Retard much?

In Hickory, North Carolina cops were able to solve in record time the mystery of the two cash registers taken from the Captain's Galley restaurant. When they were looking around, they discovered a long trail of white registry tape. They followed it for about 50 yards to an apartment, where they found the thief trying to pry the registers open.

What I wanna know is, when he went into the room and turned around to close the door, how did he NOT see the tape that was on the floor leading all the way back to the restaurant. He probably thought that by the time he got back the police would already be there and so tried to get it open and run away before the police got there. Well, that obviously failed. With a ph. PHAILED.

OK so what do you guys think about this? Where would you go if you had 2 stolen cash registers? Your house? Your friend's house? The sewers? Tell me in the comments! Oh and one thing if you want awesomeness click here:AWESOMENESS :)

New York is video gaming dog facing pretzels and handstand. lolwut?

Hey guys!

I have just arrived in NY, and I don't know weather to be happy or sad.
I'm happy because
1. Kent finally posted (ass hole -.-)
3. My computer in NY is PWN :D
8. My internet in NY is PWN :D
1000. I just got off the plane. Thank god.

I'm SAD because
1. My friends are back in Taiwan D:
5. MOSQUITOES! ARGHHH
249201. My big dogs had to be left in Taiwan D:

SO
anyways..
This shall be the start of the video gaming section!

Microsoft has teamed up with COD (Call of Duty), so that everything Call of Duty (map packs, etc.) will go to the XBOX 360 one entire month before going to the PS3 and PC. Now that may piss off some PS3 and PC players, but that being said, XBOX 360 is SO MUCH BETTER!
Just kidding
Personally, I do like the XBOX 360 better, but hey; that's just my opinion.
In other news, Call of Duty: Black Ops will allow gamers to play COD:BO's multiplayer on September the first, so all you lovers of COD out there, stay tuned!


That's all for today, 'cause I literally just got off a plane and I'm kinda tired..
Good night all, and tell people about our blog! Thanks!

Kent's Tech Stuff

Hy guys! Sorry again for the one day delay. Really my bad. But I had a date. I'm sure you guys understand right? :D

EmotionML... how would you like your computer to cheer you up when you're feeling down, calm you down when you are feeling pissed off, or provide you with porn when you are feeling a little horny. It just warms the cockles of my heart knowing that my computer will all ways know when I'm in the mood. Always there to provide for me (sorry if that joke was inappropriate ladies). I'm kidding. BUT! The World Wide Web Consortium has developed EML. Kinda like HTML. Hyper Text Markup Language. That's the standard language for developing websites today. EML stands for Emotion Markup Language. This may sound a little far fetched for what a heartless calculating machine can do, but WWWC really does intend to make computers be able to respond to your emotions. This means that your computer could pick up your emotions when you are video chatting with someone and make your avatar smile or look angry depending on whatever your emotion is. This also means that the difficulty for video games is going to be adaptive. The difficulty will adjust depending on how you react. I don't really know when we can expect this technology in our computers, but I can tell you that it probably won't be within the next five years.

Next...

Just something I want to pitch to you guys here. You know how our cell phones and smart phones mostly use the 3G network? Well, apparently there's a 3.5G network in use... I didn't even know that? Did you guys know that?

Moving on...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I think this is the worst piece of tech news yet. AMD killed... killed... the ATI BRAND!!!! NOOOOO. (Image courtesy of engadget.com) So for all of you ATI lovers out there lets have a moment of silence. Now all their products will be called... AMD RADEON. And thats just not the same.








I'll leave it at that today folks. I'm going to be crying myself to sleep tonight.

Embarrasing Moments

The title says it all.
For example:
Me: Good night dad, love!
Me: Good night Terra, love!
Me: Good night Devin, love! CRAP!

For those of you who don't know, Devin is my sisters boyfriend.
Yes.
Very embarrasing.
What are your most embarrasing moments? Please post in the comment section below, and tell people about the blog! Thanks!

