Link: LifeHacker - Vista Tip: Microsoft's Advice on How to Speed Up Vista
There is so many talks about the performance of Vista. Many are saying that it is the worst operating system there is. Others are complaining about the stability and system performance. Well, Microsoft is pushing to make Vista look better in the Consumer's eye. It has had many ads that promote the operating system.
On Microsoft's own website, it published a PDF document on way to optimize the performance of Vista. These tips include tweaking the power settings, folder options, and visual effects.
Maybe, instead of having the user tweak the operating system to have it perform better, Microsoft should incorporate it into the system itself. I'm not saying that Vista is bad, I'm just saying that it could be better, and having a 14-page PDF document from Microsoft showing you how to make it perform better just proves it.

Unboxing My New iPhone 3G on YouTube
Link: iPhone 3G Unboxing
This is my video that I put on YouTube that shows me unboxing my new iPhone 3G. So far it has been pretty good to me. I know that there are A LOT of people trying to get their hands on one of these. For myself, I called into an Apple store and they said they had some. I went down there and I was about 10th in line, so I figured it wouldn't be that bad of a wait (maybe hour max). Well, I got sucked into waiting in line for a loooong time. Half an hour turned into a hour. I figured, "Heck, I'm here for an hour, might as well wait a bit longer." Well, I ended up waiting for 2 hours. If I knew I was gonna wait that long, then I wouldn't have stayed. But, I did, and now I have myself an iPhone 3G.
As shown in the video, comes with ear buds (which can also be used as a hands-free headset), A USB cable, and a new smaller charger. Oh, and a nifty pin thingy if I ever want to switch out the SIM card.

Failing on the iPhone
I hope this doesn't happen to me if i get an iPhone. I don't really like the safari web browser on the iPhone, every time I played with it, it would always crash on me. Hopefully they patched things up in time for the new software rollout.

First off, this is a kayak, not a canoe.
Now, imagine this lovely thing. Going out and seeing the world under you while you paddle out. It would either be really exciting, or very dull because you won't be able to see deep down into the ocean... but it sounds cool.
Now imagine, if you tip this thing over, or if people are trying to spot it from far away, it's gonna be a bit tough. Good thought, but will it work??

Rotating Skyscraper!!
Link: CNN - Dubai 'shape-shifting skyscraper' unveiled
Wow, this stuff is ingenious! I never would have thought of a building that can do that kine of stuff. I wonder how it would stand up to an earthquake or something like that?

A Quote On Love
Chaos Theory [2007]
"...But underneath all that bump-ba-da-bump mess
There is in fact a pattern
A truth
And it's love
The most important thing about love
Is that we choose to give it, and we choose to receive it
Making it the least random act in the Universe
It transcends blood, it transcends betrayal
And all the dirt that makes us human"
-Frank Allen
When I was watching this movie, in the end, when Frank (played by Ryan Reynolds) was giving his thought of wisdom and experience to his son-to-be, he was speaking about Love. And when I was listening to him speak, I was thinking to myself, "Hey! This guy is speaking the truth! That is exactly what Love is and exactly what the kind of Love God has for us."
Love is a powerful truth. It gives us the ability to reach beyond what we as humans naturally are. It gives us the opportunity to forgive. Love is what makes us more than human. And God's love is the ultimate Love that gives us Salvation. It is His Love that saves us from the sins of our nature and "transcends" us to be who we are.
