New pictures

I added a few new pictures to my gallery on johnsonyip.com . It is super hot in Vancouver, BC . I wish I had Air Conditioning at home.

I submitted my blog at http://johnsonyip.com/wordpress to a few blog directories today. I also watch Pretty Cure.

I read a story about some kid who wants to sue Amazon because the “Kindle e-book reader” deleted his homework. I don’t think he has much of a case.

I so want to see the new Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen Movie

July 2nd, 2009 by Johnson Yip No comments »

It looks like a great movie from trailers I saw of it online and on TV. It looks better then the first one. The Video game looks better, too. Too bad, I don’t own a Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360.

It looks like an Awesome Action movie.

Tutorial for Saving image files as PNG image files instead of Jpeg.

June 11th, 2009 by Johnson Yip No comments »

This tutorial talks about the benefits of saving your picture files as PNG instead of Jpeg, or Gif. Jpegs are only good for Photos with “a lot” of colours. PNG are good for saving clipart and photoquality pictures as well. It is a very versatile picture format.

But, gif are still the best for animated gifs.

Benefits

Small Picture size

No blurryness when saving images with more then 256 colours or less.

Have better colour saturation when saving images with more then 256 colours.

Volunteered at Free Geek Vancouver.

May 18th, 2009 by Johnson Yip No comments »

It was pretty fun. I help took apart a few computers for recycling for 6 hours. I learned that there are many different kinds of computer cases. The newer computer case are usually easier to take apart compared to the older computer cases. I learned how to take out a mother board, and the Cmos battery on the mobo.
