Moved

This is just a late heads up, but I’ve moved the blog to http://blog.bloatedbunny.com/

Perseverance

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. ~Thomas Edison

Rock Paper Scissors

Rock Paper Scissors is not only a growing sports phenomenon, it also plays a critical role in international relations. It is hands down the most efficient vehicle of non-violent conflict resolution known to man.

Alright, so I found this video on complete accident, but I am very happy I did. This guy is just amazing. I have to share :)  (it is to bad wordpress.com doesn’t allow the html required to video post, but o well)

Google Maps Flight Sim

So I was browsing Wonderland today and saw Alice’s post “Goggles: the Google Maps flight sim” and I just had to share. As Alice said, calling it a “Flight sim is a bit of an exaggeration … but it’s just GREAT.” Mark Caswell-Daniels over at Isoma.net has created a fun little tool that uses Google maps and a little 3D airplane to let you fly around (called Goggles). The controls are simple: space=fire gun, a=faster, z=slower, and the arrow keys to control the plane. There are 19 different starting points ranging from the US, Netherlands, Germany, and Japan to the Moon and Mars. Overall it is fun, pointless, but worth checking out.

Movies and Books

Alright I’ve decided to post a little update on how I’ve been passing the time while at my dads. I’ll start with my three favorite rented movies. Here they are in the order I watched them (number = preference): The Three Burials of Melquiades Esrada (2), The Snow Walker (1), and 25th Hour c. I enjoyed all three of these movies a lot, and, had complete boreddom not been such a major factor, I probably would have never seen these movies. As for movies I’ve seen it theaters, here they are in order from first seen to last: Lady in the Water, Clerks 2, and The Descent. Again good movies.

Now an update from my earlier post on books, I’ve now finished Stephen King’s Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger which I really didn’t care to much for. Are the other books in the series any better? I’ve also finished book 3 (The Dragon Reborn) and 4 (The Shadow Rising) of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series. Unfortunately I don’t have book 5 of the series.

So, thats about it for books and movies this summer at my dad’s. I’m headed home on Thursday (8/10). I’m really looking forward to beging home for awhile since I’ve been away for about a month. Anyways, I’ll try to look for something interesting to post in the next few days, though honestly if you just browse the web you’ll probably find the same stuff as I do.
