World Cup Fun Facts

In light of the South African World Cup 2010 that is going on, I did some research on previous World Cups and their histories… and found some interesting pieces of history!
Barefoot Bengals
In 1950, India had qualified for the World Cup by default due to withdrawal of all of their scheduled opponents. However the governing body, AIFF, decided against going to the World Cup in 1950. And there are two different stories on why this decision was made:

The Indian national team always played barefoot, but the FIFA regulations required that all …

North Korea vs Brazil World Cup 2010 Recap

North Korea is ranked #105 and Brazil is currently ranked #1 in the FIFA world rankings. Most people expected a complete wash-out of North Korea, and it was a matter of how many goals Brazil will put through to this very inexperienced side. I, as a South Korean, expected something close to a 5-0 defeat for North Korea. After all, in 1998, against the experienced Dutch team, South Korea fell 5-0 in a miserable defeat, and this North Korean squad has even less experience in the World Cup stage against …

Redefining Fundamentalism

Define Fundamentalism:
Fundamentalism refers to a belief in a strict adherence to a set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life.
Generally we, the modern & open minded population will consider Fundamentalism to be an ignorant concept, as it has strong ties with Fundamentalist Christians who believe, literally, that the Earth is 10,000 years old and Dinosaurs and Humans lived in the same era, and that Israel was put back in place by God’s will rather than by …

We recently migrated some of our websites to a new VPS with Inmotion hosting. After the migration, everything went smooth (pretty much.. but as smooth as a server transfer can be), except one issue – all the timthumb.php scripts were not working well in WordPress, which meant that blog thumbnails were not generating.
So for example, the following URL returned a 404 error, and defaulted to WordPress’ 404 page:
http://www.sonikastudios.com/wp-content/themes/sonikas/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/DSC01426-600×337.jpg&w=100&h=100&zc=1&q=100
This happened on this very blog (www.jeffkee.com) as well. So then I went to check other things out, and found out that other …

Critical Mass = Ignorant Mass

The Critical Mass has a noble goal of making our cities more bicycle friendly, with more bike lanes, and better safety for bikes, as well as courteous sharing of the roads between motorists and bikers. However it seems that the original purpose has been tainted by the moronic, selfish, unpractical, and pathetic mob-like method of execution. Here I will discuss very candidly, and offensively, why, as a proud car-driving yuppie, (who also likes to ride the bike) think the Critical Mass is an unintelligent mass protest that has to stop for the good of everybody.

I recently experienced the agony that drivers go through when attempting to drive through downtown in the early evening on the last Friday of each month. I have had conversations with two absolutely idiotic supporters of the Critical Mass (their responses were unintelligent, illogical, and that of a passive left-wing union mongers who tend to spend their lives complaining against the system for their lack of well-being), and I have gathered my thoughts on it.

Business Strategies »

[11 May 2009 | 2 Comments | 106 views]

As a web developer who constantly deals with domains and emails being transferred, I’d like to set a standard guideline on how one should manage their domains and email in order to maintain autonomy and control over your own material, while eliminating the chances of losing domains through silly administrative mishaps.

ALWAYS keep a public email with hotmail, gmail, yahoo etc., and check it regularly.
Occasionally you may drop a domain name altogether, or stop working for a company, or cut partnership with a company. That means, your old email at john@oldcompany.com …

Politics »

[22 Jan 2009 | No Comment | 39 views]

I was watching the CBC News today (one of my daily rituals) and I realized something very important about how Canadian politicians and strategists use references to the President of the United States of America.
Years ago when the war in Iraq began under the whole propaganda of “War on Terrorists”, most Canadadians viewed the politics of the redneck President, George Bush, as less than favourable. In fact, the huge opposition towards Bush’s policies made a change in how Canadian political battles and debates were fought. Stephen Harper and the Conservative …
