Animal Kingdom

This was a funny storyline for my animation proposal for my information technology class. It has been a very long time since I've updated my blog but I will start posting again!

   "King Donkey passed by the dark swamps of the kingdom of King Croc. A disturbance was bothering the kings and today was the day of the meeting of the three kings, King Donkey, King Croc, and King King Cobra. As King Donkey stepped on the marshy swamp, three shadowy figures rose from the bushes. The figures threw poison dart cookies and King Donkey took out a can of Red Bull. The shadowy figures appeared to be assassins and King Donkey had lots of experience against assassins from playing Assassins Creed. Once he finished the Red Bull, King Donkey grew wings and he flew away. Flying with great speed, King Donkey used his incredible eyesight to spot King Croc. King Croc was busy polishing his teeth but King Donkey had to get the word out. The zookeeper alliance are coming against us, we must push aside our differences and unite as one. King Croc seemed to not pay attention as he slurped loudly on his Oreo milkshake, and slithering from the door was King King Cobra. King Donkey always was jealous of King King Cobra, for King King Cobra always got the best things. It seemed that King King Cobra just got Dr. Dre Beats and he wasn’t paying attention to anyone. The meeting was pointless so King Donkey left the two spoiled kings. Ninja rabbits from the zookeeper alliance surrounded King Crocs’ kingdom. King Donkey couldn’t just stand there and watch the two kings die so he called on his troops and marched on to King Crocs’ kingdom. King Donkey pushed against the troops of the zookeeper alliance and he got to the kings. Both of them were slouched at a corner with pacifiers in their mouths. King Donkey encouraged the kings to fight, he told them to imagine that the Ninja Rabbits were zombies in Call of Duty and knowing that the two kings were good at Call of Duty, it seemed to do the trick. After a long hard battle, the three kings and their army came to a victory. On the battlefield the three kings fought well. The zookeeper alliance aren’t finished yet, they plot their next battle plan after the release of Battlefield Bad Company 3, so they can get ideas."

On Vacation

  It has been pretty long since I've updated this blog but that is since i'm on summer vacation. The first two months of my vacation was pretty wasted, I was at home and was studying for my violin exam. It's good that i passed it, another step to success. Now i'm at Malaysia, my home country, everything's great in a way, like I get to play with fireworks and see my relatives. I got a good break from electronics and most especially internet. For the past time, i've been using my cousins laptop or visiting internet cafes. Well that's pretty much it, i'm having plenty of fun, fasting along with others for Ramadan and celebration is coming for Eid. Once i'm back in Dubai, i'll be updating, continuing on the book 'Nudge.'

Ion Magnet Wristbands

   Magnetic accessories are thought to have special properties to help bring an active lifestyle or cool down head-aches. An ion wristband is commonly seen on professional sports athletes, especially golfers. What do these wristbands do or give? There are supposed to be magnets on the wristband which stabilizes the amount of ion charge in your body. It is said that it helps stop head-aches and that it gives an edge in sports. I have a Trion:Z wristband and it's pretty nice. It is black and red with a magnet on the top and bottom of the wristband, opposite sides. I can't say for sure that this wristband improves performance but it sure is a comfortable thing to wear on your wrist. The special property is probably a lore but there is definitely something going on. I'm sure it does help sharpen your mind up and in turn that helps to improve performance. Just like how people say looking at an emerald heals your eyes, an ion wristband can bring an active lifestyle. There is a sense to both, our eyes naturally relax and stress less to the color green, this is a fact. An emerald is a beautiful green gemstone and that is probably why people say that. Ion wristbands have magnets which collaborate with each other and probably does something. Well, for a conclusion, ion wristbands probably do assist you in a healthy lifestyle and it also looks very nice and sporty!

Mac OS X Lion Review

  The company, 'Apple' recently released their new operating system, 'Mac OS X Lion.' It is available for purchase on the Application Store on all Mac computers for $29.99. It can also be bought at the Apple store or retailers for $49.99 which includes a USB. Lion is an upgrade to the previous OS, Snow Leopard. Upgrading would result in the new 10.7 update. What features do you get from this? Well, you receive three new things on your dock, Launchpad, Mission Control, and Facetime. This update involves many changes in design, in fact, it was inspired by Ipad/Iphone/Itouch. Launchpad gives you the springboard look of the Ipad, Mission Control shows you all the applications that are on, in an all in one look. Facetime is exactly the same thing as the facetime in the Ipad 2, Iphone, and Ipod Touch 4, it is a video calling application. Along with that, speeds are slightly faster as it neatly cleans your Mac. The touch gestures for your trackpad are revamped and new. It takes time to get used to the new movements but it seems better in a way. One thing that I appreciate is the new full screen features in selected programs. Your photo-booth is totally fullscreen and same goes with you Safari browser! There is also a new feature called 'AirDrop' which allows Lion to Lion  Macs to share files instantly and easy. You can see my video that I made whilst downloading OS X Lion, a day after the release, it shows the important features and is best of all, a commentary!

Final Showdown

  Early morning on Friday 22nd of July, 2011, my mother brought me to her class at American University of Sharjah. She is a professor there in MIS but she wanted to show me a footwear company project that her masters students in the school of engineering were working on. There were three teams and they presented information on their product and why customers and investors should choose them. My mom invited two guest judges from the MBA program to help make the final decision on who was the best. I was just there to witness this event and to see how things run in a college. The first team was very professional and handed out folders and water bottles with their logo on it,' Pulse.' They designed a shoe with a specialty called 'Zigtech' which brought balance to every step you take and rippled around your whole foot. The team brought a great mixture of explanation and presentation. The slide shows were interesting and gave a promotion to exercising as the shoe was specified for running, in what I saw. The second team was called 'Jowati' and this was my favorite team, mainly because they were interesting to watch. They put humor along with information on their product. The group, mainly consisting of Emarati locals, associated the royal families in assisting their product mainly with funds. This in turn could help them in the future to market their product internationally. At the end of their presentation, they handed out delicious cupcakes imprinted with Jowati shoes, they also gave keychains, pens, notepads, and personally to my mother and I, a Jowati T-Shirt for my baby sister and me. This team had something different from the other teams, they uploaded a video on Youtube, this is a rather excellent choice to promote a product. They received lots of feedback on their product along with their saying 'Share your dreams with us.' In all, I favored that team the most. The last team which is team three, was a very informative team. They did lots of explaining and were really deep with their product. Their idea seemed wonderful but there was a lack of presentation. Even so, they also did something different, they had an activity. In the middle of the presentation, they distributed hand-outs to everyone with two groups to keep in mind, buyers and investors. The buyers were told on the benefits and features of the shoe whilst the investors were told why you should spend on them. This group was formal, in fact, they even served food in a 'lunch break.' All of the teams were excellent in my opinion and i really enjoyed visiting the university, I learned a lot. Everyone did amazing though some could improve, of course, but it was a hard decision to select the winner of the 'Showdown.' Anyways, the teams put lots of effort and you can even see it for yourself if you were there, congratulations to all!