This Week's Topic: Stupid Criminals

So for today I would like to talk about Adam Juarez Ramirez. He thought he could become a cop without taking the test. He thought he had it all figured out. Well, he was arrested in Grapevine, Texas after pulling over a driver on the road on his pickup truck with flashing lights and even a fake police ID, which he had made by blacking out a restaurant gift card and etching in the word POLICE in it. It would have been great except for the fact that he kept the restaurant's logo, a jalapeño pepper surrounded by the words "Chipotle Mexican Grill". So I want to ask you guys, if you could be a cop for a day, what would you do? Tell me in the comments below, and make sure you tell everyone about our blog!

Video gaming section/BEACHHHH

Hey guys!

Not many people seem to be reading our blog, so I'm going to start up a video gaming section. It goes for everything gaming; weather it be XBOX, PS3, PC, Wii.. eBox? I guess so. Anyways...


I went to the beach today with the big dogs, my sister and Devin (my sisters boyfriend). It was one wild ride. In the car, I had to keeo the big dogs from drooling all over my sister, or else she would cut my head off with a piece of paper. I was very curious about how she would do that, so I tried letting the dogs drool on her once. Alas, I am holding my head with my left hand and typing with my right.

Just kidding.

I didn't actually let them drool on my sister. So we got to the beach, and it was a freaking BEAUTIFUL day; absolutely gorgeous. First thing Brownie does is poop right in the middle of the parking lot. Smack in the middle. Then I found out that I forgot to bring the leashes, so I chased Brownie and Ge the whole way to the beach. The beach itself was pretty nice, though. As I said, it was a beautiful day. After about an hour of throwing a stick for the dogs, I decided to jump in the water myself and body board, since the waves were ginormous. Three seconds later, it rained like hell. Of course, I got out of the water then. 5 minutes later, the rain stopped. THEN, I looked at my shirt and found out it grew 3 times bigger because of how powerful the waves were. -.-"

Does that whole paragraph sound horrible? Well I've got to admit, I had an amazing time. The dogs loved the water, I loved the dogs, the dogs loved the stick, and the stick didn't quite like the dogs mouth. Sadly, I didn't take photos this time, but I'm going again tomorrow, and... no I'm not bringing im my camera. I want to jump in the water and not worry about the camera.

Anyways, my hands are getting tired as I'm typing on my iPad, so imma go to bed now. Good night, and tell people about my blog please!

Peace

Quick FYI

Hey guys!

That person who has the Japanese name is Kent; I don't know why he chose such a... uh... cool*ahem* name, but whatever. Just an FYI

Kent's Tech Stuff

Sorry about the delay from the last post. So here's what's going on.

The Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen filed a lawsuit against Apple, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, AOL, eBay, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, and Staples! Allen is also the founder of a company called Interval, and he says that all these major search engines and e-commerce companies are infringing upon fundamental web technologies developed by Interval in the 90's. The curious thing is that Microsoft wasn't included in the lawsuit. After all they do provide the search technology for Yahoo (which WAS on the list). Allen also refused to comment on if licensing issues had been discussed with the above companies prior to filing the lawsuit.

These are the specific patents cited in the lawsuit:

• No. 6,263,507, "Browser for Use in Navigating a Body of Information, With Particular Application to Browsing Information Represented By Audiovisual Data."

• No. 6,034,652, "Attention Manager for Occupying the Peripheral Attention of a Person in the Vicinity of a Display Device."

• No. 6,788,314, "Attention Manager for Occupying the Peripheral Attention of a Person in the Vicinity of a Display Device."

• No. 6,757,682, "Alerting Users to Items of Current Interest."

In the mean time, one of NASA's spacecrafts has spotted a multi-planet solar system. They named the system Kepler-9 after the Kepler spacecraft that found it. Little fact; the Kepler spacecraft is armed with a 95 megapixel camera. 95! Reportedly there are two Saturn-class planets and one planet around the size of Earth in the Kepler 9 system. They were able to detect the planets by measuring the dimming of starlight as planets passed in front of their sun. Within the next couple of years we should be able to say whether planets like our Earth are common or rare. As of now, there scientists have found around 300,000 systems capable of having planets like our solar system. Get ready for the aliens people!

