Baysa

2005-05-30T15:15:00.000-04:00

I made U-15 Baysa last week. For those who dont know Baysa is a traveling soccer club. I made the classic team which is i think the best Burlington has.

Just my luck

2005-05-18T20:45:00.000-04:00

Well I was walking back from elective and there were rocks on the sidewalk. As I was walking i accidently kicked one and it hit a glass door. I look up and the door was shattered. I was thinking great thats just my luck. So I go ask a teacher what I should do and he said go to the office. So I go up to the office and tell them what happened. Luckily Mrs. Moody (the secretary) likes me and helped me out. Also I was very lucky to get principal Alshire instead of the other one. I wrote my statement and went back to class. Later I went back to the office and Mr. Alshire said since "I'm an honest man and it was accident there want be any punishment." Then he said the door was $1500 so I was thinking great how am I ever gonna get that. Then I got lucky once again and he said I want have to pay. Wow i was releived.

Broadview and Graham

2005-05-18T20:43:00.000-04:00

We won both these games by quite a few. Broadview like 7-2 and Graham like 4-0. We finished the season with a 9-3 record. Good season.

Viruses

2005-05-15T20:59:00.000-04:00

Well somehow my downstairs computer got 3 viruses and about 600 ad/spybot things in it. I ran ad-aware once and got 450 critical cases. Then ran spybot and got like 20 things. Then I've been running ad-aware all day and some "VX2" or something like that keeps coming back. I cant find the aurora.exe file which is displaying ads like crazy. I also installed and ran norton antivirus which found 2 viruses and a bunch of other junk. I've already deleted one virus and norton cant figure out how to delete these other viruses. So im on my dell laptop that i got last week until a miracle happens with the other comp.

Bible Study

2005-05-11T18:55:00.000-04:00

For the past couple of months every Wednesday there was a bible study led by a kid at my school. There has never been a problem because it was before school and we had adult supervision. Well today, the day of EOG's, we had a bible study outside because it was really nice and the adult who normally comes couldn't today. She wrote a note to say go outside. The principle drives up and sees us as we're leaving. When we got in the school she called the leader of the bible study up to her office and ranted on about not having adult supervision. The thing is there were two adults within 50 yards that were in plain site. Also we were having a bible study not a gang meeting or something. But anyways our principle gives the leader I.S.S. (in school suspension) Now why would she do that to someone who's never been a problem, never been to ISS, and is the bible teacher. Why doesn't she give everyone out there ISS. It wasn't just him out there. I think it is really unfair and wrong.

Google Adsense

2005-05-09T21:15:00.000-04:00

Well I just got an email from Google saying there was "invailid clicks" on my account. The disabled my account. Does anyone know whether I get the money left in my account, how to get my account back, or a good alternative to Adsense? I just bought a laptop that I was planning on paying with my Adsense money so if anyone knows a good alternative please tell me.

Hawfields and Woodlawn

2005-05-05T20:15:00.000-04:00

Tuesday we played Hawfields. We were down 1-0 at halftime even though we outplayed them. We came out of halftime and scored two quick goals. Then scored another one with not much time left. We won 3-1.
Today we played Woodlawn. We beat them 4-0. It really wasnt that much of a game. We're now 7-3.

Power Point

2005-04-29T20:47:00.000-04:00

Ok so I have a huge decade project due in my social studies class and I need microsoft powerpoint. The project is due in a week and will take me a couple days atleast. I find out today I don't have Microsoft Powerpoint. Then I just figure I'll go and buy it. Its $230!! That makes me mad that microsoft has a monopoly and can do stuff like that. The worst thing is theres really nothing to do about it. If anyone has powerpoint on a disk or knows how to get it cheaper than $230 please tell me.

Southern

2005-04-28T18:14:00.000-04:00

What a bad game. The first goal went through our goalkeepers legs. The second goal was kicked in by our own player.....in the wrong goal. So at halftime we're down by two to the team we beat 3-2 last time. Second half Southern scored there first somewhat true goal. So it was 3-0. Then we got 3 penalty kicks and made all of them but one was called back. So then it was 3-2 and we were finally playing like we normally play. But then for some reason our goalie came out way to far and southern got there 4th goal and it was 4-2. Then they thought they were something and started running there mouths but the ref never said anything to them. Just my luck the one thing i say the whole game the ref heres me. He stops the game comes up to me and threatens me with a red card then started to complain about how annoying our parents were. By then the game was practically over and we lost 4-2. We've won 5 games and lost 3.

Vending Machines

2005-04-24T11:36:00.000-04:00

While looking around the internet I found something interesting. In the San Francisco airport which I've been to theres a new type of vending machine. Next to the ones that sell coke and candy theres one that sales ipods. Why would anyone buy an ipod at an airport out of a vending machine. Its $300 and takes credit cards.

