Boxes and Codes
This has been a busy week for the Wang between moving and a project at the new work palce, the Wang is juggling boxes and code lines. Still the Wang managed to make nightly trips to Fry’s and Ikea to support the US economy by throwing cash at good o’ fashion US products made from China and Sweden.
And what is up with Sarah Michelle Gellar, she has become some sort of horror movie queen, as she is casted to be in the new Alice.
MSNBC gives the best headline to the recent Scarlet Johansson vs. Cruise event: Scarlett Johansson escapes Cruise’s clutches
The LAist points out that for a CalTech class of 2005, the entire Chemical Engineering class are all women. So I guess there are going to be more geeky women in the coming years. The Wang was right to wait for a more suitable and intelligent mate. I mean check out this physic grad, Sandra Tsing Loh’s speech, they are even funny! Dork is geek of the aughts!
ArthorFest sponsored by Arthur magazine and Spaceland will take place Sept 4 and 5 in Barnsdall Art Park near Los Feliz. Its suppose to be an Avant-garde event. Which include local silverlake/Echo Park eateries and indie music acts. Check site for more detail.

Braodcast Flag might come back and hunt us again, keep the fight alive with the 48 hr. to Stop the Broadcast Flag via EFF’s Deeplinks.
So SAG/ATFRA’s has rejected the contracts to give interactive actors/actresses more share of the profit for video games. BoingBoing has more on this with many links to past stories about this event.. Looks like SAG feels that the voice actor/actresses needs to be in on the residual royalties. The Wang do encourage Videogame unions amongst the creators. I think the big gaming companies like the EAmpire slave wage their employees and many of the Wang’s friends that works/ed in the industry seems to be treated like crap. I think that industry expects young kids to bend-over just to get a job for a gaming company, thus they get away with everything. But the Wang doesn’t approve of the whole Movie industry union power that leads too off-shore movie productions, still the good gaming brethrens should not be treated like herd to produce for some 6 billion dollar+ industry at slave wages. Developers always get the short stick. Here’s another LA times link.
The Japanese makes the bestest commercials. Here is one for a game called Ape Escape 3 Where Lanky Japanese man dance to rainbows in a completely non-gay, Tom Cruise kind of way.
And speaking of the Japanese, check out this Urban underground farm thing they have going. Cause if we learned anything from Master of Orion II, it is to start by building a hydroponic farm.
And speaking of Tom, this one goes out to Scientology, Katie Holmes has 16 missing days. I think Tom found her and reprogrammed her in that Goldenfidle, girlfriend unit way. I mean she was about to enjoy NYC, somehow… now she is trapped in Cruise Control.
New voice program from AT&T is pretty cool. Try it have it say weird things like wrap lyrics. The odd thing is I found this from YubNub. YubNub is some sort of ALL encompassing command line site for the web. U can do everything from searching on google, randomly generate numbers, to pulling up DeviantArt images for u.
And incase u missed the AFI top 100 movies quotes, the thighmaster quoted a awhole bunch of them for u. Or u can go to the official site, but Thighmaster is just cooler than AFI.
A cool pic of the Serenity Cast.
So have a good day, the Wang is back to boxes and codes.
