Flight of the navigator

One of my fav. childhood movies. I have been hearing talk of a remake on this and really feel that this doesn't need to be remade at all. Here I have found the entire movie on YT! Enjoy happy *note: the frame rate kinda sucks but it's still worth a watch.

what have I become?

what have I become? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Lately I have been
reflecting on the past and how different I was when I was younger. Being raised by
christian parents, both emotionally intimate with their God and devotional. I
remember those days being very happy times, at least the first few years before I
turned into an asshole. Anywho, I have noticed the changing scene sweeping accross
youtube and the web, people everywhere, including the government and schools around
the country, are slowly (or scary fast depending on how you look at it) denying the
existence of a God and instead turning to the knowledge we have obtained of even such a thing
existing. We as humans are gifted with 6 senses, yes 6.

Sight-we can see physical objects, only if illuminated by light, with our eyes. The
sight can be one of the most influential senses we have. What we see or witness with
our eyes, whether it be on tv or in real, life has a dramatic affect on us. If we
see something we believe that it actually occured because we saw it! Some things we
can't see however, such as wind, ultraviolet light or other frequencies of
electromagnetic radiation. Over the years we have used the brilliant intellect of
our powerful minds to devise ways around that by constructing visiual aids to help
us detect faint star systems deep in space or zoom in on the DNA strands that are
the blueprint of who we are.

Hearing-most people can hear sounds and when taught at an early age, or even just by being around persons speaking, they will learn to listen and understand what is being said to them. Hearing is a very great thing, especially if you actually listen and understand. Music ties into this sense deeply, there is a lot of emotion in songs and instrumental music that can cause you to feel sad, relaxed/sleepy, energetic, angry or even scared. The type of music a person listens to and likes can tell somewhat of that persons private life (in a way) and how they reflect/view their past life and how the cope with daily life.

Smell-now a lot of you may remember those commercials a while back about a fragrance for men that stated "scent is the strongest sense tied to memory" well it is. Have you ever smelled something and then a flood of memories of your childhood, camp or some other place followed soon after detecting that smell? it's called the olfactory bulb and has been speculated that it can be used to help people remember, perhaps those with amnesia. the nose knows! It too can be decieving however! For example, do you like cheese? have you ever smelled certian cheeses? they smell like stinky feet right? eww lol but it taste oh so good! mmm Some things we can't really detect with scent but can strongly taste them, for some spices that is true, don't try to smell pepper but you can taste it.

Taste-I sorta covered some of that with the last sense, it is tied into smell to a great degree. Try eating your dinner with a clothespin on your nose and you'll see what I mean. Taste is wonderful, being able to savor flavors and to enjoy satisfying a craving for something sweet or sour or whatever. The taste of something can even effect the faces a person makes, eat a lime or lemon and you might make a 'sour face' expression eat something hot and spicey and you can actually beging to perspire. (this is because hot spices stimulate the circulation and therefore raise body temperature though its not completely certain why it happens since the sauce or whatever isn't actually temperature hot)

Touch-this can be an important factor between expressing love with someone. It also is our bodies defense system with the outside world, if something is really hot the heat radiated from it can be detected before you actually physically touch it or even if you do touch it, the pain response and reflex is usually very quick to prevent severe burns.

Emotion-to me the sixth sense is not the uncanny ability to talk to and see dead people but emotion. Emotions and the dream state most people recieve on a good night sleep is part of the so called "supernatural realm" or the unseen world. the subconscious mind is most likely always active while a person is alive. It is not noticable enough that you can focus on it and make much use of it say while operating a vehicle or playing a game of street hockey or what not but it's always there. The human mind itself is the very reason the other five senses even work at all. The mind is extremely powerful if you can figure out how to use it properly and not polute your body with drugs or engage in a repetative sexual activity that may in fact diminish it. I wish I could explain in detail what I want to but unfortunately I can not. Even if I filmed myself, which would explain a bit better as body language can illustrate certain things a little better than the typed text here, I am not completely aware of the effect it may have on the community of which I don't associate with much. I only live in one location and can't determine how people from other societies view us or vice versa. Whatever nvm. This world we live in is full of illusions and phenomena that even the likes of James Randi can agree on. There are just some happenings that occur that have no explaination or that can be 100 percent understood by us. Science is a great education and I myself love and am fascinated by scince and how much we've discovered and learned about ourselves and our world and even universe! Although we strive to gain concrete evidence and proof of things we can't always see physically everything around us.

Even science has been wrong in the past, not everything that has become a scientific law or rule is 100 percent completely true or certain. Most of it is but there are things such as the biggie, "where did we come from? why are we who we are?" or my favortie "why does life suck so bad sometimes?" Now before you bash me i do realize that this is not in any way a scientific law or anything of the sort yet because it is still being debated and studied.this has been debated over and over again throughout the ages even before science was science! Now it has been proven that species evolve or adapte to their surroundings and will eventually physically change to cope with the extremes of that enviroment over time. (grow thicker coats of fur claw size increase/diminish, larger lung capacity in high altitude locations) If science and the minds within the scientists have their ways we will be able to speed up the process of evolving. what if one day we could inject a serum of some kind or plug in to a mind arithmetic enhancement device that programs the brain to do tasks that you never have really done, such as fly a plane or play an instrument like you've played it for most of your life. The ability to inject genius into a person? Hmmm what if it actually is already a fact that stuff like this exists already and we aren't being included in it? :O Would you feel envious if certian individuals are granted talents that you do not posess yourself? probably. Whatever you don't really want to know. OK, don't dwell on it to much...at least not you muahahaha..oh.

