The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round - it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a very long time and they begin to question; is this real or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered and they come back to us saying "Hey don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."

And we... kill those people.

"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real."

Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride and we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice right now between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it on feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space together, both inner and outer, forever in peace.

I Got The Power

Friday, 10. July 2009, 10:07:42

The problem with phones getting more powerful is that they aren't getting more full of power.

Mobile technology has been moving pretty fast recently. New operating systems have risen up, more applications keep us connected to the web, processing power has tripled this year alone, and screen resolution has been increased dramatically. Almost every area of mobile phones has been enhanced in the past few years with one notable exception - the battery. All these improvements are being made yet the power for them still comes from the same sort of battery that was running phones eight or nine years ago. Something has got to give eventually. We need better batteries. Luckily I'm not the only one that thinks so. There are a few things on the way that will increase the battery power available to phone users even before the next generation arrives and each technology, as it approaches the problem differently, can be used together.

Imposed Captions Test

Thursday, 9. July 2009, 12:29:47

Don't mind me. I'm just testing out a theory I have about how to create imposed captions in different positions, which can be useful for certain posts. It's not quite done yet, but have a look over. You may find something you can use in there.

Caption Test Text 1

Caption Test Text 2

Caption Test Text 3

Anyone interested in this can find the code below:

<div style="width:100%;height:200px;background:url(http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/s/0983/6da07eaf90c64998addd1695e097f242.jpg) no-repeat;padding:5px;position:relative;"><h1  style="font-size:30px;color:red;width:100%;text-align:center;">Caption Test Text 1</h1><h1  style="font-size:20px;color:white;width:100%;text-align:left;text-shadow:gray 2px 2px 2px;">Caption Test Text 2</h1><h1 style="font-size:40px;color:blue;width:100%;text-align:right;bottom:0;">Caption Test Text 3</h1></div>

As you can see I'm having problems getting the blue caption to go to the bottom and stay within the image. Anyone got any ideas?

Who Ya Gonna Call?

Wednesday, 8. July 2009, 09:58:40

This is possibly the coolest news story I've read in quite some time. I've been following it since last year, and trying to see whether it would turn out to be a hoax. So far it hasn't.

When a couple returned home on December 12th 2008 from a vacation, they found their house had been burgled while they were away. Furthermore the burglar was still in the house. The couple found the 36 year old house breaker in a state of panic, fatigued and dehydrated. Once they were over the shock they called an ambulance and the police.

Here's where the story gets interesting. The unnamed burglar had broken into the house in Kuala Lumpa three days before the couple's return and claims that a ghost held him prisoner there without food or water until the family's return. He says that whenever he attempted to leave a supernatural figure shoved him to the ground, even when he'd given up trying to take the things he'd stolen.

Anyone else want a ghostly burglar alarm for Christmas?

Prophesy Fulfilled

Tuesday, 7. July 2009, 15:55:22

,

The ancients speak of a day when the stars and planets shall align and something that people believe would never happen shall come to pass. I believe today is that day.

The dark clouds gathered over the internet, as the foretold alignment of planets defined the actions of those men who had waited millenia. The storm crashed through the clouds with a thunderous roar, almost immediately followed by the flash of lightning tearing the sky apart. Men and women alike huddled close together with their families, sure that the end was upon them.

And so it came to pass that the unforseen day did finally arrive and Gmail did leave it's beta state of five years and became a full product.

Chocolates

Tuesday, 7. July 2009, 08:57:35

Life is like a box of chocolates:

  • It's a gift and if you think the person who gave it you doesn't want anything in return, you're sorely mistaken.
  • At first the box is so exciting. You pull off the paper and look at all the options open to you.
  • A moment of kindness makes you open the box to people you know, offering them the choices that are open to you.
  • When your family and friends get stuck in, taking all the good stuff, they leave you with only the choices that no-one else would choose.
  • You look at your box in surprise, wondering where all the good stuff went, checking out the menu to see what you're missing out on.
  • The box ends up in the trash a lot quicker than you thought it would, and you're left with nothing while everyone else is still savouring what they took from you.

I want you to remember something guys, just because you've finished one box of chocolates, doesn't mean you can't go out and get another, being a little more careful who you let get involved with this one. Go on, treat yourself.
:wink:
