Mystery Solved!


The mysterious lights over Norway have been solved. There were no aliens involved, but missiles were. The strange light was caused by a Russian sub-marine based prototype "blava" missile that had failed for the 13th time! It was considered one of russia's greatest technological breakthroughs for it had an operating range of over 5,000 miles. "Practice makes perfect", however that could be a bad thing when relating to Russian missiles.

Russian Recall


Russia has ordered to ban Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 due to that fact that it is very explicit and offending towards the Russian people. The game revolves around the conflict between Russia and the U.S. but thats not what set off the massive recall. The airport level where the main character must shoot hundreds of innocent Russian civilians in an airport is what really ticked off the Soviets. In my opinion, i don't blame them because that airport level made me feel guilty from just watching gameplay!

Jazzmutant Lemur


Your midi controller is so out of style!
Where have you been?

Get on that Jazzmutant Lemur Multi-Touch Game

Compatible with any DAW
(or any program for that matter you
could play tetris on it if you really wanted to)
basically a multi-touch screen
that is ridiculous for live performances.
Too bad the price tag is $2500.00

Holy Crap That's Insane!


Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 made history a couple days ago selling 4.7 million copies in one day! The new hit game has racked over 310 million dollars and is currently the new record holder for fastest selling video game and largest entertainment launch EVER!

Voters in the ski resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado legalized marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia by a nearly three-to-one margin on Tuesday. It is the first municipality in the United States to allow paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs and bubblers. "[The measure] passed 73 percent to 27 percent," ABC 7 News in Denver reported.This votes demonstrates that Breckenridge citizens overwhelmingly believe that adults should not be punished for making the safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol. I totally agree as well!

What is the World Coming To!


O.K. Here is the worlds most ridiculous contraption. This is the Twitter Peek. Its only purpose for the user is to go on Twitter! Its not even a phone! There is no way anyone will spend $99 plus a $8 monthly charge for internet, which you cannot use for any other website except Twitter. What a waste!

The Real Apple T.V.


Alright, Apple not only dominates the computer business, but is also trying to dominate the television industry as well. Apple is offering unlimited t.v. shows for just $30. However I don't believe that includes shows on HBO or MTV and such. I don't believe that this pitch will do well but kudos for the effort Apple.

Save as Many as We Can!




Roadside bombs have long represented the greatest killer of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, but there's hope beyond the sturdy little demolition bots that already work with their human handlers. The Pentagon now has two aerial drones on the testing docket as possible countermeasures for improvised explosive devices (IEDs)--one of which we're calling 'Helipanda' for the remainder of this post. I think you can see why. The Air Force Research Laboratory assigned their new copter the more lethal-sounding name "Yellow Jacket," and gave it special anti-IED instruments that include an "unintentional electromagnetic emissions" sensor.

Get a life!


A man in India shattered the U.S. record for longest gameplay on GTA4. 40 hours straight! I cant even imagine doing that. This guy needs to get a girlfriend or a job at least!

Hooray for all PC users


Yay! Microsoft 7 is finally on sale! I personally am a mac person so it doesn't concern me, however I do have a lot of friends who love PC. Hopefully this software will somewhat improve PC computers to the same level as macs! Yea I said it!

A New King of Horror!


Looks like the Saw saga is running out of steam. The new horror flick "Paranormal Activity" is dominating its competitors. Movies like Saw and other B rated cheesy scary movies need to step up their game.

One sequel that's better than the original


I'm really pumped for the new MacBook! It's time for me to get a new computer also! Here are some new features provided by apple.com

A mere 1.08 inches thin and even lighter at 4.7 pounds,the sleek new MacBook cuts a slim profile on any desk (or in any backpack or briefcase). It features a new seamless, more durable unibody enclosure with rounded contours that make it easy to pick up and slide into and out of your bag. Up to 7 hours per charge, up to 1000 recharges. Now take MacBook with you everywhere without worrying about plugging in or even carrying your power adapter. Its built-in lithium-polymer battery lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge, which makes it perfect for long flights, all-day workshops, and marathon study sessions. The first thing you might notice — or not notice — about the new MacBook Multi-Touch trackpad is the button. The entire trackpad is the button, so you can click anywhere on the touch-friendly glass surface. Not having a separate button also makes for a larger trackpad surface, giving your fingers more room to move, click, and gesture. A 13.3-inch glossy widescreen. The moment you open your new MacBook, its glossy LED-backlit display greets you with glorious, full-screen brightness and brings your photos, movies, and presentations alive with luminous color.

