ebay

I just registered for my first ebay account! I bought a usb data cable for my Kyocera Kx5 slider remix phone... no big deal. They want 50$ at kyocera for it and I just found it on ebay for 17.95$!! I am stoked with my new ebay account and if my purchase goes well then I'm looking forward to buying more stuff on ebay. I'm planning on selling my paintball gun on there in the following weeks unless anyone who reads this is interested. Its a Tippman Pro Carbine. I've used it a couple times in the past 4 years and I recently took it apart, cleaned it and oiled it. 100$ OBO.

The Terminator

So I had to get a part time job a week ago. Who ever has read my first blog will find it contradictory that I posted a blog about oil consuming cars and I just got a job at Island Express Lube! What you don't know is that I'm actually spying on them. I'm gonna bring them down from the inside! jk Today was my only day off this week and I planned on doing some homework and getting ahead on some projects... instead I played halo 2 and did ninja flips onto my bed. Then I finally started my program thats due tomorrow at 8:30pm.

A couple months ago I watched a video on msn.com about a man who lost both of his arms and had them replaced with mechanical arms that he can actually control with his mind. I was thinking about it today and I wanted to learn more so I googled it. This is a major technological breakthrough! Now I don't have to worry about losing my limbs in a car accident or something. Check it out and let me know what you think.

The Future...

Three years ago I took my first computer science class at COCC in Bend. My teacher asked us if we all new what a blog was... there was little response, and he explained what it was, then he told us that one day we will all have one. I just thought "yeah right"... but here I am writing a blog. He knew it was coming! Technology has been progressing for thousands of years and yet it feels like it has just been born. The future is endless... how far will time take us and how much more is technology going to progress. Thats my thought for this morning.

I checked out Who Killed the Electric Car yesterday and it really made me angry! Its disturbing that these people who profit billions of dollars a year are trying to hold back a technological breakthrough and sacrifice the health of our planet for more profit. I believe that we have the power and the knowledge to undue the damage we have already done. So whats the hold up?

I just read an article about GM's new Chevrolet Volt. Its a concept car the runs off of an electric motor. It also has a 1 liter 3 cylinder supercharged motor that recharges the battery when you can plug it in. The idea is that its "flexible" enough for multiple energy sources.... and it looks pretty cool too. I realize that integrating electric cars as a main mode of transportation is going to take some time. At least company's are still making an effort to create environmentally friendly cars. But oil companys removing ads for the electric car is still ridiculous.
