Post Amazers

   I happened to watch this animated programme on our national television network just today. The software production house behind this effort is known as Post Amazers. They are a wholly Pakistani venture into the software production industry. I must say they are doing a great job. The graphics of the animation were pretty good with some good effects. Although the sound dubbing was a little awry but still the production was compatible with any in the world simply for the reason that it was indigenously made.
   Actually the programme is called something like Safeguard Commander Safeguard and the idea behind this is to promote cleanliness habits in the young children of the nation. The characters speak in Urdu which makes it comprehensible to a large number of audience around the country. Similarly the situations shown are closer to our social setup although they are purely a fantasy. Still the names of the characters and the places produce a sense of belonging to this culture. This obviously makes the message being put across pretty attractive to general Pakistani population and easier to understand and remember.
I am amazed at the quality of talent and budding promise shown by the computer geniuses in our country. Infact a while back I remember a guy from my school actually used to work for this production house. He told me that they were doing some stuff for the guys at the Hollywood too.
I have a lot of praise for all those who are working at this production house. Two thumbs up to them. Way to go guys!

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...

Tax skirting by hospital systems?

The issue of avoiding federal taxes is in the news these days with Apple being in the spotlight.  Most of the times big companies avoid paying US taxes by skirting their profits to tax havens.  Healthcare giants can do the same theoretically.  Imagine if there were a health care giant that opens up shop in tax haven islands and then uses the same technique that commercial entities use to skirt their profits out of the country, thereby avoiding taxes.  This is very much possible.  The of shore clinics can be potentially used to complicate the tax return filing system here in US.  I could never understand why a completely US hospital system would like to open up a clinic in Bahamas.  These clinics are portrayed as the global reach of the entity but who do they actually serve.  We never hear about them in press or public.  These clinics are apparently manned by some doctors we never hear about.  How does this system work?  I really do...
