What I wouldn't give to be out of college already

Or at least not such a picky and hard sleeper.

Our car almost got broken into. We're not sure when the attempt happened, but we noticed the damage this afternoon. Of course it could have been anybody. If it were to be someone we've encountered it would be a guy who fixed our car at the GM auto repair shop when our radio was broken. Definitely a suspicious character. Who ever it was, their method's were deficient. They mutilated our door frame and killed the paint. Dent's everywhere. I can honestly say if they had any brains at all they would have used a Coat hanger. I know it works because my dad's locked the key's inside 3 times before, and it's how I got the door's open.

I shouldn't complain though. On one hand we have a damaged car now. On another, we still HAVE the car.

So Being the tech-wanty kid I am, I looked up surveillance camera's again. Wireless camera's simply don't cut it... The first one we bought interfered with our wireless Internet, and was just crappy overall.


The cost for 4 night vision camera's, the cables needed, and a video surveillance recorder totaled to over 1,000 dollars. That's a bit much for me. Yet I have the tendency to search big when it comes to fun electronics's. I tried some simple research for cheap things which suit my desire. The cheapest night vision camera never went lower than $70. Even an acceptable Surveillance DVR with an Included hard drive came to around $400. The cheapest video recording method, which even beats the old VCR recorders, was a specially designed PC capture card on sale for $150.

Either I'm looking in the wrong places, I don't have enough "sources", or this stuff, like far to many other electronic things, are over-priced.

That's just my opinion though. While prices of yesterday's technology goes down. The cost of today's technology becomes ridiculous. Yet once again, that's just my opinion.

My new website layout saves you money!!

I was doing random things on the computer, and came across a search engine that runs of google. Called "Blackle". The idea is to save you money... seriously. You computer screen undoubtedly uses a fair sum of money. But get this, the brighter and 'whiter' the colors of your on your screen are, the more you spend on electricity. As an opposition, the darker and blacker your screen colors are, the less energy it consumes to give you an image.

Thus, my Black backgrounded website saves you money :)

Now you can help the site by donating all that saved money to the site!! Via the "Donate" link in the bottom left corner of every web page.

Blog 1.5

So I've got the blog on the home page now. When I was experimenting with working the blog code into the websites code, the style changed to black... I'm still going through the blogs original CSS, but I'll get it right eventually.

I actually kind of like black. I was trying to avoid going 'back' to black when I first stared this site, but I really do think I like it. Perhaps I'll convert the whole site to a black layout     =D

Maybe now my friends that help me with future projects will join blogger and I can make their account able to post on here. So I'm not doing all the posts about site updates :P

fun fun!

The site has a blog! Almost...

I have a real job now ^_^ It's only part time on weekdays, so it wont interrupt school, Wednesday nights, church, or dances. And I'll finally be makin' real mula!!

I've recently discovered the advantages of Blogspot.com . I've always known it was there, but with their "blog via your webhost" deal I'll be able to keep a blog on this website without to much interruption. I'm still working on the layout of the new blog to fit the site homepage just right, so I have much testing to do. Hopefully it will work out like I want it to.
