Coal-fired power generation in Australia is probably less than half of 1 per cent of all global emissions, so he's got it completely out of perspective," he said.
6,000,000,000 People
1% of global emissions means that
6,000,000,000 x 0.01
=
60,000,000
so as a population that is almost a third of this figure we are the source of 1% of the worlds global emissions. According to the website below this 1% constitutes 80% of power supply… Continue

Letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs
Dear Apple Community,
For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.
Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.
I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy t… Continue

So then, this is 2009 is it? Hmm. Sad that my first thought upon typing that was ‘Christ, it’s been 20 years since Ghostbusters 2 came out’, but what can I say? I was born a geek and will be one forever. New year usually brings with it a brief sense of new beginnings, time to start over, start afresh, change, grow, blah blah.
This year I’ll be concentrating on building on the beginnings I made last year and generally trying to make a few things better. I figure if I aim for the clouds, it’ll fe… Continue
So recently, I was asked to write a posting about something an article in the news that I have read and decided to post it here: Enjoy.
As a child, I remember going to Pastor Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church in Orange County and have always found it a welcoming and open place. I remember going there and learning about a god that was all inclusive, and hearing the message of Jesus as a message of tolerance and love. Rick Warren was very close to my family, my father was his head usher before tak… Continue
I haven't typed out a BLOG in a while and to make up for it, I found something really funny. I was searching videos as a usually do but what was different from back then was that I was on break and finals were done. I've found a video that made my break worth while and well, it's considered to be an error for Fox News:

"Just yesterday the web surged with news that 30 GB Zunes were freezing up, apparently the victim of a Y2K-type clock bug where the Zunes rebooted and froze as of January 1, 2009 Pacific Time. And this morning, Ars Technica reports that rumors are flying about a massive layoff on January 15 involving 17 percent of the worldwide work force. Not exactly the stuff that dreams are made of."

Hi everyone, remember me? No? Well I wouldn't be surprised. I kinda disappeared for a while since the month of September. School became very hectic along with other activities I involved myself in. But now, I am back (hopefully) for the new year as it is part of my only resolution which I'll post about later. Gotta finish some work first. Nice to see the community thriving. Okay, later!

For the crash of '83 to repeat itself???????
Once upon a time, there was a game called Sim City. It had no story, no score, no rewards, and no win conditions. Game publishers were so uncertain how it would be received that its creator struggled to bring it to market for four years. When it was finally released in 1989, it was often described in interviews as a "software toy." In other words, it was so casual that the people behind it actually hesitated to call it a game.
Yet Sim City not only… Continue

I needed a change from who i am seeing I've been this person for a whole year, but its not in the context you would think of. Im not going to strip my identity bare o… Continue
