Why you should by expensive objects online instead of shopping local.

Buying an expensive objects cost a lot of money. Of course it cost a lot of money because it is expensive. I am going to tell you why you shouldn't buy local and I would rather have you buy online. If you buy something expensive at a store and you see the receipt, you will see over $200 dollars of state tax on your item! On Amazon you can just buy the expensive item and get free shipping with no tax. Plus you can buy a SquareTrade warranty if possible with the left over no tax money. That's the only reason why our family doesn't shop local, you always get the latest deals and no tax! Plus quality service when your object is inoperable. Very simple and convenient to return a item on Amazon. Anyway on Amazon you can always find stuff for like a DSLR that regular stores don't have. Like a Lexar 1000x CF 32GB card! Oh I think that BestBuy carries that.. Just buy your expensive things from the seller Amazon LLC or something that has very high ratings. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Do you eat the same food everyday?

Do you usually eat the same thing everyday? Or do you eat the same stuff usually every week? If the answer is yes. I have a solution for you. I know that you are bored of eating the same stuff every week. And this is a problem because usually when this problem happened to me, I almost freaked about. Then I asked? Can we go to the Grocery store and actually get something different for all of our sakes. Something that will last quite a while and something that will please my taste-buds so my brain doesn't freak out. I usually get the items I wanted. And make sure you make a list of the stuff that you want, or the people you shop with will be mad at you. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Minecraft for Xbox 360.

I have just heard that a new update came to Minecraft for the Xbox 360 recently. It came out maybe about 5 or more days ago. The update contains a package that makes the game the comparable in specs of features. It has all the new features that the PC has except some stuff. I have found the new features of the new update, It's update 7 of the game. Here is the link of the game update features that you may have expected from the Xbox 360 V of this game. I just bought the game yesterday, and this game is amazing. Plus it's a game that the whole family likes including you. This is actually a game that you can play with people and have fun for hours and hours on end. I love creating new buildings and bridges, and blowing stuff with TNT in creative mode. The splitscreen mode of this game is very important to me. Without the splitscreen mode, I would've have not have bought this game. Playing with friends and family makes the game fun sometimes when you are bored. Or you can play solo and it's very fun still because sometimes you get tired of playing with the same person for many hours and you just want to play by yourself for once. That's how I feel sometimes. You can buy this with Microsoft points and it cost $50 dollars for 4,000 points. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day and buy this game if you have the chance and if you are interested.

Why do people still think that Video games contribute to violence?

Why do people still think that Video games contribute to violence? I believe that "Violent" video games are not dangerous to play or brings terror to other people that are around the people that play violent video games. Like me I guess. People that play video games like me know and we feel that if we do all these bad things in real life like video games, It would bring real devastation in our hands. And a lot of parents don't know how we feel because they never play video games themselves. You actually have to try it or you shouldn't even be able to judge it. It's not like parents teaching their kids how to hunt! A lot of parents teach their kids how to hunt and that is way of a lot worse than video games that have a little bit of shooting in them. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

What is the possibility of getting more manufacturing jobs from Asia to the US?

What is the possibility of getting more manufacturing jobs from China to the US? This is a hard mission for us. If I was big CEO of a computer company or a phone company, I would think to myself, should I bring jobs back into the US? I would think no because their are to many regulations and people don't have the great manufacturing mentality as the Chinese people do that work at the plants. Plus a lot of the manufacturing done in China is very toxic to the health of the workers in the US and it's hard to pass by when people are dieing from your manufacturing plants. What I am saying right now is that as of now America is to clean to expensive and their are to many rules. That's why we don't have that many jobs right now. Because of minimum wage, working mentality, and we are too clean. If we really want jobs from China to the US, we will need all these factors to be the opposite. We are way to spoiled to work like the Chinese or any other region in Asia. I see only the possibility of the expensive products being worked on here like cars, and computers. I think the products has to be worth more than $4,000 dollars to get a product manufactured here for massed production. We have to many standard standards and our standards our decreasing our job rate productivity. I am sorry, but this is how I think about the US. To many regulations and we are too spoiled.... We just don't want our country to be toxic like some parts of Asia. These are my thoughts on Manufacturing jobs from Asia. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Instagram now wants to sell your photos without your permission?

Facebook bought Instagram for in September for $715.3 million, $300 million of it in cash and the rest in stock. We should've known that something was up with Facebook buying this app for a lot of money. Now I guess that Facebook wants to sell photos without permission from the users that use this application. I can't even believe that they even suggested this idea. The users are worried that they would sell their photos for ads. Even though I am reading a new article from CBS that says on their article title "Instagram says users' photos won't appear in ads". I don't know a lot of big companies are very secretive and I never trust a big company especially if they publicize it out-loud. I feel bad for the users that started using the app before Facebook bought it. It must be very hard for them to see the terms changing like that. I really just think that they should just put ads on the app. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Feels great to be in my clean room.

Cleaning your room or your whole house or wherever you live in is important. When I cleaned my room, I removed a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't know that it was even there. It took me about 4 hours to clean my room and now it's very clean. The only thing that I have to fix is painting my room and getting the Rug-Doctor machine for our house. So our carpets look nice and clean again. The atmosphere is a lot better after cleaning my room, I feel like I can think more clearly after cleaning it. And it just feels good just having a very clean room. If you don't have a clean room, clean it if you can because you will feel a lot happier if you can clean it. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Done with one semester of Korean 101.

Taking this Korean course was very interesting because this is the first time that I got immersed into a foreign language. The Korean language course really opened my mind up because I know why people learn a second language. It opens your mind up and opens your world and brings it closer to you. Learning a second language for me is a very good opportunity because it is probably better to experience different countries rather than just one. That's what I think. Just living in one place is not enough for me. I think that people don't travel enough around the world. Not enough people go to Asia and study there. Asia is coming to use and we are not coming to them. There is really no balance for this to workout. We have to expand into different cultures before they make us invade their culture. That's why learning a language is important. Learning a language opens your mind, makes opportunities, and it is good for the world. There are not enough Americans in Asia.

You can never stop learning from Photography.

You always have something else to learn in Photography. And I would think that a lot of pro photographers would have the same opinion as me. If you don't think that you don't have anything new to learn about photography, you have never looked at photography seriously. If you did look at photography seriously, you would always think that you would have something to learn how to take photos in different formats. What I mean is that you should be always be trying something new with Photography. Like use a flash a different way or use different shutter speeds. Because all these little factors that seem small to us when we talk about it is very very big. All these aspects of photography shouldn't be left out. It's like trying to drink a hot coffee on a really hot day instead of adding ice. Adding ice to coffee is rather enticing and tasty in my opinion. Please just look at YouTube videos and take photos. If you learn something new or make very big mistakes at a convention like I did, just embrace your mistakes into perfection later on. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I want to explore.

I want to explore. Not just stay in one place. What I mean by mean I don't wanna just stay in one place is that I want to try a whole bunch of things before I die. You can may have a time cap we don't know what that time cap is because every person dies at a different time. Except when you get ran over with someone at the same time or something. What I am saying is that we only have a certain amount of time to do things that we actually do things that you want. If you are not doing things that you don't want to do, stop everything and do something for yourself. Make something for yourself and even for other people. Make a product and be what you want right now. If you don't have any money like me right now, I have a couple of pointers that I want to give you. Did you hear of www.kickstarter.com? Raise money on this website to create and be part of your dream. I think it's free to sign up so do what you have to do to get the money. Find a investor or find a website that I just gave you. Make your dream, don't just keep it in.

Bartering before class.

I tried something new yesterday morning. Maybe because I drank coffee or it's just me. I talked to my fellow classmates before our Korean language class started. I was so weird today, I even bartered for some mechanical pencil lead. Well I wanted to trade a very nice (Pentel) pen ( made in Japan! ) for a new mechanical pencil because I highly value pencils over pens. It's really nice to have something that is not dark and unmessy and it pencils can erase stupid errors. Someone in class gave me 3 lead refills, and I just gave the pen to the woman I was trying to barter with. I could be a good salesmen though because I said while bartering ( This may be due to instructive memory ) " These pens to leave space gaps in the things you write in, they are very nice and they are made in Japan. For two I think it cost $2.50... This is my favorite type of pen. And you can even by refills online! Response: Oh really! (: Yep...." Then I got lead from someone that had led refills and I just let that woman that looked at me pen for bartering have the pen. It's kind of weird to take a small object away because a barter deal didn't come through. I got what I wanted anyway. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Also I even showed how to refill the pen if you buy refills!

Why you should disable Adblock Plus on certain websites.

