Hello Again!
December 6, 2008
I haven’t really been here for a while. And now, Ive decided to take ACTION. So, here’s my plan. I’ll try to update the blog weekly, with things I found interesting, be it a certain website, video, or anything else I find awesome. If my very few readers want me to, I’ll also put a score. Please though, get angry at me if a post doesn’t come that week and I have no reason for it not to. So here’s my start: FREEMAN’S MIND. I’m sure most people have heard of it, and it’s EXCELLENT. But also, and equally funny thing is Civil Protection, by the same person, Ross Scott. It’s on this page: http://civil-protection.blogspot.com/
Why Hello There!
July 10, 2008
Hello! It’s summer now! Unless you’re in the southern hemisphere. In which case it’s winter. But we don’t care about you guys down there. We’re too busy enjoying sunlight. And in case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been blogging too much this summer. Hopefully, that’ll change. No promises.
1000.
June 3, 2008
I have over 1000 hits. And now, so what. 1000 people have looked at this site. Oh boy. I think that isn’t unique hits. So I can probably safely stick that number around 500 individuals. More updates soon, I have lots of nothing to be doing.
Can we please stop ripping off ideas?
May 6, 2008
Okay, if you’re going to make it better, then go ahead. But everyone else, who just is stealing an idea, please go away. And don’t come back.
One of the most important recent inventions is renewable energy. Lots of people making it better. NOT MUCH ELSE HAS CHANGED. In consumer things, the companies add a bit more buttons, maybe upgrade a motor here and there, and sell it as a whole new thing. No innovation much anymore. Yes, we do live in the modern era, but no, this is not an excuse to stick with what works fine. Gas lighting worked fine, but do you see us still using it? No. Edison created a nice lightbulb just so we could use electricity well.
However, knockoffs are not okay. Asia, I’m looking at you. Yes, you made fuel efficient cars, and you make neat technology, but the thing is, the newest thing that you have brought the world was a really long time ago. It’s like a certain saying: “If it ain’t broke, make it better.” Some of you may think that saying was different. Not anymore. Yes, improving on an idea is great. But as humans must do every once in a while, change in ideas is better. If we didn’t have as many people thinking that they could get a free ride by taking someone else’s idea and adding a doohickey, we would be on Mars. Right now. And I would live there with my flying car. Who is sentient. But no! Too many people think that improving is good enough. No, innovating is good enough. Totally reworking physics to suit the human race’s needs is great.
But seriously, if you think that you can get a free ride, you’ve come to the wrong place. With global warming and depletion of natural resources, we need new ideas fast. Start thinking. (Better dishwashwer? Better solar panel? Better home insulator?)
Internet: ROUND TWO!
May 1, 2008
Fight! No, I won’t make you and the internet fight. It would murder you. Have you seen some of this stuff? Anyway, since my first post about the internet went over well, and people didn’t get really mad at me… I’ve decided to bring it back for round two. Why stop at just making the internet a state? It could be a country! You could even have wars there! WITH NO CASUALTIES! It would be better that way, and then we would also have different game modes to play on! Tired of team deathmatch? Team CTF! Yay for all. However, there are certain things on the internet that would have to be banned. I think you can figure out what I mean. And they would have to establish a government for the People’s Republic of the Internet. So, I recommend a monarchy. I’ll be monarch, if that’s okay with you peons. Just kidding. People can do anything they want on the internet, so a democracy it shall be. And their would need to be some form of building for the leader. May I recommend we put a second home type icon in all web browsers? Click on it, poof. Instantly go to the place of the leader. And for prisons? Make everyone login after opening their internet browser, and if they have been doing something bad, stick them in lockdown. Just a blank page, saying “You are in InterPrison.” Where would this republic be, though? We already have the Internet state in the Bermuda Triangle, so I recommend Antarctica. No one lives there anyway, and this way, we wouldn’t have to worry about servers overheating! And for anything else we need, there’s coders out there. We can hire them! Don’t worry, they will be the best citizens of the Internet, so they’ll do it as community service. So, ready to form this Republic. I am too. Who wants to help!
For your knowledge, I’ve been having trouble thinking of good topics to do things like these on. If you’d like me to do one on something, then send that idea to me, however you feel like.
MUSIC! Fact or Fiction?
April 30, 2008
Duh. It’s fact! Anyone who doesn’t get that is an idiot. Seriously. Music exists. For all of you non-musical people, a brief history of music.
