Could You Live Without Flash?

2nd year, running out of time..

The previous posts is one of the most impressive stories I’ve read from Arthur C. Clarke.
I also fondly remember The Sentinel, Childhood’s end and Glide path. Of course, 2001, 2010. So good.
Carl Sagan’s Contact is also one of my favourites. A shame the movie missed one of the most important messages from the book.

The Global Game Jam is starting on Friday, I’m helping organise the event but will also be participating in it. This is threefold, I want to get to know the students I’ll be TA’ing better, have a better idea of game authoring tools and of course, have a great time!

:P I’ll be the game-ish projects’ teaching assistant for the Design Project course this quarter, so I’m getting up to speed with unity, XNA and a couple of other engines (I plan to have a look at irrlicht and Ogre).
I’ve written to a few students to have a better idea of what they’re thinking of doing. I really want to be useful!
Also, I’m doing thesis project...
No time.

So, last night I made fun of how girls were posting their bra colors on Facebook and what not.
I was told today that it was supposed to raise breast cancer awareness?
What the hell? I get how it relates. I mean, bras, boobs, okay. Cancer though?
