Techno-Buzz Keeps Me Away

admin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:15:40 +0000

There are 2 new technological “innovations,” if you want to call them that, which I have zero interest in and I’ll tell ya why.

1. Twitter

Just the name alone is super lame. Even lamer though, are people who are like, “Yeah, I updated my Twitter.” or “Follow me on Twitter.” There are an overwhelming amount of social networking sites, which I believe are achieving the antithesis of their goal. We are becoming more plugged into the computer, not each other. We are losing communication skills, not gaining them. Twitter is just one more unappealing, poorly named social fad that I’m just not getting into.

2. Blu-ray

What the hell is this? We just get accustomed to DVDs, VHS is officially obsolete; rather than just enjoy the DVD format and all its amenities, it’s onto Blu-Ray. Well, you know what? Fuck Blu-ray! Until I find a compelling reason to bypass DVDs (like the freezing up when the disc is scratched), no Blu-Rays for me. I don’t even want to know what they are or how they work – I don’t care! It just sounds like another fly-by-night gadget of waste, like the laser disc or HD radio

Do you want to feel a new experiment of the diagram? Or do you have a child who with the curiosity and the talent raised in art, drawing particularly? If you all have this condition, should test this single to you, or I can say of strange product. This product will encourage you to have new experience to also draw it with the great chance to give you the headache. Thus, which is the product about which we speak here?

It is the trimming of the 3D drawing. Thus, which is the trimming of the diagram 3D? This trimming of diagram will give you the experiment of the diagram 3D when you move your pen to make the line on paper in this product. And you will have visual who it line that you right aspiration will float or major energy above paper. This product contains sheet 50 of paper. Thus you can have much recreation with this product. And this product has the full zones which you can employ for your diagram. This document of measured product has 6”L x 25”W x 8.25”H.

This product also equipped with the glasses with two colors different of objective. It with the objective blue right and the red left objective. And the effect which mentioned before can only is seen by the use these glasses.