Music has been around for a really, REALLY long time. You know how old that really old guy down the street is? Longer than that. Heck, it’s older than that big tree over there. It’s been around since humans came around. The first caveman probably was all like “ugga ugg!” in a tune and decided he liked it. However, the first written music only came around in about the 1000s. From there, we’ve been through many ages of music and styles, and they’ve all been pretty good. Besides a few of them…
Brief history over. So. As you probably can’t tell, music has been around for as long, or longer than the human race. (seriously. BIRDS!) Anyway, music kicks some serious ass. Except glorified rhythm. I call rap glorified rhythm. It may be interesting, but all it is is a person, saying how they 1)beat up/killed/hate someone 2)had sex with someone or 3)got drunk/high/stoned out of their mind. (don’t laugh yet rock and roll, you’re better, but same concept.) Essentially, rap is people talking about these things, with a background of heavy bass. Rock and roll at least has melodies and something other than a rhythm! What music should be is something that contains at least three of the following. Rhythm, Melody, Countermelody, lyrics. Rap has two. Can we just call it a rhythm with words now? PLEASE??? Can we stop throwing our money at these people? If not, WHY!
BLOG REVIEW: Camsworld
April 30, 2008
For your knowledge, all future posts are intended to be satirical in nature. The reviews, however, are not. If you dislike them, you may think of them as satirical.
This above blog is very good. It’s done by a friend of mine, and he manages to be slightly funny with it, while delivering news of important things happening in the world. Also, his grammar is excellent, to my limited knowledge of grammar. His news isn’t really something to be used in the world as a guide for anything, (for that I recommend The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. All of them.) instead to be used as just a source for cool information. Every source he uses can also be checked out to be very reliable, unless suddenly NPR and other news things suddenly start making everything up. So just so all of you realize, this blog is now good for satire, and that blog is now good for neat news topics. Link to it : http://camsworld.wordpress.com/ In all, with my new restaurant rating system: Three stars (out of three). The steak is quite excellent, as is the lobster, and both come served garnished with parsley sprigs.
Suit.
April 28, 2008
Now look at suit in a paragraph. With suit there lots of times. Not suit suit suit, but something actually relevant. Now tell me that it doesn’t start to look really odd after a bit. Do the same with a letter. Any letter, but just stare at it a bit. So, the English language, to anyone else, if they had no idea what it was, would see it’s a language because of the repetition of symbols, but they, with no prior experience, could not glean ANY information out of it. Seriously. About four of our letters are lines. Some of them are circles. In other words, English makes no sense. The general thought of the creators was, as far as I understand, “Let’s take a bunch of words that work nicely in other languages, and stick em all together!”. It doesn’t work well. We all think, “Hey, it’s fine. I get it.” But seriously, look at it for a bit. if you know no Chinese, and you try to read it, that’s what everyone else thinks of the English language. It may be the standard for communication, but it makes NO sense. Early humans had it right with pictographs. So if you don’t what it is, with pictographs, you say, “Oh! It’s a BOAT!”, and with English you say “What the…” and look it up in a dictionary. That is time-consuming, and inefficient. Efficiency is important. Without it, we’d be sitting in the Stone Age saying “Eh. I’ll get to it later.” Which is sort of like procrastination. But this isn’t that. Why? Because procrastination hasn’t been invented yet. They haven’t gotten around to it.Either way, that’s something for another post. Hopefully, we’ll all just learn a good language that doesn’t have ten words meaning the same thing in the future. (Seriously. Look through the dictionary. China gets by with a couple ten thousands. We have over a million words.)
GAME REVIEW: Kirby 64
April 24, 2008
A kickass game, that’s for sure. While it is easy, and has not much of a difficulty curve, it’s very fun. It’s graphics, 2000’s eye candy, are nice, even by today’s standards, (fine. on handhelds.), and it’s replayability is very high, just to get all the crystal shards. And you know, some of Kirby’s other adventures, namely Nightmare in Dreamland and Squeak Squad may have better gameplay mechanics, you simply can’t beat the combination powers of Kirby 64. (my favorites: lightsaber, curling stone, and exploding ninja stars). With few powers, about 7 or 8 (too lazy to check which) it doesn’t seem like you can get much variety, but the combination makes it so you can have a heck of a lot more. And for all of you who take the time to get all of the shards, you get a treat with possibly the most fun boss of ALL TIME. My score: 9.5/10
It’s a FINER line, people.
April 16, 2008
In the previous post, I have said things that are being taken the wrong way. I think that Nintendo is great. I think this of Nintendo. http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/184/its_a_wonderful_game
It’s excellent. But, my personal opinion is that Wii gaming is innovative, and not purist. It is the Protestant (more popular now) to the 360’s Catholic (less popular now). However, some rabid Nintendo fans will still manage to take my words wrong, so let me say this: IT’S AN OPINION. Also, STOP commenting on this! IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHERE I SAID THE WII WAS INFERIOR, THEN SHOW ME. I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT. Nor have I ever said playing FPSs makes you a purist. I simply named games that I had been playing at the time.
