New blog

10 March, 2005
Hey, you can also visit my other brand spankin’ new blog here. It got miscellaneous short stories that I’ve written and some sample chapters from little books. Anyway, check it out!

Teen Programming Group

10 March, 2005
Hey! I need some members! In my Teen Programming Google group that is. You can visit it here. I know, I know. There are hardly any members. Two be exact. And I’m one of them. :( This is why I need you to visit and if you are at all interested, join! It’s just a place where teen or beginner programmers can talk about the different languages they use, etc, etc.

WAA! What has happened!

28 February, 2005
Yikes! I just checked on this and realized that I haven’t posted in almost a month! I guess this is what comes of busy people. I have waaay too much going on. If only summer could come a few months early this year. I guess us humans don’t have too much control over that. Oh well. If for some odd reason you want to see a test of a website you can visit mine.

Busy, busy, busy

23 January, 2005
I know, I know. I haven’t posted on here in quite awhile. I’ve been busier than I think I’ve ever been. I wasn’t on the computer hardly at all last week. (amazing huh?) Well, at least I’m here now, right? Right. I’ve been listening to “The Long Road” Nickelback album almost constantly these past few days. I’m actually listening to it at this very moment! It rocks. You’ve probably heard at least one of their songs on the radio at one point or another.

Pointless Websites

5 January, 2005
Does anyone want to do some pointless browsing? If you do, just check out these links: http://www.wd40.com http://www.nutellaUSA.com http://www.pringles.com I just don’t see the point in these websites! What in the world are you going to do on a WD-40 website?! Forgive me for criticizing these websites but, in my opinion they are utterly and completely pointless. Maybe they made them just so it looks nice on their packaging or something.

Resolutions? Nah.

1 January, 2005
Well, it’s a new year again. What happened to 2004? A couple of weeks ago I was on my summer vacation in California! Time is a weird thing. Most of the time it just flies by or, if your sitting in a classroom with a really boring teacher well, time just stops. It crawls. It creeps. Then, after school you go out to the mall and BOOM! It’s your curfew already.

Gmail

30 December, 2004
Lightning fast is what it is. Gmail I mean. No kidding. It’s lightning fast even on my dial-up connection! Incredible. I was invited to try out a free Gmail account about a week ago and well, it rocks. It just flat out rocks. You get one gig of space, you can import contacts from most other email programs (Outlook, Eudora, etc) or services (MSN, Yahoo, etc), and you can invite other people to try it out too!

Has anyone seen this?

23 December, 2004
Has anyone seen the new “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” extended edition? They added a whopping fifty extra minutes to a movie that was already about three and a half hours long! I haven’t seen it yet but I really want to. Check out these bonus features: Four commentaries, with over thirty participants from the cast and crew including Peter Jackson, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Oscar-winners Richard Taylor and Howard Shore, with Andy Serkis contributing additional dialogue between Gollum and Smeagol.

It continues...

15 December, 2004
Well, a new day begins. Nothing exciting happening today. Oh well. Anyway, on to REBOL. I must make clear before going any further that it’s pronounced like “rebel” not “reebol”. As I said yesterday, you should look at http://www.rebol.com and read all about it. I haven’t tried any other languages but, from what I’ve heard it’s really good for a lot of things compared to other languages. If you want to buy a book on REBOL, there are only two in english at this point.

In the beginning...

9 December, 2004
Well it’s begun. This is the first entry in the blog of, well, me. But you can already see that so, let’s move on. Okay. If anyone would like to criticize me on my blogging technique please do. I am completely brand new to this so, some advice would be much appreciated. I’m really in to computers. I like gaming even though I wouldn’t be classified as a gamer, I’m learning programming in REBOL (for all of you who haven’t heard of it, see below), I listen to all types of music (from rock to classical), I read lot of books (mostly science fiction/fantasy) and well, blog!
