John Venn birthday - Google's doodle!!

It's been a long time since I posted here. Many things happened during that short period. Election has passed and they already announced the result. Also, my father recently passed away. It's shocking for me, because that week I have seminar on my final project. 
My dad passed away on July 7th, 2014. On July 12th, I had my seminar and a week after on July 19th, I had session for the final project. It done pretty well. I almost cried there, it's just picturing me on the final year of my study in Bogor Agricultural Institute (BAU) without my dad there, it's not what I had in my mind.
Anyway, this day is the first day after a short holiday and it's Monday. Right on this day, John Vann was born. He's the person who made that Vann's diagram. At first, I didn't notice but the name, the last name was familiar. 


It's an interactive Google's doodle. You can click the play button and it'll go directly to (look the picture below). You have to choose one of the options.


After the options have been choose. You can see the result. Like what I chose are, sea life and have a shell. The result is (look below)

It's a turtle. Quite impressive aren't they? You can reset it and done it many times. If you want to know more about him, you can see it here John Vann's biography.
Okay, that's a wrap. Thank you for reading this post. I am sorry if there's misspells or my English's horrible. Again thank you. :)

Brazillll - Google's doodle for FIFA World Cup 2014



I kind of forget to post this. Anyway how is the World Cup? It's such an unpredictable this year. You can see some great teams have a bad match. It's a shame. But if the World Cup can be predictable is not fun anymore. We need 'WOW' factor. Hehehehe..

Even though I'm not a football maniac, but I hope your favourite team can be in finals :)

I hate it. I mean I love Google. But seriously, is it only me who is confused by this doodles? It don't make a sense. What is it means? I have tried to click it, but it only link to another match. Not what I need. It's like a miscommunication between me and Google. Bad guy Google!! :(

But I got to say, I like the animation. Not to much but enough. Anyway, see you next post. Bye bye ^^

FIFA WORLD CUP!! - Google doodle's

World Cupppppppppp!!!!!!

I am not a big fans of football/soccer but I like watching football match time to time. The big event is always World Cup. Watching it with your family and friends, this event can bring people together. I think this is a good event. With all the supporters who watch in stadium or at home. The spirit is so high and you can feel the atmosphere even you only watch it on tv. 

Of course this big event didn't go unnoticed by Google. Nope. They make a doodle of it. I got to say, it's a cute one. :3


You can see all the matches and the teams who compete here -> FIFA WORLD CUP 2014

Have fun watching it! If you're watching it live, please be careful and take care :)
Thanks for reading this ^^ bye~

We need more storage!!

Yes, deep down inside, I know we all think, we need more storage. We have enough but not enough for our hobbies (maybe photography, movie, anything) or for someone with so much document. At some point, you begin to search for storage.

That's when cloud storage began to shine. Do you know what is cloud storage?
Cloud storage is a model of networked enterprise storage where data is stored in virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by third parties.
So basically you can store data virtually, not in your hard-disk. But to access it you need network, internet. It's an unlimited storage online!!

Personally I used so many cloud storage. Some for my college project and materials, some just my pictures because I tend to shot a lot of pictures back when I was in senior high. For now, I will write down some of cloud storage that I used ^^

  1. Dropbox - Start from 2 GB (you can get more from invite people). I am quiet happy with it. Nahh, I just majorly happy!! I got 6 GB because.. ohh I don't know maybe because I sync it with my phone. LOL lame excuses.. sorry guys, i don't know the reason why..
  2. Box - Start from 10 GB for free (according to their web). I put all my college materials and projects here. It's interface looks the same with Dropbox.
  3. MediaFire - Start from 10 GB. People used it mostly to share their files with others because I think it's a lot easier. Thou I don't open it anymore.
  4. Google Drive - Start from 15 GB. What make people use it, because it's synchronized with Google Mail. Google and their empire =___=;;;

So far? I like Dropbox because it can sync our photos from smartphone to the cloud storage. It's simple and easy. I hope this article can helped you :)

That's all from me. I hope I can see you tomorrow ^^

What I Learned in College (Part 1)

I just read The 16 Most Important Lessons I Learned In College and I start thinking, within this past 4 years what did I learn in my College, Bogor Agricultural University. I'm still a computer science student and now working hard to graduate this year. Wish me luck. ^^

Anyway, I learned so much during my 4 years in college. Met some interesting friend and lecturer. It's all fun and exciting. In the article, she said that often we get a job in something totally unrelated with our study. It's true. Sometimes what we study is not what we love, it's just because our parents kinda force us (but it's for our own good) We only have to work hard and survive the college.

Now I will write down what I think based on the article..

