Windows 8 Developer Preview on MacBook

I installed a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive with Windows 8 Developer Preview on a MacBook. It boots up just fine with the exception with the MacBook trackpad driver. Gotta give Microsoft credit for making Windows 8 compatible with older hardwares such as this MacBook.

Putting a lot of faith in Apple Maps

On Tuesday, I was heading out to Manhattan, New York from Ridgewood, New Jersey. Armed with an iPad with Apple Maps, I became the navigator. I was putting a lot of faith in Apple Maps to tell me where to go. It’s all good.

Something Small

I believe they are Iron Powder Toroids. The diameter is at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) and the height is at 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). The Iron Powder Toroids are placed on top of a Retina iPad screen.

Meatloaf T. Cat In Memoriam

Sad news, Meatloaf T. Cat passed away late Monday morning January 21, 2013.

Meatloaf had help us raising and fostering stray kittens we’ve rescued for the past 10 years. We will continue to do so in memory of him.

Meatloaf was one the subjects of our photography work and pictures of him almost made it to National Geographic Magazine.

Meatloaf was a great cat, more than a pet. We all are sad to see him gone. We know that his spirit will carry on as we continue our efforts in rescuing animals, especially kittens.

The bent pins

A few days a go my colleague and I were working on a computer which was having some odd problems. During the trouble shooting, I noticed something with the CPU socket.

At a glance, there’s nothing wrong with the CPU socket, but upon a much closer inspection you can see where the problem is.

Two pins were bent out of shape. It might be causing the computer to randomly crash.
