I-Odysee!

I don’t get it, I really don’t. Everyone seems to be concerned about illicit drugs and how they make this world a terrible place… but there are many kinds of pharmaceutics which can also be quite harmful, and nobody seems to much worry about them. And don’t take me wrong, I don’t meant to advocate the use of drugs of any kind; it’s just that I think it’s somewhat ironic that some dugs seem to have a worst reputation than others. I was just checking out the 1800 bad drug website, and I was amazed to find out many popular legal drugs in there… definitely worth checking out for a eye-opening experience.

Since I’m bringing up the whole drug issue, I might as well express my own perspective on the subject matter. You see, as far as I can see there are many widespread legal drugs which aren’t regarded as such, but they should. The most notable example is alcohol, of course; millions of people lose their life to alcoholism, and still not many people thing of it as a drug. How ironic is that? In my opinion, any substance that is prone to addictiveness should be regarded as a drug and people should be taught not to abuse them… even something as apparently harmless as sugar should fit the bill, as far as I can see. Do you think this is an extreme opinion? I’d certainly like to know your opinion, so go ahead and submit a comment.

Hello everyone; today I’m here to tell you about something great, and something awful. Let’s start with the good thing: casino parties; I’ve been to one of these for the first time and I really enjoyed myself! Now for the bad thing: I really suck at gambling. I mean really, I’m probably the worst card player on the surface of the earth. I still enjoyed myself in that party, however… a lot!

In case you’re wondering, I have just returned from a casino party in San Antonio, and as you’ve provably noticed, I had a blast! Even regardless of my ineptitude. It’s a good thing I wasn’t playing for cash, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have had money to come back home. Well, but I better not dwell in such technicalities, I’m the kind of fellow who much prefers focusing on the bright side.

And the bright side of this party were the people! I got to know several amazing women, I fell in love several times over in just a few hours, honest. I also met a bunch of cool guys who were kind enough not to make too much fun of me, once they realized just how bad a card player I am. You may think I’m exaggerating, but I really think I have a gift for being the worst card player ever. Which in a way might be a good thing actually… knowing I’m so bad, I don’t have the least inclination towards gambling. Oh well, you can’t have luck both on cards and love, isn’t that how the saying goes?

Ahh… the wonders of technology. I never ceased to be amazed, you know? And my mind just seems to keep coming up with ingenious and creative applications of the latest gadgets; I guess I feel right at home in the XXI century. Well, recently I’ve been having fun with hidden spy cameras, in case you’re wondering exactly what I’m talking about. And so just so we make it clear… I’m not using these cool toys to meddle on the life of strangers. I’m just using them to meddle in the life of my friends, which is a completely different story. Rather than invading their privacy, I like to think of it as I’m just pulling some pranks and playing spy games.

Actually, I better not get into details, since some of my buddies who have recently been promoted to victims in my spying affairs might happen to visit my blog. Anyway, you should know these tiny wireless video capture device can have as many applications as your imagination allows; that’s why they’re dubbed as both Security and spy camera… you don’t have to use them to spy on other people, you can also use them as security cameras. And some of those gadgets are pretty cool, I might add… I think even James Bond would be envious.

Just check out the website to see all the available models, you’ll likely be surprise. They’re making spy cameras in the guise of innocent household items these days, so you might want to keep up with that, otherwise you never know… maybe one of your friends is already trying to prank you! Ah, just as long as it’s in the name of good fun… right?

It’s funny how people change their mind so fast, sometimes. Just a year ago I was completely opposed to the website twitter, and I felt it was a lame fad that would go by in no-time… and it wouldn’t be too soon. To think that I would say something like that such a short while ago, and now here I am, one of the biggest twitter geeks this side of the solar systems. There’s really something magical about the 140-character limit, and even though I can’t really put my finger on what it is, I should say I’m completely absorbed in the world of micro-blogging.

With that said, you may be interested to know about some cool twitter apps, in case you’re also a fellow twitterer. If that’s so, consider checking out this interesting set of twitter apps, which includes a twitter follow tool. That’s right, and if you don’t know what a twitter follow tool is, well… suffice to say it will be one the most powerful tools in your arsenal, if you enjoy the prospect of reaching vast audiences and express your world-views to like-minded and not-so-like-minded individuals. So there you go, have fun twittering, and feel free to look me up if you want to be friends with a power user! Now let’s go ahead and have some fun, shall we?

Some of life’s finest enjoyments are sometimes regarded by some as guilty pleasures. Myself, I don’t really have a problem with taking the occasional walk on the dark side of life, so whatever. Today, I felt like doing something rogue-ish, so you know what I did? I went to online casino bluebook and spent a good couple of hours playing baccarat (where I actually tripled my money) and then I hit the slots (where I fortunately managed to come to my senses and stop by the time I realized I had just broke even and spent the money I’d earned before.

And you know what? I had a really good time. And I don’t feel like coming back tomorrow and wagering my month’s salary, or anything like that. The point being, I really don’t understand why so many people thing of online games of chance as a terrible and devastating plague of the XXI century. Granted, some people lose all they have in these games… but let’s face it; some people just seem to go around looking for an excuse to live in drama. If such people didn’t become gamblers, they would probably become drug addicts or politicians. To each his own, I say… and may we be wise enough to judge actions by their consequences, rather than their premises.

