So my 12th grade was crap. Worst experience I ever had in a school before.  So me and other teachers decide a way to get my last and final credit, yes that’s right only one credit for Language Arts.  So I completed that, in fact I did it a little early.  When the time came out for graduation – that was hell by the way.   You know how the send/give you info for graduation, like dates, your gown stuff and all that crap?  Well I got that when it was too late!

So I got a little paper which they call the final transcript, and a few other things.  It says the date when I graduated,  Since I couldn’t go and frankly to tell you the truth I didn’t want to go and be part of this bullshit, since I had nothing but problems the final couple years at this school.  I could of screwed up and maybe I had, but I’m not really sure.

So they said that they were going to send me my diploma in the mail and I said ok.  So I waited and waited, about almost 4 months.  Never got it, so I contacted them about a billion times and never got a response back and so I tried contacted them and I finally got  a response saying that they were going to get it made and get it shipped to me and I been waiting for around a month and a half now.

A while back I also found out that I was never on the list of graduating students, they never had my diploma made and they normally put the names of graduating students in the news paper, well my name never made it in, but others students did, even the ones that weren’t there!

Why is this happening to me?  I did everything I was told to do, why can’t I get a diploma like other students.  I always been singled out in school. 

I can tell you one thing, Harwood Union High School has the worst administration in the history of schools.

If you want to get this Windows 7 Whopper, you will have to go to Japan to get one.  This Whopper is only available for seven days only, completing this run of sevens.

Microsoft is hoping for a fresh start with Windows 7, after a poor reception for Vista, the previous version of the software that runs most on the world’s personal computers.

Microsoft has a reputation for quirky ad campaigns, most recently a strange series with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. This particular ad may leave a bad taste in your mouth, as well. After all, the company has been criticized for releasing top-heavy, bloated operating systems. A blog on the Computerworld theorizes that “this could be one of its worst promotional ideas ever.”

Well today is the 57th anniversary of the day the first patent was made on the bar code.  Inventors Norman Woodland and Bernard Silver filed the patent on October 1949, and it was granted, No. 2,612,994 on October 7, 1952.  The original patent was for a system that would encode data in circles, so that it could be scanned in any direction.

The barcode you see on the Google’s homepage today is code 128 encoded, which is a standard way of encoding ASCII character strings into a barcode. 

The barcode is a technical innovation that has become an often unnoticed part of everyday modern day life.  The format is a global standard, where a scanner from any manufacturer can interpret almost any conforming barcode from anywhere’s.  The barcode is a great example of why uniform protocols and standards serve a greater good for everybody.

I did lower the quality of the images because when they are high quality they take longer for the page for some people.  When you click on the image you will be giving the higher quality image.

After I decided not to go with the Razer, I looked at the Logitech G11, which is like the G15’s younger brother.  it didn’t have LCD, or the cool feeling keys, I was going to get that because it was cheaper than the G15 but then I found out that it’s huge and I didn’t want this huge keyboard on my desk.   It was only larger because it had 54 macro keys and mine, the G15 V2 only has 6 per 3 banks which is 18 total.  I don’t think I will even use all of them but they are handy.  If you play WOW, or other games that require a ton of macro keys, then get the Logitech G11 or the G15 V1 (you will have to buy it used or maybe you can find it brand new for a ton of money).

So all in the end, I went with the Logitech G15 V2 and I think it was a fantastic decision.  I love the amber light, I think it’s better than the Blue because the Blue feels a little harsh on the eyes, this amber color is suppose to be easy on your eyes.   They keys also have really nice tactile feed back, they feel really great when typing, I think I type better on this keyboard than I did on my old one.  The LCD screen is really cool,  You can do a lot with it, you can have it display the song that you are listening to, the time, email, IRC, game information, network bandwidth, bunch of other stuff.

if your a gamer or not a gamer, it doesn’t matter this keyboard is amazing.  I truly is, If your looking for a keyboard I highly suggest this keyboard.

I give this keyboard 9.5 out of 10.  The reason why I gave this keyboard 9.5 is because of the Wrist Rest doesn’t screw on and it can fall off or break as other people have said.  The second thing is the USB ports on the back are pointless, they could at least make them USB 2.0 instead of 1.1, They did 1.1 because it’s sharing one usb port and it’s not powered. I would of liked it if it only had one USB port that took up another USB port on your computer, which would be fine to me.  How ever I don’t use the ports anyways, So it’s not that big of a deal.

I did do a review video of the keyboard and please forgive me if I do not talk well, The camera isn’t the best at recording audio and I’m not that good talking in general anyways so please be respectful, that’s all I ask.  Thanks.

Well I found this website called iNudge and basically call you do is create music.  It is very cool and I just wanted to share it.

The screen capture utility built into Vista didn’t make it into all versions of the OS.  Here’s how to turn on if you have it how to upgrade if you don’t have it. 

After I wrote Vista’s Snipping Tool, I noticed when I reinstalled my computer and went to go use the Snipping Tool, it wasn’t there! On another note, If you have Windows Vista Basic, you do not have the snipping tool.  Vista Basic is basically Windows XP with a pretty face, It didn’t even come with Windows aero! and many other features that are featured in other versions of vista.  So if you have Vista Basic, just upgrade to Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate (Vista Ultimate is the one I use).  If you want to do more comparison, check out Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows.

So as long as you don’t have Vista Basic, you already have the Snipping Tool. (Choose Start, All Programs, Accessories, Snipping Tool) If you don’t see it there, it may not be activated.  Which was my problem and I figured out how to activate the Snipping Tool.  Go to Control Panel and Open Programs and Features (You will or may have to click Programs first).  In the task pane on the left click Turn Windows features on or off.  If Necessary click Continue when prompted by UAC (User Account Control).

Once you have the screen above visible, you may have to wait a few seconds for it load.  Scroll through the lists of features, check the box next to Tablet PC Optional Components, and click OK.  Turning on these features gives you not only the Snipping Tool, but also the Tablet PC input panel, Windows Journal and other stylus-related features.
