Wonderful Imperfection

Eric Mesa | September 30, 2006

Sometime the best things are imperfect. For example, there’s something I just love about this photo even though I wasn’t able to capture his whole face since I was zoomed at 200mm and he was moving very fast. Yet I got it in focus and it is such a beautiful black and white [...]

Introducing my SECOND CGI program: Eric’s BlogRoll

Eric Mesa | September 30, 2006

You can find it here or on the right-hand side under “My pages”. This is a program that’s been in my head for about four days and which I spent most of yesterday working on until I realized I was going down the wrong path. Ah, but I’m getting ahead of myself. [...]

I’ll get you someday!

Eric Mesa | September 29, 2006

This darned pigeon and his brethren in the parking garage at work have put more bird feces on my car in one day than I have had on the car in its entire 11 year lifetime. “Of course you know, this means war!”

Ulteo – Yet Another Linux Distro?

Eric Mesa | September 29, 2006

So why do we need YALD? Well this isn’t just any new Linux distro! This Linux distro is created by Gael Duval, the recently-booted creator of Mandrake Linux. Mandrake Linux was in the position Ubuntu now is – the easy distro to introduce new people to Linux with. It had the [...]

How My Parents are Saving the World

Eric Mesa | September 23, 2006

I really respect and admire my parents for what they are doing now. At a time when they should be relaxing after 24 years of parenting, they have taken on 3 foster kids – 2 of them at the last minute last week. It’s not as though my parents are trying to replace [...]

The Pope is Wrong

Eric Mesa | September 19, 2006

I can just see it in some extremist planning area:
Extremist 1: Hey, the Pope said we were a violent people!
Extremist 2: What a jerk! What should we do in protest?
Extremist 1: Let’s bomb churches and kill a nun!
Extremist 2: Excellent, that will clearly prove him wrong!
See the irony? [...]

Thank You God

Eric Mesa | September 19, 2006

That my father-in-law was able to get a kidney from his sister and the surgery went well. He is now recovering, but will no longer need dialysis every other day! I kept myself busy/sane in the hospital by reading my Salvador Dali book and taking pictures. Here are some of the pictures [...]

Why No Apologies for the Asians?

Eric Mesa | September 18, 2006

I am against censorship. The recent news that Tom and Jerry will be edited in Europe to remove smoking scenes is absurd! So it’s not ok for Tom to smoke, but it’s ok for Jerry to electrocute him, chop him up, and all the other behaviours kids may imitate from watching cartoons. [...]

Worst Simpsons Episode…EVER

Eric Mesa | September 17, 2006

BEGIN SPOILER
I don’t usually blog about TV shows, but this Simpsons episode was so bad, there wasn’t even a point in the writers even trying. They should have just taken a week off and worked on a better show. The show started off on a funny note, although we’ve seen it before [...]

today

Eric Mesa | September 11, 2006

“…and it’s September Eleven.”
Those were the first words to pop into my consciousness this morning. It’s been a week worth of tributes, speeches, and remembrances. Today’s main thought for me involved pondering if anyone from NYC actually watched any of the 11 Sept movies this year. Personally, I think it’s way too [...]
