In continuity of the March Muchly Miscellaneous Materials series (a series of random miscellany in my life posted starting from Miscellaneous to Miscellaneous Stupidity to Miscellaneous Much?), today I shall post a list of miscellaneous blog titles that I would post, if I had the time, or the capacity to blog. So, in today’s post, it’ll be a series of mini blogs in one post

Here goes the list:

• Like Father Like Son
  Concerns my younger cousin who was staying at my house for the past few days for the school holidays. His father, when he was younger, had cut off a cat’s whiskers. My cousin had to stupidly follow his father, and cut off some of Tigara’s whiskers. Grr
• Why the World Needs Superman
  Because I’ve decided to be Lois Lane and write that article. Basically, what I had in mind was something along the lines of superheroes, both in comic books, in real life, and their spiritual equivalents.
• O Great TV!
  The great idiot box hath granted me unholy knowledge. Like Discovery Channel using the opening introduction of Numb3rs (”We all use math everyday, to predict weather, to tell time, to handle money… using numbers we can solve the biggest mysteries we know”) in their advertisement for their new Million 2 One program (which happens to be a show that I watch); or like Andy and Laura’s advertisement for AXN’s showing of CSI season 7 appears on every other channel except AXN; or finding out from Elizabeth Tai’s article in theStar that Adele Lim is Malaysian, so watch it when you watch Las Vegas or One Tree Hill.
• Happy Birthday Monty Hall
  This post would have nothing to do with anyone’s birthday, but with my little fanatic obsession over the Birthday Paradox, since I believe no one in my old school class, 5 Kempas ever had the same birthday. And it was a class bigger than 23 people, and having 89.1% chance that 2 people has the same birthday. Just for fun, but it seems to me that I’ll be devoting some time to this mathematical nonsense (I’m not too good in Math, I must agree). And the Monty Hall Problem (which I didn’t know there was a name to it until cfgt told me about the name) as well. Fun stuff. And no, I haven’t been watching repeat of Numb3rs on TV (But there was an episode where Charlie explained this theory to his class in an extremely simplified manner).
• When Nerds Talk
  

  Julian Sark says:
  I’m in love with Elanor. Tell me more about her
  Chewxy says:
  She works at [censored], and drives a [censored], earns more than you in a year…
  Julian Sark says:
  How did you know all this?
  Chewxy says:
  My Chewxy-sense is tingling again. Hmm…

  Julian Sark is not the guy from Alias. This Julian Sark is none other than zcer himself. Of course, the above conversation has been dramatised by me a hundred times over to create controversy and gossip so that Antworten zum Universum can continue to sell itself.

• Connect the Dots
  This initially was a global conspiracy theory, where I attempt to connect the dots. Everything from the Altantuya Shaaribu case to WiMAX. Everything is connected, somehow. This post of mine was inspired by Ktemoc’s article Primary Target - Najib Razak.
• Connect the Wireless Dots
  This is yet another connect-the-dot game to see who is interested. It sparked off when I read a rumour that Khairy Jamaluddin had a stake in Asiaspace.com, one of the few companies which was awarded the WiMAX licence. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a fact that I could verify. Then also, there was the fact the the 2.5Ghz band spectrum can be converted for WiMAX usage, effectively meaning this:
  • Maxis - 2.5GHz WiMAX
  • Maxis - 2100 MHZ 3G
  • TM - 2.5GHz WiMAX
  • TM - 2100 MHz 3G
  • REDtone-CNX - 2.5GHz WiMAX
  • REDtone-CNX - 2.3 GHz WiMAX
  • Nasioncom - possible 3.5 GHz WiMAX
  • TT dotCom - 2100 MHz 3G
  • MiTV/Mi3G - 2100 MHz 3G
  • DiGi - BIG FAT ZERO

  There you go. There is hardly any future market potential for DiGi. But according to theEdge Daily,

  As for DiGi, an industry player said the company could obtain the 2.5GHz spectrum for WiMAX if it fails to secure the 2.3GHz licence.

• Tutorial
  Concerns me teaching people stuff… for free, and my experiences in tutoring 2 persons on a same subject. One of the persons I taught was Princess Xingyi. She was by far more enriching in tutoring experience than the other girl (who doesn’t read this blog anyways). It was rewarding, teaching both people statistics (one down part is that I have to drink tea-flavored condensed milk). But I don’t think I taught Princess Xy enough. She was receptive, but I think I didn’t teach her enough. I shall hence endeavor to teach her more theory, less crap. Well, she’s coming over this afternoon again to learn stats
• Marathon Edits
  Concerns me staying up for about 48 hours, and more than 8 hours of video editing. I was helping out Abel with his edits for his movie. All I can say is that Abel is able (hahaha! geddit? Abel is able - geddit? geddit?) to withstand being up for almost 48 hours, and spending time helping out in his edits has been fun. It was more fun considering that I stayed up through the whole of Sunday night, and my Monday classes start at 8. Still, it was worth it, since I think he did a good job shooting the video and editing it. (And Hashie was scary). Well, Abel did most of the edits. I just sat in front of my PC to watch Mel Brooks’ History of the World Part I.
• Sick
  Yep. I’m sick again. This time it’s fevers and joint pains. By 11 p.m. last night, I was already feeling the effects of the fevers and joint-aches. My ear seems to be extra sensitive as well now. Loud sounds seem to hurt my ears. I’m going to bed again.
• Malaysian Shorts, March 2007
  Concerning my going to Malaysian Shorts in HELP last night. A few movies were good. I liked Idiot Nation a lot. It was like watching a movie by Terry Pratchett. Sitting right behind me was the girl who played Hottie Hilton Harriet. Other nice shows that I enjoyed was Vroom-Vroom and Boot-Boot. It was a silent movie, reminiscent of that in the early days of cinema. Westbound and Kongsi Dalam Gelap was also good. The latter had a lot of interesting subtext, which you’d only understand if you read the papers.
