Addicted to the Internet? RIGHTTTT

So you think your addicted to the Internet. Wrong! Maybe a loved one or friend is. Wrong!
Saying someone is addicted to the Internet is like saying, they are addicted to life(that's a good thing rightttt) because that's all it is. LIFE!

With that said, the Internet has many addictive aspects. Chatting, porn, gaming, and gambling are all very addictive and all offered on the Internet. However all of these, excluding chatting, which is only 1 aspect of the Internet, are available offline.

The Internet life is just a new way to live. A new way to start a business, meet new friends, date, talk to old friends, keep up with family, etc... I could go on forever.

The problem is that this new way of life is not socially accepted yet. However its social acceptance is progressing exponentially with help from sites like blogger, myspace, youtube, flickr, ebay etc... Again I could go on forever.

So what about these people who spend hours and hours online. Well I'm one and I bet you are too! I spend time running my blog and youtube channel, while checking in with sites like myspace and hotornot and it takes alot of time to do that. Now granted I can be on and off of myspace in less than 5 minutes if I haven't received any new messages, but the rest takes time. Time to personalize your page, upload new content, update profiles, converse with your friends and family and introduce yourself to new people. Addicted? No, I am not addicted. Do I HALF to get online daily? Only if I want my blog to be a success. Can I go with out the Internet for a few days? Easily!

So where does addiction come in? It doesn't. Life can now be experienced from a chair. Just remember to get up every once in awhile, get some exercises in, eat something, and take a look outside.

New Apartment...

So I think I've discovered one of the reasons why my neighbor above me is so noisy. It seems that there is a girl, who if not lives with him spends a lot of time with him up there. Still though. Whats going on? Do they take turns running around the apartment? Or what? Who knows. At least I know I can sleep through it. However the last 2 days I have woken up at 7:30 exactly with no use of an alarm clock. Not that I'm complaining but I'm one of those people that doesn't wake up with out a clock. It's not like I went to bed early. So whats going on with that. I will further investigate and let you all know.

Simply Amazing: Boston Dynamics Big Dog Quadruped Robot!

Above is a video I found trolling youtube. I think your going to be impressed. This is a video of Boston Dynamics's, quadruped robot. Personally I think it makes Asimo look like a slightly slow child, but to be fair I think that's what Honda was going for, a first step in human robotics. Anyway the first 30 seconds or so are a bit slow. I thought it was a hoax of some type because how many times do you see state of the art robotics walking around the woods and up hill at that... But when its on flat ground in the parking lot it seemed more believable. Then a guy comes out of nowhere kicks it(jump kick) as hard as he could. It stayed on all fours. I thought it was fake again. Then it was slipping on ice.. Fake! Then running and jumping through a laboratory course I was simply AMAZED! I cant wait to get one. Sign me up. I'm riding my oversize quadruped Yorkie to work from now on. I wonder how many horse power these things are going to have.
But on a more serious note. Boston Dynamics has created a biologically moving quadruped. You saw it. It's called BigDog. Don't get too excited though, BigDog is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. So it's really unlikely that you will see it on the common market anytime soon.
On another note, I attempted to go to Boston Dynamics website and waited for about 25 minutes(and I have 6mb comcast cable Internet) while I wrote this(just an attempt to give you more information). I don't know how long this video has been out there but if it's new. Their site may be overrun with web surfers. Hopefully this will not slow production. Anyway the link is all over the article take a look let me know if you get through.

Wiki had a little about it. BigDog is specifically being created as a pack mule for terrain where wheeled vehicles don't do so hot. It was created in 2005, and as far as I know it is not ready for deployment.

Bigdog Facts:

  • It can cover difficult terrain at 3.3mph
  • It can climb a 35 degree incline.
  • It can carry up to 120 lbs in these conditions.
  • It is about the size of a small mule.

New apartment...

So I thought that I had (1)some pretty quiet neighbors (2)a really well insulated apartment. Well I was wrong on both accounts. Turns out the guy who lives above me was out of town. Now that he is back he is always and I mean constantly moving around. I don't understand how he can move that much. What I really don't get is why he has to move so much. I mean seriously! What is he doing up there? The whole situation makes me feel like a weirdo, because I am in my apartment on my computer or watching some tv. I mean I work out and I do move around, but the apartment is like 600 square feet. Where the hell is he going? I keep thinking back to when I was younger my sisters friends would be upstairs making all kinds of noise and I would yell up "be quiet!". I find myself almost doing that hear. Anyway I just wanted to vent.

HP manufactured dvds on demand? Awesome!

This was announced January 24th 2008, so you may have already heard about this, but since I haven't heard of it then some of you haven't earlier. Plus I think this will be great.
HP (Hewlett Pakard) has went into the dvd buisness or actually the hard to find media buisness. Everybody has a dvd they want that has not been released. We are all stuck watching this media on antiquated equipment(VCR). HP has fixed that.
HP announced the 24th of January 2008, that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has licensed a vast majority of there library for production through HP's new DVD on demand. This made Sony Pictures the first major studio to team with HP. Other Major Studios should follow Sony's lead.
I don't know about everybody else but I think this is great. The chance to buy movies that time forgot on DVD like "What Did You Do In The War Daddy" is simply amazing. There are lists of dvds all over the Internet requesting their release, my only hope is that they will offer the ones I want too.
First Sony will be releasing these types of media and I'm sure this is only the beginning.

  • Classic and older TV shows never before released on DVD
  • Foreign movies
  • Productions for specialty genres such as religion, education, lifestyle, health, food and sports
  • Specialty cable TV programming
  • Independent movies
  • Recently broadcast TV shows and sporting events with high relevancy in specific geographic markets or within specific consumer segments.

The list of media being released has not been finalized yet. Here is the link to the Press Release.