Science has always been my favorite subject in school. When we were given assignments I would usually already have known the answers to it or at least a general way of how it works so I'd read other chapters deeper into the text book. At the school library I'd look for Einstien, Nikola Tesla, Newton, Ben Franklin, Galileo, Edison and other famous briliant minds to research and understand better. I love to know what they knew! I tried solving things on my own too using the observation, hypothesis, experiment and conclusion process and made pretty good assessments on things I had not actually understood and then researched it to see what others came up with. Science defines who we really are, it is in our nature to figure out things and why/ how they work and how to make better use of things so that we don't have to build houses out of rock and mud and eat raw fish.

So..where am I getting at with this post? would you like to know? I'll tell ya...come here...closer....GOD!!!!

I thought i posted this already

More POWER!

,

just admit it, we all want more power. A powerful leader, not hinting on anyone in particular, will always desire to have more power! MORE POWER TO RULE OVER MY MINIONS AND TO CONTROL THEIR MINDS!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! whistle Such a horrible thing that causes envy towards each other or a strange thought process where your mind says that if something bad should happen you'll morph into a cyborg assassin. Ok, nvm that part.

You as well have this power hungry thing going on too. Example: for me it's with computers, I have a fast PC but would much like to acquire a Core i7 980x with 24gigs of ram or the decommissioned blue gene supercomputer just to feel superior. others want to quench their thirst for power by getting a powerful vehicle or bigger, louder sound systems (aka subwoofers that annoy the crap out of everyone.) During the holiday seasons we want to have better fireworks, I'm throwing snaps while the people across the street detonate M-1000s...yeah. The great governments of the world do the same thing where they want better faster and deadlier tanks, aircraft and so on. More capable satellites and of course a bigger nuclear stockpile. faint
This is how much we have evolved: monkey banana doh

This post doesn't mean anything, I was just bored and wanted to type to keep my body temp up since it's like cold enough to turn water to ice. *gasp* I can walk on water!!! The ice, is it not water? BEHOLD! LOL On another note, we are expecting some snow showers in the next couple of days and I will sacrifice my life to retrieve 1080p footage of it. I wanted to try different editing techniques and see which profession I would like to pursue, Model photography *meh* or landscape/panoramic photography *win* Yes, I realize I said 1080p footage, which in fact is not still photos but moving picture but this intrigues me a lot too.



I like the end with the piano and the fish.

Started a new project

, , , ...

And here it is:


This massive machine may be as old as time but it is actually worth fixing, here's why. First of all, it is the first Pentium I with MMX technology I've owned, excluding PII and all the newer pc's. Second, I upgraded the RAM to it's maximum of 128MB, the Ram is EDO which basically means extremely old. I guess the real reason I've decided to do this is because I'm bored and I have all sorts of old computer peripherals.

Here is a shot inside the case, notice how clean it is:


The heat sink and fan was put in by me as the last heatsink had old chipping thermal paste and didn't wick the heat away well. when playing videos or duke nuke 3d with the fan and heatsink it has now it is warm to the touch as opposed to burning hot. There is one small problem I've come across however, after installing 4x32MB of the EDO RAM it only reads 32 and sometimes 48MB of it. At first I figured it was the OS (windows 95) but now I'm not so sure. It reads this same amount on the BIOS test during bootup too. I don't know to much about EDO ram but I do have several other sticks of 32MB to try. Could be that the ram is not the right type or maybe the Mobo just is being rebellious.

Locating the right OS. Any input on this subject is welcome from anyone who happens to come across these postings. I have searched for OSes that might run on an old pc like this and most of the ones that seemed would work for sure are distros of linux. One in particular I have already considered downloading soon is Slackware. I have a feeling I will be trying a few installs of different flavors of Linux to get this hardware to work right. now check out the wicked sick dial-up card that was in this thing.




Specs so far:
Pentium I MMX 200mhz
128mb EDO ram (not reading correctly)
2gb hdd (I have set aside a 10gig in hopes that it is recognized by the mobo)
s3 virge onboard graphics
currently running windows 95 striped of most vital drivers, including ethernet/LAN and USB. In fact it wasn't even reading the floppy drive correctly lol it is a standard 3 1/2" but it read a 5 1/4" This is why a new OS is required. Now then...here are hi res pics of Gemma Atkinson

Note: another reason for this is that it could be a backup just incase something goes terribly wrong with my laptop. Also, I recently gave away my last machine to my sister who won't stop nagging me about how slow her PIII was. It was the second fastest pc I had...specs? ok

Celeron 440 conroe-L 2.0Ghz
1Gb ddr2
128mb GMA 3100 video (played 720p hd lagged with 1080p)
100Gigs hard drive.

current machine is a laptop "desktop replacement" Dell Inspiron 17r
it's specs are:
Core i5 460m 2.53Ghz (turbo up to 2.8ghz)
confused about video card but it reads around 2Gb and is capable of playing Crysis and CnC RA3 and 1080p plays fluidly.
6Gb DDR3 ram
640GB HDD
Windows 7 home
Blu-ray/dvd+rw/CDRW combo drive
wifi and on and on. I like specs bigsmile

UPDATE
I just finished installing a clean copy of Windows 98se on this. It seems to be working ok but I have a lot of updating to do before I can really get any use out of it. I was thinking of either using this or the pentium 3 machine i have lined up to play some of the older games from time to time. CnC RA2 and Diablo 2 LOD (two of my fav. games from when all I had was that P3 pc). So later on when ppl wake up I will throw in a cd-rom drive and HDD into the p3 and install 98 on it and hopefully, if all goes well, I can use isomagic virtual cd drive to mount the iso's of those games and all that. smile
