Cellphone Novels

That is just amazing that people could write literature of this level using just cell phones now. That must hurt the thumbs for a while haha. I just wonder now, how long it takes them to write these things, and where do they find the time. Must take them weeks just to get the rough copy down. I wonder what'll be next, magnificent works of art on the cell phones or maybe creating/sampling/mixing music on cellphones.

Yahoo

I believe the future plan for Yahoo is to make it a stronger communication system. The future of Yahoo will be able to give higher priority to messages between people that closely related. The future of Yahoo also will be able to do other things such as help organize dinner for a group of people or maybe help organize other events. I think it's a pretty good idea, but I think it will only be popular with adults more than kids and teens and probably won't be really successful. Nowadays, almost everybody uses facebook, from kids to adults, and it has become a really powerful major online organization. Personally, I think it won't be as successful as Facebook.

Facebook has all these different add-ons that make it fun to explore around facebook, as well as the whole email thing. Being that Yahoo probably doesn't have or intend to include such small add-ons might not attract those of the younger audience and make Yahoo seem just another regular boring email place. Also, compared to Microsoft and Google, Yahoo will probably gain little from this advancement. Microsoft makes a whole lot of things from internet things to video games to computers and more. Nowing how most people are in modern times, with video gaming being one of the major things going on, they'll still have a lot of success for the near future to come. Also, almost everybody uses google for searching on the web so Yahoo will probably won't be as or more successful than Google. The idea sounds great and all but it just might not be that successful.

Place for Creativity response

It's odd the places which inspire me for things. Most places that do inspire me, do so in a musical way such as giving me new ideas for a song or for a theme or even to try to change my tone. Most of these places are eerie places such as cemetaries, or in the woods at night. I also get inspiration believe or not from places such as churches or any sacred place like that. Another thing that really helps with the creative flow would be my latest guitar, a Dean ML. Just looking at it makes me want to just get up and start jammin' along to something or try to create something, whether it be a song, or a riff or lick or just some random improv.

Frustration to Learning...

As I read this post, several "ahah" moments of just practicing guitar popped up into my mind. Most of them were just moments were I found out how to do a certain guitar technique or how to change the tone on my amp to get a sound similar to what I was, or still am, searching for. I remember playing my guitar one day wondering, how can I get a bit more grittier sound to the sound I have now? The answer was so simple to come to, but of course it took me some time to figure it out. All I had to do was use my ears to carefully listen to my current sound and modify it from there. It was much easier to find out the sound closest to what I was looking for there. Some of those moments can really open up doors to other things in some situations.

The HTML Screencast

I thought that html screencast was pretty handy for people. It could either serve as a reminder to the basic steps of html design or teach someone who doesn't even know what html is. Even though it covers the basics, I thought it could've been a bit more detailed as in what some of the commands mean such as <p>. I also found it helpful on how they give you multiple ways of doing things such as bolding or italicizing words with the commands <strong> and <em> (I believe that's the right one). Overall that is a very useful video for all.

Laura and her 25 days of making a difference.

Here is a pic of Laura trying to make a difference by shoveling a walkway by the street. I hope that little girl enspires some other people on this Earth to try to make this a better place for all. It's a shame that a little girl is nicer than most other people in this world. Her sister helps her also, which is wonderful for how young they are. To see or get more info on what's going on with them, check out their site, http://twentyfivedays.wordpress.com/ . It's a shame though that she lost her grandfather to brain cancer, even though that was what gave her the inspiration to go out on her 25 days of making a difference. Hopefully, her doings will actually have an impact on other people throughout this world. Right now, I'm trying to help out by babysitting every now and then.

Is Evan truely missing?

At first, when I read the email regarding that Evan Trembley was missing, I honestly did feel sorrow at first for the family. Missing a person, especially a loved one, is a terrible feeling. The email did seem a bit suspicious at first being that it was missing some more basic information and that a certain part was put in quotes while the rest of it wasn't. It wasn't until searching on google about this guy that the truth was revealed.
On snopes.com, they had this same email posted there, but they supplied info that showed it was fake. An example, the Police officer's information. There was no officer named Rick Williams at that police station and the proper name for it was 610 Holiday or something like that. I personally think that was a dumb thing to do on the prankster's side looking at all the comotion that was started from that email and how much people are actually responding to it. I now feel a bit dumb on my part for not noticing some of the signs quickly on the email and a bit of sorrow for Evan himself for getting himself into this giant affair.
