UWDB!

Fun day yesterday. First going to play pool with Xin at UWP.Then playing table tennis with Jeffrey and Xin at V1Alright, we all know Xin always talks about his Dragonboat team and I have to say, they are pretty cool (Many of them also love the Beatles). Partying with them was crazy to say the least. George, the 7 foot tall guy is so jokes, rapping to random songs. They kept trying to convert me to be a Dragonboat member but I'm not sure if they know I'm not even from Waterloo!I got pretty messed up too. You know what I found out? When I drink I think I'm able to dance to 'Wedding Dress'. Which I can not.... But enough about what happened to me, Xin was gone last night! First one out, which I know sounds bad but he took alot before he blacked out (puking everywhere in George's room, including his computer!). Calvin passed out a bit after Xin but at least he wasn't puking everywhere. Thank you Siva for coming to Loo for the party even if you're in co-op. You didn't pass out and partied all night with me!

I remember we wanted to play a new game no one has ever played before so a guy grabbed a bunch of poker chips and a LCBO bag and yes, we invited a new drinking game. Maybe not new, I'm sure other people have done it before, but wow, being able to make up random crap when you are drunk is shocking.

Drunk Xin + Jenga = Funniest thing ever

So Xin had a bit too much to drink. What killed him was 'fuck the dealer'. With a name like fuck the dealer I have no idea why Xin volunteered to be the dealer, but hey, I'm glad he had fun.

Siva and a woken up Xin finding the four empty 1.75L of vodka!
How did we do it!

So I'm not sure when the party ended but basically everyone left at once but me and Siva had to stay behind and wait for Xin and Calvin to wake up. I remember George telling us "don't take the beers in the fridge, those are my roommate's." I'm sorry George, we drank them...
Hey hey hey, but we are nice guys, after we drank a few Heinekens we put them back in hopes they wouldn't notice we took anything.

Why is there 1 left not open!

Overall it was an exciting night. I remember waking up Calvin so we could get out of the place before George woke up. When Calvin asked why we responded because Xin barfed all over his room and we didn't want a 7footer killing us! The walk back home is always fun, especially with Calvin running like a crab because he was still pretty drunk.

Busted with clickers!

I was in EC140 and some girl had 2 clickers (one was her friends who skipped). And for anyone not familiar with iclickers, some professors use them as the participation marks and when some students skip they give their iclickers to a buddy to answer for them. They say doing that is just as bad as cheating on a test so I guess they take it pretty seriously. So this girl had 2 of them and the prof caught her and took them away, I felt so bad for her. Let me state this right now, if the prof ever catches me with 2 clickers, I'm going to simply run out the door because what can they do? Are they really going to chase me just to collect the clickers? Probably not haha.

Shout out to my business new venture team for getting the top mark in the class once again. Brap Brap, we're going all the way to finals!

Another good note is I finally got my laptop back! So excited about that! Finally, no more trying to understand Chinese instructions (other laptop was mostly in Chinese -__-) and I finally get my music back.

The Revolutionary 'iPad'

The long awaited new apple device is finally here! When Steve Jobs unveiled the 9.7-inch touchscreen tablet, which looks like a large iPhone, Apple quickly took a hit in the stock market but surprisingly it jumped back up once it was announced the price will start at $499 (16GB version). The iPad is supposed to be a "third category" of devices, a do-everything media gadget that can surf the Web, and play movies and video games. Sort of a hybrid of both the iPhone and a laptop.Fun Facts
The icons are like those on the iPhone, complete with a tray at the bottom, and the iPad runs on the iPhone's operating system. Jobs spent some time showing off some of the iPad's features, including e-mail and web browsing. It will ship with iTunes installed. It's powered by a 1GHz Apple A4 chip, and has 16GB to 64GB of flash storage. It has 10 hours of battery life and over a month of standby power. As said earlier the iPad will start at $499 U.S. for the 16GB version, while a 32GB model will cost $599 and a 64 GB model will cost $799. Versions of the iPad with built in 3G connectivity will cost an extra $130, ranging in price from $629 to $829. Because over 75 million iPhones and iPod touches are around the world, Apple expects a large amount of Apple users to already know how to operate the iPad. Jobs said the iPad will sync with a computer over a USB connection just like an iPod or iPhone.

*Not actually how it looks*

So will the iPad last?
Its hard to tell until I've tried it personally but you have to look at the market they are going for. A device thats the combination of the iPhone and laptop is great but you have to understand maybe people who already have laptops also have some sort of smart phone (whether iPhone or not). Will these people be willing to spend $500 for just a combination of the 2? The idea might be worth more than the actual product because consumers have never warmed to tablet computers, despite many previous attempts by other companies. But I was impressed with the technology that Apple showed off. The iPad has a near life-size touch keyboard, and comes with all the expected features, including a calendar, an address book and maps. We will have to see if Apple can start another trend

Apple has proved they are the head of the pack. The iPod revolutionized mp3s and the iPhone pushed cellphones above and beyond their limits, maybe the iPad will now revolutionize tablets.

Let the jokes begin

Apple isn't making it any easier on themselves by calling the tablet an 'iPad'. I'm not even going to say why because the topic itself is too distrubing to me. I sure hope Steve Jobs come up with a new name for it and I hope he does it soon.

'Men of a Certain Age'

Ray Romano has a new show called 'Men of a Certain Age' and even though only 7 episodes are out, I can tell its a show I will enjoy watching. Okay fine, its not as great as "Everybody Loves Raymond' but the show hits a different degree of audience. It seems Romano is aiming towards men age 30-65.The show will be a success because the jokes are relative to the real world. In 'Everyone loves Ray' the fights between Debra and Ray were actual arguements you can imagine in a married household and the jokes in 'Men of a Certain Age' are jokes you can see men joking about. I seem to enjoy the 40 minute shows more than the half and hour shows because it gives more plot.

And yes, Ray (or his name is Joe in the show) makes fun of his large nose in this show too which I found amusing.Overall I give this show 4/5 and recommended.

Douchebag of the day

Hey, its been a while since I've named my douchebag of the day and I wanted to make sure the next one I chose is a real dick. Its actually a group of people.

Today's DB of the day goes to the Vancouver police department.

And they say the Chinese are blind.....
