Life renewed in paper.

Now basically all life on this planet requires water to survive. There is no living organism out there that cannot live with out it. I love it when awesome designers think about re-cycling paper into useful paper bottles. Instead of egg crates or paper board, one person decided we need to spare the crappy plastic bottles into something that will at lease bio-degrade.

introducing a conceptual water bottle. life.

Gigantic Tuna Auction

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

this year there was a Bluefin Tuna that went to auction for about 32Million Yen

from “news on japan”

A bluefin tuna from Hokkaido fetched a record-high 32.49 million yen on Wednesday in the first auction of the year on the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market, commonly known as Tsukiji market, market officials said. The price for the 342-kilogram tuna, caught off Toi in Japan’s northernmost prefecture, is the highest since 1999 when comparable data became available. It was well above the previous record of 20.2 million yen marked in 2001.

So there is a concept car from http://www.imoconcept.com/ and the idea is basically copy a lot of apple current tech and past tech and combine them into one vehicular design. the name is funny even though its poking at the
“i” in apples “i” line an Mo short for motors. In Japanese imo means potato.

here are some shots of what they have come up with as far as concepts. i’m thinking since its supposed to be out in 2024 its all electrical. They love apple so much their site design even mimics apples current site. funny indeed.

fizz buzz test.

Category: technical
Tags: , , ,

I ran across this post on reddit.com about some developers who have had some school learnins’ and things, they couldn’t even do a fizz buzz question. Now I never heard of this so I decided that I write up some thing that did it. I wrote it up in php and javascript. the javascript portion wasn’t tested though. HA

here is the question they asked on http://www.codinghorror.com/

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print “FizzBuzz”.

kinda simple I guess. all in the modulus i spose.

php:

echo "<pre>";
        $i = 1;
        while ($i < 101) {
            if($i % 3 == 0 && $i % 5 == 0)  {
                echo '--FizzBuzz'."\n";
            }
            elseif($i % 3 == 0) {
                echo 'Fizz'."\n";
            }
            elseif($i % 5 == 0) {
                echo 'Buzz'."\n";
            }
            else {
                echo $i."\n";
            }
            $i++;
        }
echo "</pre>";

javascript:

        for(i=1; i<101; i++) {
            if (i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0 ) {
            document.write('FizzBuzz
'); } else if (i % 3 == 0) { document.write('Fizz
'); } else if (i % 5 == 0) { document.write('Buzz
'); } else { document.write(i + '
'); } }