Turrentine

2005-04-21T17:46:00.000-04:00

Wow. We were on there side of the field 70% of the game. We had twice as many shots on goal as them. And with like 6 or 7 mins to go in the second half a kid outside of the 18 yardline....I don't even know if it was a shot.....lobbed it up and somehow it just barely got over our goalies hand and we lost by 1. We played a good game and all but they just got lucky. Hopefully Turrentine will lose to Southern or someone but for now we're 6-2. Only losing to Turrentine.

Hawfields and Graham

2005-04-19T20:09:00.001-04:00

We had two games in two days again and won both. At Hawfields we won 3-0 and against Graham we won 5-0. Both pretty well played games. Now we get one day off then Turrentine....the only team we lost to.

Broadview

2005-04-14T20:44:00.000-04:00

We won our third game in one week. This time is was Broadview and we won like 7-0 or something like that. We are now 3-1 going for number one. Next week we've got three more games.

Southern

2005-04-13T17:54:00.000-04:00

We were up 2-0 at halftime then they came out and scored 2 quick goals so it was tied. Then Nick finally kicked it in and made the winning shot which was his second goal. Final score 3-2. Broadview tomorrow.

Soccer

2005-04-12T20:02:00.000-04:00

We beat Woodlawn like 5-0 or something so we are 1-1. Two more games this week against Broadview and Southern. I'll update sometime later this week.

Xbox 2

2005-04-11T21:24:00.000-04:00

Microsoft won’t play second fiddle to Sony next month, the company tacitly said today. It will launch Xbox 2 in a half-hour show on MTV four days before its rival reveals the PlayStation 3.

Late last week it appeared both companies had planned to launch their respective next-generation consoles on 16 May - a day before the start of the E3 games industry show, natch - at different events in Los Angeles. Sony’s launch was - and still is, we assume - scheduled to take place at 3PM PST. Microsoft’s meeting was booked for 6PM.

Dismissing E3 as a “closed-door, trade-only event”, Microsoft VP Peter Moore said the company wanted to “talk directly to the consumer”.

The televised launch will be hosted by Lord of the Rings star Elijah ‘Frodo’ Wood, and should see sports, movie and music celebrities come on stage to tout the next-generation console’s media and gaming features, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

Microsoft is expected to announce an Autumn ship date for Xbox 2, ahead of the Christmas 2005 sales season. Rival next-generation consoles from Sony and Nintendo are not expected to ship until 2006.

Too Much

2005-04-03T13:21:00.000-04:00

Now I know theres just about every accesorie for your ipod that you can imagine but this is just to much. Podgear has created an accesorie for your ipod that attaches to the top and....it's a shaver. It's called the Podshave. Supposely it works really good to. It even has a little vacuum like thing that will pick up the hair. The Podshave runs right off the ipods battery. Who knows what will be next.

Why not to have an ipod.

2005-03-30T22:28:00.000-05:00

The news has been reporting a lot of Ipod related crimes unrelated to stealing mp3's but Ipod getting physically taken from people.
I see people jogging or riding there bikes enjoying their music with the notorious white headphones on. Some might even have it in their hands spinning that dial with their thumbs, never guessing they are about to get JACKED.
I saw on the internet that someone witnessed this happen on the way to campus and said these guys cornered a girl and just took her Ipod in front of the whole train. I can understand minding your own business, but the other passengers criticized THE VICTIM for even having an Ipod. They got on her case for using her PORTABLE music player.
She just sat there embarrased. I would have started stealing their purses and stuff and saying you shouldn't be carrying handbags if you don't want to get robbed.

I saw this on tasykeish.blogspot.com
BEWARE!

Cellphone

2005-03-26T17:48:00.000-05:00

I finally got my cellphone on friday at southpoint. It's a LG VX7000 video phone. I can watch sports and stuff on it too.

Soccer

2005-03-04T22:54:00.000-05:00

I made the Western Soccer team again and we're going 12-0.

Graham Basketball Game

2005-01-30T19:00:00.000-05:00

We're back on the right track now. We won today and played pretty good. I hit a 3 and got a rebound and steal! It was a good game and the 7th graders finally played. Wenesday we play int he tournament at graham i think.

Broadview Basketball game

2005-01-30T18:59:00.000-05:00

We lost pretty bad. Overall we just played horrible but the tournament is this Wednesday so maybey we'll do better there. Most likey we will play turrentine.

