National Champions: LSU Tigers

LSU has won the national championship in a game against OSU last night. The game was played at the same stadium that gave refuge to the people affected by hurricane Katrina. Since I reside in the winning team's state I could not be left un-affected. So much so that my 7 year old nephew was fighting with me to get him home early from his tuition so that he could watch the game. The first question he asks me, when we are home, "Moiz mamu which team is LSU?" But still there was so much gossip going around in his class about the game that he got interested even if didn't want to. such is the love for the game in this country.
OSU started the game on an offensive note in the first quarter, but this was not to last for long as LSU soon recovered never to loose their lead in the remaining 3 quarters. The biggest problem with OSU's game was their offense. It seemed to work only for the first 5 minutes of the game and afterwards was completely blocked by the LSU tigers.
The city was in festive mood after the game. We happened to go to New Orleans International after the game and I-10 was full at 12 in the night with crowds returning to Baton rouge and other places.

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...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

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...
