The whole GNU project is really one big hack, its one big act of subversive playful cleverness to change society for the better, because I am only interested in changing society for the better, but in a clever way.

Movies (For Programmers) I Will Watch This Year

After watching Pirates of Silicon Valley for the nth time, I have decided to make a list of the top movies I will watch this year that have something to do with computers, programming, and hacking. Of course, I won’t be listing down the ‘technical’ videos/clips your normally see everyday, but I am talking about movies that are stimulating to watch, especially for those with programming oriented mind like me (or not).

I hope I can watch all of them once in a while.

  • Pirates of Silicon Valley
  • The Social Network
  • Revolution OS
  • The First $20 Million is Always the Hardest
  • WarGames
  • We Live in Public
  • The IT Crowd
  • Office Space
  • The Net
  • 23
  • Takedown
  • Antitrust
  • Swordfish
  • Sneakers

and others soon to follow.

Any movie suggestions in mind?

Another draft of my prototype’s keyboard interface for the Directories Plus system. I am using some gradients / metallic effect to complement the client’s company color.

Just wanted to share a 9gag-inspired photo made by my student from Web Development 2 (WB-DEV2) class.  And yes, I finally confirmed that I don’t have classes tomorrow. (Hurray for make-up class/es!)

Here’s a screen shot of my recent Klout score. I was able to get as high as 59.15 last 5 days ago, and I’m now approaching the 60-mark. But the question is, is Klout scores / social scoring really that important?
