By Dale Mooney On December 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment

At some point in learning to program, you will have to have fun with IF statements or selection methods. This includes, but not limited to Switch, IF and so on. Understanding them is fundamental to learning to program.

By Dale Mooney On December 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Although i never really liked the idea behind waving and jumping around my room in order to play a game, but the Kinect can have many other uses. So instead of being used to track idiots plodding around their rooms, it can actually do something useful.

By Dale Mooney On December 15, 2011 · Leave a Comment

It still makes me sad knowing that there are people out there that simply do not want to accept evolution as a fact.

After reading through this article on Los Angeles Times, it makes you wonder how stupid can be.

“In Hart County, about an hour and 20 minutes south of Louisville, the local [...]
