The Blo3gs of Others.

Of my entire class, the blogs I chose to blog about were Lisa's, Kelly's, Rebecca's, Sara's, and Andrew's.

Lisa's blog was about the podcasts we listened to, and mine is in there, along with Will's and Lucas's. Will's was about a book, and Lucas's was about baseball and football.

Kelly's blog was about a fight between 2 men, De La Hoya and Mayweather, and how they fought in a boxing match. They were close, but Maywheather won, and then she talked about her $60 dish network.

Rebecca's was about swimming on the block period in PE, with some of her friends and some others she didnt know.

Sara's was about coffee, and how many people drink it, and how much of an addiction it is. She doesn't think so.

Andrew's was about Earth Day, and he had a vidoe of beautiful spots all over the world.

podcasts blo3g

The podcasts that I heard were very well done, about the capuchino band and sports, by Lisa and Jake. Both had funny parts, but they were about regular things. They had some serious sections too. the band is made up of many different sections, went down to Disney Land for a concert, and got some benefit from people going to their concerts and such. The other was about MLB and the NFL (baseball and football) and how they're played.

paper bags!!!

This is part of a project I have to speak for four minutes about a random topic. Yes, that random.

The Amazing World of Paper Bags

Paper bags are one of the most fascinating things ever. They’re like portable trees that hold things. Imagine if you had a tree that followed you around all day, holding your lunch. That would rock! You could sell it online for 10 dollars, but it costs so little for a bag, you could earn a lot of money. People who are really eccentric would buy it if you marketed it well enough.

Plastic bags are another kind of bag. Not nearly as nice as paper bags, and they have far fewer uses, and much less recyclable, and they have very few strong points. If paper bags and plastic bags had a fight, the paper bags would just… you know, it wouldn’t even be a fight, it would be a loss for all of plastic bag kind.

Some may say there are reasons to distrust paper bags. They were a racist reference in the 1900s to the 1950s, where parties were held, and anyone darker than a paper bag couldn’t enter. However, it’s not the paper bag’s fault, but instead, the people who bought the paper bags. Now people make paper bags in mass, some selling them in groups of 10,000 minimum. There’s also a record production company under the name of Paper Bag Records in Canada. Who could forget the Fandango ads, with those fascinating little puppets? No one, that’s who.

INTERVIEW:
What is your opinion on paper bags?
What do you prefer, paper or plastic?

del.icio.us blo3g

On del.icio.us (that's the entire website name, and it may be the best name ever) you can store websites and find what others have stored, like a giant bookmarks folder, but everyone knows whats been saved and how popular it is. I chose 3 websites to save, albinoblacksheep.com, deviantart.com, and spore.com. One is a website filled with various submitted videos and games, the next is a site where people can post their art, and the third is a website for a game coming out in October 2007.

What is family.

What's your idea of what a family can be?

A group of people related through blood, like your siblings or your parents.

Who is in your family circle?

Just my direct family.

What is your family like?

My family is kind of separated; my sister is in France, most of my mom's family is in Wisconsin, and dad's family is in Southern California. We're all very different people, and don't have very many similar interests. My

Does your family circle involve a variety of people?

Yes. My mom loves being occupied, My sister really "charismatic", and my dad loves playing guitars and some video games. My grandma's slightly obsessive about some things, and my grandpa is very serious most of the time.

Different generations?

Yes, my grandparents and my cousins' children.

Explain the following quote:
"Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities"

Every family can be attached to others through marriage, making hundreds of thousands of possibilities of people.

Copyright laws.

Copyright is the confirmation that you made something, or that credit has been taken for something. Copyrighting is here so that people cant take credit for something they didn’t do, or have someone steal an product idea and give it a different name, and try selling it, saying it’s original. Copyright law protects the ownership of ideas. There are copyright laws to make sure no one steals ideas from others. Fair use is an act that doesn’t infringe upon copyrights. It completely covers what you want to do. A man, Harrison was accused of copying a song through his subconcious. If he did it subconciously, it doesnt make sense to punish him, even if he did steal it. School websites cant have copyrighted material because it’s still public. Nearly all things on the internet are copyrighted. Creative commons means some rights reserved. It allows the product to be edited under certain situations.

Logic gone Fuzzy

Fuzzy logic is a simpler way of doing computer action, rather than binary logic. A good example is a light turning on and off. A binary light has 1 and 0, on and off. A fuzzy light could be 20% on and 80% off, and rise or fall each way. Binary is very rigid in structure, but fuzzy logic is more loose. I'm not sure if it will affect many products, but more of how they work in a small scale. Then robots will come and destroy us all in the Armageddon.

Blo3g about Families

As part of a school project, we have to blog about our families. I'm going to answer the following questions in order of however I feel like it.

What's your idea of what a family can be?
Who is in your family circle? <-- I don't understand the question.
What is your family like?
Does your family circle involve a variety of people? <-- Again, what is a family circle?
Different generations?
Explain the following quote:"Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities" <-- don't understand the quote...

A family to me is a group of people who are related through blood and physical (and sometimes mental) attributes. To many they mean the world, to others, not so much. They accept each other into other families through marriage to make even larger families, though most don't think of the relatives of in laws as direct family too often, if at all. If you trace lines back far enough, everyone is related some way or another.

My family is kind of separated right now. My sister, Kendra, is in France, studying abroad, my Dad's family lives in Southern California, and my Mom's family lives mostly in Wisconsin. The only other relatives that within an hour from here is my dad's twin and my grandparents. My sister has an "attraction" to winning games and being the best, my mother finds entertainment in feeling accomplished and working, and my dad plays video games and plays guitar most of the time.

I have all four of my grandparents, though one of them has altheimer's. My Dad's parent's live in Southern California like the rest of his family, and My Mom's parents live a little more near here. One of my grandmas is really Greek, and as a result we celebrate Greek Easter.

first blo3g.

Please note that every time that I use the word blo3g, it will have a 3 in it. You have been warned.

Hello. I'm Darren, I'm 14, I have a mild addiction to sugar, I love drawing, (you can see my stuff here,) my right eye cant see my left unless I look in a mirror, and I'm still confused as to why a blind man would see a silent movie.