Now for some gaming news. Lenovo, yes, LENOVO has announced their own game console. Apparently it will be a competitor for Microsoft's Kinect. Levovo's new console is called eBox. Yes, a very uncreative ripoff, I know. It will launch in China by the end of the year. Lets see if Lenovo can actually make a console to match Microsoft's Xbox and much anticipated Kinect.

Thanks for reading! I will be posting again shortly.

Weekly Subject-Kazu

So from now on, every week I'm going to have a new subject for me to talk about, and every post is going to be surrounding that topic for that week. This will be officially starting on Monday so that's it for today and I'll see you guys later. peace! just kidding. teehee. no but seriously. peace. Oh and one more thing. For your comments, post them on the main page(this goes for all 3 of our blogs) because I get confused about what you're talking about because there are so many posts on the personal page.So basically you look at the post either on the main or the other page, but you put the comment on the main. ok bye.

Stinkiest subway rider.. EVAR

I took the subway to my house today, and let me tell you; it STUNK. Not the subway itself; that smelled pretty nice.. it was the people inside it. So there I was, standing in a fully packed subway car, and the guy in front of me puts his hands up to hold the hand-holds up top. At that point, I was probably thinking about my dogs or something; I'm not sure. But then suddenly, my mind went from thinking-of-random-things mode to OMG-DON'T-BARF.-YOU-CAN-DO-IT.-I-BELIEVE-IN-YOU mode. The guy stunk like HELL! Did he NOT shower for a week or something? I doubt that cockroaches would even touch him! He smelled like a mixture of Blue Cheese, Stinky ToFu and dead Kazu. Don't ask me how I know that o.o

I couldn't stand it; I really couldn't. I got off next stop, waited for a couple of min. and took the next subway car. 

Photoshoot

Yesterday was unbelievable. Literally. My sisters friend came over, and became my sisters model. That isn't the cool part, though.. After she got into costume, my sister poured flour and water (bread materials, not.... Flower) over her friend. I have NEVER seen anyone look so much like a ghost just by using two materials!

WhoTube?

Hey guys!

I got back from school (well.. hanging out with friends at school) today, and I just sat around being bored. But then I remembered a magical thing called Youtube. Youtube has kept ME busy for the past few hours, and let me tell you; it is entertaining. No, it's better than entertaining; it's life saving. Why is it life saving? 'Cause without it, I'd probably be dying of boredom right now. Not just me, nope; millions of other Youtube users. Also it is a fantastic way to earn money! Did you know that if you are a Youtube partner (ShaneDawnson, RayWilliamJohnson, sXePhil, etc.), then you can earn so much money that you could buy a MacBook Pro in one month? That's a lot of money for just posting videos! So, tell me who YOUR favorite Youtubers are in the comment section below.

PS: Sorry for the short post; so tired today :P

Payback

Alright guys so I guess I'm not done with Justin yet. Since he did steal my job for a day, I'm going to do the same for him. So today we took yearbook photos and a class photo (whole grade) and it was pretty fun...I guess. It was funny because if one guy wanted to call someone else that was on the other side of the row he would tell the guy next to him to pass a message down the row until it got to the person. Also, if one person lost their balanced everyone is right next to each other so it;s kinda like dominoes and everyone "falls down" (from Justin's post about the earthquake :D). Yeah so that's that and I'll see you guys tomorrow!

Why do dogs lay on their backs?

Now THAT'S a question that has been bothering me for a bit over a year. I always thought that it was because they wanted to cool their belly off... I was so, so, wrong.

I did a little research today, and found out that if a dog is lying on his or her back, it could mean three things. First, it means that he or she is accepting you as his or her master. No WONDER my dogs always lie on their backs..
It could also mean that they are completely relaxed, and it just feels... good. It's the same feeling that us humans have on the beach, when we're just lying down under the sun, listening to the waves, letting the wind blow over our bodies... Damn.. Who wants to go to the beach tomorrow?
After hearing all that, you're probably thinking "so if a dog lies on his back, it is most definitely a good thing,  right? Am I right, Mr. Officer?". You wish. You're never right.