People download Adblock Plus for blocking ads on YouTube and Facebook. But people like me really get used to this addon so much that we hardly notice it blocking other ads on other websites. If you are on a website that your really love and not many people go on the website, you should disable Adblock plus to see if they have okay enough ads that you can handle. A lot of times many people base their lives on their website they have created. Some are very well viewed and some have just started. A lot of people put ads on their website to get a little more money so they can still be in the condition they are still in. And you should also disable the Adblocker program also on sometimes on some very well viewed websites also so you let them earn a little money off you to support their service to you.

I am going to have a good Christmas.

Having a good Christmas doesn't have to be good. It can be bad and it can also be very good. Right now I just appreciate that I am even living on this earth. We have so many good things to enjoy. We have eyesight, ears, fingers to type and play videos on our electronic devices, and relationships. We have to think about not just the product we are using, we have to think about our eyes and ears and hands can use the awesome product. The biggest thing that I value are my eyes. Being able to see is amazing because their are so many colors and things to touch that we see with our eyes. Without being able to see we won't be able to see what we touch. A product a building or something that has a very interesting texture is very valuable when you can see it. Thank you for reading my blog and I hope your have a very nice Christmas even though you may not have enough money to buy your family or friends lot of gifts. But still enjoy.

Canon BG-E6 batteries last a long time.

These BG-E6 batteries for certain camera models like the Canon 5D Mark II, 7D, and 60D are astounding. These batteries really last a long time in the field while shooting tons of photos. I am pretty sure that the battery will last long enough to take enough pictures to fill about two 32GB CF cards with only one battery. I always have a rule for taking care of the batteries. I always charge them when the charge is 25% or less. The reason why is that I think that you should drain the batteries to at least 25% percent before charging them so they will last longer in the future while shooting your photos. I think two batteries will last you for a day if you are shooting like a crazy person with unlimited memory. I have always taken more photos then I need to take. The things you need for your camera are good lenses, batteries, CF cards, and a card reader if you don't have one built in your computer system. This is really all your need for shooting. I recommend that you should bring only two lenses or just one with your while walking around and taking photos. I really don't like carrying an extra lens. Carrying an extra lens just puts you down faster. Make sure that most of the time when you don't need two lenses. You only bring one. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Learning a foreign language gets easier over time.

I have been taking Korean courses for maybe 2-3 months now. The first couple weeks I didn't really know what to expect in the future. Then the new few weeks after that made me really surprised how behind I was in the class. I was kind of disappointed with myself for a day, but I thought to myself that you can just learn this language over time. You can't learn a language in just a few weeks / months. You have to put time into things or it won't come through to you. I am not disappointed with myself anymore because I have many years left to learn Korean. I am in the last weeks of my class and I feel more immersed in the class than when I just started. I have to admit that I didn't study to well the first few weeks that I was in the class, and I noticed that mistake very shortly. It's not really a big deal to me because you can always learn this stuff by yourself on your own time. And this class is based on self-learning. If you can't self-learn you can't pass this class. I am a lot happier now that I have noticed this fact. The fact that you can learn this language during the years of your life. And they have so much resources that you can learn off. They have really good YouTube videos on learning the Korean language. The only thing that I have to say to you guys is that you have to put hours and hours into learning a foreign language and actually speaking it. And I hope you can learn your foreign language for a good purpose. Not just for the sake of learning it.... Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Use custom picture styles with your Canon camera.

I love using custom picture styles with my Canon 5D Mark II. Custom picture styles that I use are not made by me. It's made by better people that spend a lot of time making picture styles. I really like Kodachrome picture style. It's a really nice custom picture style and I never got disappointed using this picture style. You can find a lot of picture styles on this website: ( http://www.cinema5d.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3401&start=80 ). This website has a lot of experienced photographers on the forum. I trust them very much with my camera and you should also enjoy their picture styles that they had made. You can also download this very awesome picture style that is superflat so you can colorgrade better and get better dynamic range when you are recording video or taking pictures with your DSLR. It's called the technicolor picture style and you can get it here:  https://www.technicolorcinestyle.com/download/ ).

Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Using a PC keyboard on my imac.

Using a PC keyboard on the Mac is a very nice experience. You don't need a keyboard that is spacifically for the mac. You just need a regular PC keyboard with a USB connection. If you can find a keyboard with these options you are set to go. When you connect your PC keyboard to your computer, it window pops up and it says to select what can of keyboard you are using. Like if it's a US keyboard or a Japanese keyboard. Then you just select the USA button then you press finish. Then you just use your keyboard from there. One downfall is that you can't use your function keys like volume because it doesn't work with a regular keyboard that is not made for mac. But everything else then that con everything has been a good experience. I am using two keyboards right now, a apple numeric keyboard with 2 USB ports and I just connected my PC keyboard to the other keyboard. This keyboard is awesome to type with and I hope you do the same if you don't like Apple keyboards like I do. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The number 1 reason why you need a 50mm lens.

The most crucial thing about this lens is. Can you guess? It's the low-light performance. This lens works so great indoors because a lot of times a f/4 can't handle a dimly lit house. The 50mm has a aperture of 1.4! This is spectacular because the more light that your lens can take in means better quality photos. The 50mm lens is a great lens for things like parties, portraits, landscape, and lowlight conditions. This lens is great if you don't really need a really big zoom range. If you need a big zoom range try to get the 70-200mm 2.8 Canon lens.

The best reason why you shouldn't switch to a Mac.

I am going to tell you how I feel right now about Macs. The good thing about a Mac to me is that a Mac has an astounding record on reliability. That's why my family doesn't like PC's, because they kind of have problems with reliability, but it's mostly our faults that our computers break because we want a bang for the buck for PC's.

Anyway onto the point about why you switch to Mac. Please trust me on this... Macs don't have the Business feel as a PC has. It just feels like a computer that you just watch Netflix on and just a computer that you fool around with online. If your PC crashed in the past, you either have bad luck picking a computer or you don't look at the reviews or your are not using the right antivirus software out their. If you don't use antivirus software, your computer will be doomed from the real world out. They have many people out their that just want to make viruses and other things like Trojan just to earn money. Money is everywhere, and people find it on their own basis.

Really trust me on this. I get more serious things down with a old PC than the imac I have on my desk for doing things. PC's just have that kind of feeling to it. PC's make doing work fun while using a Mac you just want to fool around.

I think I know why this is happening to me, I really don't like the operating system. The operating system is very boring to me, and it doesn't offer you any fun things that comes with the operating system. Also the visuals of the operating system, not the graphics, are really boring. It's just a plain dock and a finder that is really boring. I think that's why people like me fool around on Macs a lot. It's because the operating system is very boring for your eyes. Here I solved you case. Just install Avast Internet Security the best antivirus right now in my opinion, and buy a decently priced computer that is not too cheap and you will be okay. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Tips for starting out with a DSLR.

When I got my first DSLR, it was like a alien product to me. I didn't know how to use it correctly and just used full auto mode for a couple months. I am going to tel you the secrets on how to learn your camera.

Please look at YouTube tutorials. If you don't look at YouTube videos that teach you how to take better photos, and teaches you how to use you camera. You will be doomed with a alien product. You want your alien product that you don't know how to use to be less foreign to you. First I would update the firmware on your camera, If you don't upgrade your firmware of your camera, there are more chances of complications with your camera. Please look up ______ the camera model and then how to update firmware. You camera might not have firmware. But if you have a camera that can have different lenses, it is safe to say that model will have some firmware updates available.

Also just learn how to setup your camera to your liking, if you don't set up your camera, like changing the picture style, or changing how your camera functions a bit, you are not getting immersed enough in the experience.

Work from full auto, aperture priority, then manual. These modes are the modes I use the most. I use manually 94% of the time, because it's so adjustable. Usually full auto just ruins the picture.

Get multiple batteries, memory cards that has more than 16GB and a fast enough speed like 60mb per sec.

Also get an editing program like Photoshop and Lightroom.

Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

What I am going to do with the time of my life?

I just noticed this year how time goes so fast. I believe that time goes to a faster limit every year you get older. Maybe we think that time is going faster and faster, and maybe it's because that when we were really young that, our brains weren't as sensitive to time as of now. They say that our brains aren't fully developed until the age of 25. And maybe the age of 25 is the time sensitively cap. Maybe our brains develop like this because the faster the time goes, the faster we move and think. Maybe that's how we were made to be.

Learning a foreign language shouldn't be easy for most people.

