No-shave November!
So, apparently November is no-shave November... http://www.no-shavenovember.com/ and I'm partially doing it.
Also since it has been a month roughly since my last post, quick recap:
- Went go karting for the first time with co-workers, and earned a reputation at the office... I am to be feared and to be stayed cleared off... Mwahahahahahahaha!
- IEEE Xtreme 7.0 occurred on October 25-26, 24hr worldwide programming competition... my team was 453rd out of 2500 teams!
- ACM ICPC occurred on November 9th... that was a horrible mess (sigh)... Their (ACM's) new program for code submission, scoreboard, etc, was hogging up the memory on our machine... We had 1GB RAM... and it was eating up 1GB! leaving a measly 10MB for rest of the processes like writing codes... compiling them... testing them... :\ we ended up being 42nd out of 90 teams :\
- Its is a BF/Thanksgiving nightmare at SD, optimizing codes, posting deals, etc....
- Got ticket to watch Doctor Who in theater! Watched Ender's Game and Thor II in theater - great movies, good graphics, and fun stories :)
Trailer for upcoming Day of the Doctor special - Doctor Who's 50th anniversary episode:
Be back once December rolls in...

Link/Video-splosion!!!
Newton's 3rd law has been pwned? Apparently by using photons (wavy massless particles) to create an effective mass along with an object of negative mass, German scientists cheated Newton's 3rd law which states - For Every Action There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction. With this technique there is no opposite reaction... for more head over to Gizmodo!

Though after watching the quantum computer video... this following video came to mind...
The similarity is coincidence??? Also 42 in Japanese is pronounced "shini" and means "death", so in a way the intelligence answered the question (what is the meaning of life?) correctly aside from the fact that it took really long time to do so...

Aki Matsuri
Gather around kids! Today (which means whenever you are reading this post) I will tell you the story of the 4th annual Aki Matsuri, the Japanese autumn festival, in Las Vegas. To begin off the epic story, let me start with THE MOST crucial part, RAMEN!!!
Once the team - An, G and his sister, and I got together on UNLV campus, headed off to Aki Matsuri around 12:15pm and were stamped for processing upon arriving there, D from SD arrived later on, also met couple of friends from university there as well. Anyways, since we all had skipped from eating anything substantial or nothing for breakfast, when the clock struck 12:30pm, we were about go into Hunger Cannibal Games mode - to each their own! But we strapped in our wild counterparts and headed over to the line outside Monta for RAMEN , but when we reached the front, they apparently needed tickets for purchase. So we headed over to the ticket line... and saw they only took cash, then we headed went to the ATM to get cash, then went back to the ticket booth to get food and drinks tickets and got RAMEN from Sora (sounded tasty from their description on the paper).
Turns out, it was indeed good! Well I was too hungry to take a picture... so here is a picture taken by G instead. After having eaten, we were ready to roam around as civilized beings... more or less :P . Here are some pictures of the festival - yes it was held outside, in the rear parking lot of Rio casino.
There were bands singing when we got there.
Somehow a Bob Marley stall crept in there....
More pictures of the surrounding...
An decided to grab sweets!
He got Pocky!
And G decided to ruin my childhood by buying a Pikachu mask and wearing it... *Shake my head* Pikachu! THUNDERSHOCK G!!!
Overall it was a fun experience! Thanks and kudos to Steph for getting me and my friends the tickets!
It's Halloween Time!
Disney started off their Halloween celebration... with Mickey & ... (Ghoul) Goofy...
