to bear witness to the awesome healing powers of liquid Tylenol with codeine, which is the same stuff they give infants when they’re too young for Flintstone vitamins.

9. To spare the future discomfort of your loved ones, if you have children under the age of 18, take their tonsils out right now. Do it when you get home from work tonight. If you are over 25 and still have your tonsils, for the love of God, I beseech you, KEEP THEM.

10. For those lucky souls who have not had their tonsils removed, please consult this convenient diagram so you can better gauge the relative discomfort of a tonsillectomy:

Look at this cool augmented reality using a mobile device to render 3D images with stuff in real life. Pretty neat.

Hey, what's up everyone. Good ole' Skorpion here dropping by to say "hey I'm still here!"

Well, I don't have much to say, things are just as boring as usual over here, but like Psy just said in his last post, "YouTube it is!"

So based on that inspiration, I give you this:

Hambugga!
BTW Psy, hope you get better soon.

Because of which, I haven't eaten much of late, making me unable to do any real thinking, so youtube it is! P.S. I found a hysterical video (might be old, but w/e)

<3 Lonely Island

So, after reading the book (quite a while ago), I was a bit hesitant about the movie. Luckily it was a while ago, so I forgot much of the plot details. Watching the movie, it was quite an amazing film. Gotta say, even if you have read the book and are afraid that the movie is going to be bad... Think again. It was packed with action, suspense, and thrills (Much like all Dan Brown novels) and mixed science and religion in a way that was not offensive but showed the darker sides of both. After the movie, I went right away to read the novel again, and boy did they leave a LOT out. The movie, as a whole was very good, well thought out and complete, but as always compared to the book... it just doesn't. The movie by itself is something entirely different to remember. It had its own little touch of flavor. It has a bit of a dark comedy aspect to it, which was surprising yet amusing. And of course, there is a twist at the end you will never expect. All in all, of you like action, mystery and thrillers, you will love this movie.

For my next hardware project, I'll be making Pong! On a 4x20 LCD Character display! In the name of Science, he said "Yes"!

That's right... Katamari Forever!
