Ahmad Karimi’s works

Just the other day I was thinking to myself, “when will Apple finally drop the “i-” prefix. It seems to be a little overused these days.” Google comes along and pulls a fast one on us.

Although Google is known for testing out certain things for just a few days before they seemingly disappear again. A few months ago they brought some changes to the Image Results page, but those were gone within the week. Who knows if this little addition will last, but I sure hope not.

I guess that’s what the i means in google.com/ig No comments

Watching this video almost brought tears to my eyes as I saw all my glory days of high school flash before me. It’s a short video but it shows all the progress that has been brought to TI-calculator based gaming over the years. It features classics from the likes of Super Mario 83 and Bubble Bobble to great originals such as Desolate by Patrick Prendergast and Asprin by Jean-Francois Geyelin…. there’s even a Counter-Strike port to the TI!

So if you’re a nerd like me (or like I was) make sure to watch this video and see how many games you recognize. No comments

This is possibly the coolest fan made Batman flick ever made. Heck, it’s probably the best Batman flick of any that were ever made. It’s just too bad it didn’t have any of the classic “Pow! Bam! Biff!” but it does have the classic Batman theme at the end, which I found funny. And make sure to watch it to the very last second.

One of my friends asked me to create a logo for her new business “Development Consulting Group, LLC”. God knows what she does, but I created a simple little logo for her.

You might think it looks a little quasi-AT&T, but hey… I think it looks pretty good for a quick little job. So if you ever do business with her, keep in mind that I created the logo. No comments

I just noticed this cool new feature this morning. You can now select a theme for your Google home page! There’s a selection of about five themes you can choose from.

That’s the beach theme right there. Another neat-o feature is that the themes change with the time of day. It’s like Google is taking over my life, and it doesn’t even bother me!

You steal from target, you go to jail… FOR LIFE! Just watch this video. This is as serious as it gets.

So this guy from GameJew, who I’m pretty sure is gay (confirmation on that anyone?) wrote a song about Miyamoto, for Miyamoto and he finally got a chance to sing it to him at the last possible moment at GDC. Catch the video of it here.

So now the PlayStation 3 finally has some substance. Sony revealed to things the other day at the Game Developers Conference that pretty much directly compete with the Wii’s Mii system and the XBox’s achievements points. It’s called Home. It’s like a whole virtual world beautifully rendered on the PS3. You create your character and walk around and chat with others. You can even invite them over to your “Home” and virtually share any content that you have stored on your PS3. Basically, it’s a mash up of The Sims, Second Life, and that weird virtual Laguna Beach thing that you can play online.

You can read more about it here and you can also watch the HD demo of Home here.

The second thing that Sony revealed is a game called Little Big Planet. It’s sort of like a cutesy Nintendo-esque type of game, with the tiny little characters and the big heads, but this goes way beyond that. You can create a game level with the built in blocks and pieces. It’s really simple the way things work, but it actually looks really fun. And it looks like it would be fun to play with a number of people. You can watch the demo video here and you can catch the actual demo from the GDC stage here.

Alright, so this is a developing story. The other day I was at our campus library and I notice this kid standing at one of the few mac computers. He has his headphones plugged in and everything, just standing there for hours… watching ‘explicit’ videos on Youtube. And he’s there all day long. I’ll come in in the morning sometimes and he’s there. in the afternoon, he’s there…. just watching the same old videos of dancing girls and stuff.

Just this morning, my roommate comes in and tells me about this kid and I was like “yeah, I’ve seen him there, it’s kinda weird. And then he tells me that this kid is actually masturbating right there at the computer. And it’s not even like it’s on a desk with a chair so he can kind of conceal himself. He’s standing the whole time, hand in pocket… just stroking it. It gave me shivers…

Anyway, later on today, a few of my roommates friends came by and stuck this sign up on our door.

There’s a similar one near the elevator on our floor also. They also snapped a few ‘action shots’ as well.

Here’s what my roommate wrote about it on Facebook:

There’s this guy on the last mac computer toward the side opposite of the elevators jerking off through his jeans looking at psuedo youtube porn. He’s been going at it for 30 minutes. [We] are sitting at a table “studying” and we are all so distracted by this guy. We told the dude at the research desk who then called VCU police to have him kicked out. Yea, his hand is moving rapidly in his pocket and he is looking at like girls rubbing oil on their boobs, women’s skirts being blown up…really offensive….but funny as hell. Here is a picture of the cop confronting him…

Said the masturbator…”It ain’t nude.” 1 comment