Final Cut Pro - Importing Footage

Hey so I am working on a movie project that uses the editing program Final Cut Pro. This software is full of mysteries and is very complicated. However over time you will become familiar with the program and will become a pro at editing. Remember, one cannot learn Final Cut Pro intuitively ... unless your a genius. Heres just a sample of how insane Final Cut Pro is!

Cyborg Beetles! WTF!


The government is designing new technology that brings a whole new meaning to incogneto. Cyborg beetles people! They are real beetles that have electronic wings implanted in them for total control to the operator. It's main purpose is for undercover spy work. However, maybe in time so many cyborg beetles will be produced that a giant army can be made. They would be called The Swarm! Just a thought.

Happy Birthday Muppets!


It's Jim Henson's birthday today! He was the genius who created characters such as Kurmit the Frog and Miss Piggy. I used to watch his shows as a little kid and my mom even used to work in his studio! I had a first hand experience on seeing his wonders. So here's to you Jim. Happy Birthday!

ICP Strikes Back


Alright, I'm not a huge fan of Insane Clown Posse but I do give them respect, only because they wear clown makeup which is awesome! On their new album, Bang! Boom! Pow!, there is a variety of song titles such as Imma Kill U, To Catch A Predator, I Found A Body, and Love. I anticipate that the album will do well because of preexisting ICP fans. There are even a few at my school. Props to their new album which came out on August 31, 2009, and I look forward to hearing their fresh beats!

iTunes 9, New and Improved!


Kick Ass! The iTunes on your computer can now share songs from any 5 licensed macs! Do you understand that this could eliminate pirating for good. All you have do is drag the songs you want from a friends computer and copy them into your library. Genius! Also iTunes 9 makes it retard proof when arranging your ipod/iphone apps! Another new feature is the new LP version. Basically it transforms the albums you buy into a complete package with interactive menus, pictures of the bands, history, lyrics, videos, and even album chronology. A whole new visual experience. This goes for movies as well! The best iTunes yet!

This Could Have Been The Most Epic Movie!

Unfortunately studios have shut down the He-Man movie due to insufficient funds and timing. I am disappointed and sad to hear this because as a child I used to watch He-Man everyday after school on Cartoon Network, good times. Soon He-Man, Battle Cat and Skeletor will hit the big screen and turn Eternia into hellish battlefield!

Magical Times During 9/9/09


Since today's date is considered lucky and full of superstitious discounts, so I decided to dig up as much as I could find. In result, I came across this article listing nine ways to celebrate 9/9/09. Here is an excerpt.

"In China, more than 10,000 couples were expected to register their marriages in Beijing on Wednesday and 6,000 more couples were set to tie the knot in Shanghai -- even though it's a weekday, said the Xinhua news agency.

In Malaysia, more than 500 ethnic Chinese couples married at a Buddhist temple in Kuala Lumpur.

That's because Chinese culture considers the number nine auspicious. In major Chinese dialects, the word for "nine" sounds similar to "longlasting."

Find out more at cnn.com - http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/09/09/999.date/index.html

P.S. - Excuse the blood covered picture, I do not intend to freak people out believing that 9/9/09 is the apocalypse or something.

Tough Times for Robots

Oh No! It looks like this world wide recession is not only affecting man, but humanoids too! Many robots are now being idled or returned as more manufacturers cut back on production, dealing a blow to the robotics industry. The recession has also injected a dose of reality into Japan’s humanoid robotics projects. Here, a robot washes a cup during a demonstration at Tokyo University. However, this situation can be viewed as a positive "crises". If Japan goes world wide with their development of humanoid slaves, it would be a matter of time until robots become free thinkers and rebel, eventually destroying the human race! But thats just a theory, (that brandonnapsack supports thoroughly).

This is the Future of Power Chargers!

I was surfing the web and i came across this invention that I was considering inventing myself. This is the Palm touchstone Charger! It is made by Samsung, Philips, Texas Instruments etc. What it does is wirelessly charge your electronics! Finally no more tripping over your Apple computer charger or paying $70 for a new one. I just hope that this "magnetic induction technology" doesn't cause cancer!

I already told you! THIS...IS...SPARTA!


WTF!

The media is raving about the sequel to the incredibly epic movie 300. In my opinion, I am psyched for the movie but there are minor setbacks, well actually huge ones. First being that basically everyone who mattered in the first film ... um died. The only guy left is that one eye Spartan who was the narrator of the story, except he doesn't seem fit to be the lead role. Another setback is the story. Im not sure if the writer can produce an original gory/action filled/kick ass movie script with a decent plot. Making this movie is like filming a sequel to Gladiator.
