This year I’m focusing on habits to help me build new skills and look after my health. One of these habits is to do push-ups every morning. I went from not doing push-ups at all, to doing them every single morning. As I write this, I’m on a streak of 45 days in a row. From zero to more than a month without stopping, here’s how I did it.

I’ve never played Fluxx, but holy crap, the Firefly version has an “I’ll be in my bunk” card that forces you to leave the room for several minutes. Sold.
This is how the poster would look if the World of Warcraft movie were going for “realistic by game terms.” Yes, now we can understand why they strayed from that look and went gritty, to be honest.
I have never seen The Garden of the Words, but as far as anime movies go, it’s apparently one of the most beautiful movies of the genre you can see. In the picture gallery below, you can compare some of the visuals of the film with their real life equivalent in Tokyo. Please note that in all of the pictures, the top section is from the anime, and the bottom one from a real photo of the location.
Akemi’s English has vastly improved over the 6+ years (!) we’ve been together. Nevertheless, she’s still prone to the occasional Akemi-isms, those odd turns of phrase uniquely hers. I’ve covered them in past blog entries, everything from terms like “punching sweet” (super sweet) to descriptives like “tastes like old man’s pillow” (her take on the flavor of truffles) to words of wisdom like “Tokyo crows are very smart. They eat McDonald’s garbage and their brains get bigger!” (on the superior intelligence of Tokyo crows).
Here are a few more to add to the list:
brinkle: to blink
porkupintus: appendicitis
Something’s coming down with me!: I’m coming down with something!
You’re shrinking like a balloon ten days after birthday party!: You’ve lost weight!
grandma eyes: poor eyesight
miss and hit: hit and miss (If you attempt to correct her, she’ll always reply: “Same thing.”)
mooshy-mushy: squishy, semi-solid state usually used to describe the texture of those nut and syrup mash-ups vegan cafes attempt to pass off as “cookies”.
bricklyn style: architecturally, any building with a prevailing brick work structure
Sommaren 2014 lovade OnePlus att företagets allra första telefon skulle få Android Lollipop inom 90 dagar efter att källkoden släppts. Så blev inte riktigt fallet. Mjukvaran bestod då av Cyanogen OS. Sedan dess har OnePlus tagit kontroll över sitt egen firmware (Oxygen OS) och avslutat samarbetet med Cyanogen.
Att ha skapat eget gränssnitt verkar dock inte ha gjort uppdateringsprocessen påtagligt snabbare, då det nu är drygt fem månader sedan Marshmallow landade. Men nu är Android 6.0.1-uppdateringen till sist på gång för OnePlus 2.
Tillverkaren har skickat ut Marshmallow till ett fåtal exemplar för att se till så att allt fungerar som det ska innan allmänna uppdateringen, vilken bör inledas snart.
Attention, Person of Interest fans: you may finally exhale. The long-anticipated fifth season of the show will begin May 3, after a year off the air. But while you’re clearing your Tuesday nights, better make room on Mondays, too. After the premiere, the show will move to twice-weekly airings, starting May 9.
Many PC vendors market their laptops with 1366 by 768 screens as “high definition,” but these are not the laptops you deserve. Laptop Magazine argues that you should never settling for anything less than 1080p for your next laptop.
OnePlus har börjat skicka ut version 2.2.1 av sitt gränssnitt Oxygen OS för telefonen ”2”. Kamera-appen får stöd för att fånga bilder i RAW-formatet, vilket ger betydligt större möjligheter att bearbeta fotografierna i efterhand.
Företaget har även åtgärdat en bugg i kamera-appen som kunde resultera i trasiga bilder. Bluetooth-kompatibiliteten har förbättrats och likaså kompatibiliteten för ”Ultra SIM”. Nya mjukvaran innehåller avslutningsvis en säkerhetsuppdatering.
Oxygen OS 2.2.1 skickas ut stegvis, enligt OnePlus.
