Captains Blog Stardate 05032013 3D Computers

I kinda think this is more of a gimmick than a helpful feature. Video games have features like Kinect or Play Station Move, yet people continue to use traditional controllers the majority of the time. If it works right it should be easy to use, but that's a big if. I think these computers will be limited to concepts, prototypes and science fiction films. Despite all the Augmented Reality, Touchscreen and Motion Control, I still prefer my keyboard and mouse.

It looks cool though...

Captain's Blog Stardate 03032013 Week In Pictures

Ok, so according to the caption "Boys play on the roof of the entrance to a football stadium in Gao, Mali, on Feb. 20." It looks like that kid in the orange is falling, probably to his death. The kid dangling off the roof is probably going to fall to his death as well. Also, where are the responsible adults??? Like seriously, these kids are dangling off the roof!

This...does not look safe...

Captains Blog Stardate 04012013 Sequester

The sequester is a bunch of cuts to federal spending. It will be alot of layoffs, alot of other stuff, but alot of layoffs. We've known it was coming I love how this article compares our situation to a bad sequel to a movie we've all seen before. First is was the budget crisis last year. Next we had the good ol' fiscal cliff. That was fun... Now we've had the dreaded sequester. I think this is a bad plan, as are most of the plans that come out of capitol hill. Ohh well...there's my rant for the day...

Wow...I hadn't heard about this till after the boy was rescued!  That was a brave bus driver. I wonder if I would have the guts to do something like that. I like to think that I would. The man who did this probably had some serious problems. I almost wish he would have lived through it so that he could face the court.  Here's another article on the situation

Captains Blog Stardate 02252013 Spring Break Blog

I can't wait till Spring Break! Every year spring break excites me, and this year is no different! In fact, this year I'm even more excited! Normally I stay home for spring break, but this year I'm going to London. I signed up for the trip in June and I've been excited ever since. It's with the school. I had to get a job and save up all summer to be able to go, but it's all gonna be worth it!

CANT FREAKIN WAIT

Captains Blog Stardate 02042013 Flyin' Cars

I'm not such a fan of flying cars. Think about traffic. Traffic is awful. Now, imagine traffic in three dimensions! That would be awful. What about wrecks? The force of a head on collision is bad enough! If you had flying cars that would have the added impact of free fall and crashing. Flying Cars look great and sound like a good idea, but in practice they wouldn't be so great.

However, car chase scenes are SOOO much better with flying cars.
