Summer is Almost Here!
The title says it all! Summer is almost here, and the school year is almost over. I know I haven’t been as up to date on my website as I would like to have been. I have been super busy with school work! I know you are probably thinking that I always say that, but it is just the simple truth. I make sure that my school work comes first, so that I can get all I can out of my education. Right now I have a project that is 186 pages, I checked the Word docuement properties and it says I worked on that file for over 17.5 hours. I am not even done of that project yet.. I still have 2 more sections to do in it, so that’s where most of my time has been lately. Then, I have to read a book and do journal entries on each chapter, and I am at about chapter 20 out of 30. I also have a reseach paper to do, my topic is the “World Wide Web”, I know quite a bit about that subject of course, so that one won’t take too long! I also just finished a brochure project today that is due tomorrow for my Ecology class and the list goes on! Not only do I have projects, but I have 2 tests this week, and then I have my finals coming up in a few weeks.
I just wanted to post this to let you know that when the summer comes, I will be back for good, and have a lot more interesting things on my website. Once school is over, I can just relax and be able to get more things done for my online life, like blog posts, and videos!
Here are some pictures I just took with my iPhone showing you some of my projects:
It’s Finally Here!
Spring Break 2010! Now that I am completely done with school for another 9 days, I can relax and get back to what I enjoy doing the most; making videos, and updating my blog! I have been really busy this week! I had 3 English projects due, another book report thing for English, a proposal for an animation I have to do in my Geography class, and I also had a geography test and a chemistry test. I have worked so hard this week, I just need to go somewhere and have some fun.
I am not going anywhere exotic or anything, but I am going away for a couple days to do some shopping and stuff like that. I will be bringing my camera along so when I get back, or when I am bored in my hotel room I will start to edit and get a video out there so you can all see what I did.
So as I was saying, I am leaving today, and going for a few days. I packed my suitcase last night and filmed a little vlog that should be up by the time this post is published so make sure you go ahead and watch that.
Also when I am gone, I will be posting pictures to TwitPic from my iPhone, so be sure to follow me on Twitter, so that you can get all my updates and see my pictures, and if you don’t have twitter, I might just post them on my blog, or my Flickr account.
As for the remainder of my break, I think I am just going to hang out around the house, and make lots of videos, and blog posts and just relax. What are your plans for your Spring Break 2010? Let me know in the comments!
I hope you all have a great Spring Break, and make sure to check back here on my blog for videos from my Spring Break!
New Desk!
Just the other day, I decided it was about time I got a new desk. Of course, being the spoiled person that I am, my Dad went out and bought me this desk! I didn’t get it set up the night he bought it because I had a lot of homework and studying to do for my Finals but the next day, Friday night to be exact, my dad and I set up my desk. It is really great! I have a place now for my computer to sit on and still have a big place to do school word and things like that! That is ultimately what I wanted, was to be able to have a big space in my room where I could do my school work and have everything look organized! This is a really great desk for that, and now when I get my iMac, I will have a perfect spot to put it! I am really happy about how it turned out! I think it looks great!
iPhone Wallpapers!
I have recently created another webpage just for the purpose of iPhone wallpapers. I know how much I love changing my iPhone wallpaper so I thought I would share all the ones I use with other people so they can enjoy them too. All you need to do is go to the right side of this website, and click on the picture of the iPhone at the top, it will then take you to another webpage of mine and there you can browse through and look for wallpapers you would use. Once you find the ones you want, you click on them and click download and then from them get them on your iPhone by whatever method you use. You can watch a video I made to learn a little bit more about it.
Back From My Trip!
I am officially back from my trip now and have got lots of rest. I went pretty much non-stop ever since I left so I was kind of tired. I had a great time while I was gone. I will just give you a little run down of what happened when I was gone. So I am going to start from the beginning.
The night before we left I got some last minute packing done and got all my things ready to go for the morning and then went to sleep. So the next morning I packed up my laptop and got all my chargers and things ready to go and then we left. We drove for about 2 hours and then finally made it. First we went shopping at a golf store my brother wanted to go to (I like technology, he likes golf. We are totally opposite). After we left the golf store we went to another store that had clothes and food and things, basically like a walmart but not a walmart. It was actually called Giant Tiger. There my brother and his friend who came with us bought each a big pack of fireworks for $20.00 (even though they are kind of illegal). After we left Giant Tiger, we went to Future Shop. For those people who don’t know what a Future Shop is like, it is basically heaven for a tech lover! They have Apple computers, PC’s, hard drives, TVs, cameras, DVDs, iPod’s, basically anything technology related, they have it there! Last time I went there I bought a Apple Wireless Keyboard, but anyway this time is did pretty good, I only spent $84.00 there as apposed to the hundreds that I normally spend. When I was at future shop I bought some DVD’s and a 8GB Flash drive so I can store most of my video files on there.
