What it comes down too...

Hi Everyone!

Yes its been a while but I am back hopefully to posting regularly- its like that feeling when you get a journal or a "diary" for some of you girls out there that you use the diary/journal maybe for the first day...the second...maybe even the first week but after that its like eh I forgot about it. Well this time it aint-gonna-be-like-dat.

Im gonna start with this post. "What blogs you should check out."

Yeah I know you have to be a nerd if you subscribe to a blog but not necessarily. There is the brilliant invention of RSS which allows you to subscribe to blogs and read shortened-with/without images posts that are posted on the blog an example is here (this is my blog "atom" of RSS. so you can take a quick glance if you have a RSS reader- gmail has now incorporated it and google homepage as well as yahoo homepages as well have incorporated it and just see if there are new posts.

Anyway...The list of blogs

Unplggd. "Smarter Homes with Fewer Wires"

Lifehacker "Tips and downloads for getting things done"

Instructables "Make, How-To, DIY"

I passed!

My school has this system of making sure that the every student has to give a presentation of learning which as the name suggests you have to preent on what you leaned during the year. I PASSED and I will be posting regularly.

Starbucks an Icon?

My theory is that Starbucks has become a wealth or fashion icon in todays society. This is an excerpt from the website that you can access here.

"The purpose of this part of the project was to gather and write about the symbolism of Coffee, particularly Starbucks Coffee in todays society. When I say symbolism I mean that it has become a sort of "Wealth Icon" or a "Fashion Icon""

There is also that you can finish in less then a minute here.

Look-alikes

Lookalikes are flooding the market as other companies are desperately trying to catch up with the originals. For example the iPod Classic. To the left is the new Sansa Sandisk Fuze. Look famiiar? Yeah exactly. It comes in 2Gb, 4GB, and 8 GB forms sound familiar again? The only thing that is different is that this MP3 player comes in different colors like the hot red color on the left, blue, black and pink.

Beta Applications...What are they?

A beta, is essentially a test product. Their are Public and Private Beta's. Companies want to test their products, see if they work, have any flaws, work out the kinks, in a group of people. In terms of things on the computer like applications and games they are usually Public Beta's Or semi-private. When I say Public beta that means anyone can try it out. When I say Private that means that a select group of people get to do it nobody else. Sometimes companies release the beta to only a select number of people like only the first 1000 get to download it. So...some beta's that you might not know about

Short Story Anthology Cover

For the last quarter my team has been working on individual short stories. These stories range from murder mysteries to High school crisies. This is the Front cover that I with the help of my peers came up with this. We are going to be able to buy one of these by the end of spring break and it will be avialable for about ten dollars.
