Editors vs. IDEs
▁ mar 30 2008

Do you have a car? If so, then you know how convenient it is vs. not having a car. I had a car once - it was wonderful. It wasn’t very big, but it got me around, and going places was so much more convenient.

Now I live without a car, and it’s not a big deal. Whenever I have to go places and bring more than I can comfortably carry, I remember back to how it was when I had a car. Sometimes I play around with the idea of getting a new car, until I remember how expensive it is, and how I almost wouldn’t use it at all.

Pirates vs. Ninjas - The Origin
▁ mar 17 2008

Long time, no blog post. I’ve been extremely busy lately…

So, I’m sitting here at home, relaxing and watching Shogun when it dawns on me. This must be the origin of pirates vs. ninjas! This 1980s classic, features Richard Chamberlain as a shipwrecked pirate in feudal Japan, where he struggles to survive and understand the Japanese culture. He even has to fight off a ninja, who is sent to assassinate him.

Shogun also features Toshiro Mifune, who had a lengthy partnership with famed director Akira Kurosawa, starring in such movies as Seven Samurai, Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress and Yojimbo, among others. Having seen several movies he’s in, I’m kind of embarassed I didn’t recognize him, but I guess that’s just a testament to his acting skills.

Thanks to Jesper for pointing me to Shogun, it’s awesome.
