Yay, I’ve gone from game design, to programming, to video editing, and now finally playing a few things. Nothing big yet, but it’s not bad. Added a new Music section to the site gallery. Let me know what you guys think and how I can improve. I’m not doing any sound editing yet, just plain keyboard piano, but maybe later I’ll look into it. Some guides would be nice if you guys have any.
Life is Like a Mountain Climb
In my climb towards the summit, my goals have often centered about fields of which I am familiar, with my satisfaction being the chance to prove myself and fully exercise my potential. By focusing my goals and opportunities, I build on what I do best, expanding my base of skills and allowing each consecutive goal to lead to the success of the next. While I may not always reach the...[More]
The World At Hand
Upon reaching adulthood, these same individuals only double their attitudes; their issues remain more or less of the same importance. Ownership can no longer be resolved in small quarrels;...[More]
eBay Spoof Emails
Seems to be a lot going around lately. Got another spoof email - this time pretending to be eBay. Funny thing is it asked a question about something I was supposedly selling - but I never sell anything.
Subject:
Question from eBay member- eluxeauctions.

Passing of Times
A Day's Lost
I did not understand; I had almost straight As - perhaps one B. I opened my mouth to protest, but immediately she thrust her finger into my right eye.
"Son! Why do you have a scar on your cheek? Wash it off!"
I stared...[More]
Five Fingers
In broad daylight, it was easy to see that he held up all five fingers; whether he held them intentionally or he simply waved his entire hand carelessly, it was not clear. It did not matter what answer was given or if any was given to him at all. If I suggested five, he would merely insist the thumb was not a finger; if I suggested four, he would say otherwise. If I did not answer or I answered wrong, I'd just be blind.
Sometimes people forget that I was once able to see just as well as any of them. When much younger and not ruined by misadvice and overwork, not being able to see was unheard of; it was inconceivable. Warned as we were, told to be on the watch for any signs of blur or fatigue, none of us could imagine the seemingly distant notion actually becoming reality. Seeing was a divine right, an...[More]
Pining Over Apples
How wrong it was. With a heavy thud, it crashed and rolled about the tabletop, helpless on its side, rolling hopelessly without an end. With a simple plunge of the knife, blade delving deep, the coat was split. Restrained by nothing more than my bare hands, the leafy blades...[More]
Deciding on New Domain Name
Trying to decide on another domain name… There won’t be any real purpose for the site yet, so I’m trying to keep it just catchy and memorable (nothing hard to spell).
Vote Here for the Domain I Should Use
I’m also trying to decide between Bluehost and Lunarpages for the hosting company, so if you’ve any experience with them, I’d be greatful on any insight of the two companies.
Things to Think About
- To yourself, you are everything. To everyone else, you are nothing.
- Go all out. Never hold back. It's worse to do something part way than to not do it at all. The worst that can happen is overdoing it and succeeding.
- There's no reason to do something if you don't intend to do it. There's no reason to live if you don't want to make life worth living.
- Treat the world as if it's flat because most of the time it will be.
- Life adapts to its environment before trying to change it.
- Just because you aren't flawless doesn't mean you shouldn't try to be.
Just Because You Aren't Flawless
A Flat World
Insomnia Film Festival
A team I'm part of at school worked from 6am Saturday Oct.13 till past 3am Sunday morning to finish our video for the Insomnia Film Festival. The contest this time determines their winner entirely on PUBLIC rating, so we need as many people as possible to rate the video full score.
- Go to the Insomnia Film Gallery and find the following videos: Unwanted Company
- Rate it accordingly (excellent prefered ). You will need to be logged into an Apple account; if you don't have one, make one! We spent 21 hours on this; you can spare a few minutes of your time please?

New Amazon Spoof Email
For the unwary - there’s been a new Amazon spoof email supposedly asking you to verify your account ownership at Amazon. It may seem very authentic (has proper recipient info + sender email etc). The links are even displayed as “amazon.com”, but actually clicking it would lead to a completely different site (the page just looks like Amazon). Just something to keep a heads up on.
For the curious, here is what the email stated:
Greetings from Amazon Payments.

Playback MPEG2 and AVCHD
Been looking around for a codec to play MPEG2 and AVCHD for a long time now. My computer can play MPEG2, but no thumbnails are visible for the files. AVCHD just comes to a standstill.
I did however, come across a very nice solution.
