Finally a game for programmers... C-JUMP

c-jump helps children to learn basics of programming languages, such as C, C++ and Java. This is great. and for 30 bucks ($US) you can not go wrong.


By moving around the board , entering loops, branching under conditional and switch statements, the players gain physical experience of a complete program. Understanding of the internal action of a computer is essential to understanding what software is. Static program causes dynamic process in the computer.

Take me to a Place where I haven't been there once.

Ok, so I will stop and go to bed now and yet again suffer from Lack of insomnia.

...

Why do places that are open 24 hours have "OPEN" signs?

You Know...

I was asked the other day a not so perplexing question.

Why do Drive through ATM machines have Braile on them?

Because the Drive-through ATM machines are the Same machines as Regular WalkUp ATM machines.

What I want to know is How do the dogs know what an ATM machine is.

...

I really think soap shouldn't taste like strawberries or any other fruit for that matter. It's very misleading.

What if ... ????

What if this was my Batman cup and the Cup I got that had batman on it was really The Incredible Hulk.


Someone has some explaining to do.

What If... ????

What if I was really this Alien that was sent here to do alot of things and then I got side tracked and thought I was an abnormal human with a dog that had bees in its mouth so when it barks it shoots bees out of its mouth.




And If so how come I can't get any honey from the bees?

How Come... ???

How come Tomorrow never gets here but today is always here and yesterday I missed?

...

Has your brain ever hurt when you talk to yourself, Er Think. Because Sometimes It does for me, espesically when I bang in against something.

So.. I ahhh...

Walked in to this Bar the other day, and the bar tender says "Hey Watch out for that..."

Another Great Reason Why Squirrels Kick Ass.

Simply Hired.com - Job Search website...



I stumbled upon this site through nwfusion.com. Seems to be a promising site. I've done a few searches with them and have gotten several decent job hits in my area. Maybe i will apply for them?...

At a further glance:
"Simply Hired is a vertical search engine company based in Silicon Valley, and we're building the largest online database of jobs on the planet. Our goal is to make finding your next job a simple yet effective, enjoyable journey. We can't always promise you'll discover your dream job, but we'll give you the best chance possible to get a bigger paycheck, a more considerate boss, or a shorter commute."

I will look more into them and report in. They have some pretty decent features offered when checking on jobs. For instance, I tried a search for Network Admin in Moreno Valley, Ca. A got back a few hits that had what I was looking for. Noticed this lil image too
, Thought Hmm, What are you for? Well its in regards to a place called LinkedIn. Basically Who do you know, and Do those people know anyone at said prospecting employer? [http://www.linkedin.com] Interesting, I must inquire further.

Wholy Crap Evil Demon Spawn!

Yea.. a friend (john) sent me the link for the Trailer... Just SmackDown-a-lisous... Sorry for that last comment, I appologize.
So the Rock will star as "Sarge" in the new G2M (Game to Movie) "DOOM". Yet another game storyline ripped to pieces. I mean, Its not the Rocks Fault, Im not bitching about him being in the movie, Although they could have picked someone else. But thats not the point of me posting at the moment. Granted that some G2M's or Even C2M (Comics) have had a Great out come, but still the Storyline has a tendincy to be mixed up.


Reading up on the Storyline for the movie Doom they give does it some justice, but the games storyline deals more so with Hell and its Demons, The Plot I read for it, doesnt state much for the Hell reference just something about a Portal to Earth.. Well We'll see, It was suppose to be released August 5, 2005. New Release Date: Oct. 21, 2005.

Burn, Flip, Burn .. Ahhh No Ink....

This is the Freaking Sweetest thing! that I have ever been waiting for, its Freaking PERFECT.. I stopped using labels a few years ago because it is just too damn expensive.

On January 4, 2004, HP announced an innovative new technology to address the problem of labeling CDs and DVDs.

LightScribe technology allows consumers to create silk-screen quality labels on their CDs or DVDs by burning text and graphics directly onto a disc, eliminating the need for adhesive labels.

However, this seems to be an older Technology, But has yet to really catch on. I went looking around on the web to see How much this will cost, i.e. Hardware, Software and media. Suprisingly this setup isnt all that expenisive. Below is a price list of Hardware, Software and Media for the Lightscribe technology.

HARDWARE
  • BenQ - Model #: DW1625 BLK OEM $ 59.99
    WRITE Speed
    DVD+R 16X
    DVD+RW 4X
    DVD-R 8X
    DVD-RW 4X
    CD-R 40X
    CD-RW 24X
    DVD+R DL 2.4X


  • HP - Model #: DVD640I $ 75.00
    WRITE Speed
    DVD+R 16X
    DVD+RW 4X
    DVD-R 8X
    DVD-RW 4X
    CD-R 40X
    CD-RW 24X
    DVD+R DL 2.4X
SOFTWARE
MEDIA
  • HP
    • 8x 4.7GB LightScribe DVD+R Media, 5-pack
    • Lightscribe CD-R 52x, 5-Pack
  • Memorex
    • DVD+R Light Scribe 10 Pack $ 13.99
    • CD-R 80 LightScribe 10 Pack $ 5.99
  • Imation
    • 700MB 52X CD-R 30 Pack Disc $ 19.99
  • Verbatim
    • 4.7gb 8x DVD+R 10 Pack Spindle $ 12.99
You can spend under $100 bucks to start out. Most of US already have the software, its just a matter of getting the Hardware and Media for it. The cost of the hardware is very cheap, the current regular DVD Burners match what LightScribe Technology Capable DVD Burners offer and at a cheaper price. Although, I did read that DVD Media for this technology are in short supply, they are still available and can be purchased online or in store. For me, I've been looking for this kind of thing for a long while, and It is perfect! I shall be investing shortly. And with that said, I'll surely update when I do.

"Its like Pandroa's Box, But I can use it!"

Borrowing from amateur astronomers, German researchers have developed a folding space telescope that collapses into the size of a large suitcase during launch but which unpacks to its full length once in orbit.

By collapsing that space, the team was able to reduce the DST’s volume during launch by 70% and its weight by 50% compared to other space telescopes with similar apertures.
