Google, oh how I love thee! This is just simply awesome, and so much more simpler than Microsoft's Sharepoint! Now...all that Google needs to do is to provide a Mac Office version, an Apple Pages version and an OpenOffice plug-in and we're all set! :-)

As much as I love the Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell type games I love "classic" gaming. Some entrepreneurial person decided to make an 8bit style RPG with Online qualities... looks pretty cool!

Τις προάλλες παρατήρησα ότι 8 άτομα σταμάτησαν να δουλεύουν στο πανεπιστήμιο μου όταν κοίταζα τον λογαριασμό μου στο LinkedIn. Όχι ότι μπορώ να παρατηρήσω πως μερικά άτομα λείπουν από μια τεράστια λίστα εργαζομένων, το LinkedIn

The other day I made an observation on LinkedIn that 8 people had recently left the employment of UMass (LinkedIn told me so).  The number seemed rather high, so I wanted, out of curiosity, to know who had left, was it someone I knew?  It turns out that most of the people who "left" were teaching assistants, graduate assistants, or like me had added "student" to their profile under job. 

A pretty funny mock-trailer for a British Movie. Someone once said that Americans and the Brits were separated by a common language - it just goes to show you that language isn't the end-all-be-all of national identity :-)

A few years back I had hypothesized that Nokia would roll all of its intellectual property and know-how into creating one kick-ass next-gen version  of its Symbian OS, making Symbian not only competitive, but also able to support from the lowest of the low end phones to the highest end smartphones.  Last week we found out otherwise.  Nokia and Microsoft entered an agreement in which

Πριν περίπου ένα μήνα αποφοίτησα από το πρόγραμμα εφαρμοσμένης γλωσσολογίας, παίρνοντας άριστο βαθμό στις εξαγωγικές εξετάσεις.  Πραγματικά δεν το περίμενα να πάρω τόσο υψηλό βαθμό.  Μερικοί συμφοιτητές άρχισαν να

This past weekend I ended up finishing Prince of Persia for the xbox 360.  I remember playing my first Prince of Persia game on my godmother's 286 running DOS 3 (I think) and Windows 3 for workgroups (wow!).  Back then, as this time around, I ended up killing the prince countless times! It's a good thing that I had Elika around (this time) to save me from myself. When I got Prince of Persia:

Last year I had an opportunity to start watching an old favorite series, Earth Final Conflict (a Gene Roddenberry story), again. I never really got into the final seasons of the show when it originally aired because I had both work and loads of undergraduate homework to do, so by the time I got home the show was almost over. In any case, having just finished watching the show in its entirety, I think

One of the games that I bought used (or cheap) over the Christmas break was Bioshock 2. Having played, and really enjoyed, the original Bioshock I deviced to get this game. I also decided to focus on this game (and Prince of Persia) over my vacation as I was interested in learning what happened to Rapture after the events of Bioshock. Bioshock 2 was quite an engaging game. The game mechanics were
