Theory: Dimension Crossing

Once, when I was little, I came up with this theory from reading too much Star Trek:

"What if, every time you entered a room through a doorway, you were entering a different dimension? There are obvious problems with that. But then, if we were to make, let's say, a building where every room was a different dimension through the use of "inter-dimensional devices". Then, you could ransack one room, then enter another. After, let's say ten minutes, you re-enter the room, and re-ransack the room because every time you re-enter the room after some time, the "inter-dimensional device" inside has changed things to a different dimension."

The problem with that is, if the "dimensional device" fails for one reason or another, then you're stuck in that dimension. There is also the problem that, you could be stuck trying to find your dimension through infinite ones. A problem in itself.

If the reader finds other faults with this theory, leave a comment, and I'll add that problem to the list.

Flash Element TD - The game

I'm putting this in a separate post, because otherwise, I fear that there may be too much on one post. Yesterday, I found Flash Element TD. Today, I found the EMBED for it on it's site. Check it out:

Flash Element TD

This web-based click-see-what-happens is really mostly a small, one-time, flash game. I got bored during the first ten minutes.

The objective: Figure out the right amount of the right type of defensive building to use, then see what happens.

The good: This game is good, if you have only a very few minutes of free time on the net.

The bad: Flash Element TD isn't a name you would think of when you go for "Warcraft meets Starcraft". You have to know what to look for... In any case, this is not the best game I have ever seen, thought it is pretty fun for a short while, it gets annoying.

Time for dogs

I've heard that because the life of a dog is so much shorter than our time, that it means that it's perception of time is different.
Maybe this is because it's memory is far better, and therefore, at least short-term, it's memory records everything in perfect detail, taking longer for the dog to see/feel/smell the sensory information.

Desktop Manager

Desktop Manager, is a very good program that allows you to have more than one desktop, as many as you want. It's available for Mac and Windows, but [unfortunately] the Mac version is better. I know this, because I have the Windows on my parent's, and the Mac version on my computers.

MMORPG

The best MMORPG that I've found to date, is one a friend of mine was looking at. It's called Tank Ball. Being a massive Shockwave web-based game, it's VERY hard to run on a Mac. Installing Sockwave itself is a pain on it's own on a Mac.

In any case, I think you should check out this game. It's the best. If you see someone called Webmaster20, it's me.

Tell me baby

This is one of my favorite Red Hot Chile Peppers songs. I have here the video and song:





I recommend the video first.

Crazy

This is a very popular song by Gnarls Barkley. Video:

Courage, bravery

Courage and bravery's stereotypes are such that are "Someone who can ignore fear, and go on without it." I believe that courage is living with that fear, accepting it as your own. Not exactly embracing it, but not shunning it, either. Accepting the fact that it will be there, and that there's not much you can do to stop it.

In any case, I suppose it depends on what kind of person you are. Personally, this works for me.

Wikipeidia

I've noticed that, whenever you write an article on Wikipeidia, someone will delete it if it's too short. I mean, if you were to write a short, precise article about, say, the blackberry death yesterday, and it will be "speedily deleted". My question to you is, why?

Blackberry Death

What happened? No-one knows. At about 8:00 last night, all blackberry data functions died (data functions = E-mail, the Net, IM ets.). RIM seems to have no explanation for this occurrence, other than that they're trying to get it fixed. Listening to the CBC on the way home today, I heard that the following could be the culprits, in some way or form:

- Insane amounts of Spam
- Backup Systems failing (this is a certainty)
- All data going through Waterloo, and a physical system crash there,
- Or, RIM wanted to shake it's customers into getting backup BBs.

Most BlackBerries were back up at 6 this morning.

Random Science Fact

100% of questions is a question.

Thesis: Conversation Murder

There are many ways to kill a conversation. Tell a lie everyone knows is not true, make a bad/offensive joke, or simply let things trail off.

How does a conversation trail? Why does a conversation trail off? These are some of the questions this fake study will try to disassemble, figure out.

Google Reader

This is an awesome little program that I've actually taken a liking to. What it does is nothing new: it organizes RSS feeds. For free, which partially why I like it. I also like it because it has a Google homepage widget, and very good UI [User Interface]. I particularly like it because Firefox supports it, allowing me to automatically subscribe to feeds with Google Reader.

In other words, I like it because of it's ease of use. Which is surprising for someone like me.

The End of the Internet

Congratulations! This is the last page.

Thank you for visiting the End of the Internet. There are no more links.

You must now turn off your computer and go do something productive.

Go read a book, for pete's sake.

I mean, who writes these kinds of things?

Hatred for updates

I hate it when people don't update. I mean, I was recently on a website, recommended by my friend, and it hadn't been updated in weeks. I like fresh sites, with the most recent information available.

I think many people agree.

YouTube

I have made some YouTube advertisements for my website, Star Trek Wiki. Check them out:

The last one malfunctions a bit.

Initiation

The countdown has started,
The time dies brokenhearted,
For life has from this person darted,
Into the night.

10 minutes to ETA,
Something has gone astray,
If I knew what is amiss,

I wouldn't be writing this.

Theory: Balance

I think that the entire world is based on balance: If you think about any problem long enough, then you'll find an easy answer. There is an easy and hard answer to everything.

But then, there is always an easier way to explain things, right? So: What if we sent out millions and thousands of scientists to research the reason for life, we would eventually find an easy answer. But, then, would the answer just keep getting simpler, and simpler?

According to this, you can make a child understand cold fusion.

Music

There are some pretty nice Blog music players around. I've added "Back to the future" onto my blog. I'll experiment more later.

Wireless

Life is better when you don't need to worry that someone is going to walk in front of your wireless connection and disrupt it.

I don't have that luxury.

Theory

I have a theory.

Millions of years ago, there may have been another, intelligent civilization. One made-up of non-humanoids. When they were dying out, they took the dinosaurs with them. That could potentially explain a lot. Anyway, now our civilization may die out because of global warming, nuclear war, or worse, and we may wipe out, say, the elephant. Then, millions of years in the future, the next type of intelligent life to spring into the forefront will wonder, "What wiped out the Elephants?"

Wouldn't it be cool to survive to see what animal will become (the next?) a form of intelligent life?

Creation

If I ever write such a story, this would be the opening paragraph:

Man has always wanted control over nature. Whenever he gets it, he makes a mistake, and people die. Then we learn not to do that mistake again, and we make others, instead.
So, as the creature rose from the pink waters of the containment area, the thoughts going through it's mind were ones of confusion, of interest. It had, after all, in a past life, been a scientist. Then, it's preditorial instincts took over, and no-one escaped the lab. No-one dared enter, and those who did, never returned. Some went in, none came out. Then, a few years after creation, the creature got bored of it's cavernous lab dwelling...

Funny Star Trek Parodies

The following are parodies of the classic sci-fi show, Star Trek:

Something

These are just some pics I compiled from different sources.

Sleep

Late at night,
I sit in general fright,
Waiting for the thing,
Thinking of it, makes my head ring,
For I will soon remember,
None that will soon transpire,
For it is ne like sitting by a nice,
warm fire,
Nay. It is more like
Ice eating through your skin like never before,
Like something quite opposite of herbivore,
But no memories will I keep,
For this is dreaming, and this is sleep.