Woodlawn Basketball Game

2005-01-23T11:00:00.000-05:00

Thursday Western played Woodlawn in basketball. It was definitely the wildest game of the season. Woodlawn is the only undefeated team left and there ranked number one and we're number two. The first time we played Woodlawn we lost by 1 or 2(I don't remember). The game on Thursday had everything. A fight nearly broke out, crazy parents, bad refs, and worst of all we lost by two. We were up most of the game until about the last two minutes when one of our key players were ejected. Most likely we will meet Woodlawn in the tournament and when we do we'll win.

Ipod accessories

2004-12-25T13:39:00.000-05:00

Well today's Christmas and I got some accessories for my ipod that I like. I will also mention some other accessories you might want.

If you don't want to listen to your music through headphones there's a few solutions. First you could get an iTrip. It plays your music through any FM radio. Mine has worked very well so far. If you don't want to play your music through your car or stereo with your iTrip you could get speakers. There are many different types of speakers that your ipod can hook directly up to. My favorites are the Bose speakers but if there to expensive then JBL or Altec Lansing makes some good ones. I have the iTrip and speakers at the links below.

Another accessory I got was an Evo ipod case. Its a black rubber protective case that covers the ipod. It fits very nice and snug. It also is a lot easier to grip and protects your ipod very well. It comes with a screen protector to. There are many many more "skins" for the ipod if your interested just look at some of the links below.

There are a whole lot more of accessories like docks, voice recorders, special cables,travelers packages. Ipod has its own market and if you want to find the best accessories u would suggest to go to ipod.com.

If there's any accessories you like leave a comment.

Bic Pens

2004-12-19T14:50:00.000-05:00

Everyone knows what a Bic pen is. Its just a regular cheap normal ink pen. Whoever knew it could do so much more than just write...

The U-shaped steel bike locks that cyclists have relied on for years to keep thieves at bay just had a gigantic hole blown through their reputation, as bike lock maker Kryptonite scrambled to reassure customers that it is working on a solution.

The New York Daily News reported Friday that an Internet video has surfaced showing how to pick one of the most secure locks known to cyclists: stick the non-writing end of a Bic pen into the cylinder-shaped key hole and twist.

Although the trick apparently works on many locks with tubular cylinder technology including vending machines and some ignitions, it's the bike industry's best known locksmith, Kryptonite, that's feeling most of the heat.

Ipod

2004-12-18T22:12:00.000-05:00

Well just about everyone is getting an ipod of some type and i have found some cool things you can do with your ipod. An ipod is more than just another music player. You can use it as an external hardrive to store any information on your computer. Theres also some more useful and not so useful applications.
iMsafe is a software program that with the click of a few buttons everything on your computer can be backed up on your ipod. Movies, songs, passwords, documents, and everything else. Although only useful with mac right now a windows version should come out sooner or later.
If you use windows and always forget things to do then you'll love this. Meant for business people its still useful for other things. You can back up your address book and appointments with a program called iPodSync. It connects to Outlook and stores your contacts, tasks, notes, and calendar on your iPod. You can then access the data from your ipod screen, too.
Im not sure that thi would be that helpful but if you have credit cards or anything that you need to keep secret hear you go. Pariahware's Pod Secret, for Mac and Windows, allows you to store encrypted notes on the iPod, which can help you keep your plans for whatever secret.
If you cant stand reading your email then this will help. Whenever you want to read your email you can, with your ipod. PodMail for the Mac and K-pod for Windows will connect your iPod directly to your email server. This gets all your email and puts them onto your ipod to read whenever you want.
Not enough? EarMail goes one further and reads mail to you. You will never have to read email again.
Need directions, look to your ipod. PodQuest for Mac right now. Give two addresses, it will download driving directions to your ipod. Then read it on your ipod and go.
Pod2Go will download the latest weather for wherever you're going, also horoscopes, local movie times, stock prices and song lyrics.
For karoake with your ipod there is LyriPod. It is a specialist application for song lyrics. Download your favorite song lyrics and read them as the song plays.
Theres more, Podtender with its 900 cocktail recipes and PodGourmet, has more than 260 recipes. Both work on Mac or PC.
Also for the religious thers BiblePod. It allows the transfer of sections of the King James Bible formatted for the iPod's tiny screen.
Probably the most pointless unuseful application is pPod. Find teh closest toilet in London on your ipod for whenever you have to go.
For college you can dowload your professors speach and lecture using "OpenCourseWare initiative aims to put all of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's course materials online, including MP3s of lectures" that thing. Coming in the near future.
Another intersting application is iSpeakIt which will read any document to you, even those in Word and PDF, so all the copyright-free e-books on the web can be thrown on to your iPod. In other words you can get audiobooks for free. Audiobooksforfree.com has plenty of other good listening, too, and the whole atmosphere is encouraging others to record audiobooks.
No matter what everyone says im pretty sure other mp3 players cant do all this.
There are also hacks for your ipod that arent very useful but the link is below if you would like to look there.
