I happened to watch the excerpt of “fighting gravity” from America’s Got Talent. Judges were like “you are so original”, “great”, and so on. However, it’s not quite original in my opinion. I believe credit should be given to the japanese matrix ping pong.

Anyways, here are two clips:

“Fighting Gravity from America’s Got Talent”:

I was told by my friend who works for Yahoo Performance Team in Sunnyvale that they are looking for a hybrid engineer(FE/BE) and its role is :

• primary developer for the next generation of Y!Slow
• Roundtrip FE and performance related research
• evangelism (teaching classes, speaking in conference, and so on)

It sounds very interesting to me. Also it is highly visible role in the company as well as industry. Let me know if any of you are interested in the job. 🙂

I’ve launched a sorta social site “groupstick.com” few weeks ago. Since then I’ve got some users signed up, but they are all from my work place. I should add a section for instruction since people told me that they did not know what to do with basically. That was a good point indeed.

I know what it is for since I created it. If I summarize what the site is for, here it is:

main features

• Message board based on topic and topic becomes a group.
• Email notification when user posts a message (default), so works like email list as well
• Twitter like UI
• User can view their group posts at home page
• Private and Public group

security

• Entire site on secure channel (SSL)
• Strong salt technique for user’s password
• Daily Data backup
• Data Recovery
• Validation of users

public group feature

• Anyone can see the messages
• Anyone can create a group
• Anyone can join a group if signed up
• Messages and title are searchable
• Can share via facebook, digg, and so on
• unlimited number of groups per user

private group feature

• Invitation only and invitee has to accept the invitation to join the group
• Search does not index private groups
• No one can know existence of private groups except group members
• No one can view messages in private groups except group members

I have to admit that the site needs more features. However, I think groupstick.com is ready for more users and users can take full advantages of it.

If you have seen one for Tiger Woods when his affair sage was exposed, this is same thing, but with Steve Jobs.
