Day before the end of the world
Today is December 20th 2012 the day before the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar.
beaded geckos and the mind
The mind is the most amazing part of the human body as far as I am concerned. It amazes me that you can recall something just based on the sound or smell of something. In early elementary school I used to make beaded geckos and other beaded animals. I completed school approximately 4 to 5 years ago now and I never made a beaded animal since elementary school. I was spending some time with a friend of mine and we wanted to do something fun and something we haven’t done before.
Glowing Mountain Dew
Recently my friend and I decided to try making glow in the dark Mountain Dew based on a picture that has been circulating the Internet. I believe the picture originated from a YouTube video. Based on seeing the picture I needed to try this out right away. My friend and I headed off to the local supermarket to get the supplies we needed. This shopping trip consisted of us buying a six pack of bottled Mountain Dew, one box of Baking Soda, and 1 bottle of peroxide among other random things we bought that have nothing to do with this experiment.
Time Travel
Well daylight savings time has just ended here, many of you are likely sleeping and enjoying an extra hour of sleep. If you are sleeping you’re missing out on being able to time travel back an hour. I just got to experience time travel. Why should you care? Well because time just went back an hour means you can redo things that you did an hour ago and improve upon them, liquor stores and/or bars are open an extra hour (depending on management).
If you missed time traveling this year don’t worry, next year when you will be able to time travel forward one hour and later on in the year you will be able to time travel back one hour.
Happy Time Traveling!

Zombies, Run!
The Game: Zombies, Run!
Genre: Immersive action-adventure
Developer: Six to Start
Platform: Android (also available on iOS and Windows Phone)
Zombies, Run! is an audio adventure running game where you run, walk, or jog your way to victory in the real world. You can even do this to your own soundtrack by selecting music on your device. As you wander around your day to day tasks in the real world, you pick up items that range from bandages to boxes of light bulbs. Using these supplies you’ve picked up you get to strategically reinforce your home base. Part strategy, the game lets you choose how to upgrade your base, and manage who gets those useful supplies. Activating the zombie chase mode adds even more entertainment as you have to break out into a sprint (or increase your current walking speed by 20%) to escape the zombies chasing you. The looks you will get while at the mall, suddenly sprinting down the corridor, running away from pretend zombies is alone worth the entire game.
Online Passwords
Recently some major password database leaks have been making headlines all over the internet.
Last.fm the social music website, LinkedIn a professional social networking website, and eHarmony a well known dating website have all been victims of a recent cyber-crime spree of database break-ins. LinkedIn in particular is reporting that more than 8 million passwords may have been compromised.

iTunes
iTunes should work more like Wikipedia and allow me to tag artists in songs so I can see all songs by that one artist including songs they might be featured in.
I would love an MP3 player/media player that could do that.
Smartphones
This is my rant about the smartphones and iPhones.
Ok so they put a better processor in the iPhone 4S. Added some fancy voice recognition stuff. Added 64gb size. And made the camera 1080p and 8 mega pixels. Increased talk time on 3G. Decreased wifi data usage. Made it heavier but made it smaller.
There is nothing truly revolutionary with the iPhone 4S. Next will be the iPhone 5 after that they will release the iPhone 5S. And it will repeat. But at each number increment they will add some fancy feature many of which will may be deemed not needed. Example FaceTime that was a great feature but honestly how often do people use it? I’ve only used it like 5 time. Don’t get me wrong the phones will get faster processors to handle the new feature but it seems we have reached the limit for now. Anything else added maybe unnecessary.
The windows phone has some feature catching up to do but they will catch up. Android and iPhone I believe have reached the point of optimum features. Nothing else is really needed in a phone.
I believe phone technology has reached a point where smartphones have everything they need. Phones have been revolutionized but I believe that revolution is over.
It’s time for a new revolution in something else. Phones are good now. They do everything anyone has ever imagined and even more.
