Renault has always been slightly weird, in a good way. They've ventured into niches no one has ever thought of, made cars that seemed crazy, and has a typical heart over head attitude towards making cars. Their hot hatchbacks have redefined the very meaning of the hot hatchbacks, and their Formula 1 campaign has been very successful. In short, they're having a good...Read More
I built a Lego Mindstorms rover/car as a test base for different programs and test manoeuvres. I took inspiration from another build, called NXT-GT. As I did not have a lot of parts, I had make a lot of modifications. It is possibly the best car shaped design, and is a perfect test mule for any program or hardware testing. I experimented with...Read More
The Bahrain race was a good one. Lots of overtakes, and certainly a lot of position changes. The pole-sitter, Nico Rosberg fell to 9th place by the end of the race due to excessive tyre wear, and Romain Grosjean ended up 3rd after starting from 11th on the grid. Kimi Raikkonen, who started in 8th place finished 2nd, 9 seconds adrift of race...Read More

Every year a new game would be launched with better, more realistic graphics, and everyone knew that there had to be a point where the hardware simply wouldn't be able to cope up. There are computers which can beautifully run those heavy processor intensive games,...Read More

More accurately, it was the choice of tyre compounds that made the difference. Pirelli bought the Soft and the Medium compound tyre to China. Quickly it became clear that the...Read More

Now the only way to play Pokemon on a Mac is with GameBoy emulators. VisualBoy is a very good option, with the ability to fast forward time and use various cheats. But it is slightly...Read More
There are quite a few articles on the internet, and in print giving reasons for Apple's meteoric rise to success. Those articles are very long, and the writers of those articles use big words because they think it makes them look sophisticated and highbrow. It gives me a headache, and big words only makes it seem as if you're trying too hard. Put...Read More
AutoShot. I couldn't resist naming an elementary AppleScript script. It was too good a name to pass up. Autoshot automatically takes screenshots of your Mac while you play your game, or work on your project, so you can document your work or play, without having to press the combination of keys to take a screenshot. There are full fledged apps out there that...Read More
I've finally made the Flipp extension for Safari! It took a bit of work, but I finally converted it. HTML for Youtube needs to be enabled to make it work. Although it does have many uses, it can primarily used for learning complex dance moves from youtube, or simply watching Youtube videos in a different way.