After Future Shop we went shopping at a big mall. There I bought some clothes and a lot of Starbucks! In the video I made it only shows me with 2 Starbucks, but I had way more but just didn’t get a shot of them. I am officially hooked now! (I will tell you about the video when I am done explaining the trip). After I bought some clothes we went to have lunch and shopped around a little more and then made our way to our hotel. As we got to our hotel, we saw there had been a motorcycle accident. From what I could tell, I think a car ran into him and he flew off his bike. I think he is going to be okay though, there was no blood and the ambulance didn’t seem to be rushing to get there so I think he just might have some scrapes and cuts from the pavement. I didn’t see what happened but I got most of what happened after on video (When I post the video of my trip there is a part in there about the accident). After I finished filming the accident, we went and checked into our hotel! We went upstairs and went to our room. It was amazing! The TV was the biggest I have ever seen in a hotel room before and it was flat screen! Usually in a hotel room they have old bulky TV’s. After we got all our stuff into the room, I took my Macbook out and looked for restaurants in the area that were good (Got to love wireless Internet at hotels). So we went for dinner and came back and went to the arcade that was in the same building. By the end of the night my brother and his friend got 1400 tickets by playing that basketball game where you have to get it in the hoop within a certain time limit. We ended up getting 2 teddy bears from all those tickets. Then we went back up to our room and had some snacks and drinks, watched TV and went to bed.
The next day we went back to the mall, had lunch, shopped a little more, got some popcorn and a Starbucks coffee and started to drive home. Overall we have a wonderful time and I enjoyed every second of it!
As for the video, it is almost complete. I have all the clips on and it is all edited all I need to do is add music to it, export it, upload it and post it here. I think you will like it. It shows almost everything we did in about 6-7 minutes of clips! So make sure you come back in the next day or so to check to see if the video is up! 
Getting Back Into Everything!
I am just writing this tell you that I’m back and I’m going to be getting into a routine again. I haven’t posted anything in a long time. I really don’t know why that is, other than the fact that I just couldn’t seem to do it. But now with some new software, I think that I will be posting a lot more things. This new software that I got is called MacSpeech Dictation. It is basically voice recognition software that allows you to speak and with it recognizing your voice your computer will type for you. But I’m not going to get into it now, because I will definitely have a post later on with a full review of this software. The only thing I will tell you is that from my knowledge this is the best voice recognition software for the Mac OS X operating system out there. I am actually using it right now write this post. In this detailed review I will be giving you some of the pros and cons of the software. As for other things I’m exporting my HTML lesson number two right now. The video will be up later tonight and I will start working on lesson number 3. I will also be working on more reviews and tutorials. So that is all that I have for you right now, PEACE!
Summer Agenda
I am finally done of school now and I am now going to be fully devoted to my blog and videos. I will try my very best at getting some kind of post or video out every day. But some days that might not be possible, and other days I might put out a couple posts or videos. It just depends on different things, but for sure now, you can expect more content coming your way. As far as what I am going to be doing, as in ideas, I have a pretty good grasp on what is going to be done. I am going to break it off into sections for you and if I do not state other wise this is probably how the content is going to come. For the first portion I am going to be doing basic HTML lessons for beginners, teaching them everything they need to know from how to write code to how to publish it to your host, along with many other rules and things. I will probably have many posts dealing with HTML and videos to go along with it to show you how it works. The HTML video and blogging will probably take up a big portion of the summer, so when I think that I have made enough HTML lessons, I am going to be doing Tutorials. Now with tutorials, that covers a big spectrum of things. I am mainly going to focus on software tutorials. For example, Final Cut Pro, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, iMovie and just different little things I find out about. Other than that, I will have some unboxings, vlogs, and different tests and things like that. I might also start giveaways, for those people who are subscribed to me on youtube, so if your not, go do that now . That basically concludes the summer agenda. Until next time, keep defying the laws of technology!!!
Peace!!
