Intelligent ramblings of mr. Clarkson

Nov 22nd, 2011

Image from one of my favorite Top Gear specials, the North Pole Expedition I am talking of course about Jeremy Clarkson, the Top Gear presenter, and his book 'For crying out Loud'. For most of the time I find Clarkson simply ingenious. The man is gifted with a unique talent to see through complicated things, and present them in a simple manner. Although there are some things I don't agree with him his book is a perfect read for a vacation. Does this quote leave you indifferent?

Life quotes to live by

Feb 16th, 2011

New to chess, and loving it

Oct 24th, 2010

I never considered my self proficient in chess and I do not know why the game did not appeal to me before. Everyone considers chess the ultimate strategy and I love strategy. I have 20+ strategy board games at home that we often play but I always felt chess has something to do with mathematics and not strategy. And boy I was wrong. It turns out that chess is not only all about strategy and tactics, but the emotions and decisions made in a chess game are easily applied to everyday life.

How long have I been here

Feb 8th, 2010

I threw a party to celebrate my 10,000th day of life which happened in 2004 (thats around when you are 27). I am very disappointed I missed my one billionth second of life which happened last year in July (happens when you are 32). Not to miss any of these days here is a script to help calculate them. How long have I lived thus far? Your Date of Birth in following format Day-Month-Year (example: 23-11-1984) :When will I reach this number of days or seconds?
