If airlines were tech companies..

American - Qualcomm -> Made all the technology but now behind Delta - Samsung -> Efficient and clean execution United - Dell -> Really really bad execution, but once in a while there is a good deal.. Southwest - Apple -> Not exactly, but its kinda expensive without people realizing ;)

BONUS:

Air India - Comcast -> Lets not even go there..

To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.

Trying Vegetarian for 2 weeks

Hello Folks, Starting today, I'm gonna switch to just eating vegetarian food (no meat, milk products including eggs are ok). I'm going to post pics of what I eat everyday and post 2 pics everyday (lunch and dinner) with hashtag #2weekVegDiet. My aim is to try different veg food every time, so I can dispel the notion that veg food is limited.

Just started doing data science stuff. Take a look. Top cars towed in chicago. I know piechart is dumb for making those kind of comparisons, might change to something else in future :)

HBO Go Rant

Thank you HBO for making HBO Go website in ADOBE FLASH, of all the defunct technologies in the world. You just ran with the artsy concept, didn't you. I really enjoyed my PAID SUBSCRIPTION benefit of viewing the new season of Game Of Thrones, in the same manner I enjoy flipping through a graphics laden PowerPoint presentation on Windows Vista, emulated on a Raspberry Pi. And thanks for throwing debug error messages at me, while I tried to load the page, in spectacular hope that I might fix those issues, which your geniuses at HBO Go couldn’t. Please learn from YouTube and Netflix about how to show the video after playing your stupid irrelevant ads, instead of showing that retarded loading wheel. I suggest start by coding a new website on Frontpage 2007 and then adding some jquery, so you can have your stupid transitions and effects. Now I know why GOT is the most pirated TV show. How about making a website that actually streams videos?

Raspberry Pi Handheld Arcade Gaming System Thingy

Just got the raspberry pi with cover included. Now I want to create something like a handheld arcade gaming machine with it. Lets see. I'll post pictures with updates.

Update 1: Using these components:

PiMAME

Using my old Nexus S phone as screen via VNC

My old PS3 controller as controller

Speakers?

External battery pack that works

Update 2: PiMame is working and I downloaded a couple of ROMs on it. They work perfectly. Got sound to work via headphone jack. Got VNC to work on my phone, but its slow as hell, because it uses startx instead of the piMAME shell. Pics soon!

Update 3: Here are some pics!

Raspberry Pi connected.

PiMame Running!

Closup shows RCA connection for video

How it looks on a 3.5 screen. Metal Slug 4 through PiFBA

Using plastic container as enclosure. Next step, arcade controls!
