This is the future...this is what we are going towards...a computer news world where we create the content and it is personalized for each user. Google and Amazon merge creating Googlezon ...MSN buys Friendster and createst MSN Newsbotster, and eventually in the year 2014 The New York Times goes offline.

Very spooky and very realistic..this could be the future we are building for oursevles...

 Googlezon

BTW This was created by the Pointer Institute...they are the ones responsbile for USA Today's success..as well as many other HUGE news organizations....they are based out of Tampa Bay, Fl.


Well, I got in my TV-B-GONE...and I went to go use it at place that sells electronics....I wasn't using the device properly though, I was holding down the button, which I come to find out is not the right way to do it...oh well...I will have to try later...It is pretty cool and worth the few bucks it costs...I can't wait to be at a bar and use it. Make sure to check out the Engadget video where they use it at a Best Buy.

So, a while ago I created my wish list with pictures and links to all the items I want this year. Well one of the items was this shirt that has secret pockets for your tech gadgets.... Well, I was checking my referers list for my site and this one pops up. I'm like hmm that's kinda wierd that a company that I want to buy something from is refering people to my site....

Well I go to their site....and there is a link to my site...my Wish List...featured on their site...with the likes of other MAJOR tech sites..like Engadget, Mobile Review, etc. There is a thing to submit your site, but I never did...My site just appeared there. So, my question is ...why don't they send me a free shirt?? It's the least they could do for me advertising for their site...now twice...
.

I'm a size Large and I like the white t-shirt...so Konyono if you want to send me a free shirt, send it to my PO Box....I'll write up a nice big review for your product...

Well time again we look back upon the weekend that was...

Oceans12Friday - Well, Friday I had to work late so the evening didn't start until 7pm. But eventually Eric and Nate went out for some "diet beers" at Moon Under the Water out on Beach Drive. Eric and Nate haven't had a drink in well over a year so having a Long Island and Jack and Coke made them pretty happy.... We went to go see Oceans 12 after that. I like what Sarah Lane said, "Well, it wasn't spectacular, but it also wasn't terrible." That is exactly how I felt about the movie.

After that we went to Whataburger ..and it was LATE...I didn't get home till like 4am...and they had to drive home from my place after that...yikes..



Saturday - After the late night, I woke up around 10 and went in to work for a few hours to knock out a few pressing issues. Then just went to the parents house for a bit to get some dvd's to copy to go out as gifts (hopefully no one is reading this who is getting one lol). Well, the evening got quite a bit more interesting.

"Art We went to The Pier for an art show, as that my friend Mark's friend owns the place. It was okay, nothing spectacular.The thing about the event that made it memorable, was that I ran into someone who I went to high school with (she was a freshman when I was a junior). Her name is Katie and she goes to UCF, but is in town for a month. So, we talked for quite sometime, and in the end I got her number and will give her a call sometime...although not too sure when I have free time...This week is only a 3 day week for me....remember I'm going to Boston on Thursday.


As if the evening wasn't going well enough so far...we went to a Christmas Party for Campus Crusades a few blocks from The Pier. When I go inside, I see Tawnya....my very first girlfriend..and all around hottie. I walk over to her and she is COMPLETLY dumbfounded...mainly because I don't go to the sponsor school and don't attend Campus Crusades. My friends Mark and Kita all pretty much know everyone there and that is how I got invited. So, that was an okay event..they played a derivation of "Dirty Santa" called "White Elephant"...same rules....although I wasn't informed to bring a gift so I didn't participate...even though there were extra gifts.

So, we left there and went back to Mark's condo for a few. Kita wanted to go get something to eat...and brought Jimmy and Smelley with her...I eventually decided to show up.... (Side Note: I don't remember the other guy's name, but he had some of the worst BO ever..hence the nick-name)....that went okay, and Kita and I ended up talking up a storm for quite some time.

Sunday - I worked on some school stuff, went to my parents and helped her with the DVD's. Watched the Bucs game..sigh...why are they repeating last year? Oh well. Desperate Housewives was AMAZING...twist after twist...what a show....Also, Boston Private was really good too. I haven't watched Survivor yet to see who won, so don't tell me....I will watch that tonight

So that was my weekend...highs and lows....but I can't wait for Thursday!!!
