Fortunate Сентябрь 25, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentYou probably here that word often. “He is so fortunate that the weather was good that day” But when you start using the opposite, or less fortunate. Many people around this earth are less fortunate then us. We have grown to such a big lifestyle that we loose site of the smaller things in life. We walk to school texting our friends when people used to be happy just to converse face to face. And the even weirder thing is that some people don’t notice the less fortunate people right in front of them. As though they were blind to it and didn’t evenwant to notice them. Immigrants from other countries who have nothing and their only hope is to come to school and study hard. So they do so much and are so excited to go to school. People who came here but they don’t even have a change because they have to work at 16 to make money to eat a little food. And some of us can’t see this right in front of us and we still don’t see how fortunate we. I noticed this in myself. I always see people who are less fortunate but i still act in the manner that is all stuck-up. I am going to switch my attitude about this and try to be a better person as a whole.
What are you fortunate for?
A Lil’ Humor Never Hurt Сентябрь 23, 2009

Mistakes Сентябрь 21, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentEveryone makes mistakes in life. One very good example of a mistake that is talked about a lot lately is the Kanye West situation. Many people are saying his career is over because of this one mistake.
The fact is, their is absolutely no way to live a life flawlessly with absolutely no mistakes whatsoever. People make mistakes with actions, answer in school and so on. So many people jump on these people the second the make a mistake and normally this is because they are insecure with who they are. This is common with teenagers. For example, “What is up with that shirt dude, its so stupid!”. That is using curse words and such but things like this on a daily basis can tear a person apart. I have to admit that i do that sometimes, and that is one “mistake” that i rarely make. We as humans graced with this planet need to tolerate each-others mistakes or how can we even call ourselves human. Human nature shouldn’t be to attack people for one blunder they made.
Fun Сентябрь 20, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentWhat is fun?
According to the dictionary fun is enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure. But fun truly can not be defined because fun is different for every unique individual. For me fun is hanging out with my friends and skateboarding, basically the overall standard fun day. Fun can vary from a lazy day and home or a day-packed with activities. All different types of people prefer different ways of enjoying themselves or having fun.
What would you call your ultimate day of fun?
Ahh Saturday Сентябрь 19, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a comment…now most people are relieved on Saturday because their is no school and worries are gone.
The cool thing about my saturdays, is i’ll wake up and eat breakfast. Then after that i will figure out something in the afternoon to do with friends. But up until then i do so many things. I code my “apps”, i review iphone applications, post on my blog, make orders for contrasted color, and even help people with blogging needs on aim. The funny thing is that when i pack my days, they go by faster. So you’d think that i should spread out my work more right? Wrong! Saturday is my only day to manage all this stuff. During school days I am super busy and Sunday’s are family days.
This is a brings up a bigger topic. Most people always need something going on in their lives. Something to do, somewhere to go, someone to see. And i admit I am one of them. We need to be able to sit down and actually enjoy the nothing and…the now. For many people it is very difficult. Even when people are at an event they try to plan the next one. This is very peculiar for me and its even more so that i do the same.
Do you live in the moment or not?
Starbucks vs. Coffee Bean Сентябрь 16, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a comment
As I grow up i realize that more and more people acquire the taste for coffee. I too find myself daily craving an “Iced Sweetened Coffee” or a “Coffee Frappuccino”.
My personal favorite coffee company is Starbucks but the next biggest company seems to be The Coffee Bean. So since coffee is such a huge topic lately i decided to post my thoughts on both companies.
Starbucks offers a wide variety of drinks. Many other companies offer the same, but the unique thing about Starbucks is that they let you 100% personalize your drink. Whether its “Leave Room for Creme” or “Extra Hot”. This is what is great about Starbucks. The thing i personally like about Starbucks is that the coffee can be plain with no syrup. Normally other companies make you get a frappuccino with vanilla, or java or mocha. Another reason why i like Starbucks is that the atmosphere is modern and contemporary but still is able to not feel cold and barren. It’s these combinations that draw people to Starbucks. Another cool thing about the actual Starbucks establishments are that most of them have a “Community Board” where you can advertise services you offer.
Starbucks Rating: 4.9/5
The Coffee Bean also brings its fair share to the table. The unique things about the Coffee Bean are that the whole entire establishment is made to look like it was made of the coffee boxes. It makes the Coffee Bean feel more like a coffee center and less of a coffee shop. Which can either help or hinder them, which is more a matter of opinion. The Coffee Bean’s coffee is very good and the drinks are prepared slightly quicker then Starbucks. This is good if you are on the go and you gotta grab a drink before school or work.
