Don’t Kill Creativity

I truthfully could not tell you how in the world this video ended up on my computer. As a matter of fact, somehow it managed to replace all of my old podcasts, like CNN’s daily news and whanot. Somehow, all of them disappeared, and this video (from over two years ago) appeared out of nowhere. [...]

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: Wow/100

I love old movies. I figured I’d say that. I suppose that it’s just something about the fact that they uphold good ideals and yet, at the same time, were ranked well for their time. As a matter of fact, after we, as a family, finished this film, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, reviewed the [...]

Yes Man – 87/100

I figured that I should write my own little review of a movie that I saw today. It was, overall, quite an entertaining movie. I was kept laughing through the majority of the film, and though that’s not the most difficult thing to make me do, it always makes a movie more entertaining.
Aside from a [...]

My Level of Green

I thought that you’d all like to know, pretty randomly, that I scored 55 (above average for the United States) on National Geographic’s Greendex test. I’m pretty proud of it, because being ‘green’ is trendy nowadays. I mean, everybody wants to be green, right?
Anyway, I thought that it was pretty interesting, and I wanted to [...]

Google’s Hidden Treasures

I know that I’m not the only one that greatly admires Google. Since I first discovered Google in the eighth grade while studying for a paper in my Social Studies class, I haven’t looked back. I haven’t once turned to another search engine. As a matter of fact, on several occasions, I have been heard [...]

Life – Through New Eyes

Well, I suppose that cameras really don’t have eyes. But lenses and light sensors and whatnot are kind of close to eyes, right? In a technological sense?
Anyway, last week I made a somewhat sudden (though also somewhat premeditated) decision to purchase a DSLR camera. I had been looking at them for the last little while, [...]

Lymabean – The Glory

So, a little while ago I joined this lovely site, called Lymabean. It’s “social networking that doesn’t suck.” Well, okay, that’s their theme. No, really, it is pretty dang cool. I mean, it’s kind of like Facebook on steroids. The only thing is that there aren’t that many people on! So, that’s really pretty depressing. [...]

Shhhh… I’m Hunting Wabbits!

I had to write a bit about a lovely trip that I took last weekend with one of my good friends. We went down to his ranch in central Utah and used his collection of guns to shoot at stuff, including clay pidgeons, targets, and an occasional rabbit.
Anyway, I thought that I’d say that it [...]