If you think that learning a foreign language is extremely easy you are wrong. If you just started out learning foreign languages, it should be a little easy at first. Then a couple weeks later you should be struggling with the grammar and the culture of the language. Right now I am learning Korean. People say learning Korean is very easy, it is easy in a certain way. But it's not really that easy because of the culture of the language. The culture of the language I think is the most important aspect of learning a new language. You don't want to be wronged when saying bad grammar. In the language I am learning now, has 4 verb endings for different situations. Formal, informal formal, informal, and dictionary form. This is kind of complicated switching back and forth between these verb endings. I often get really confused with the endings but I am still in the process of learning these endings. Also you have to know how to speak your language, you should not just be reading and writing it. You should be speaking it. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Going to get a hard drive replacment for my 27 inch 2009 imac.

I have just figured out that my hard drive is currently being recalled by apple. They say the affected hard drive in the imac from 2009 to 2011 model have a very big chance in failing under certain conditions. This is very interesting. I never thought that I would be in this situation of being in a part of a recall for my imac. I never really seen any problems or weird things happen to my imac for a long time. I never had a hard drive problem for this computer. I am still going to get the new hard drive anyway because it's always better not to take chances like this. Anyway I kind of want to install Mountain Lion on my computer anyway. I don't really like being out of date on operating systems that much. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The Canon 50mm 1.4 is amazing!

I can't tell you. I can't tell you how much I love this lens. This lens is truly remarkable for every Canon user. Every Canon user that has a DSLR should have a 50mm. This lens is very different than most lenses because of it's low aperture. Using apertures from 1.6 to 2.8 is a experience that you would never forget. This lens brings out so many good pictures and so many people are missing out on a experience of using apertures as low as f/1.4. The auto-focus is very good on this lens, although you might have a hard time auto-focusing when you are using a large aperture like 1.4. Because it may focus on the wrong point. Also I would buy a UV filter for the lens. It protects your lens from dust and scratches or even cracks for a cheap price. Also it doesn't wreck your image quality. Buy a 50mm lens if you have a DSLR if you don't have it. You won't regret it. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The only thing you can do to learn a foreign language.

I have been going to Korean courses at UW-Milwaukee. I am auditing the course because I am still a youngling. I am 14 and homeschooled. I have been going to class for 5 weeks so far. I will tell you from my experiences with learning a foreign language it that you have to spend lots and lots of time learning a language that you don't know. It's like you learning words from being a toddler to adult. It takes about 8 years to develop you language capability. Everything takes time and you have to spend the time on foreign language or anything else. Another way to learn a foreign language faster is to go to a country that speaks your foreign language and practice it there. That's the best way to learn the language, by going to a country that speaks the foreign language that you are learning. If you don't have this option, just keep working at it. I promise you, it's like learning how to drive a car and memorizing directions to go to places. You have to spend plenty of time learning a foreign language. So keep working at it if you don't get it. Take courses and you will figure out that you just have to spend a lot of time on the language you are learning. I highly recommend courses for people that start out learning a foreign language that they don't know anything about. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Getting my Canon 50mm 1.4 with ES71II Lens Hood soon.

Pretty soon my Canon 50mm 1.4 with the official lens hood is going to come in from the mail carrier. I am very excited to get this lens, so I can have another lens in my collection. I only have 1 lens right now, it's the Canon 24-105mm f/4 lens. I really love the 24-105 and I am happy to say that it's not going to be alone anymore. My only lens will now have some company over. And also for me it's a benefit. Here are some images of 50mm 1.4 and the lens hood.









As you can see,

The 50mm 1.4 has a metal mount instead of a cheap plastic mount that the Canon 50mm 1.8 has.

All I can say right now is that I am prepared to get the lens.

Clean your microfiber cloths.

If you use your microfiber cloth a lot or you used it on something really dirty, clean it. If you don't clean your microfiber cloth, you just spread on all the dirt and oil around on a different part of your object. Most people don't know that you can clean your microfiber. I am going to tell you how. First you should buy a good microfiber cloth that doesn't lint very much. Buy a very good microfiber cloth online with good reviews. Also second is that when you store your microfiber, I recommend that you put it in a clean plastic bag after you are done cleaning it. If you want to clean your microfiber cloth, I would was it with your dishes. Just rub your microfiber cloth in your dishwater then rinse it off with warm water after you are done. Then you will have to dry your microfiber. You can hair dry it or you can let it sit out on something warm like a radiator. Then after it dry make sure you put it in a sandwich bag or something so you don't have extra dust on your cleaned microfiber just by leaving it out. Also I put my filters for my 50mm 1.4 in a plastic bag so it doesn't get dirty for no reason. So clean your microfiber is you notice extra stuff "going on the object" when it supposed to be clean. Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you enjoy this tip.

Getting the Canon 50mm 1.4!

I am finally getting a new lens for my camera! This is great news because a new lens brings a new experience for yourself and your camera. The only lens that I have right now is the 24-105mm f/4 lens. I love this lens and everything about it is great, but I wish that it had a f/ of f/2.8. I bought the 50mm 1.4 because it has low light performance, bokeh, versatility, and it has a fixed focal length. Also I want to add lenses to my collection so I can use my present lenses in the future. I am very excited. I recommend that you buy the 50mm 1.4 instead of the 1.8 because the 1.8 can get stuck on your camera and break in 15 days. It's because the 50mm 1.8 has a plastic mount instead of a metal mount. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I consider myself lucky.

I consider myself lucky, because I was born in such a good family. Also I have no health conditions or any other little things that can go wrong with the human body. I have a computer, Xbox 360, DSLR, and I am Homeschooled. Only a certain amount of people can have their kids Homeschooled because most parents don't have the time or money to have their kids Homeschooled. Also most people don't even think about having their kids being Homeschooled. Overall I am generally just a happier and more positive kind of person because I didn't let the negative bureaucratic system touch my mind. Having a good mind is everything, or you don't have anything. You can't let yourself go down with negative thinking so much. You just have to enjoy your life because I guess you only have 1. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Cold weather makes my computer cool during operation.

My computer is really cool right now, even though I have watched tons of flash content. I will tell you why my computer is really cool. It's because that I have a fall season in our state Wisconsin. I think it's about 67 or 68 degrees in our house even though the heat is turned on because we like to save money instead of wasting it on heating our house really well. It makes sense to me that my mac is running cooler during our season because it's like a winter vacation for the computer. My computer is breathing nice and perfect air because of the temperature. My computer is a little warm but not that hot. I am happy about this! Also I fixed my xbox 360 from freezing again by removing the cable box from under it and lifting the DVD player under it so the cable box is under the cable box. It's like a heat buffer from the cable box because it runs very hot. Also we had a Wii on my Xbox and that just gave my xbox extra heat on the top. So I removed the Wii and I put it in the media dresser. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I love Google Translate.

Google Translate is such a wonderful tool! This Google app is really useful for learning languages and decoding documents in different languages. This tool really makes you more efficient than rather just using a book for decoding words because it's faster and it also says the word out loud for you. For me it's useful because I can decode the Korean questions in my workbook with the app. It helps a lot with language homework. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Make your own test while learning a second language.

I just started taking Korean courses at UW-Milwaukee for about a week and a half now. What I've noticed is that I studied kind of wrong for a while. I just used flash cards, worksheets from online, and a browser game. The only thing that was missing was? It was self test. The thing that I noticed when I got almost everything wrong on the test, I noticed that I didn't study right. What I've noticed was that I needed to make a test with audio from now on. So I made a audio test for myself and the first test was with all the consonants and with the vowel ㅏ. I got 7 out of 14 wrong first. The second attempt I got 10 out of 14 wrong. My point is when you learn a foreign language make audio file test for yourselves. Also buy workbooks and follow YouTube videos. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Trying to memorize the Korean alphabet.

The first thing you do when you learn a language is to learn the alphabet of the language. If you don't know the alphabet, you are never going to know the language structure. I think this is the hardest part of learning a language, because you have to memorize how to write and say the alphabet and then mix them all together and say it in different ways. Tomorrow I have a test on Korean. I will try my best to prepare for the test. I am finding lots of resources like worksheets and videos. The worksheets with the videos helps very much. All I know is that the more time you spend on something, the better you get at. So I just have to keep studying Korean until I memorize all the sounds and memorize all the writings of the Korean alphabet. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I am now taking Korean 101 courses.

I am now finally taking Korean courses. I am very grateful that I am able to take courses so I can learn the Korean as my second language. I am taking these courses at UW-Milwaukee. I never known that Korean is so easy to learn. The only problem that is in your favor is memorization. Most people like me needs lots of time to remember all this stuff to be able to learn Korean by yourself. If you know the Korean alphabet, I think you would be able to learn it by yourself very easily. But if you still have the chance to take another Korean course and you already know the Korean alphabet go ahead. I really think that you can never take enough courses. Also use your Korean in Korea when you have a chance to go there. The best place to learn Korean is Korea. Also make a Korean friend so you can practice your Korean with he or she. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Thinking about business ideas.

