Hello, my name is Philip Huang.
This is my personal website which I mainly use to rant about life, business, web design, politics, and other random topics. Sometimes I attempt to be humorous so just play along. Thanks for visiting!
WHY IS ESPN2 SHOWING DOUBLES
Federer is playing a semifinal match. I didn’t get up this early to watch doubles!!! What is wrong with these broadcasters?
Diablo III
Well, Blizzard announced Diablo 3 over the weekend. It’s basically the same gameplay, except they’re improving and expanding on everything like graphics, items, etc. You can’t go wrong with that. Blizzard is smart and they know their big franchises have huge installed bases and there’s no reason to fix something that isn’t broken. Don’t rock the boat, just polish everything and make it better. Same deal as StarCraft 2.
Verizon FiOS Coming Soon
I just got a notice today that Verizon is going to be wiring the property I live on with FiOS over the next 3 months so I guess I’ll be able to get FiOS in about 3 months. Yay! We have a bulk deal with Time Warner Cable so I get discounted cable; hopefully we’ll get a similar deal with Verizon as well.
Vantage Point
I recently watched Vantage Point and it was a really a mixed bag. I guess it was an okay movie. It was interesting to see each person’s individual point of view but there are so many plot holes or plot devices that were just really weak.
You really have to watch the movie to understand this review. I just can’t review this movie without tearing apart the plot. Everything else like the acting and the action sequences were decent and pretty good actually.
********** MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD **********
Battlestar Galactica Mid-Season Finale
Holy frak, that was a good episode. WOW. That is good TV.
Lakers Lose Game 4
Wow, seriously way to go Lakers, blowing a 24-point lead. Boston defense pretty much shut down the Lakers and Kobe in the second half.
Yahoo is Screwed
So Yahoo officially announced that its talks with Microsoft have concluded they have once again failed to reach any kind of deal. There are reports that Yahoo may soon announce a search deal with Google. They’ll basically be outsourcing search to Google. Throwing away a core competency key to its long-term success for short-term gain. In my eyes I feel like Yahoo really botched this whole thing.
35 Articles of Impeachment of President George W. Bush
http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=93581
Bill Clinton got impeached for lying about the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. Bush lied to the whole country and the world to justify launching a costly, poorly planned, preemptive, and ILLEGAL war. The US invaded a sovereign nation that posed no threat, in violation of domestic and international law and the UN charter. Regardless of everything else this war criminal has done, why hasn’t he been impeached yet? It’s shameful that neither Democratic leadership nor mainstream media are willing to pay more attention to this. This isn’t about politics, it’s a matter of duty to this country - Bush AND Cheney need to be held accountable for their crimes.
It’s Really Hot
Man, this early heat wave in NYC is unbearable.
2008 French Open Men’s Final, Federer v. Nadal
Wow, I did not expect Federer to be so thoroughly dismantled. Although I knew Federer had to play an excellent match to win, I honestly believed he had a chance. Nadal is just too damn good on clay.