I'm kidding :D

Anyways, if a dog lies on his back with his paws covering his chest, then it means "don't touch me, don't pet me, don't do anything to me". You know, now that I think about it, that might be the reason my dogs hate me!
No, actually they don't, but they do sometimes ignore me.

Happy Birthday!!

Terra Traub.
I just want to wish you a VERY happy birthday in Taiwan!
We all love you VERY much, and Devin does, too!
Love!
Justin

I died with my hair red and didn't get saved...(take that Justin)

Ok, I'm not sure why Justin took my role of giving interesting news to you guys, but I guess since it's about dogs I'll let it go this time...

Anyway, In recent news (although not really interesting), Tiger Woods and his wife, after 6 years of marriage have finally divorced. This is of course because of the fact that he had affairs with lots of other women. But what do you guys think. Was he set up or did he really have affairs? If he had, do you think he deserved losing his wife, fans, and some of his major sponsors like AT & T and Gatorade? Leave your comments in the comment section below!

I dyed a dog blue while saving a dog.

Yes, I lied. I didn't dye a dog blue, nor did I save a dog. I did, however, dye my hair, and that is why my post is late. I'm sorry. I'm SORRY!

So I went out with my sister today to go skate boarding, when suddenly she said "Dude. We are dying your hair. Now". I was dying for air con (See what I did there?:D), so I said sure. We went into the hair saloon and my sister sat me down.. I expected they would start cutting/dying my hair immediately, right? Wrong. I sat in that chair for over an hour waiting for them to decide. Finally, the hour is over; I hear the worse news EVAR. I have to sit in that chair for 3 more hours while thy do my hair. -.-
There is a highlight of this all, though. First, part of my hair is BLUE! :D Second, they washed my hair there. Like, thrice. And it felt nice. Christ. "I dyed my hair blue, and my house is full of poo. Fine the second part is false, but the first part is true."

And that is why my post is late. Anyways, I'm posting today about a dog who saved another dogs life; I know it isn't new, but I find it SO amazing. A dog (I'll call him Apple) was hit on the highway by a car. Of course, the car can't do anything about it, 'cause it's driving on the highway, so the car keeps on moving. Apple is injured, but not exactly dead. Suddenly, out of nowhere, dog two (who I shall call... Microsoft) risks his/her life, runs into the high way, wraps his/her two front legs around Apple and drags Apple to safety! Microsoft actually risked his LIFE to save Apple. If you'd like to see the video, here is the link.  (  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5OEKA47xFI  ).

See you guys tomorrow, and thank's for staying online, Ronana!

Kent's Tech stuff

Intel microprocessor technology emerging!

Intel has created a research prototype of the worlds first silicon-based optical data connection with integrated lasers. This new link, can move up to 50 gigabits per second. This is about as much data contained in an entire HD movie. With this new technology, information within computers and other electronic devices will be transferred using lasers rather than a physical link. "The kind of change this speed increase could cause could exceed our collective imaginations. It effectively could make the location of most everything in the technology space irrelevant,"said Rob Enderle, principal with the Enderle Group. "It suggests a future," explained Enderle, "where we could have live streamed HD images from around the world. It suggests affordable HD telepresence where talking to someone thousands of miles away is no harder than looking through a window. You could have the best doctor, even if that doctor is on a different continent," Enderle mused.This could be our low cost answer to the future of computing technology!

Cheers!

Samuel Carpenter!

Long time no see! How'd you find my blog?

Is the end near?

So there have been lots...and I mean LOTS of rumors about the end of the world but is it real? Well so far everyone has been BSing it, so if you are one of those people, listen up. Apparently Stephen Hawking also thinks that if we don't find another planet to evacuate to...we are soooooo screwed. The end might be another planet colliding, it could be nuclear war, or the sun could envelope us whole. So what do you think about this. Did Stephen Hawking change your mind? Tell me in the comments!