I have been thinking a lot lately. For a short period of time for a business idea. I never have never seen myself in my dreams working for someone. I think I always wanted to start my own business because I can work on my own pace, and I can do all the things I want to do. You don't have to be a genius for starting your own business. But you have to be a genius on starting a business. I already have a idea that can change my life forever. I just need help. You can't start a successful business by yourself most of the time. You always need help. I feel like my "Online Business" will take more than a couple years to put out a product so people can try it. Most likely this kind of stuff is unpredictable.. I think you just have to try things to be a real entrepreneur. It may only take one try, but it may take many tries. The verdict is that I am going to be a successful entrepreneur. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Firefox 15 seems more snappier.

I always loved Firefox. (: It's just getting better and better every month or two. They have made a whole bunch of improvements to improve the Firefox experience for users like us and programmers. The update "Firefox 15" seems to make the pages load quicker than I have ever seen before. I'm in love with this browser and here are the release notes.( http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/15.0/releasenotes/ ) here you can find what the update did. The performance really shows on my old laptop that has 1GB of ram! The memory factor is really important. Google Chrome just hogs all your memory and takes a lot of memory for cache also. I really recommend that you download the new Firefox version today. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I need to make a idea.

I decided this month, that I am not going to be a worker. Being worker to me is like being a slave. Most people die with less than a thousand dollars in their account. I also want to work on my own time. I feel like people lose a lot of freedom when people work for people. Also you only get what you get when you work. I need to make a idea so I can build upon this idea, and it could be worth millions of dollars. Why would you work when you can work on your own time and earn tons more money off you idea? Being a worker is not a bad thing. If you want to feel comfy while working for someone go ahead. I think people work for people because they feel secure because you get a guaranteed check every week or two. I want to be one of those people that are on the edge for a while, then the idea turns into a boom and your rich. Then you can make more and more products with the money you already earned. I think making your own product is the best way to get rich, you can't get rich off working most of the time. I think this is the quickest way to earn money. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Having good headphones is really important.

If you don't have good headphones and you listen to music and other things on the Internet, I kind of feel bad for you. If you use your headphones all the time, should you get really nice headphones? I say yes to this. It's worth $60 dollars and up to get good sound out of your headphones so you can actually enjoy your music even more than you are right now. Sound is everything, think about a movie with really bad sound. Why would you put yourself in this position, just get some really nice headphones $60 dollars and up. I have Skullcandy Hesh 2 over-ear headphones and they sound amazing. Also good headphones block a lot of outside noise so you don't have to wreck your ears because of the outside noise. You should only have your headphone volume at 50% percent or lower so you don't get deaf over time or all of a sudden. Please Please Please get really nice headphones so you can enjoy yourself even more. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I got new Skullcandy Hesh headphones.

These headphones are absolutely awesome. These headphones are perfectly balanced for your ears, and it doesn't matter what type of songs you listen to. My previous version didn't sound as good as these new ones because these are a new version. Also the build quality of these headphones are outstanding! OMG these are the best cheap over-ear headphones you can buy! For cheap at least. These headphones are only $60 bucks and these are the cheapest best sounding headphones that I trust with my money. It even comes with a carrying pouch and the headphone cord is detachable so you can replace the cable if you break it. Just telling you ahead a time. And also these headphones really feel comfy, it doesn't hurt my ears. I give these headphones a 10 over 10. Make sure you buy the 2nd version of these headphones. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Spending money for textbooks.

I got some new textbooks, and one of my parents got surprised on how much we spent. I am going to go through High School by being homeschooled. You have to buy text books so you can write down what textbooks you used during your High School years while being homeschooled. I believe that there shouldn't be a price on your own self-learning education. Everybody should spend as much as they want on what they want to learn. It will pay off someday. The more money you spend on education the more you are worth.

Eating just kimchi for lunch.

The best and the healthiest food in our house is yummy kimchi from Hmart. I found out that I can eat just kimchi as a whole meal. A lot of other people don't do that normally but I do. I am half Korean and half of somethings else. I think that I can pretty much eat anything that everybody else likes. That's a good thing. I really like fruits and vegetables and most people these days to even eat them. It kind of makes me go crazy when everybody's shopping card is just full of frozen junk food and chips. The people that don't eat vegetables are people that don't care about themselves much enough to eat them even though it's healthy. The best thing about kimchi is the spices and the yummy fermented vegetables in a jar or bag. My mom doesn't like me eating plain kimchi because she is worried about the lining in my stomach. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Can't wait until I use my filters on my future Canon 50mm 1.4.

I have a good feeling that sometime this year, I am going to get a lens that's on my wishlist. It's the Canon 50mm 1.4 and I always wanted this lens because I would get better results in low-light situations, and extreme bokeh from the large aperture. Also my sister gave me the wrong filters for the wrong lens, but not exactly, because I know that I am going to get this very nice lens. I have a Polarizing filter and a UV filter for my future lens. I am going to use the UV filter all the time, only if I receive good results from it so I can protect the Canon 50mm 1.4 from any harm to the glass. The polarizing filter is going to be used sometimes, but it really depends what this filter brings to the table also. I am super excited and I am ready for action. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I know I can get whatever I want if I have a burning desire for something

My name is Sebastian. I am 14, and I believe that I can get whatever I want if I have a burning desire for something. I also believe that if you have a burning desire, you should have no doubts and a really high belief that your burning desire can be achieved. If you want something really really bad and you don't have any doubts about your want, you will get what you want for. Think of the want as a random man or woman who wants to be your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, and etc. If you believe that you are going to get a girlfriend - (etc) - soon and you think about it with power and intensity constantly with no doubts and full desire, you will get it really fast.

You have to know something about your brain that many people never know about. Your brain emits and receives frequencies. For example, if you want something really bad, your brain will put out a really strong signal that is very strong that travels across the earth faster than the speed of light. Also without signal loss. Your brain never has signal loss, and it's miraculously more powerful than your cellphone network and cable connection. You can also think that if you are stranded in the middle of nowhere, you will still receive and emit signal around the world faster than the speed of light, even if the satellite phone doesn't receive enough signal to make the call to get you off the island.           


That's right, I am using the TV show "Lost" as a reference for this post. Also you have been doing this all your life, sense you were born! Even while receiving and emitting frequencies without notice. This was proved by the world's famous scientist "Albert Einstein. This is Quantum Physics. Also everything is made out of atoms and atoms are made out of electrons. Electrons are made out frequencies and energy. And if you thought about what I have said, you would be thinking that you are making up all the circumstances in the world for yourself. I recommend that you get Your Wish Is Your Command Cd's by Kevin Trudeau. This is powerful knowledge that every person like yourself should be listening to over and over again. I may sound crazy. And my mom thinks I am crazy because she had never listened to it. So buy the Cd's and you won't regret it. If you are really rich like millions of dollars rich, you are doing it right. I still recommend these to people that never heard of this kind of stuff to anybody. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Thinking of uses of my binoculars.

A friend gave a pair of brand new binoculars as a gift. That was very nice of my friend to do that during these days during the economic recession. These binoculars are very nice. These have a very nice focal range, far enough as you want them for general purpose. This pair of binoculars are going to be used in a wide range of travel situations among the countries of Vietnam, South Korea, and Cambodia. I see the use of these binoculars for sightseeing while I am somewhere I never went to. I see myself going to Vietnam and Cambodia once and going to South Korea numerous times to master my going on to be second language (Korean), during my High School years. I started learning Korean 2 weeks ago by following Korean lessons on YouTube. I am still waiting until my Korean language class starts and I am very excited to learn another language rather than just using English. I am waiting patiently to travel to all these places during my High School years. Thank You for reading my blog and have a nice day.

How to make your PC secure and much faster for free.

If your computer is running really slow right now, and it used to run really fast. You may have viruses, Malware, Trojans, Spybots and more problems that can make your computer really slow. First I would install Avast a free antivirus that I trust. Installing and using Avast is really easy, just follow the installation process and after that use the quick scan and the full scan. The program automatically updates the virus definitions so you don't have to press the update button manually. The second application I would install is Spybot - Search & Destroy. This application finds Malware and other stuff, that Avast doesn't find. Also always download these programs on CNET. When you install the program, just install it and update it and push the immunize button so your browsers are more secure so you can actually prevent bad stuff going on your computer before they even go on your computer. And lastly download CCleaner so you can fix lots and lots of registry errors that slow down your computer. Registry on a computer are just computer settings for programs. CCleaner just cleans all the obsolete or really useless registry that's on your computer. The last thing is to defrag your hard-drive, with disk defragmenter.. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I am going to learn Korean and Vietnamese.

