A lot has happened since the last time I have updated (noting that the last time I updated was close a half a year or better). So, I guess that it is time that I started typing eh? First and foremost, I must tell about my recent technology "gulosh" (This was made up to represent the word Gumbo). I would like to focus my attention to the new Google Apps. Although I have not yet tried it, I would most certinaly recommend anyone for it. The use of having normal office applications, email, and instant messaging is something that schools and technology oriented families should have a great fun day with.
The next thing that has caught my attention over the past few weeks, or should I say week, would be Halo 3. Now, this is a HUGE thing in the world of gaming. The YouTube videos and screen shots that have admired have proven to me that this game could be a ball buster. The HUD is truly realistic in the manor that it looks as though you are looking through Master Chief's helmet. I have also enjoyed glancing at the new levels that Bungie has created just for Halo 3.
I can only put it into these words from Paul Thurrott, "Thank you, Bungie. Thank you so much."
The one amazing thing about the new Halo would have to be that it is not coming out for another couple months. This only leaves room for the utmost improvement. I can not wait to purchase the game and experiance it for myself.
WINDOWS VISTA CAME OUT! I was so exicited for this announcment and now it is here for the public to use. Although when I used Vista RC1 there were many problems with compatability and networking, the release seemed to work much easier than the RC. Microsoft should have consolidated some of the versions though. For example, Vista Home Basic and Home Premium could have been one version. All of the others had their distentions that made them what they are.
Of course, I have to nag on Apple for a few moments. Now, you Apple fans do not get me wrong at all, I really enjoyed Apple until my iPod died after 11 months of use. This did not make me upset, but the fact that Apple did not have any reference to my serial number at all made me lose interest in their products. Their newest product that bugged me (no, not the iPhone) was the AppleTV. I really think that is overdoing it. Why not just buy a TiVo? It has been out for a few years and they have worked many of the kinks out of it. If you think of purchasing the AppleTV, look a TiVo.
I think that is enough of technology stuff. I went to Gettysburg with my scouting troop and what
a hike that was. That was the longest hike I think that I have ever taken. I was reading the program and it said that we passed approximately 1,300 statues, all dedicated to the different units and states. That was simply amazing. Little Round Top and Devil's Den were by far the better parts of the tour. We stopped to eat at a place called "General Pickett's Buffet." Let me just say this, do not eat there. Ever. ever. That food was not good at all. Overall, the trip was delightful and we all had fun. I am glad that I went and I am sure the boys who did would say the same thing.
Earlier in May, I went to Huntington to help Ashley move out of her dorm at Marshall University. That was fun, this was very true during the way there. I went with her mom and grandmother and they would talk about the most random things. The conversations that lasted the whole way there. Of course Ashley was afraid of us being there late so we rushed down. We did not know that we would be 45 minutes early! Oh well, I enjoyed helping her and taking a break. After the clean up and we were done working, we took a brief tour of the campus. I wanted to see where I was staying next year so we walked to the lobby of the dorm building. Finally, we ate at my favorite place to get wings, Hooter's. We then returned home and unpacked her stuff.
Well, I will update later. I am tired. See ya!
