I know I've been slacking...

Well, the truth is... College is hard and takes up a lot of time.. and when you add that to being sick and having pretty busy weekends it kind of takes away from the time that I'm sitting at my computer thinking of funny pointless stuff to write about... Have no fear, Thanksgiving break is coming, and I've been saving and idea for thanksgiving too. So just wait... more is coming. .. if anybody still pays attention....

Just when you thought your phone could do everything..... boy were you wrong...

I think cell phone companies, application software companies, or a bored college comp sci student are running out of ideas for cell phone apps.  Its like, "Oh, what do we do now... create an app that lets us walk and text at the same time?" Cause now, there is a company working on an app and cell phone add on that will tell you if you have an STD by peeing on this little micro chip and putting it in your cell phone....  Yeah, you pee on a micro chip and place it in your cell phone... then it tells you if you have an STD or not.... The UK Clinical Research Collaboration has dumped about 4 million in to the development of this.. 'tool'.  I guess STD's are spreading around the UK faster than rumors of a shooter at A&M, so then the smartest thing to do would be to create a self testing kit for your iPhone so you can do it anytime you want and then tell your friends and tweet about it on twitter. "@lonelygurl13<3 I don't have gonorhea!!! and I'm not pregnant!!! (with a British accent, cause it seems this problem only exist in the UK.....)". I guess this could come in handy when you meet this really awesome person and you think, "maybe this is the one" and your not quite sure of their past because maybe they are a "born again Christian" and you could ask them, "hey, could you pee on this for me?", "ummmm, what?", "yeah, can you pee on this for me. I want to make sure your clean before we take this relationship to the next level." ... "but we met yesterday", "I know, you can never be too careful"..... This will either make or break that relationship. And hey, if they never talk to you again because if it, then it wasn't meant to be.  With all this said, looks like another worthless app (to me anyways, some people might find this very helpful for them... and their career as an "escort") that I will not be wasting money on.


Hey look its Friday!!

Apparently, I'm a pretty big deal in Pakistan...

Since creating my blog back in late September I have had over 12 hundred views (thats 1,200).  Yesterday, I added my blog to this website similar to stumbleupon.com that just randomly finds blogs. So since then I have became a global internet sensation! Taking over the world one awesome pathetic blog post at a time! I've scored hits from India, Colombia, Canada eh, Netherlands, Singapore, Bangladesh, Denmark, Romania, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and a whopping 21 hits from Pakistan just yesterday!! I'm huge! Right now I want to give a shout out at my peeps over seas checking out my blog, even though you more than likely don't speak English, so all this is nonsense to you, I'm going to add a funny picture we all can laugh at.

Humor- When something funny happens.. everyone laughs. Even if you don't know how to say "hi" to each other

My next target goal for world domination total internet popularity would be to reach out to China, but we're going to either have to wait till China allows Google in to China (blogger is a Google product) or we reach the lost people from China through proxies.  I guess if I'm going to appeal to the mass population of China I'm going to have to start making post with a slight communist aspect to them.  Such as, tell a story about how the government took two of my chickens and gave one to my neighbor, let me have two eggs from it, and only allow me one drum stick. And some how tie this story to the story of Jesus feeding the 5000 so I can share the love of Jesus Christ to all Chinamen through the use of communist humor. Brilliant.  Either it will work, or I will become an enemy of China and will never be able to travel to China... darn.


Heres another picture for my non-english speaking friends.

Happy Wednesday

Why living in your car during college just might work out

It seems that the common joke everybody says and gives a small chuckle about is that all college students are poor... "I can't go to the movies I'm a 'poor' college student"... "Hey man! Do you have the new call of duty yet?"... "No broski, I'm a poor college student." ... In all reality, your not poor.. your just choosing to spend your money on school (or your parents money) and then you tell your parents you need money for books, pens, and paper when really you want to go skydiving with your friends next weekend.... but thats besides my point.. My point is that I think I've found a solution to save some extra money while at college, and it will make a great story after college. This is that your live in your car! Its so simple and you'll save soooo much money on housing! This is how it will go down:

First your need a car like this

(Hardcore paint job not required, but recommended for style points(and a better story))

After you acquire the above sweet ride, you now rig the inside of it to have a twin bed, a 50 inch tv or larger and a satellite dish for tv plus and xbox. You will then need to find a close power outlet to plug into so you can power the lights, tv, computer, ac/heater, and vribating bed (if you must).  Now your probably thinking, But Drew where will you go to the bathroom and take a shower and eat and study and make friends? At your schools recreation/gym center thingy there are public bathrooms at your disposal for daily usage.. so given a small walking distance its really not a big problem.  Eating is pretty simple, meal plan... restaurants, friends refrigerators. Then studying.. come on.. the library? Oh and making friends, lets just say don't be that creeper that lives in his van.. and then you'll do fine.  

See, that seems pretty sweet.  Think of the positives: no roommates, you can make as much noise as you want after 11:30pm, no visiting hours to follow (or if you view them only as a suggestion), you can move where ever you want to, and your saving money... for things like books and supplies....!!! So there you go, a way to save money in college... I should tell Dave Ramsey about this....

You could be like this guy!

Peace out

A story worth telling..

Not only did he win a bunch of money, he got a line of girls wanting to marry him! and he picked the prettiest one... or the one with the largest chest.....See, money does bring love and happiness, Just look at his face! 