  1. Food!! We need so much food and snacks. After a long day, you go back to dorm or apartment, the only thing keep you sane is food. Believe me, when you're exhausted, you probably too lazy to go out. That's why you need food in your room :)
  2. Fast food delivery. When you run out food, just dial for delivery. You don't have to cook, that's the best part. It's great if it's 24 hours. Right? hahahhaha..
  3. Appearance. The article is right, appearance is important in certain time. You don't have to worry about it all the time. Example, for class just look presentable and clean. You don't need dress to impress for class, thou it's different if you have crush on someone :)
  4. Keep in touch is hard. I fear that when I graduate, I won't be friend again with some of my friend in college. But I know it'll be the same as senior high to college, and junior high to senior high. You cannot be perfect all the time. It's the same as friendship, maybe you cannot be as close as before but you are still friend. Just need some work to keep the friendship but it's worth it.
  5. Internet is entertaining. In my mayor, we love internet. When we stuck in some project, some homework, you can find the solution on internet. Boys love online game too. Not all of them. ^^
  6. He/she always having fun. Maybe you are wondering, my friend is in different mayor and he/she looks like having fun all the time. He/she hang out every night. Not true guys!! Even it look like that, you probably don't know that they have a ton of homework, full schedule all week. The different is your schedule, maybe he/she have test when you have day off. It's college not senior high. You don't get the same schedule guys..
  7. Google Translate and spell-checked are awesome. True, it saves me all the time. I'm an Indonesian. My main language is not English so I truly saved by Google Translate and spell-checked too ^^

Well, I will continue the article tomorrow. I have work to do. See you guys :)

Is that a dinosaur fossil? - Google celebrates Mary Anning birthday

It's fossil!!
I just notice the rocks form "Google" without the L. hahaha..
It's cute :3
Too bad it doesn't move..

Today, Google celebrates Mary Ann birthday, she's a fossil hunter. That's why the doodle is a fossil. You probably wondering, who is Mary Ann? What makes her special?

In IBN article,
Mary Anning was a fossil-collecting woman in the 19th century whose discoveries challenged the predominant thinking of her era. She was working class and didn't start out as a scientist but she was collecting fossils to sell them to make a living and fell into this scientific discovery. 
Anning was credited with the discovery of several dinosaur specimens that helped in the early development of palaeontology. It is said that Anning spent a year extracting the dinosaur fossil from 205 million-year-old Blue Lias cliffs on the beach.
What? She is amazing!!

She's not a scientist but she discovered fossil. In Wikipedia, they said she couldn't participate in scientist community. Well, it's probably hard for a woman. In the past, they couldn't have a bright career, had to be at home. Mary Ann wasn't from a rich family. She struggle financially and she did not always receive full credit for her scientific contributions. Indeed, she wrote in a letter: "The world has used me so unkindly, I fear it has made me suspicious of everyone."

She's born in 21 May 1799 and died at age 47. The cause of death was breast cancer. It had to be hard and painful. I imagined live on 18th - 19th century and have a breast cancer without a cure. Maybe there's some medical treatment. But it probably not as advance as today.

Her work and dedication make realize, you can do everything, even you're a woman.

Another celebration by Google - Happy Birthday Dorothy Hodgkin

Google doodle to celebrates Dorothy Hodgkin's birthday
Today, Google celebrates the birthday of Dorothy Hodgkin, a British chemistry. Do you wonder who is Dorothy? If you look on Wikipedia,
Dorothy Mary Hodgkin, (12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994), was a British chemist, credited with the development of protein crystallography. She advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography, a method used to determine the three-dimensional structures of bio-molecules. Among her most influential discoveries are the confirmation of the structure of penicillin that Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abrahamhad previously surmised, and then the structure of vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was the third woman to win the prestigious Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
 When I searched more, I found this,
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1964 was awarded to Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin "for her determinations by X-ray techniques of the structures of important biochemical substances".
Every past discoveries and researches were the foundation of our life now. The science and technology grow because we constantly questioning things. Like a child, a curious child who wants to learn. And that is what Dorothy did. She said,
I became captivated by the edifices chemists had raised through experiment and imagination — but still I had a lurking question. Would it not be better if one could really 'see' whether molecules as complicated as the sterols, or strychnine were just as experiment suggested?
That's it for today. Thanks for reading this. See you  :)

What's Happy Mother's Day?

According to Wikipedia

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in spring. (e.g., April–May in the northern hemisphere, October in Argentina, but northern hemisphere spring, May, in Australia).

So we don't celebrate mothers day together in the same time. In US, they celebrate it on second Sunday in May, which is today.
Happy Mother's Day for beautiful and awesome mothers all over the world..
I don't know that today is Mother's Day, well Google has been kind and kind of remind me..
In the logo there're a woman and her children. (source: Google)
This is the search result after I clicked the logo. (source: Google)



Well, that's it for me. Just to remind you, say "I love you" to your mom, at least in Mother's Day.



The song for today, Always Love Me by Tori Kelly. (source: Youtube) This is a great song, I love the lyrics.

Note:
It seems not only Google but Yahoo also celebrate this Mother's Day even though it's Yahoo Indonesia
Watch the Yahoo logo on up-left-corner of the page. You will find this,


Cute huh.. ^^
