HTML5 Canvas Performance Cross-Browser Comparisons

By Chongchen Saelee

Rendering 32×32 bitmapped image with 2D to real 3D to 2D projection tranformation to fit 320×240 (100%) HTML5 canvas with translation, scaling, and other composited images:

  • Chrome v.31x = 62fps
  • Firefox v.26 = 60fps
  • IE v.9.0.8x = 45fps

BUT, when using browser’s built-in zoom to 200% (640×480):

  • Chrome v.31x = 60fps
  • Firefox v.26 = 15fps
  • IE v.9.0.8x = 45fps

So obviously, Chrome is champ when it comes to utilizing your hardware acceleration techniques. Firefox, however, failed in the zoomability corner. What a shame.

Pen Tonic Comics: Agent S – Dec. 24, 2013

Might use GIMP exclusively to draw comics now. Tried to use some existing brushes off the Internet but Photoshop just can’t get the comic book ink look down. Pen Tonic Comics might return. Heck, I might as well finally sit down and finish Agent S.

Solution: HPMediaSmart DVD on HP Laptops stop playing Blu-ray discs

Solution: HPMediaSmart DVD on HP Laptops stop playing Blu-ray discs

See, after 2012, 20th Century Fox slapped a bunch of their newly authored Blu-rays with BD+ and some other fancy DRM (digital rights management) techniques. So in order for you to play their content, you need to use their authorized firmware aka Blu-ray software players.

Unfortunately, if you’re an owner of an older Hewlett-Packard laptop who is stuck using their built-in media player software such as HPMediaSmart DVD, and you don’t have software upgrade or update support anymore, then you might be SOL or forced to buy a new commercial Blu-ray software that will play newer titles (Who has USD$100 lying around these days, especially to watch Blu-rays that have been collecting dust on our shelves for more than half a decade?).

HP, however, provided HP laptop owners with a FREE STANDARD VERSION of PowerDVD 10. The file is ~150 MB. more »

The Truth About Sriracha

The Truth About Sriracha
By Chongchen Saelee

If you’ve grown up in America in even the most semi of Asian culture, you might be familiar with Huy Fong Foods brand of sriracha, otherwise now synonymously known as “Sriracha” with a capital S in ‘murica. Much like how Americans only fell in love with Chinese wire-fu with Ang Lee’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, there seems to be a late to the train game going on. But mostly, this chili sauce is catching on because it has become known as the hipster ketchup. And ketchup has a stigma for being cheap and junk food (sugar, vinegar, and red dye, no tomatoes whatsoever). These modern hipsters are putting it on EVERYTHING. But real Asians were just using it in pho. more »