Do you find your self running in to things while texting?

Not anymore you wont!  LG has created a solution to the accident prone act of texting while walking! It's called the Look n Type app and its coming to a LG Optimus 7 near you!  What this crazy app does is lets you see whats a head of you on your texting screen by using the camera, and you get to see what your texting! Brilliant!

This will be perfect for people who have to shoot off a text message to their BFF while they are driving, and who already have poor driving skills and adding a cell phone just makes it deadly, cause now you can see the road and your pointless lengthy  important message!  Cause we all know texting while driving is sooooo important.... This is also good for dads who are constantly glued to their phones "checking emails" 24/7.  Now they can see their emails over their families faces at the dinner table! (but actually listening and engaging in conversation might not take place) The possibilities of this app are endless! You can now text in class, text at sporting events, text during movies (with the brightness turned down of course), and even text while on facebook on your computer and not miss a thing!! Oh boy!  This app is already available on the iphone, its called "Type n Walk".  Also look for in the app store! "Text n Drive," "Text n Class," "Text n Cheer" (for sporting events), "Text n TURN YOUR BRIGHTNESS DOWN," and "Text n Facbook'n it".  Coming soon to the app store: "Text n Eat'n," "Text n Halo" (Also works for Call of Duty), "Text n Read..a book," "Text n sleep," and finally "Text n Text" because sending a text message while your watch your self send another text messages is so important! Aint technology great!

How computer scientist rule the world...

Welcome to the wonderful 'secure' world of computers and internet.  You come into contact with them at least once, if not more, everyday.  You pay your bills, buy stuff, transfer money in to your poor college students bank account, look at your friends pictures on the book of the face, send messages to your "friend" your girl friend told you to stop talking to,  and use message boards to bash a certain sports team because they never had a good football team an now all of a sudden they are leading the big twelve south (Sic' Em). But what if your identity you thought was safe all of a sudden became public, like your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, your address, every message you sent to your mistress, and your actual name from that sports forum.  Then you might find yourself missing a large chunk of your money, find out all the raunchy messages you sent to Crystal get posted everywhere, and a fan and his two friends Lady and Joy show up to your Austin apartment.  Well, the truth is... this can all happen.  You are not safe in this world of technology.. if someone wants your stuff.. they can get it.  To keep track of everything, all your online purchases, bank information, ip addresses, all sent and received messages, wall post from like 2005, and your address on your espn.com account are all saved on a database somewhere out there. This information is all accessible to people that we have to trust, and these people are the programmers of this software.  With out these trusted bunch of people the internet would be full of lies, scams, and thieves(more than it already is).  For instance, say I worked for a bank and I had to make it where my bank could do online transfers from one account to another account over all the different banks in the nation.  So in order to do these transfers I need to be able to process all of these account and routing numbers.  Then say I am the only programmer that works for this bank, so nobody is checking my code.  I could then log every account number that runs through my money transferring program, so then I have access to all these accounts.  Then I could take one dollar from every account that I get, and I could make millions on this. Plus, it might even be hard to catch me on this too.  If I only take a dollar from you, would you really notice that it is gone? Or care enough that it is missing?  And being the smart people we computer scientist are, we will find a way without getting caught too... remember the movie office space? Exact same concept.  Then lets say after getting fired from this bank for stealing 200 million from people (but I didn't get arrested because I invested it in a online stock trading program I made that makes trades in milliseconds making pennies and I eventually made say.. 10% profit off the 200 mil... so I paid everyone back with interest... everyone was happy.. and I kept my 5mil that was unaccounted for) so, I then get a job at facebook. And lets say its getting close to a presidential election... and this certain presidential candidate I didn't like had a facebook in high school and college... well, let me just tap into the database and take a look at every picture he was tagged in and every picture he uploaded and pretty much everything he said.... uh-oh.. that could cause problems for him if he did things that are a little more intense than chopping down a cherry tree.....  and now its floating all over the internet....  Kinda, makes you a little more afraid of what you say and what information you put up on the internet.... Oh, btw some peoples passwords for facebook and their email are so easy to break... all they have to do is look around on your profile and they will find out enough information to guess your security questions to your email. So they can change your emails password and then change your facebook's password.. and then you aint never getting in to it... And another thing... I have this tool on my mac that when I'm sitting in a non secure wifi zone, I can pull it up and it tracks every cookie going out from that router (google what that means).  So then if you are on facebook, I have the ability to get on your facebook and change anything I want, except the password.... crazy huh?  Enough telling you our secrets, Have a happy week!!





Halloween impressions 2010: Well it appears that everyone has uploaded their halloween pictures up to their facebooks for public screening, and your mom calling you asking why you were not wearing much cloths.  It seems the most over used costume was Mario and Luigi. They made an appearance at every party that had pictures on my news feed... let me take this time to dog on these two.... Ok, I still don't understand why people just love super Mario and say its the greatest game to ever come out... Have you played Halo?.... Come on, Super Mario on the original Nintendo sucks!! I played it the other day and it held my attention for a full 1 minute, then I went to work on a puzzle cause it was more entertaining.... So, why not dress up as Master Chief or Soap or Ghost from Call of Duty.. at least those games are fun...  Then for pumpkin carving, why does every party that has Mario and Luigi always have a pumpkin that appears to be drunk and throwing up?  Way to be different... it was funny once (Like being Mario and Luigi)... be original... copy kats..
