Recently two of my friends have got me into boxing. I usually would not be into such a sport because I don’t like violence, however this is organized violence. It definitely trumps UFC any day. Anyways I have become a Pacquiao fan not only because I feel that he is the best (along with everyone), but I have a connection with Filipino people. The working class back home is mostly Filipino and Indian, and I have grown to really appreciate what they do. To top it all off Manny Pacquiao is very humble even though he is making millions now. He is said to be the next president of the Philippines, and is the most famous Filipino in the world. If you watch the 60 Minutes episode that features Barack Obama and Manny you can learn that when Manny is fighting everyone in the Philippines is watching even police and criminals as they take the day off too!

I won’t post any spoilers on here, and I would just like to say that there not many people that have become so loved by their respective country as Manny has, which is truly amazing.

Happy Pills

While buying some BCAAs for my friend today I saw these Happy Pills. It says that it is a non prescription feel good formula, which means it’s just herbs and over the counter ingredients. The name made me laugh and the packaging just added to it. To the left there were some happy dreams pills, which help you sleep easier. I picked one of those up as I have sleeping problems. I will report back on how effective it is.

iTunes 10.1 released

iTunes 10.1 Software Update

Hot on the heels of 10.6.5 iTunes 10.1 has been released today. It was rumored on the interwebs that this update along with the iOS 4.2 (which has not been released yet) would hit the web shortly after  10.6.5. Soon all iPad owners will be rejoice as they can then multitask!

As described in the picture above, this update to iTunes lets you stream video using Airplay on the new (black) Apple TV, sync with iOS devices running 4.2, and bug fixes. I predict 4.2 will be released this weekend or on Monday maximum since it has already been in Golden Master for a while now.

Mac OS X 10.6.5 hits the pipes

10.6.5 Softeare Update

As usual thanks to Engadget for tipping me off. Today Apple released 10.6.5 on Software Update. No link to the Delta or Combo update dmgs yet, once I have found them I shall link to them. For those who don’t know what Delta and Combo mean, Delta means you must have 10.6.4 to install the update and comes in at a significant less file size than the Combo update. The Combo update on the other hand allows you to install it on any version of 10.6, so basically 10.6-10.6.4 or in computer geek terms 10.6.x. Anyways fire up software update from the top left of your Mac on the Apple menu. The bugfixes can be seen in the image above, Enjoy!

Update: Here is the link to the Combo DMG file. Delta update can be found here.

Skype 5 Beta hits OS X

by

Skype Icon High Resolution

When Skype 5 Beta hit Windows, I was really upset that it didn’t hit OS X. The reason for that was the video conferencing, which is a really cool feature. Today thanks to my friend Michael, I learned that it has finally made its way over to my favorite Operating System. The startup screen and the main application window look much better! Finally Skype users on Mac OS X can rejoice as Skype has a long history of taking its sweet time with Mac OS X and Linux releases. Anyways you can download the beta here!

Google Adsense V3

Google has just updated the Adsense with a new beta (version 3). From first looks it is just a cleaner interface and a lot of the data that took up different tabs are now displayed in one area. I haven’t had time to check out all the other features listed here.

Photo of the day – Lunchbox Lasagna

by

Lunchbox Lasagna

Today my photo is mouth watering! Lunchbox is a new (since last semester I believe) quick serve restaurant that has really great healthy food at a reasonable price. They have a really great marinated chicken pita sandwich in which the chicken has a purplish tint. Today however I got their Lasagna! You get to pick between normal pasta or spinach pasta (you can see in the picture I don’t like normal), the filling, and the sauce. I also added marinated Artichokes as an extra because I really love Artichoke! It is quickly prepared and cooked thanks to the TurboChef ovens. Take a look at the picture, it almost looks like a meal at an upscale restaurant.

Photo of the day – Dusk in Montreal

by

Montreal Dusk Nov 1, 2010Today was one of the craziest sunsets I have seen in person. From a little before Dusk the sky looked really weird, it had a golden tint to it. However I didn’t think it was photo worthy, I knew this shot would never be featured on a stock photos website. However when I saw the Sun setting I had to snap a picture and revive my Photo of the day Segment. Let me tell you the picture does not do the sunset justice, even though it is a nice picture, the sunset was really beautiful! It really inspires me to fire up my camera again, I wish I had it to photograph this picture (shot on my iPhone 4).
