worlds top 1000 websites!

So you know, I was just looking at the world's top 1000 websites and a few there looked interesting. So I guess I will tell you what ones seem interesting:
Blogspot is number 7. That's interesting. I thought it would be ranked farther down then that.
I like Bing. It's number 13. I like Bing because it has that trip advisor to tell you when flight prices are going to be lower so that you can plan your trip and not spend lots of money! :)
Ebay is 24th on the list and I thought it would be ranked higher up closer to number one because soooo many people use it but whatever.
Well there's just a sample of what I thought was interesting. I'm not going through all 1000 to see what I like. :)

APP or CRAP?

APP or CRAP? That's the question. In apple's App store there are apps that help parents do their parenting. There are even apps that help manage kids time-outs. I think this is a little over the top and I think old-School parenting is the best way to go. At least you get to talk to your child face to face instead of having an iPhone or ipod touch do all the interacting. And maybe kids are acting up and such because they don't get enough face to face time with their parents and too much time with the screen. It just seems a bit too crazy ans bizarre. Old-school all the way is what I have to say. Hey that rhymes!

My wordle!!!!

PIXAR!

So at pixar they make amazing movies right? That's what I thought. But the people a Pixar have a strategy for cranking out such good movies. It all starts with the fun and interesting layout of the building. It helps all the creators and directors of the movies we love to think creatively and be productive. Instead of having a traditional workspace, Pixar provides employees with tons of out of this world unusual workspaces. As long as Pixar does this, they will be churning out hit movies time and time again. Saying that, I don't think that Pixar movies are ever finished because they leave room for people to think and expand on the subject. I don't think they are ever finished because the it gives the people at Pixar another reason to make another hit movie and rake in millions of dollars. They leave people wanting more so that when the new movie comes out, all the people that saw the previous movie will come and watch this one. It's a marketing strategy I think. :)

Cd tray to ipod dock? crazy but true!

So, do you know that little thing that slides out of your computer when you press the button and a cd goes in it? The optical drive? Well, no one really uses theirs anymore because when we want to install a program we can just look to the internet. So if you don't use your optical drive anymore and you own an ipod, you can turn the optical drive into an ipod dock! You first have to cut a hole in the cd large enough to fit the plastic docker that came with the ipod. Then tape the docker to the cd, attach the cable that comes with the ipod to the ipod and computer and you are set! It's waaaaaay cheaper than the one apple makes! But note that you should make sure that your cd tray doesn't close when the computer is shut off or after a certain period of time after first opening the cd tray. Have fun! :)

So blackberry is moving forward in society! Instead of just servicing able bodied people, they are staring to move towards the field of visual impairment. They are changing their set up for a multi-tap keyboard user interface which gives auditory responses to letters that the blind hit etc. So you may wonder... how can a person who is blind send or receive and email? Well, there is this program called thunder where you download the software and then the computer or phone talks to them and reads the email. And all you use is the keyboard. i don't know if this is what mr. curtis is looking for... I'm sorry

justin bieber!

wow. look at justin. that's all I can say!!! wow!!!

The world according to Microsoft in 2019

I have a few questions about this video.
1. How did they do that?
2. Does this technology already exist if they did this video?
3. How much does it cost to use that technology?

That video was actually really interesting to me. It makes me think about my future and what will be in store. I'm excited to see if this actually happens in 2019!See the video for yourself!

Texting in Class? Yes! or maybe no....?

So there are these new watches in Japan that can connect to your phone. You can text, receive calls, see who's calling, and control your phones camera. All from this watch. I say it's revolutionary. I mean if you like to text in class. I see this as a good thing, but also a bad. This will allow kids to text in class and not pay attention, therefore not getting good grades and then getting bad jobs etc, etc. It would just be really good to have and to show to your friends.

Touch Technology

Touch, touch touch. This is the new era. Touch screen this, touch activate that. Well I just looked up the new Delta Touch2O Technology. You don't need to turn the nob, just touch any part of the faucet and there you go! But some may wonder... How do I control the temperature? Well I looked that exact question on the website and it said you can use the manual nob, or when you touch to turn it on, it goes to the temperature from the last time you used it. Other things that may benefit from this technology is your reading light, although that technology has been around for a while. Maybe your T.V. so when you want to turn it on, you just walk up and touch it. There may be more uses but I'm not on the ball today.

Radiohead or 3D Head?

I just watched the video about radiohead and their use of Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics are scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes. I have to admit, the video was pretty cool... Only for the first few seconds. Then it got boring seeing these grainy images and distorted faces. The quality wasn't that great either. Sometimes it was great, other times it was bad. i know they might have thought it was cool at the moment, but I think it was a one shot thing because nobody else has really done that kind of video. Moving the images in the moving image thing was pretty sun too...again for a few minutes. but whatever. I get quite bored easily. it's not my fault!

I'm a jean machine! grrrrrr!

This is actually an assignment that I actually like. You get to design your jeans! yay! So this is how the website helped me find my ideal jeans: Algorithms. Algorithms in this case are for assessing consumer body size and shape for fitting garments, based on straightforward questions about body shape. The algorithms for this particular website were developed from statistics gathered (and fiercely analyzed) from scanning thousands of bodies. Ok, to get indidenmin.com to make you pair of jeans, they first ask you about what colour of wash you prefer, what embellishments you want and what kind of fit you want. (skinny, bootleg, capri etc.) Then it gets to the nitty gritty stuff. They ask you how tall you are, how much you weigh, inseam length, and pant size that you normally wear etc. Then, when you are done, it compiles your results and gives you the price and fabric of the jeans you were mean't to wear your whole life. You know, the ones that actually fit. Mine were 160$ by the time I was done. And here is the picture of what they look like. Enjoy!
