My Thoughts @ Random
As a thought comes to me, I write it. It could be on: Love, Work, Feelings, or anything at all. Sometimes it will be deep, sometimes so shallow it will make you groan.

New Xbox Player
So far as the sequal to play is rather entertaining, I am looking forward to how this plays. After I complete Batman Arkham Asylum, I will be playing Mass Effect 3. And in case you are also an Xbox Player, my Gamertag is: Boh Vijny

Interesting Times
It was not that long ago that only the super rich had a "mobile
phone," and that was only available in limited places. Now everyone
and their dog have one (cats don't yet, since that is what humans are
for). Now we have high speed internet on our phones, that run a
processor that is more powerful than the computer that landed Man on
the Moon!
Take a moment...
Your workplace uses computers to do their accounting, you probably
also have a computer instead of a till.
Say the computers all over the world crashed tomorrow... Could you
still do your job. Seriously, could you really? If you are reading
this post I doubt you could do your job... And for those who don't
read this post, you probably still use pen and paper to do your
invoices.
That is my point, it is absolutely interesting times that technology
is moving exponentially faster, yet we have to keep up if we want to
compete.
Thoughts? I would love to hear them.

Running Away and to Technology
However much the Sun shines down, and reading a book under a tree is enjoyable, there is nothing that compares to the speed of searching on Google to find an answer, or read an interesting article in Wikipedia. But think about this, if the power went out and the batteries were dead, could you function. I mean really function... do you know how to fix your lawnmower, your plumbing, or your generator sitting in the garage?
It all comes back to how we get out information. Just think it was only 20 years ago, you would go to the library and borrow a book on small engines to fix your lawnmower. Or phone your dad to find out how to fix a clogged drain in your kitchen. Or call your buddy to come over and help you move and fix your generator.
Now we go to our favourite search engine and look up anything we need and an answer appears. No going out to learn, no phone calls, and no physical human social interactions. I recognize in myself these things, but how many of us do think about it. I mean come on your reading this on an electronic device for crying out loud.
Instead of just Clicking "like" or "+1"ing why don't we say instead, "do you want to go for coffee?" and leave the computer at home.
Of course we will keep going back...

The Perception of Time
to sit still, have an awsome time and it flys by.
Is there a way to make time stop all together?