I can't wait to get started learning Korean. I am going to learn the Korean language first because there is no Vietnamese language lessons close to home. Also I have long lost relatives in South Korea that I never met. I figured that if I learned Korean, I could speak my relatives native language if I go to South Korea. I am also very happy that I am not learning the same language as other people in my family. My family says just learn the Spanish language. I said to them, I want to be a singularity compared to other people in my family and the MPS school system or any other school systems. I have three sisters that know Spanish and I am not going to be another person in my family that speaks Spanish. I also want to associate my language with traveling to places that I want to travel too. I want to learn the languages I want to learn for personal usage. Not just for the resume, for personal use. I want to learn the languages I want to learn because I have a passion for it. Have a passion for what you are doing. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Got speakers and a subwoofer for my computer.

We had really good speakers and a subwoofer that we didn't use in years. So I decided that I should hook up these old speakers and the subwoofer in my computer. It was a total shock because I never thought these speakers were good. These speakers are awesome with the subwoofer, I am pretty picky person about technology and I say that these things are way better then the default imac speakers. You can control the volume, bass, and treble with these speakers and you can also enhance the sound by putting up the sound on the computer also. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Got addicted to a TV show on Netflix

Do you want to know what show I got addicted to? It's the TV series ( Weeds ). This is like the most addicting show ever. I watched about 4 seasons in a row until I got really tired and got cranky secretly. If you ever had watched this show, you will know that they have tons of good plot lines in the story every episode. Not one disappointed me yet, if you have nothing to do during the summer and you have Netflix just watch this show and you will get stuck with this show until you finish all, I think about 6 seasons? I don't sleep during shows on Netflix, only if they are really boring. You know every good show has a couple problems in it. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

What I notice when I am getting older.

I've just turned 14 this month, In my mind I feel that I should always do more that I can do with my time. You can only do so much during the day, and a lot of times people like me feel like I am just wasting my time. In the during weeks of this month I had  BoyScouts for a week and I am helping a friend out for over 2 weeks practically everyday. At BoyScouts I took 5 merit badge classes to get 5 merit badges, and that's the most I could've done in the current situation. I did get all the merit badges without missing one of them. The week before BoyScouts, was the week that I started helping my friend clean and model his house so he could sell it or even rent it. This is the week after BoyScouts, and I feel like I had done nothing during the summer. I didn't really do that much because it was only just personal stuff not the stuff that is very important for my well-being in the future. It's kind of sad to see time go by so fast, and now I am noticing that you have to make a good decision everyday to make a very big decision in the future. You and I have to have a balance of mostly having good decisions than bad decisions. Don't be a freterate about making bad decisions on accident or on purpose. Just learn from your decisions on go on with your lovely and changing life. Remember to change when the time changes, don't be the same every year. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I learned how to make an Ethernet cable.

My friend needed some more Cat5e cable and he said he would teach me how to make it, and he did. First on Google just search Cat5e diagram, then a couple of images should show how to wire the cable. Or you can even search how to make and Cat5e cable on YouTube and you will get some YouTube videos on how to make cable itself. It took 5 times to make the Ethernet cable very well. The first 4 were just too long at the ends of the cable. I kind of remember the order of where the colored cables go but always make sure you got it in the right order because it's really easy to make a mistake on an Ethernet cable. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Got Office 2011 for mac for my computer.

I can say that Office 2011 is 40x times better than Office 2004 that we have used over the years. I have to say that my family appreciates the new Office 2011 for mac because my family didn't really use the new versions of the programs before. The programs in the new Office is setup so well that that I feel like that we should just throw away Office 2004. I am not going to though. My advice to you if you are still using the old office programs is to upgrade your programs. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Going to learn a second language.

I can't tell you what language I am going to learn. There are only a couple things that I can tell you. The reason why I want to learn a second language is to meet my long lost relatives, and also expand to expand my brain power. It sounds like a challenging and fun experience for me to learn another language. I also think that learning a second language very well makes you have the right to have bragging rights. Also you can put your second language you learned on your resume for applying for college. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Thinking about making another channel.

Why I am I thinking that I need another channel? I think it's because I care about my subscribers. I don't want my subscribers to run away more because I am doing other things with my videos. I want to make a miscellaneous channel for everyone else that is different than Pokemon. The biggest audience on my main channel are the Pokemon viewers and I can't stop making Pokemon videos because I want to please my audience. A different audience with a different channel sounds right to me. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day. 

Thursday, June 14, 2012

Last night, I got some Pokemon card packs to open on YouTube. I got two Dark Explorers packs and it really brought me back up to my game on YouTube. I thought that I can quit making YouTube videos, because I thought that Pokemon cards are a waste of money but it's not. I can tell you why it's not; people only care about the Pokemon videos on my channel, and I can't just stop making Pokemon videos on a base that started from Pokemon card unboxings. You just have to stick with the things that you don't like, because other people like you and depend on you. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Thinking about getting an Ethernet connection for my computer.

Did you ever have problems with the YouTube buffer? A lot of times YouTube videos takes lots of times to load. A lot of times this is due to a bad internet connection, my internet connection is pretty bad because I am using a wireless connection. If you really want to use your computer without having to wait for the videos to buffer on YouTube, you will need to change your wireless internet to wired internet. If you already have a wire connection and the videos still don't load, you will need a new computer for the new world. If you don't have an Ethernet connection, you will see a huge significant increase in performance for your internet experience. It also maybe your service provider that is providing not enough speed for HD YouTube videos. I am thinking about getting an Ethernet connection for my computer, but I think it will be to complicated for everybody. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Steam keeps crashing.

Steam is a application that connects players around the Globe. Their are also some free games on the Steam store. They have a couple good free games on Steam and they are adding free games pretty fast. The problem is for me, is that the application Steam keeps crashing on me. It's not a good feeling to have the application fail while playing a good game. I honestly think that it's not really fully developed on Mac yet or never will be. If you have a PC, you are in luck. PC's are the most reliable gaming machines out there. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Earn the things you want.

Earning things by yourself makes you very happy. A lot of people like me like earning their own stuff by themselves without anybody helping them. When people give you really nice things without you earning one penny of it, makes you feel like you are getting the item because you are spoiled. I don't want things just handed off to me, I want to earn what I wanna earn. Keep saving money because the things you want is going to be expensive most likely. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

My favorite applications.

Most of the applications that I use, are for PC and Mac operating systems. Some of the applications that I use may not be for you. So I am going to make sections on which the applications I highly recommend for everybody. Also I am going to make a section that I use that other people may not need or want.

General Must-Have Applications:

Firefox,
Microsoft Office,
itunes,
Skype,
Quicktime,
and Thunderbird.

For the Intermediate--

Premiere Pro CS4-CS5-CS5.5-CS6
After Effects
Photoshop
Namebench DNS tester
OpenDNS Updater
 DNSCrypt

Please note that the last 3 applications that I recommended, are good but you have to do some work on your part to change your DNS server. I highly recommend OpenDNS to anyone. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Angry Birds Space Review

The first Angry Birds in my opinion is awesome. It has so many hours of gameplay in the old game. Angry Birds Space has a tasty turn with a twist. Angry Birds are now in space with asteroids, pigs, and gravity lift. They also have air bubbles that make our birds spin like crazy until it hits something. I did go all through the levels though and it's getting kind of boring playing the same level you already played. They should add a whole bunch of levels before everybody gets bored with the game. Everything else about the game is fantastic. The levels should be a little more challenging though. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Why I like to be alone.

Lots of people like me needs lots of moments in solitude. Do you ever feel like that you just have to be alone. This is completely normal. Everybody needs time alone by themselves; if you don't have time alone by yourself, you don't know yourself completely. If you don't treat yourself to solitude, you don't know yourself enough to comprehend what you are thinking about yourself. When you spend time by yourself, you think better. You figure out what you are good at and not so good at. Just by being alone you can learn a whole bunch of things that you can't notice while socializing. Being alone for me is a think-tank curve for me. I think a lot about myself. Instead of people thinking of you. You have to be yourself, and don't let anybody disturb you. Silence is very good for you. When you are by yourself think about yourself. If you think about yourself a lot, you will notice what kind of person you are. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Why blame your computer?

