dynasty of lao

Enjoying L.A. and Dim Some...

The Dynasty of Lao concept came about as a way to share information on interesting people, places and things that might not actually be right in your own back yard. About 10% of this content will be personal musings, and the rest is a grab bag with features sometimes pertaining to the most interesting and coolest city on earth, Los Angeles, as well as what's going on in the world. The site is meant to be eclectic, broadening, nostalgic and maybe a learning experience, but most of all, fun. Pop culture, current events, etc. I hope you enjoy your stay and come back as often as you can.

"Someone had said, and Wilhelm agreed with the saying, that in Los Angeles all the loose objects in the country were collected, as if America had been tilted and everything that wasn't tightly screwed down had slid into Southern California."

ABUCUS iPHONE

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 08:46AM

In Japan, it's not uncommon for someone to still do math on their abacus. I even had to take an abacus class during summer school as a kid—and I didn't even go to a Japanese school. In a way, it makes a lot more sense than a digital calculator. Anyway, some clever developer created this abacus app for the iPhone. You use the touchscreen to move the balls up and down to do your calculations, and i has a motion sensor so that you can shake the phone to clear it. You can see a video of it in action here.
