It took Akira Haraguchi 16 hours to recite π to 100,000 digits from memory earlier this month. This would supercede fellow Japanese Hiroyuki Goto’s official Guinness Book of Record of 42,195 digits set in 1995. Mr. Haraguchi is not a novice at this. His current feat also bypasses his own personal record of 83,431 set [...]
Kim Jong Il better be careful. He is walking a very thin line in making threats. Some people say that he is trying to show the world that North Korea is like the bigger nations—a nuclear power. Giving a false sense of self-reliance and patriotic honor to the North Koreans who have been depending on [...]

I really like the K2 theme, but it combined with the current Script.aculo.us is a little too much heavy “bling-bling” for my website. I first wanted to steer clear from K2 due to its bulky package, but settled for it in the end for the reboot of my site. I’ve noticed a severe slowdown and [...]
Looking at the results of both the percentages at the beginning, the bar graphs at the bottom and comparing my results with other test-takers, there apparently must not be a lot of people in my specific age and gender group who took the test. Although I don’t like the idea of the fact that the [...]
Guess who’s in the java business now. Yep, Jackie Chan! Looks like his coffee kiosks are slated for distribution in parts of Asia only—for now. Boo Hiss—I’m all the way in Pittsburgh. Hopefully there will be a way to buy it here either online or in a store somewhere sometime in the future. A major [...]