Did you ever blame your computer because videos can't buffer fast enough on YouTube or some other website. It's kind of your computer's fault, but it's mostly the internet. If you have a computer that is 4 years or older, it's your computer. If you have a computer that is less than 3 years old, it's your internet connection. The way to increase your internet connection by a lot, is to change your DNS server. Look up OpenDNS and look it up on YouTube so you can increase your internet performance. Millions of users trust this DNS service; I also do to. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Google Chrome is faster on really old computers.

Google Chrome really gets Firefox in performance while using an old computer. If you are using a computer like me, that is about idk about 6 years old. You need Google Chrome because Firefox crashes on slower computers and Google Chrome just seems stable on old computers like this Inspiron E1405. Firefox is amazing on faster computers because you don't need the fastest browser if you computer is very fast. So if you have a computer that is 4 years old or older, use Google Chrome. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Learning programming with Rubymonk.

Rubymonk is a website that teaches you the programming language Ruby. I think programming is extremely important, so I started learning how to program with Rubymonk. If you are curious on what this website is go to www.Rubymonk.com. This website is really cool because it has lessons with built in web problems so it can be an interactive learning experience. I spent about 2 and an a half hours on this website, because it is kind of addicting. Just use the hints and the support tab so you don't have to die off learning programming. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Thinking about playing Animals Crossing.

Animals Crossing is a game that I had played for years. If you have a Nintendo DS and never heard of this game, you are kind of out of sync. Animals Crossing was the best game ever when it first came out. I still think that Animals Crossing for DS is like the best game ever. I found no games that beat Animals Crossing Wild World in any other way. You can buy it for $20 dollars online and it's very worth it. If you really like the game, you will have to buy another card and build another town. The more DS cards you have the more cities you have. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Getting into Skyrim again.

I just started playing Skyrim again yesterday. I didn't play for a while because, I was to low of level to get the elder scroll. I am now level 16 in Skyrim, I gained about 2 or 3 levels so I can continue questing when I am level 25 or higher. I joined the Thieves guild in Riften. Being a part of the Thieves guild, I can earn more money and it gives me something to do. All I want to do right now is to collect gear and level, and also get some healing potions. I will have to say again that Skyrim is my favorite game on Xbox 360 right now. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I am starting to read more.

Some people are like me. People like me don't read as often as we should and now I am starting to read more. I think I didn't wanna read when I was little, because the fictional stories were to kiddish to me. I really like the books that are practical and influential. I like the books the grown-ups write, and I don't like the kids books as much as the grown-up books. Reading is very important and you collect a lot of information when your read. If you don't read you lose out on another source of education. It takes a long time to write a book and you can read a book in a week. If you keep reading you are just going to collect years of experience in a year. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Always buy from a trusted seller.

Always buy from a trusted seller because some people may carry counterfeits to make more money of of you. People sell counterfeit stuff, and its hard to believe but its true. Always buy your things from a very good seller with lots of good reviews. I always trust Amazon.com for all my electronics and things. If you are buying this on Amazon, try to buy from the seller Amazon LLC so you don't get counterfeit items. Counterfeit items such as counterfeit batteries may or may not harm your device.

Install an Antivirus on Mac.

If you don't have an Antivirus installed on the Mac, you should get a free one at least. The latest Mac Trojan is Flashback. This Trojan infected over 600,000 Macs around the world. If you didn't upgrade your software on your mac recently, you should right now. Also install an Antivirus like Avast. Avast is an Antivirus that I would trust on my Mac or PC. Even though the PC version of the Antivirus is better on the PC, it's a good starter up Antivirus for Mac. Its better to have something than nothing. If you don't have an Antivirus, an unknown virus or something might attack your computer next month. Anything can happen and why take the chance. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Print your favorite pictures.

If you are trying to start a photography of some sort, you will have to start making a portfolio and some poster sized pictures that are in a frame. If you are just showing your customers a digital portfolio or what you have done for the past years. It's not good enough. People will treat you more seriously rather than just showing your photos on a digital computer. I honestly think that photos printed out looks better than photos just being on the computer for my opinion. It shows that you care about your work and cherish your work. Some people say that you don't have to spend money to learn. This is true for a lot of times but sometimes you just have to spend money to learn what things mean to you. I don't regret spending $47 dollars of my money on a 20*30 metallic print because it looks great. If you have a image you took that you really love, print and frame the picture in your house. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The best game on Wii for my opinion.

The only game that I really really enjoy is Mario Kart. Mario Kart is basically a game that allows you to be a goofy character and you race with go karts and a arsenal of crude weaponry. This game is great for multilayer and is a great party game to entertain guest for hours on end. If you are buying a Wii for the first time, buy this game first! Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I fixed an old computer no one is using.

My family discarded this laptop because it was slow. Now it's fast because I updated the service pack to service pack 3 in XP and I installed antivirus software that removed 5 viruses. Now this computer is running fast enough to watch 1080P video with no problem. The antivirus software that I am using, is Avast Free, and Malwarebytes Free. These are the essential free antiviruses that you can get and install your your PC. If you never installed a antivirus software, I bet you 5 dollars that you have at least 1 virus or something. Install the antivirus programs from CNET because its a trusted source for downloads.

Also download CCleaner so you can get rid of caches that is just filling up your hard drive space with crap. Just clean out the cache and you computer will run a lot faster if you have an older computer. The computer that I am using right now is an Inspiron E1405 that my older sister passed on to my sister and my sister passed it on to my mom. My mom got a new computer so she discarded this in a bag and never got used ever sense. I can use this when I am on the go and need a computer to do things. Also defrag you drive with your windows utility so it makes it a little more faster also. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Install the BetterPrivacy add-on on Firefox.

If you don't have Firefox for this add-on, I feel bad for you. This add-on drastically improved my Flash Player media performance. I used to wait two minutes for a 1080P video to buffer and sometimes it didn't even buffer. This add-on is the second best add-on in my opinion because it gets rid of lots of LSOs.Wikipedia has a page on these objects. Here's the information about LSOs "Link. LSO stands for Local shared object. It's practically cache from the Flash Player that doesn't get deleted from your Firefox cookie settings. On the (Wikipedia Page on LSOs) is has been said that "local shared objects can be used by web sites to collect information on how people navigate those web sites even if people believe that they have restricted the data collection.

If you install this add-on and your computer is more than 2 years old or even a year old computer, you will have lots of LSO's that add-on can remove for you. I have a promise that it will be safe and will increase your Flash Player performance by a lot if you don't have the latest computer specs. Download BetterPrivacy so you can protect your data and get better performance. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day. Personally I think its safe because its just getting rid of super cookies that most people never heard about, because people think they remove all the important cookies from their browser settings. Another name for LSO is flash cookies.

The best browser in my opinion.

What's your favorite browser? Is it Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or even a third party browser? They have lots of Chrome fans and Firefox fans. I am personally using Firefox 24/7, and it's the most reliable browser I have ever used. Firefox only crashed only about 5 times without my consent, and it doesn't really bog down your memory or anything.

I really love all the privacy and cache settings in the Firefox preferences. All the other browsers I have used, has settings to clear cache and history but not when you are closing your browser. If you change the Firefox settings, you can clear cache and history when you close the browser. Also Chrome is a toddler from Google trying to steal all your data and maybe sell off all your personal data one day to the government.

I don't hate Google, but I really don't trust them as I should. Google keeps all your information for a long period of time. I estimate about a year or more, or they just keep forever. Also Google Chrome is a memory hog for everything, it takes lots of CPU power especially if you don't have new computer.

Just use Firefox! I trusted it for year and I will trust for the rest of my life.

I used a very old lens on my camera.

My dad said that some guy has a 70-200mm for sale. It wasn't really a 70-200mm lens, it was a 80-200mm lens of a aperture of 5 and higher. The lens really wasn't that sharp, and it didn't really meet my standards, but I was really mesmerized that a lens from the 1980's worked on my camera. The lens had an EF mount and I called Canon support and they said that I can use it on my DSLR. I tried it and everything worked, from the auto-focus to the aperture, it work fine but it wasn't sharp. It is nice to know that you can use old EF lenses with your camera. Also I was about to use the flash, but I didn't because online people said that the old flashes has very high voltage. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Get more RAM in your computer.

If you have 4GB of ram or less you need more RAM! I used to have 4GB of ram in my imac, and I was sick and tired of waiting for things to get done. Also lots of applications didn't really like that I only had 4GB of ram for my editing software. So I upgraded the ram to 12GB by adding 8GB of RAM to my system. Ive seen a very significant performance and reliability increase by adding my RAM. I think the new standard should be 8GB and that would be enough for everything you need to do. If you only write books on your computer and browse the internet, you should just stick with the 4GB's or RAM in your computer. If you have 2GB or less you will need to upgrade it to at least 4GB of ram. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Learn how to edit by watching tutorials on YouTube.

