The Chosen One
After tonight, beating the Celtic’s Big Three, LeBron James’ nickname will be The One. As he has in the past few games, he has carried his team almost entire by himself, against the Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.
The moniker the Chosen One first appeared on yahoo sports yesterday. But he can appropriately be […]King James
Even when LeBron James carried the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals last year, I was still reluctant to say he’d be the greatest NBA player when he retires. Like most skeptics, I thought it was a fluke. That they were in a weak conference. That a rookie - ‘boobie’ got hot at the right time. […]
Celtics Big Three
The Boston Celtic’s three headed monster of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are dominating the NBA.
Everyone knew the Celts could score, even fearing if there’d be enough balls to go around. They’re scoring an average points of 104. The three are averaging at least 20 points per game. But what most […]My 2nd Fantasy Basketball Trade of the Year

He’s insisting that he’s not even contemplating a return. But returning to […]Spying in Formula One
In Sun Tzu’s Art of War, knowing the enemy could be the difference between victory and defeat. The super power countries in the world spy on each other to gain advantage or even if only to maintain their status. In the business world, big corporations espionage is common. In boxing, Manny Pacquiao was wary that […]
Zend View Helper - Segmented Blocks
There have been complaints about Zend Framework’s limited layout capabilities. Infact, as of 1.0.2 ZF has no high level layout system. There are currently a couple of proposals on how to implement complex views and layouts. But the Framework itself already has some mechanism to implement simple layouts. I looked into response segments to implement […]

This was my post on November 27, 2006 in my old, abandoned blogspot:
Kimi Raikonen Joins Ferrari
I too have left Mclaren to become a Tifosi. I think I should celebrate my defection by buying myself an Ipod Nano Red engraved with Scuderia Ferrari.F1 Driving Style : Button, Alonso, Kimi/Schumi
3 distinct driving style in F1 as explained by Martin Brundel.
Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher both have similar driving techniques - which was probably the reason why Ferrari signed the Iceman.Here’s another clip analyzing Michael Schumacher’s driving style.
Ashlar Project
I uploaded my Ashlar project to my server. Visit the Project Page.
Ashlar is a revival of my old project Lithium Desktop. It is a minimalist theming engine. Like Window Blinds, but only a subset. More like Fluxbox for the linux/freebsd os.
I decide to dig up my old project after having been frustrated at Vista’s slow […]
