Have you ever played “bomberman”? Yesterday I found that some guys made the classic even better. Just go to bombermine.com and you will be able to play the game in a huge scenario against hundreds of other people in a massive multi-player game.

I already reshared this post on Google+ but i think the video is just too awesome to not publish here in the blog too. So here it is, a twenty minute tour of the International Space Station:
This year’s project
Another year and another codebits edition has come and gone. This time i had to enter the 48h programming competition.

Here i go again
Just take a look on what arrived to my mail box yesterday morning: Like last year (and a little bit sooner this year) i had the privilege of being accepted for the biggest technology event here in Portugal.

This week they shared some of their new songs with everyone through “Bittorrent” and gave […]
Almost 9 zeros
Take a picture, add some pre-made effects and share. Now just wait for people to leave comments on your “work”. These were the steps that i made till i reach this photo: The biggest tech news in the last few days was around this simple process and the application that is behind it. It’s called […]
