Adrenalin… True Clarity of Mind.

Posted on May 13, 2009 by Percy Kwong

We all decompress in different ways.  Some jog, others cook, there’s the veritable “walker”.  Me?  Well.. I like to do things that may seem unnatural.  I’m an adrenalin junkie.  I don’t do it so much for the “thrill” of doing it, but for the one moment of clarity I get during the act of whatever…

Brilliant Minds at Work

Posted on April 28, 2009 by Percy Kwong

Warning: The following post is a complete rant.  I’ll probably piss off quite a few people, but seriously.. The level of stupidity involved in this little exercise rivals even that of the TSA. It just fucking amazes me how someone at the White House thought it would be a good idea to fly Airforce One…

The Day The World Blew Up..

Posted on October 24, 2008 by Percy Kwong

Financial Crisis seems to be gripping the world.  People are losing their jobs, homes, savings… Spending is at an all time low.  We have no leadership out of this mess.  Sounds like a great drama, huh?  Unfortunately, it’s not something we’re going to see on a Soap Opera, but on all the news rags, websites,…

Another Lesson Learned

Posted on October 23, 2008 by Percy Kwong

While it seems like a good idea to go work in a tropical paradise, I learned one thing.. Never work where you play.  If things go wrong, you’ll just always associate it with the bad memories.

Fixing Your Music / MP3 Collection

Posted on September 2, 2008 by Percy Kwong

I was decided I needed to focus on a menial job today so I could release some stress and decided I would work on my MP3 Collection.  Labeling stuff correctly, etc. I really have to say Midomi and Fixtunes are a lifesaver.

Apple Store Stupidity

Posted on July 12, 2008 by Percy Kwong

OK.  So I went to the Apple Store today to buy a Powerbook.  Of course, Murphy’s Law would have it that it would be the day after the iPhone 3G launch.  I go to the one in New Jersey by Rt. 17 and Rt. 4 and park my car.  As my fiancee and I walk…

Overly Neurotic and Bored People…

Posted on April 20, 2008 by Percy Kwong

I recently decided to post a few items on craigslist for free. I was getting rid of a few items and decided if someone needed those items, they could have them if they wanted to pick them up. Keep in mind I’ve had some horrible experiences with Craigslist people in the past and I could…

The Craigslist Client.

Posted on April 11, 2008 by Percy Kwong

OK, After many experiences on Craigslist, I can definitely say that the majority of them are.. well.. **Special**. These people seem to think wasting your time is entertaining. They have no sense of appreciation, nor do they believe in common courtesy. While I can say that there are a few people that aren’t that way,…

Biodiesel

Posted on February 22, 2008 by Percy Kwong

With Gas Prices Reaching $4.00 per gallon, I’m thinking of switching 2/3 cars to Biodiesel.  I figure I could put a biodiesel processor in my shed and basically save myself a whole bunch of cash.  A 100 Gallon processor would be about $1500.00 (alot less if I build it myself).  Cars, they’re cheap enough.. A…