Hey It's Kazu

Welcome

Willkommen!

Our main moderator is Justin (familiytraub), and we will be up and running soon. We appreciate comments, but we will decide what's appropriate and what's not. I, Kent (I'm using Justin's account; I don't have one yet), intend to post tech and video game news, for all you techies out there. Justin is going to post stuff that will make you smile, or laugh, and Kazu will post weird and interesting news, so stick around people! *ahem*RANA*ahem*

The Beach

So I’m heading off to the beach with my four headed.. uh... four legged friends now.. I can’t wait! The dogs will probably scratch me to pieces in the water, but hey, they’re having fun, eh? -.-

I guess I’ll tell you about my dogs before I leave. I have four dogs at home; two goldies, a toy poodle, and a dachshund. The dachshund is 3/4 the length of my arm, but his legs are smaller than my pointer finger. I think it’s hilarious because whenever he tries to jump on my bed, he has to bend down and try to propel himself up far enough. Then when his front two feet reaches the bed, he has to drag his whole body up. I love that little thing<3

Then there is my toy poodle. He is the furriest creature ever. Seriously.. his hair makes him look 3 times bigger! I know this because I once had to get his hair cut off, because it was all tangled up. In the 2 weeks it took for him to grow his hair back, he looked  like the skimpiest little guy in the world. He is VERY cute, though.

Finally, my two big dogs. One of them, Ge (pronounced Guh), I big, strong, and scared as hell. One time I took both the big dogs walking, and they saw a horse (I have no clue why there was a horse on a trail). Brownie, my other goldie who I’ll get to later, stood his ground. Ge, on the other hand, ran faster then I’ve ever seen him run, and he crashed into the wall to the side. Ouch. Aside from this, Ge is a very beautiful dog. His fur is brownish gold, and he is cuddly as a.. nevermind. When he’s bored, he likes to run into me and full force (literally), and use his body to smash into my legs. Then, he’ll rub his body against my legs, and lie down next to me. One moment, I’m screaming in agony, and the next moment I’m petting Ge.

Brownie is the ONLY girl dog in the house. Yes, her name is Brownie, but her fur isn’t browner than Ge’s. We got brownie first, so.. yeah.. Anyhow, Brownie is not afraid of much. She is stubborn though. If she doesn’t want to do something.. she just won’t! For example, if I need the dogs out of the house for a bit, Ge will go right out, and even wag his tail; Brownie on the other hand would have to be dragged/carried up the stairs. Literally. She’ll have all four paws on the ground, all her weight at her butt, and she will try to keep her head low. She’s smart; I’ve got to admit it.

EDIT: I just got back from the beach. FUN! I’ll post pictures soon.

Hello World!

Hey everyone! This is Justin, and here is my new blog. I’m going to be talking about everything that pisses me off, makes me happy, and whatever that’s in my mind!

And we all fall down...

Not really.

Well, maybe some, caused by the earthquake that Taiwan had last night. To tell you the truth, I was in my bed and I felt my bedsheets moving. Immediately, I looked down and I was about to yell at Bam Bam (my Dachshund) for clawing on the bedsheets and disturbing me, when I realized that he wasn’t there. Oh, I also realized that my TV was shaking. At that moment, I was thinking that there was either an earthquake, or there was a super fat guy walking outside my door. I wasn’t awake at ALL, so I presumed the latter. It turns out, though, it was a 5.0 magnitude earthquake.

My friend Kent wanted me to post this message.

“Yeah, who felt that? Because I know I didn’t. I sleep like a log. I won’t notice anything. Seriously, you could probably shave my head without me noticing. Did anyone feel it? Or was Justin the only one?”


Evidently, I'm NOT the only one. My friend told me that she also felt it while she was in bed, but was "too sleepy to get up and hide under the desk". I agree with her logic. I would rather die asleep than die under a desk.