YouTube has the best tutorials ever! The reason why YouTube has the best tutorials ever, because YouTube has really basic tutorials that tells you how to use an editing program from scratch. Learning the basics is really not a bad thing. If you don't know the basics of life, you wouldn't be living right now. The basics is the base of you learning curve. If you don't know the basics, you don't know the programs enough to understand and learn from tutorials.

Also if you are following a tutorial, you have to do the tutorial. If you don't do the tutorial you don't learn, because if you don't do it you don't learn it. You have to learn from doing and listening, you can't follow along while your not paying attention. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Taking many photos helps your skill.

I took 850 photos yesterday, and I learned a lot. Little things like; taking the same photo while switching the shutter speed. Just have a big enough memory card, and if your camera shoots raw, make your JPEG size small so you get more out of your card. I also learned that you have to make sure, when you are shooting outside that you try to keep lots of the details in the sky. Also don't bring your tripod when you are wanting to take tons of photos. A tripod really slows you down while you are trying to take hundreds of photos. If you need a tripod though use it. If you don't get the horizon level enough in your photo, just fix it in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom and you can fix it under ten seconds after you learn how to fix the horizon. They have tutorials on YouTube on how to level the horizon while using Photoshop or Lightroom.

Get a lens with image stabilization; I find this really helpful when you are using your max focal length of your lens without a tripod. I would find that I would buy the more expense lens with the image stabilization if you are going to shoot outside a lot without a tripod.

Always format your card after your done downloading all your photos and video to your computer. If you don't format your card every-time you put it in your camera; you are just risking your data for no good apparent reason. Every-time you shoot format it in your camera, so it can get all the data of the card before shooting some more shots. Also this improves the performance of the card by tons if you are a sports photographer. You should always format your card when you get a new card, check your camera's menu and see the format option. This will delete all your photos so make sure that you downloaded them to your computer first. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Get the editing software.

Please get the editing software that professionals use. You can get the student edition of the software that cost lots cheaper. I know many people say to you, oh you don't need these "professional" editing tools. I say you get them even if you are new to them. Getting good editing software really opens your mind up to many many possibilities. You can do everything with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, and both are different so you can compare the two programs side by side that's better for your workflow. I know that you can make time-lapses very easily with Adobe Lightroom, but it doesn't mean that Photoshop can't do it. I recommend to buy the Adobe collection that meets your needs. Like Adobe Production Premium is heading towards that film-makers out there. Adobe design Premium are heading towards the Web Developers and photo editors. I can't tell you how much things you can learn from these programs, just trust me and buy the darn products when you have the chance.

Taking photos feels great.

Taking photos is very good for my well being. When I take photos, I feel like I am doing the right thing for the city of Milwaukee. My parents give me so much ideas about taking photos of things like historical and interesting homes, mansions, cemeteries, and Harley Davidson objects. I feel like I progressed a lot sense I got my camera during Christmas. Lots of things takes lots of time to learn, and I want to use my time wisely. As you should also use you time wisely with your passion, or an adventurous hobby. Spend your free time and money on things you love to do. Nobody can stop you, only your spouse can stop you. I would imagine that traveling would really open your mind up to many extraordinary things that regular people don't think about or take for granted.

Don't spend all your life doing same thing you hate. All that matters is your time, money, and happiness. If you not happy, you not living life right and I advise you to be happy and to be joyful by other people. So the happiness can spread all around like melted Swiss Cheese on a sandwich. Do the things you want to do and want to do great. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Editing lots of photos I took.

I took about 250 pictures around my neighborhood. This is my first time taking pictures of other houses, and it's very interesting on how your images will turn out of Photoshop, when you are shooting RAW. I live in Milwaukee, and my neighborhood has historic houses from the 1800's to etc. I am in the editing process now, and I am just learning how to do good things with Adobe Photoshop because I just started editing photos a little while ago. I got some really nice photos, and I also think that I can make an HDR in our neighborhood, or more than one. Keep taking Photos and feel good while taking them, it really changes the mood of the image by your mental stage while your taking your photos. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Taking Photos from my balcony

I never thought that I could take so many good photos from my balcony. That's right I got my own balcony. I am high enough on my balcony to see lots of birds, butterflies, and many more that nature still has to give us. I am using the Canon 5D Mark II with a 24-105mm lens, and this lens makes me sad because I have to crop and lose tons of quality instead having a bigger focal length like a 70-200mm lens. 

I have also learned that every-time you take photos and download them onto your computer, you should always format your card before you take pictures again. This brings down the risk of corrupted errors and others things that can risk that photos you are about the take. So always format your card to delete the photos and video off the card. The Canon 5D Mark II is a spectacular camera for shooting birds, even if you use manual focus. Usually birds stay in one play for quite a long time, and you have plenty of time to use your manual focus on your lens. I really think that if I get the 70-200mm lens, the focus issues will be less apparent to the photo. So get a good lens at least 70-200mm, and get a DSLR with a big memory card to get some great stunning photos. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Put healthy food inside your sweet home.

I really miss having so much healthy vegetables, fruits, and oatmeal around the house. It just really saddens me that all I have to eat today, is a cheesy pizza and not hearty oatmeal. Most people don't know that fact when you eat more healthy food, the more quality of person you are. When you eat healthy food you feel empowered that you can do anything. Eating healthy food to me is an assurance that you can do anything and everything that's right for you and others. That's why I have to convince my parents to buy more healthy food, so we can act healthy on a regular basis. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I should use Photoshop more often.

You can do a whole bunch of things with Photoshop. If you don't have a photo to edit with, you should just take one off Google images. I think Adobe programs are very educational, because it takes a long time to learn programs. I recommend that you start as soon as you can so you can be more into editing video and photos in the future. A lot of things takes times, especially learning how to make programs manipulate you footage or photos. I recommend you play with the Adobe programs that associate your skills you want. I am going to work with Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects. These are the programs that I want to be associated with. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Fixed my headphone jack problem with my imac 27 inch.

Who would ever think that you headphone jack would act up? Mine did for a while. You should guys should try this, unplug some of your devices you don't use all the time, because all those things connected to your computer take power. In my case I unplugged my USB card reader and the Magic Jack device. Then all of a sudden, the headphone worked properly. I used to have to plug it half way and then put in my headphones into the computer. Now I just have to put my headphones in the computer normally. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Considering making my own custom PC.

Sometimes over the years, I think about making my own PC. I think learning how to build a PC, is very educational and useful in my future. If you ever want to build a PC you will need help, or even two people helping you for certain things. These are the type of things that I want to learn, so I can just build a new computer in the future with my spare time.

I am also thinking in the future, that I will have both PC and Mac for different circumstances. Both operating systems "Windows" and "Mac" have pros and cons. For me right now PCs is number one for me, because Apple is focusing on stuff like gestures, instead of the actual usability of an computer. I also really want to get into gaming on the PC, because I would never consider a television for gaming personally. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Oatmeal gives energy

Oatmeal is a powerful food for me and you. I have been eating oatmeal for a little over a week now. Every time I eat oatmeal, I feel more energetic and warm. You just have a very good feeling and a sensation when you are eating oatmeal.

Oatmeal is very healthy for you, because if fights and prevents certain cancers, and also protects your heart from heart disease. Eat the regular Oatmeal packs that have flavor. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

I fixed my sleeping habits.

I have finally fixed my sleeping habits. It has been so long sense I had a good night sleep. I used to sleep until 12PM instead of 10PM; I am now currently sleeping at 10PM instead of 12PM. It feels really good when you have a good night sleep, and I really think it increases productivity by a whole bunch of margins. Now I can think better and learn better with more sleep. It may take 2 or more days to put your sleeping habits under control. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Trying to fix my sleeping habits.

Right now I am having sleeping problems; the issue is very unknown. The first reason why I think I sleep late at night, because of my age. I mostly think that my age is a big factor for me sleeping problems. I also think that I am dehydrated and I don't drink enough water to even sleep. I also am thinking about a lot of things when I can't sleep; like computers, cameras, scripts, and video editing. I should drink tea before I get to bed also, because it calms the nerves very well. I am going to resolve this issue soon. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.  

Thinking about making a preorder for Diablo 3

I really think for me, that Diablo 3 is worth 60 dollars. I played the beta and I only found a few issues; when it first comes out it will have some glitches or errors for every operating system. If you didn't play the Diablo 3 beta already, you should download it right now before they get rid of it.

