Here’s another Rubénerd Fun Fact for all you rabid Official Rubénerd Fun Fact fans. This one is in direct response to this prediction from the proprietor of the IntoYourHead show.
I predict that 3d DVDs won’t take off, due to their awkward spherical shape which won’t fit in most players.
Game show buzzer!
3D DVDs will sell because they’re designed to play in ubiquitous three dimensional DVD players.
Read this post quick, the MPAA will probably demand it be taken down in a few hours.

Every so often you read a blog post by someone that talks about an issue so close to you and using words you would have used that it’s not only spooky, but makes you think there’s a secret evil conspiracy going on. I accuse Josh Nunn of orchestrating such a conspiracy this evening with his latest blog post.
I’m taking a break from anime backgrounds for a while (stop the presses!) for this photo taken of the Dequindre Cut in Detroit of all places!
Having let more unread posts pile up like a massive pile of unread posts, I’ve decided once and for all to declare Google Reader bankruptcy. George Bush, I Can Haz Bailout?

I had no idea my mum was a time-traveller who visited the recent past from 1977 just to buy an LP and go back! She was even more awesome than I thought ^_^.
And it works! Yays! ^_^ I’ll be detailing how on Sunday when I have more time, suffice to say it was far more complex and time consuming than I imagined it would be. The Windows 95 partition has also been preserved, albeit in a smaller partition.
It may be a nerdy thing to admit, but working on puzzles like this and solving them is just about the greatest feeling in the world. ^_^
I’ve finally found a drive that PartedMagic can’t handle, but fortunately I still have a friend in dd. Sounds like a trailer for an episode of Dexter’s Laboratory. UPDATE: Even better, use an old Knoppix CD!
In case you needed another reason to obsess over the up and coming second season of the moe-blob-but-still-awesome music anime K-On, there’s going to be a new character called Miura Akane-chan.
I'm Ruben Schade, welcome to my labour of love mix of tech, anime, thoughts and nonsense from Singapore and Australia. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm also on Twitter, Flickr, Google Reader and lots more places.