The Coffee Bean Rating: 4.8/5
I conclude from my own opinion that Starbucks is the superior company.
Do you like coffee, why or why not? If you do where do you get your coffee?
Internet Explorer vs Firefox Сентябрь 15, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a comment
The web browser is the ultimate portal to a vast endless amount of information. If you want to know how to deep fry a t-bone, it’s only a click away. If you’re looking for the most effective way of throwing a rock at a garbage can, you can find it. Like most other things, web browsers come in varieties. You have
Firefox
Screenshot:
Firefox Pros: Mozilla Firefox installs very quickly and does not require a computer restart. Firefox offers a sleek look combined with speed. Firefox has a huge amount of addons. Addons are much like iPod apps. You can install them and they can do different things. For instance, the “Anycolor” addon allows you to customize your browser. You can turn the basic look (above screenshot) into this.
That’s just one of the thousands of addons of Firefox. A lot of web pages were made with Firefox in mind. Images and words are very clear. Firefox is perfect for bloggers because WordPress features work much more efficiently with it. You can easily drag and drop an image from another tab into a post. Firefox also offers virus scanning on all downloads.
Firefox Cons: Firefox is so good that it’s quite hard to find anything wrong with it. Firefox has no way of editting a web page’s HTML code. This means that Firefox may not be for the more advanced user who wants to mess around with code.
Firefox review
Speed from Google to TBWB: 2 seconds.
Design: 5/5
Quality: 5/5
Internet Explorer
Screenshot:
IE Pros: IE also has a new sleek design and many options. With IE you can edit the HTML code of a website.
This often comes in handy while editting CSS. IE was definitely made for the busy soccer mom who needs hundreds of bookmarks. Although IE doesn’t offer a bookmarks toolbar as good as Firefox, bookmarks are within a click away and easy to navigate through.
IE Cons: IE is much more prone to viruses. Windows Police Pro, a rogue anti-spyware virus, is known to disguise itself as IE. Our computer was infected with this virus after installing IE, so I know from experience. IE is much slower than Firefox, and IE addons are nowhere near those of it’s. IE freezes up much more than Firefox, and having more than one tab open at a time slows it down even more.
IE Review
Speed from Google to TBWB: 7 seconds.
Design: 4.5/5
Quality: 3/5
The final verdict.
Although IE gives a sleeker look, there is no competition. Firefox is the obvious winner here. Firefox dominates in the addon department, design, speed, and quality.
So what’s your favorite browser – Firefox or IE? Or maybe you’re a Safari type of person. Eh.
Habit Сентябрь 14, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentWe choose our moods on a daily basis. But what happens when our daily minutia turns into habits. It’s our choice to choose our habits just as it is our choice to choose our moods.
Sadly, our habits are much more difficult to change then our moods. The brain is used to pattern and sequence. This is why it is difficult to break a bad habit or better a good habit. A higher percentage of people have bad habits where as good habits are more difficult to find. I have some bad habits, such as i talk to much during a conversation. I think this happens because i fully immerse myself in the conversation and just wanna tell all i know until i am at ease. And i have some good habits too. Such as, I am able to keep my room pretty clean without a being asked. All it takes is a strong opinionated mental switch to change a habit, but you have to stand by it.
What is a bad habit you could change and a good habit you could acquire?
I’m Licensed! Сентябрь 13, 2009
Posted by admin in : Новости , add a commentApple App Developer’s license that is. Yesterday, I applied for the app developers license, which enables me to create iphone or mac applications. Now this isn’t easy to get because first you need $99 for the software and license. As well as you need a sponsor.
I will receive my license and software as well. These apps will be released under my app company’s name “App Data” as many of you know. We currently have a few iphone/itouch application ideas. Of course we will release an App Data app that will allow quick access to all the features of the site. As well as some creative entertainment apps which ideas i will not disclose. And even a new twitter utility which will surely be one of a kind. Since i don’t have the software yet i am not positive all will be possible, but i will try my best to master the new complex coding language. Our apps are scheduled to be paid applications at a modest price range (0.99-1.99).
When we release our apps we will be selecting people to receive promotion codes in exchange for promotion of our site (Promotion codes are free legal app copies).
To know of these before its to late i would recommend following App Data on Twitter: http://twitter.com/appdata
I am currently downloading the guide as you can see in this desktop snapshot:
What do you think of this license and do you have any ideas?
