Hi it's your man C Green here ready to get this blog started.  Well today we learned that Apple has released a date for which it is going to unveil something on Jan. 27, 2010.  Most people think they are going to release the apple tablet or iSlate.  Now the apple tablet or the "ipod on steroids" as I like to call it has been rumored to be just like the iPhone or iPod Touch just a bit bigger and bulkier as it has to be able to do all the things a regular computer or labtop can do.  It will have a touchscreen interface and the first generations should cost around 1000 dollars.  Now this is a bit too pricey for me as I can barely afford books for school but I am sure the price will come down eventually as they update the software.  So if you see me around campus tapping on a big computer screen do not come up and ask me if it the apple tablet that you have been hearing about.
So today Nori and I are finishing up our powerpoint and we are going to go over it so we know what to say tomorrow.  We are trying not to make it long but we do have to go for 8 minutes so hang in there everybody.  But yeah so I watched the rest of Avatar movie yesterday and it turned out to be pretty good.  I would really like to go to Pandora in the future so I could become one of the Navi people.  How cool would that be to ride fly big monsters, shoot bows and arrows, and have sex with their women?  I think that would be the best fun lol.  So I guess I will return tomorrow for our last blog on this site.  So peace be with you everyone or as the Na'vi say "kiyevame."

Hey everyone this is christian once again.  Today Bob told us about this veteran's website that lets veterans get their medications all up to date.  I was thinking about using this for my grandpa but as he only has dial-up and has never touched his own computer I don't think this would be helpful to him unless I helped him with it.  After Bob went Mr. Acland showed us Google Analytics which is a tool that lets you paste a piece of code to your own website then google will check to see who visits your site and how many pages per visit they make and stuff of that matter.  Using this information a person could really boost their websites popularity and in the long run make a lot of money if he/she desires.  As I do not wish to make money this way I kind of zoned out lol.  Sorry Mr. Acland but instead I started watching Avatar on my computer which is not that bad if I do say so myself.  My friend Kevin told me it was one of the worst movies he ever saw so naturally I had to see if he was right.  Turns out the graphics are pretty sick if you were watching it on an IMAX screen.  It was very long though as I usually do not watch very long movies but this got my attention but I don't know how.  But anyway since my partner Nori isn't here I probably won't be doing much work today since I don't want to change anything without his permission.  We will probably be doing the powerpoint tomorrow and also working on our presentation.

Peace out,

Hello everyone this is christian again.  Just wanted to say I'm glad to be here and would not want to be anywhere other than this excellent class called Google and Beyond with emphasis on the beyond part.  Today my parner Nori went up and showed us the site of Wired.com.  It is mostly for people who enjoy reading articles about technology and gadgets.  He also showed these nifty little underwater goggles that lets you take pictures and can record a video for up to 90 mins.  I was thinking about getting these in the future just to wear on my head in case anything pops up you know.  You never know when some action will break out.  Then another guy came up and showed us the site Tvblorge.com which is a site similar to Hulu.  He showed us that you can search for episodes of your favorite tv shows on here as well as other things. 

Well today Nori and I pretty much did about nothing concerning our site considering we are very lazy and he to work on his senior presentation.  By the way good luck Nori, I hope you do well on your presentation and at your new job at Google!!! That's right everyone Nori is going to be working at Google next year.  Lol just playing but hopefully he can really get a job a google that way I can say I know someone that works at google.  Hey maybe I can go and work at apple then we can start blogging about our new products.  We could still probably use this site to do it on too.  Well as you can see I am running pretty low on words so I will end this blog with a quote from the late Mitch Hedberg about Kit-Kats.  "The Kit-Kat candy bar has the name 'Kit-Kat' imprinted into the chocolate...that robs you of chocolate! That is a clever chocolate saving technique. I go down to the factory, "You owe me some letters!"
