Satanism 5 comments »

What does your religion mean for you? Do you think that other religions are wrong?
I am a satanist. More exactly, philosophical satanist (read it through before arguing please). No, it doesn’t mean that I eat children and listen to heavy metal (though sometimes I do, but now I am listening to Enya and it doesn’t […]

Nonsense arguing 3 comments »

Me: “2+3=5″
Stupid: “No, that is not true, 1+1=2″
Others: “Hmmm, Stupid is correct, 1+1=2 … tasuki, you should accept that!”
Me: “Well, duh, of course 1+1=2, but that has nothing to do with 2+3=5″
Others: “tasuki should really calm down as it is completely clear that we are correct and 1+1=2″
Stupid: “See? I said it from the beginning […]

Floor kaya goban 1 comment »

Here it is, in my very own room.
It’s a floor goban made of the highest quality wood known as kaya. The stones are made of slate and shells.
It cost 10 000€, which I find quite expensive, might as well be the best goban in the whole Europe. Now I should say that it is […]

First video game Be the first to comment! »

Keo pointed me to a page that has extensive information about first video game. The game was made in 1958 and played on oscilloscope, which I find utterly hilarious (playing videogames is one of the few things I surely wouldn’t use oscilloscope for ).
There is also a 2 minute video, which is worth watching even […]

Humm, it would be probably useless to write more shit^H^H^H^Hstuff here, so I will just send you to the optical illusions page.
As a side note, I […]

Dvonn Be the first to comment! »

I’ve played DVONN (which is a game from the GIPF project) once in Prague’s board games club called Paluba. Now I started to play DVONN on littlegolem (no link needed for regular readers, right? ) and I found myself in trouble after noticing that I play it despite not even remembering the rules exactly.
Well, now […]

Night buses Be the first to comment! »

They built a bus stop just in front of our house. It is only used by night buses, which none of our family uses much, so it is pretty useless for us. The bus goes up the hill so as it accelerates it makes a horrible noise.
Now to get to the main point — there […]
