TCB # 33

Hello, readers. Here's TCB # 33, delivered with a smile. :)

1. Word 
gloat, verb (glow-t)
Definition: dwell on one‘s own success or another’s misfortune with smugness or malignant pleasure

Synonyms: rub in
Antonym: commiserate, sympathize, empathize

2. Trivia
Cows drink 157 litres of water a day—the equivalent of a bathtub full of water!
 
3. Link 
Lifehacker had recently done a step-by-step course on digital recreational painting. I haven't seen all the tutorials, but that's definitely an intention. Enthusiasts should definitely check out http://lifehacker.com/#!5781134/digital-painting-101-the-complete-guide.

4. List
Dug from the archives of the Time magazine. The Top 25 Soundtracks of all time (not my opinion :P): http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,2053048,00.html
 
5. App
Tex2Img: I love the simplicity that this tool offers. It's a free equation editor that converts latex equations into images so you can easily insert them into your document. Perfect for technical papers and presentations.

6. Quotation
"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you."
