Posted in General, Tech Corner by Paul Jacob on November 22nd, 2006

The make blog has an interesting post regarding a visual guide made with Comic Life, which is a comic book creationlocksport software for the mac.Lock picking has produced a large amount of enthusiasts,who come together and share their knowlege of Lock Picking.It is described as being a fun/challenging hobby and some even go to the degree of claiming it as a sport.

This comic verson is simply a brief introduction to the art of lock picking by Locksport International.It shows a visual step by step guide into picking locks.The comic is catagorized into chapters from introduction to locks,various picking methods,necessary tools and even a membership application to join Locksport International.

In my view,Lock picking would be fun to do,but not to the degree of my complete devotion.However,I wouldn’t mind picking couple of locks for fun.

Free Hugs - Juan Mann Interview

Posted in General by Paul Jacob on October 7th, 2006

What a thoughtful idea. I mean there is a lot of darkness in this world, and today more than ever I believe we are travelling through uncertain times. I have a lot of respect for Juan Mann who started all this out of pure human kindness. We need more people like him. We live in such a busy world and sometimes we forget how simple things like a Hug can brighten up someones day. All you need is hugsssssss and more hugsssssss……..


All you need is Hugsssss…….

Life is constantly changing and the people that we see today may not be here tomorrow so all the people out there show some love towards each other. Life is short and all these petty things people brag about has no meanings. Show some compassion towards each other. Life is bigger than us.