This is my 3rd favorite game, and I only played the beta not the full version. The only thing I don't like about the game, is the looting and the lag while fighting, but these things can be solved in a pinch. I also have to convince myself to spend 60 dollars on a game. This game for me is about everything I need for a good game, but I just have to wait off for a while, until I get some more money.

Overall the beta of the game, is very addictive, partially because of the fighting aspects of the game; you feel so powerful while you right click and left click many times. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Diablo 3 beta review

The Diablo 3 beta was my first experience with the Diablo series. This game is very fun, and very interesting and just awesome. Everything about is very good, the fighting is very addictive, and the music and storyline is very nice. Also if you complete the storyline, they will always have extensions that they would want you to buy, so it's kind of another World of Warcraft extension. The performance, was kind of slow on the beta, because I had to play on 1920 * 1080 instead of my native resolution of 2560 * 1440. Some people think that this is running of some sort of wine program, that ports PC games into the Mac experience. I've also seen some lag issues with the game, during fighting monsters. I thought it was only me for a while, but sometimes when you are fighting, the animations will show up 10 seconds after you clicked the attacking button. Also I hate the looting process of this game, because you only have a certain amount of slots, in your carrying bag in Diablo. When I was trying to pick up one thing like gold, and heath potions, I always pick up stuff I don't need on Accident and it's very annoying. Other than that, this is a solid beta for all I know, and I am very serious on considering buying this game. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Trying to write a script.

Today, and yesterday and the day before. I was hoping that I will have an idea for a script, so I can make a script for a video. Pulling ideas out of my head is quite hard for me. I think one day though, I will have an idea for a script very soon. It's quite easy to write a script with a story, but you will need software though. The best free software for writing scripts is Celtix. Celtx is a free program for scriptwriters that want to write scripts for free, and don't want to write a single dime to the Final Draft company. Final Draft is what the major professionals use, or people like me, that are lucky to have Final Draft. If you are a good writer, you should be a script writer, and maybe one day you can earn tons of money of producers. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Need an external hard drive to improve Premiere Pro's performance.

Did you ever notice, that when you edit off one hard drive, everything just gets slow. It's because the hard drive is editing off the source footage off your main drive, that you are exporting with. You can't have all things in one basket. You need things separated from each other, to make things run faster in Premiere Pro. You should you source footage on one drive and edit off that drive, and then export it to your  internal drive. Also use you other external hard drive or another internal drive as a scratch disk in Premiere Pro. If you do that, your main internal drive doesn't have to deal with all the things that makes it slower. It almost makes it two times as fast than just one drive. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Vocabulary Words are very fun to learn.

Learning vocabulary words to me, is not a chore, but rather a very good one if it is. First I print out some vocabulary words at this website. Find the SAT word section, and print out the downloadable PDF file and study these words. First print it out, and put the words on note cards. Note cards are very essential for you learning needs, and also learn how to spell them, by writing each word 20, 25, or 40 times on a couple sheets of paper. Also check out Vocabulary.com, this is a Khanacademy for vocabulary words. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Moved my imac by my bed.

Yesterday, I decided that I should put my imac by my bed. I wanted it it by my bed, because I can play video games from my bed and also watch videos from my bed. I also brought down an other dresser that I used, when I was in my older house. Then, I put all my clothes in the new dresser, and now it's like 3 times cleaner looking. I still have work to do on my room, but my room is one of the cleanest rooms in the house. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The one thing that is stopping me from switching to PC.

Macs has always been so good to me, and this is the only thing stopping me from switching from a Mac to a PC. Mac's to me is just a computer that you trust for tons of things, and I never worry about my computer crashing. My Mac never suffered a serious problem never! I also don't have to worry about Antivirus software, for my Mac also. It is true most of the time, that PC's are more powerful, but are they trustworthy. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Adobe CS6 programs are going to be amazing!

I thought about Adobe CS6 for quite a while now. I am also thinking of upgrading my Adobe programs from CS4 to CS6. The money for the upgrade is well worth it's cost, it will have so many more features than CS4 like the mercury playback engine and the new setup. Also I don't want to convert my footage for Premiere Pro, because converting stuff just to edit is a pain. It just takes to much time and effort, for just converting it to even edit the darn footage.

The only problem is for me, is that if I get the Mac version, I am stuck with Mac forever. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Skyrim game saves are not so good.

When I save my game in Skyrim, during questing. I think it automatically deletes my save, after I save at a certain point of a quest. That's a reason why to stick to the game, and not to get away from it and get back to it. That's my only big complaint about Skyrim, that the saves to me are corrupted. The update from Xbox Live, made me talk to the dragon again, and it took about 10 minutes or more to talk to the dragon again. Overall I really like the game, but the dragon attacks, I really hate. I wish is occurred after the campaign. That's okay though, you can take a carriage to places most of the time. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Starting to learn HDR photography.

HDR photography is a sequence of photos with different exposures. For my camera, it can only take 3 pictures, but that's enough to make a HDR image. You will need a tripod, and a camera, that can take multiple exposure images at once. You want your camera as steady as possible, use a tripod and use your timer on your camera, and wait until all three images have been shot. Canon and Nikon are almost similar for HDR photography, but Nikon can shoot more images at different than the Canon for HDR. You want your camera to have your camera as steady as possible, because your are going to combine the images later in HDR software or Photoshop. For beginners download free HDR software online, if you are confused, use tutorials on Youtube to help yourself. Just look HDR photography online, and it will tell you how to do it. For Canon use AEB. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Update your firmware and Software.

Today I am going to talk about why you should update you firmware and software that comes with your camera. The reason why you should update you firmware on you camera, is because it fixes errors like language errors or just glitches on your new camera. If you never updated the firmware on you camera you should look up your camera model and look if it has any firmware updates. Most of the time DSLR's and camcorders has these firmware updates. Also update you software that comes with your camera, like EOS utility that comes with your camera, If you want to use it, you will have to update it, so it won't crash while taking pictures or video. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

The end of peaceful computing for the Mac lineup?

Is the Mac Defender virus and the "Flashback virus" just the start of the end of peaceful computing with the mac?

The problem here for me is, the security in the future. Is the Apple company prepared for all these viruses now heading towards Mac. Is the free "anti-virus programs for the Mac good enough to withstand the future attacks of the Mac system. In my mind right now, is that Mac is never going to be prepared when the big one hits. This just wants me to build a PC right now, because at least PC's had and has experiences on a large scale before. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

What I noticed when taking photos at a Soccer game.

I noticed that when you and I only have one lens, you are limited to certain types of pictures. In the future, I would decide to get a 70-200mm f/2.8 or a f/4. They do have one lens from sigma to Canon, but I don't trust other brands for lenses over $1000 dollars. I took a couple nice shots of a soccer game yesterday, and believe it or not, the focal length of the lens limited my picture taking.

If you don't have a lot of money for a lens, or a camera, just keep saving money. Open a savings account, so you can just put money in their, and the bank will give you interest every year, it depends on the amount in the account.

Money is power, and you need power to control other people's lives and your life. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

You can download SAT words online to study.

If you are like me, I always love to find free stuff online for every use. Even vocabulary words, that will most likely will improve your vocabulary and you spelling a tad bit. I downloaded a few vocabulary word worksheets on majortests.com, and its a very good website to download free stuff like SAT words. I noticed that learning vocabulary words are important, because it will help you during college courses when professors say vocabulary words that normal people like me don't know yet. Just download the PDF file and print the sheets. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Recycle your recyclable items yourself.

Hi everyone. Today I am going to tell you why you should recycle cans or any other recyclable item yourself. When your family drinks a lot of Soda, and you take the cans to the recyclable bin, you lose a lot of money per year. Our family, saves our cans, so we can get them weighed and get payed for recycling instead of the city taking all your money worth of cans and other things.

I got 39 dollars off a car load of Soda cans, and it worth the little effort. Just store your bags in your garage, or basement if you have enough space, so you can have a little bit more money every year.

Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.

Skyrim is much easier to start out than Oblivion.

When I first playing the Oblivion game, it completely turned me off. It turned me off a lot, because it was really hard to start out at first. I didn't really know the controls and, I was knowing nothing of what I was doing in the Oblivion.

In Skyrim, it's a whole new story. Skyrim is very much easier to start out than Oblivion, also at the beginning of the game, someone helps you, and tells you what to do. I estimate that I played for about 8 hours, and I didn't feel lost in the game at all. I think the introduction of the game is one of the very important parts of video games. Without a good introduction, without good instructions or storyline, you are just leaving the consumer in the dark.

For the reason that Skyrim made it easier, this wants me to play Oblivion after I am done with Skyrim. Thank you for reading my blog and have a nice day.
