I'll be doing reviews on lychee drinks. I've only encountered so many, so I'll add to the list as I try more and more. The one above is from Maaza. I think of all the ones I've tried so far, that one tastes most like lychee. Too bad it costs so much! It's one of those drinks that you have to embrace every sip because it finishes quickly!

So I'm walking through the student union and all of a sudden I see a bunch of girls yelling free condoms. Naturally I walk over to see what the fuss is about. Apparently it's National Condom Week, organizations all over the states are giving out free condoms to help people remember these bad boys protect you from STDs and pregnancy. Isn't it odd that its right after Valentine's Day?

Here are some of the National Condom Week slogans:

Don't be silly, protect your willy
When in doubt, shroud your spout
It will be sweeter if you wrap your peter
No glove, no love!

Although the organizations use humor to grab our attention, this is no joke boys and girls. Stay safe, use a condom.

I had to get my mic fixed today though Dell's Livechat. I asked the guy earlier in the conversation if he was from India and he responded yes (I always ask this question when I'm talking to them). So after he was done helping me I had a question. It wasn't out of racism or ignorance but rather out of curiousity. I asked him if he watched Slumdog Millionaire, apparently he didn't. He better keep his word and watch it because it's a darn good movie! Trailer below.

If the little Superbowl tease wasn’t enough for you heres the full trailer of the new Transformers movie.

That’s a lot of explosions.

Live Journal blogger artera_tv has posted up a collection of 100 Nazi color photographs.

It’s just really interesting to see the most infamous organization in history. Despite the whole thing about Nazis being bad, those photo were really impressive.

In Magenta Ain’t a Colour by Liz Elliot, Elliot explains why magenta isn’t an actual color. The colors of the light spectrum all have wavelengths. Red being the longest and violet being the shortest. But magenta doesn’t have a wavelength! It’s actually just your brain inventing a new color when you see both the red and violet light waves at the same time. Pretty interesting stuff.

It’s part of a phenomenon known as Qualia. Qualia is basically the interface between how our brain processes information and how our mind interprets it.

A simple analogy is a computer. The picture that you see on a computer monitor is made up by the computer to represent the states inside it.  Just like the brain, inside the computer, everything is coded in electrical spikes. Yet you see pictures and text on the computer's monitor. This is to help you interface with the computer, just as Qualia helps you to interface with your brain which is connected by your senses to your world.

This is pretty crazy. All those years that went by thinking that magenta was a color. Our brains are lying to us!

Oh, the mysteries of the universe.
