- I tried the new Yahoo Mail Beta for a while, but I decided to switch back just now. Short review: it's nice looking, but feels a tad sluggish. Well, sluggish compared to gmail at least. The biggest problem is that scrollbar in the message list. It's like promising that you can scroll through all your messages, but when you try to scroll to a far away part of the list, you just get a lot of "Loading... " text. I doubt that scales very well, especially as you get to the thousands in your number of messages. Google is being

- Usually, whenever a Catholic priest gives a homily during Mass, he stands behind a pulpit and generally act like they're making a speech. At the place where I go to Mass, the priests prefer to stand in front of the altar, closer to the audience, holding a microphone in their hands and pacing around a bit during the homily. I remarked to my brother during the Easter Sunday mass: "I bet priests would make great stand-up comics." His response: "That would make an awesome sitcom." Imagine, if you will, a priest at a small parish, occasionally bored with what is

- There are a handful of issues that would influence the general direction of the human race in years to come. Terrorism, oil scarcity, trade imbalances and worldwide poverty come to mind, and these are the ones most commonly discussed in mainstream media. There is however, another important battle being waged that is far removed from the minds of the everyday person. That battle is Recording Industry vs The People. Some of the posts at the above blog are awesome reads and point to an alarming pattern of abuse of the United States' judicial system by large corporations with armies of

- I wonder if the Catholic Church considers piracy as a sin... at least one that I should be confessing to a priest during er... confession. If so, I suppose I have more than ten years' worth of piracy-related sins to confess. Yeah, I go to confession. Once a year, around the Holy Week period usually. Once a year is the minimum frequency required by the Catholic Church, but I wonder how many observe it? Many parishes in busy Metro Manila hold a "Kumpisalang Bayan" (er... I'd say "Mass Confessional", Mass as in lots of people, would be a reasonable translation)
- One would think it an unfair comparision, seeing as how BG2 is at least 5 years older that Suiko5. But BG2 holds up pretty well, I end having a mental coin toss as to which game I will play at any one time. They both have their merits. Suiko5 Pros: Awesome story, lots of background and character depth. Cons: Extremely narrow gameplay, heavily scripted. Hero looks girly. Status: 12 hours in. Kicked out of home town? Check. Branded a rebel and thrust into leadership of one side of a civil war? Check. True Rune attaching itself to your hero? Check.
- I feel like I should be used to it, but summer seems a lot more intense this year.