Lol, it’s amazing how much we take for granted. Being the technical type (I’ve always enjoyed using computers ever since I was a teenager), I’m quite familiar with the ins and outs of computer hardware and software. I know how to repair my computer, and I certainly know how to keep it snappier… and when it gets to that, I have no problem whatsoever backing up my data and formatting my hard drive in a jiffy. In fact, I’m so used to doing that kind of thing, that sometimes I don’t remember that doing such a thing can be a terrible and elusive process, to novice users. Fortunately, there are always alternatives novice users can use when their computer is running slow.

Well, to make a long story short… I was just talking with a friend of mine on skype, and we was truly going berserk over how sluggish his computer was, despite of the fact it was only two years old. He was worried he might have to buy a new computer already, but then I just told him that his computer will go back to normal if he reinstalled the operating system, which was merely cluttered up after two years. Needless to day, he had no idea how to do such a thing, and he just kept repeating “my computer is running slow” over and over, like some sort of madman!

I was literally laughing out loud watching this little drama, until I realized how elusive the whole concept of formatting a hard drive might seem to a novice user. Fortunately, another simple answer occurred to me: a registry cleaner! That might just do the trick. So I told him to download the trial version of Registry Easy, and less than half an hour later he was video-calling on Skype. He almost tears in eyes and he just kept saying “thankyou, thankyou… you really saved me from growing a premature ulcer”. Well, what do you know? I feel good about having helped him, so I figured I might as well write this post to inspire people having similar problems. If your computer is running slow, just try this software!

In the ticker making business, Bell and Ross brand is relatively a newcomer that began in the yr 1992, with the sole aim of catering to professionals like astronauts, pilots, army men, who cultivate under very demanding and extreme conditions. However, after the launch in the market it became a dream of every one.

These watches are cherished the world over for their unique style, square shaped casing, rugged yet having so bewitching look. They became the firm base of high quality watches, with high precision, durability, robustness, resistant to water and an impressive style. No wonder, they earned a status symbol and the dream of people to possess them. But the price of the pilot product is so high that even well off people may find it difficult to afford, even it could beyond $1, 00,000. But the solution to the problem came out in the form of Bell and Ross replica watches.

This brand is the carbon copy of the original with almost all the features and looks remaining in tact, nonetheless so inexpensive. In fact, Bell and Ross replica watch seems to be so real that it is impossible to make out the difference amongst the two by just looking at them. The amazing fact is that it is has the same high standard and quality as the original has. It is extremely durable, sturdy, highly accurate, and reliable. The price could start from as low as $77. The Bell and Ross replica watch is a sure way to raise ones self esteem and status with out compromising on quality and functioning.

Yowza! I really never stop being impressed with the evolution of the Internet. What if I told you, dear reader, that it’s now possible to search pdf documents and preview them right off your browser? Sounds really sweet, does it not? Well, that’s just what can be done through the new age pdf search engine… kind of a funky name if you ask me, but the tool itself (which is what really matters) sure seems to work like a charm. If you have habit of looking for portable document files on the good old cyberspace, I’m pretty sure this will make your life easier.

At times like these, I cannot help but thinking…. this Internet thing has gone a really long and unpredictable and wonderful way, in the past decade or so. Sometimes I try to imagine what it will be like in another ten years, but that’s just outright scary. Kind of like trying to predict the future. Hm, now that I think of it… I could look up a pdf on foretelling the future. Or maybe another one on predicting the evolution of the Internet. Or maybe both? I mean, just because I can! I really enjoy life in the XXI century, have I told you that?

Don’t you really love it when all your close family somehow seems to regard you as the offical tech wizard in the clan? And yes, I’m being sarcastic here. Because when I say “tech wizard” I really mean “he who handles all the computer-related chores no one really knows how to do or cares to learn how it’s done”. Yes, I figured you may just be able to relate with the whole concept here. You know how it goes… at first they just call you up occasionally for a brief question on how to attach files to an e-mail, and next thing you know, you’re officially in charge of the entire family’s lines of communication.

Anyway… Figuring out the best way to send an antique table to my aunt who lives in Europe: such was my fated headache for today. And for a while there, I almost thought it was going to be a real problem, until I came across this rather decent-looking website specialized in International Shipping. Being quite the informed online shopper I pride myself to be, I wasted no time to look up some reviews to figure out what people think of this website. Judging from what I’ve read so far, it turns out to be a rather decent service with some really competitive prices.

Do you see where I’m going with this? Well, for once, maybe you can relate with my premise and the reference will prove occasionally when you happen to be faced with a similar ordeal. For second… well, I guess I really felt like venting. I’m all for helping my fellow man, and remarkably my fellow family member, but come on… sometimes I cannot help but feel they’re taking advantage of me. Oh well, I still love them so I just put up with it. But one of these days I’ll start teaching them how it’s done, rather than doing it for them. One of these days, I tell you!

Today I decided I’m finally doing something I should have done a long time ago: learn some programming. I mean, I’ve been using computers since I was a kid, and it’s always as a basic user. I’ve always felt drawn to the concept of creating code and conversing with the computer, devising new pieces of software and all that… yet all the while, I guess I never really put effort into it. Well, I happened to come across this website on Cisco Training Indianapolis and I suddenly got a burst of inspiration. I will learn how to program, even if it kills me.

Ok, so maybe it won’t kill me, but it won’t be exactly easy either. Some people just seem to have a natura knack to write code; I really don’t think I have such a skill. I’m just good with other things, other than programming. But I guess with the proper tutoring, one can go long way in terms of surpassing their limitations. Well, hopefully having a good teacher will make all the difference! I’m really doing my best effort this time around, and if I can’t learn how to code, at least I can say I have earnestly tried to. How about yourself, are you any good when in the coding arts?
