Playing God Isn’t Easy

Vinh Nguyen — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:23:04 +0000

Just a poem I wrote today. Enjoy!!!

Like a double edge sword
They saw what they saw
A piece here and a piece there
Out came half monkey half man
Out came half fish half woman
A man they called bigfoot
A woman they called mermaid
The products of a laboratory
Where they labored day and night
Like slaves to science
They expected only scorns
For they saw what they saw
Pushing, pushing, and pushing
Pushing forward they were
Their little engines that could
Pushing, pushing, and pushing
Creating their Frankensteins
In the image of twisted imagination
Swearing that it was for the sake of humankind
The beings they called new species
Without a care of what had been unleashed
There they were happy
All smiley
Swearing that it was for the sake of science
Using the double edge sword
They wielded the sharpest edge
Cutting through the common sense
Making fame and fortune
Swearing that it was for the sake of knowledge
Pushing, pushing, and pushing
Their little engines that could
Creative they were
A piece here and a piece there
…
Frankensteins that be
Oy Frankensteins that be
May you unleash your inert potential
Be that sharpest edge
Be that sharpest edge
Does what it does best
Slicing here and there
Forcing your masters to bleed
Bleeding some common sense
Then they might come to truth
Swearing underneath their breath
Playing God isn’t easy

In this video, I briefly talk of how to configure Windows 8 in a way that it allows you to type in other languages. For an example, let say you know how to write in Chinese or French or whatever, you can use my tip to turn on this feature which allows you to type in Chinese or French or whatever on Windows 8. Basically, this tip will use Windows 8′s built-in feature, therefore you don’t have to install any third party software. Furthermore, for the bonus, I also show you how to make your whole operating system (Windows 8) to appear in another language. Anyhow, check out this video right after the break. Enjoy!!!

Microsoft Revealed Xbox One

Vinh Nguyen — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:25:32 +0000

English: A black “Elite” Xbox 360 console by Microsoft. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Microsoft announced the new Xbox console as Xbox One. I think Xbox One will definitely be a worthy adversary to PS4. Now, after seeing some details of Xbox One, I can’t wait to see what PS4 will bring to the game. Xbox One and Ps4 will definitely give more life to the console market. How come? What people forget is that consoles, although have became the computers, are not providing the experience that the computers are providing. How come? Consoles are cheaper than most computers, and they are there to provide a complete experience; unique experience that comes in a single package. Computers can do the same, but computers are more expensive. Computers give more freedom to users when it comes down to choose what sort experience the users want to have, but it does require the users to think for themselves. For an example, users can use computers for entertainment and work, or they can combine all experiences into one, but these customization of experiences require users to make choices and sometimes build the machines themselves. Console on the other hand is uniquely made to provide a unique experience. This is why I think people will go on to show support for consoles even though the line between consoles and computers is getting more blur each day. Anyhow, check out the Xbox One in details by watching the playlist of the Xbox One videos right after the break. Enjoy!!!

Speechless

Vinh Nguyen — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:41:32 +0000

This poem depicts the feeling that I had when I got to read the grueling content therein of “THAILAND: Muslims in the South are slaughtering Buddhists in order to ethnically cleanse the area (WARNING: Graphic Images)” blog post. I condemn (although I’m a nobody) all violences!!! I don’t see how any violence would solve anything, because violences in general only breeds more violences. Of course, the argument goes that if one side would do enough terrors, more so than the other side, then the other side will give up in terror. I doubt that will be the case if the other side doesn’t have a choice in defending themselves. Plus, violence such as killing is so uncivilized, and here I thought we humans are better than this. Aren’t we nowadays have easier access to education than centuries ago? Aren’t we humans know what peace mean? If peace mean peace, why on earth peace has to let violence leads the way? Sure, you can say violence first, peace after, but I refute such a thought. To me, violence first means hatred can be spread farther… there is no guaranty that violence first can solve anything. Nonetheless, if all sides use peace first, only peace can derive from peace. It is almost, if not 100%, a guaranty that peace will always derive from peace. I think killing is the worst of the worst that there is for being human. Killing will never be justified for anything. If a God wants someone to kill another human being, he/she doesn’t deserve to be my God! Period!!! Us humans face tough life from the day we born, certainly we don’t really need violence to be the additional bit to the tough life equation. Survival of day to day life is already so tough, because not everyone is lucky to be born into a wealthy family or meeting the best opportunity in life. Most likely, many people will be sweating their ass off just to make ends meet. The unfortunates might have to face terminal diseases. Yet here we have senseless killing in the name of God. It’s just plain wrong! Isn’t a spiritual belief supposed to be peaceful? I think I should rephrase that! Aren’t all spiritual beliefs supposed to be peaceful? Anyhow, if you like, please enjoy the poem right after the break!

Rumor had it,
or the truth had it,
whatever had it.
Nonetheless, I had read it.
Got disgusted!
I cringed at it!
Feeling ill just to picture it!
Got disgusted!
I cringed at it!
Such sadistic!
Got disgusted!
Idiotic!
Only animals would do it!
Got disgusted!
Speechless!!!
Not a single word can define it.
Sadistic!
Animalistic!
And yet I just know about it.
Shaking my fist at this animalistic shit!
Idiots!
Got disgusted!
Only animals would do it.
I got mad as hell at this animalistic shit!
Nonetheless, one thinks of it,
what goes around comes around, isn’t it?

