Internet’s 40th anniversary, a brief history

September 3, 2009 by Yein Jee

“On September 2nd 1969, in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, two computers passed test data through a 15-foot gray cable.” [more on NatGeo]

It’s a disputable date of birth, depending on how we interpret the term internet. One thing for sure, the internet has come a long way to become what it is today. Sharing an enlightening video, a brief history of the internet…

As convenient as it is, I always wonder if our lives would be a bit more interesting without internet… it took away some excitement of learning and discovery, as information becomes a bit too accessible imo, almost effortless.

The Loch Ness Monster

June 13, 2007 by Yein Jee

The Loch Ness Monster is one of the most famous mysteries in the world, at least it used to be. Nicknamed Nessie, it’s a creature that’s said to be inhabiting in Loch Ness, a large and deep freshwater lake in Scottish Highland.

The Surgeon Photo of Loch Ness MonsterThe first recorded sighting of Nessie dates back to 565AD… but the whole monster-fever probably started in 1934 when the infamous Surgeon’s Photo (pic) was published and shocked the world.

[The photo was however discovered to be a hoax in 1993, more details at the end of this article]

Since then, numerous sightings were reported, some with pics or videos but none of the images could clearly prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.

Some of the “evidences” were proven hoax, while some others might be genuine but inconclusive. Critics believe that lots of those genuine images were actually objects like flock of water-birds, wood logs, boats and natural phenomena etc.
