On Jokes and Hobbies

Two cool things that I stumbled upon during the weekend.

One
I was watching Conan the other night and he featured a comedian at the end of the show. His name is Pete Holmes and he is one hell of a funny dude. He mostly talks about his personal experiences, and generally steers away from the common racist and dirty humor. What I like about him is the intonation of his voice during his delivery. It changes so drastically during punch lines that the change in itself makes that act work. Big time!

One of his acts that I like is about the common jokes that he thinks people should stop making. It is called Really? The last part, I'm sure, will hit a lot of the people I know, myself included :D

Two
I want to retire early. So I've been reading and, fortunately, getting great insights from the internets. One of my favorite sites to read is a blog by a dude named Jacob Fisker. Guess what, it is about retiring early. It makes a lot of sense. Why? Simple. What he is doing, if I understood correctly :D, is living a frugal lifestyle, investing earnings for the retirement, and, last but not the least, maintaining a vegetable garden XD

Anyway, there is a post regarding hobbies that I personally got hit with. It is Find A Free Hobby. Since I am basically living the life that he described when he was in my current years. The gist about expensive hobbies is that "In the end we all have the same to show for it: Nothing". It does make sense to avoid them.

Everything used to work.
The application got broken when it was deployed to a different web server.


I cleared the cache.

It worked.

Apparently, the encoding of my previous web server was different from the encoding set on my new server so some of the javascript code broke. The code with a different encoding was still on the cache.

Dragon Age 2

Fast paced. Hooking. Awesome.

Play it on Nightmare.

The Ancient Rock Wraith is imba. -- Apparently, I just didn't do it right the first time. Hacking and slashing is ineffective for this guy. The tactic that worked for me was ranged attacks :D

This game forces the player to visit several areas of the game, over and over and over (around 3 times :D). Every visit (per 2 years, or so, in the game time) to an area respawns different creatures and items across the same map. Like a refresh of everything but in the same map. Also, it may be to make up for the fact that a lot of the areas in the game are reused and just called differently within the game itself.

The first play-through.

Nakakain na rin ako ng legendary na sinigang na corned beef. Ang sarap nung karne! Medyo sumobra nga lang sa alat :D Nasobrahan sa patis yung timpla nung sabaw.

Umuwi kasi si Gerry kasama yung pamilya niya. Nagyaya sila maghapunan, kaya ayun.
