Next Podcast

OK, the next podcast's topic hasn't been decided yet. But, my friend Steve will hopefully be joining me in it. I now have a headset so when I record just by myself it will be a bit easier. Back to my friend's participation, he has already been in other podcasts so he has a bit of experience, and I have the tech knowledge to boot. So see you next time.

First Podcast

I finally got around to getting my first podcast done for my multimedia class, assignment is due tomorrow so I was running out of time. It is about Halo 3 and is over six minutes long. Listen in to find out more.

Halo 3

The Net

So, it turns out I get internet troubles right as I am needing it most. I have no internet at my house in other words. This has put a halt to all sorts of projects, including a majority of my school work at home. I am supposed to have the net back sometime around noon or so. Hopefully that will be the case so I will be able to get my podcast finished and posted. Steve won't be joining me in this one since it doubles as a Multimedia project for school.

That is all for now. Till next time.

School Woes and Games

So anyway, back again. I am sitting here during school being really bored. So I decided to post another entry on my blog with my extra time, that should be used doing research for a paper. Being able to e-mail entries in helps a lot just in case the school decides to block the blogspot site.

Let's see...I may do a podcast soon. My Multimedia class has a project going that requires us to do at least a one minute podcast and upload it to the blog they will set up. I am going to make one then link it here so everyone who starts reading will hear how I started out. Later on I may have my friend Steve join in on the podcasts. He used to do one here and there with a mutual friend of ours.

Anyway, back to the podcast. It will be about Halo 3 for the Xbox360. Basically I will just talk about the info released on it so far and spread out my knowledge to my classmates. I may cue up Halo 2's theme song to add into the background. So far I believe that I will use Daft Punk's song Digital Love for the background.

Talking Urinals? The Hell?

OK, I loled pretty hard when I read this on Reuters. In New Mexico, police want to remind drunks not to drive....so where do all people who drink end up? In the bathroom. So they have made talking urinals in order to do so. Interesting way of using technology really...here, read the news post yourself if you don't believe me.

SANTA FE, New Mexico (Reuters) - In a novel move to curb drunk driving, New Mexico is using talking urinals to remind drinkers to not get behind the wheel when drunk.

The state transportation department said on Thursday it has put some 500 talking deodorizers in bar and restaurant restrooms in the state in recent days to remind drivers not to drink and drive.

"Hey big guy, having a few drinks? Then listen up!" a voice chirps in. "Think you had one too many? Then it's time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home."

Transportation department spokesman SU Mahesh said the motion-activated devices were part of an attempt to "think outside the box" to tackle drunk driving in the state.

"We have a big problem here in New Mexico. ... Hopefully this will be a humorous and also serious way to catch men before they go to their cars and say to them 'it's not worth it to drink and drive,'" Mahesh told Reuters.

Mahesh said the devices, which are manufactured by New York-based Healthquest Technologies Inc., have been used elsewhere in the United States, but never as part of a statewide campaign.

If the project is successful he hopes bars and restaurants will continue to purchase the battery-operated gadgets, which cost $21 each and last three months.

Pretty interesting stuff. Here is the link to the actual webpage on Reuters: Talking Urinals

Star Trek

I have been out of the movie loop for quite awhile. So it is understandable I missed the rumors on the eleventh movie in the Star Trek series. So far the title rumors and the like say will be Star Trek: The Beginning. As you can tell from this title, it will take place before all the other movies in James T. Kirk's early days in Star Fleet.

Rumors say that Matt Damon will be playing the role of Kirk and Ben Affleck in the role of Mr. Spock. They better not screw the roles up.

I am still skeptical about this, but I hope this movie turns out to be a good addition to the Trek series. Maybe this movie will beat the Star Trek movie curse. For those who don't know what I mean, there is a reason I added Google into my blog links.