China To Build Straddling Buses? Freeing Up Traffic And Providing Self-Efficient Green Energy Public Transportation System?

Vinh Nguyen — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:05:27 +0000

China is trying to work on the straddling bus concept. If my knowledge isn’t too little and too old about this concept, then I’m not wrong about that China is still working on this concept and has yet to actually go ahead and make this concept a reality. Nonetheless, the video which I will link/embed at the end of this blog post sounds as if China will eventually have straddling bus system in place in the next few years if not less time than that. Personally, I want to see China successfully transforms this straddling bus concept into a reality. If straddling buses work miracle in China, the rest of the world will follow suit to have build a better traffic system. It definitely will improve traffic condition for everyone in the world.

What is straddling bus concept? Well, if you watch the video that I’m going to link/embed at the end of this blog post, it explains way better than I will ever be able to at the moment. I’m still not knowing enough about straddling bus concept really. Nonetheless, it seems that the straddling bus concept might use some sort of green self-charged energy system which will produce zero greenhouse gas effect, consequently it will be a very energy efficient public transportation system for humans. While behaving as a public transportation for humans, straddling bus concept provides zero obstacle to the normal traffic since straddling bus doesn’t have to be the object which blocks the normal traffic; straddling bus will just move/glide over the normal traffic.

The video after the break explains that straddling bus doesn’t even have to need its own parking space since it can just park anywhere without really disturbing the normal traffic. Basically, straddling bus can just stop at mid-traffic and yet won’t cause a traffic jam at all. Of course, if there is another straddling bus that is behind the first one, then the first straddling bus which parked at mid-traffic will be an obstacle for the second one. Nonetheless, I wonder will straddling bus be able to just switch lane? At the moment, I don’t think straddling bus can do such a thing unless I’m totally wrong. Anyhow, I think straddling bus concept is very interesting, and it might be very cool for us to ride on. Check out the video right after the break to see what the fuss is about a straddling bus concept.

Too Late Is Too Late

Vinh Nguyen — Sat, 18 May 2013 07:50:30 +0000

Fixing up an old poetry I wrote in 2010. I thought it was poorly written, therefore I kept it out of public for a long time. Now I read it again, and wow it does sound not too bad. Anyhow, I don’t want to keep this poetry in private anymore, and here it is. Hopefully, I had fixed it enough that it is no longer that bad. Nonetheless, whether it’s poorly written or not, please enjoy it!!!

Why do humans love cruelties so much?
So much, very much so
that one can always call upon
the ghosts of the pasts
and ask
about the terrible things
they once had witnessed
in times
about the terrible things
they once partook
in times
about the terrible things
they rather whispered
in times
about the terrible things
they thought God wept
in times
about the terrible things
one rather bit own tongue
in times
about the terrible things
one dug a hole to hide one’s head
in times
about the terrible things
evil ruled the world
in times
about the terrible things
angels rather wept
in times
about the terrible things
wrong seemed right
in times
about the terrible things
no soul knew good deeds
in times
about the terrible things
simplest matters seemed impossible
in times.
Yes, yet a nose from he
or she or me
had ever yet to grow
longer than a usual nose
unlike he who called himself
I am Pinocchio
who was a creation of pine
who wanted to be a real boy.
Yes, although a man over there
looked like a golden bar
and a woman over here
looked like a yummy chocolate
and a child over there
resembled red soil
and a senile over here
had been as white as snow
but everyone of them
had bled with red water
that polluted the stream
of past histories.
One could pour a bucket
full of ink over this
in black or red or whatever
words could form as if magic
needed nobody to form them
by the will of God’s words
had formed themselves.
Wasn’t that one agreed
of the first word’s origin
how it came about
and how it lingered
in the air or
in the tongue
of a first word bender
which told the tale
of the first humans
if not one but two
had come together
as one to form
a flock of what is now
in billions
and yet the flock
seems to lose sight
of what weighs more
than gold
to let cruelties
rule the world,
the world of the flock
the flock of the world
shall meet the end
if not careful
and be constructive
as destructive force
the flock has came to love
runs amok among the flock,
then the flock is no more
no longer shall or but
and is only that the flock
is no longer in existence
and shall too
all cruelties of the world
obliterating into nothingness.
It is too late as now
for the flock to turn
the tide of time
to change what cruelties
into love once bounded the flock
in the very beginning
when word first spoke
on a first father
and a first mother
true parents of all humankind.
Too late is too late.

Breaking Away Into Nothingness

Vinh Nguyen — Sat, 18 May 2013 06:52:45 +0000

A poem of which I had written in 2010. I thought it was so bad that I abstained from having another look at it. Now when I read it, somehow it does sound rather dazzling. Want to read it? Have a go and enjoy!!!

Once fluttered within the wind
The breeze cooled its skin
Sending out its scent
Sprinkling a lovely smell
Over the open landscape
Death chill had ascended
Fluttering within memory
Where was the scent?
Breaking away into nothingness
Flowing down the stream
Forbidden hopes mattered most
Even forbidden hopes
Fluttering within the wind
Fluttering within the memory
Was this truly this?
