Evillll!!! (Que dramatic music)
Evil is a very creepy and dark word. But how does one define evil? Is giving a 60 problem math assignment on the Friday before homecoming weekend evil? Is someone who never eats the end pieces of bread and leaves them for you evil? Is the guy at parties who always takes all the M&Ms out of the trail mix evil? In our society evil is a common word, however there are things in reality that are evil, terrorists, murderers, dictators. How we define evil soley depends on our moral views. 1930s Germany, Hitler thought he was doing the world good, we viewed it as evil, his staff and him would have disagreed. Someone who hunts animals like deer and birds may be seen as evil by animal rights activists, however by fellow hunters he is seen as a good person for keeping the population at a Good level. Evil cannot be defined by one person, it all depends on the psycologoical and moral stand points of each individual person. We as humans hold our race to certain standards, and those who break or separate from them are often viewed as radicals or evil people (In most cases they are) like Ghaddafi or Mubarak or Kim Jong Ill. Evil is what we view as morally wrong, and those who we think are out of line we view as evil, weather it is Hitler or that guy taking the M&Ms out of the trail mix

Scarlet Sadness and Structure
This book is shaped by symbolic events and set up by dates. Sentences like "When he was born" and "Doodles 6th birthday" or "Summer of 1918". The events in this book are almost cinematic or soap opera like. There's a sense of tradedgy at the beginning, then triumph as he walks, and then the sad ending made the story come full circle. The entire story sets itself up for a very symbolic ending, with the bird then doodle dying. The story really makes you feel this sense of morality, almost like making you feel like you should have done something.

iPod difficulties
Yesterday a weird thing happened. For the first time in months I had to reformat my iPod because apparently on the haze of my sleep I changed my passcode and forgot it... Silly me.
Anyway after reformatting and backing up files I began the sync process. I unfortunately was in a hurry and mid sync pulled out my iPod.
For 3 hours when I tried to open my music library on my iPod it just said "Canceling sync..."
Even after rebooting it several times. Then out of no where in the middle of the night I began to hear the solo to "Fade to black" coming from seemingly no where. My iPod had fixed itself, at 1 am, with speakers on... I never really was an Apple kind of guy, more of a Microsoft guy. Apple has always been better gadget and innovation wise. But this got me to think... What kind of person are you... Apple or microsoft, Mac or PC, iPod or zune. Both have their faults, but which do you prefer? I'm torn personally.

Dynamo
After using Dynamo it became clear that I knew words I didn't even know I knew...? Anyway I figured out that my vocabulary level is much higher than I previously had thought. Anyway I started toying around with it and it did show me that I knew more than I had thought.
Is this the worlds most perfect blog?

Technology in Journalism
After reading the article "A Real Human Wrote This Column" it has proved once again that if technology keeps advancing like this, then the sky is the limit. A computer using a coded program to write an article that a journalist who needs 2+ years of college education, it's both impressive and intriguing. Perhaps we need to look at this from the future, when it may be possible for it to write entire news papers on it's own... Even the funnies. We just have to wait and see.

Minecraft 1.8!!!
Notch allowed a leak of 1.8 today... testing it as we speak! Excited!!
Edit: I've continued to play and have found that it has gotten harder and harder to stop exploring. I got to the top of the mountain and found one of these tall dark and gruesome fellows lurking.
Here He Is.

Late Again...
For the second day in a row I was late for English. Yesterday I had to help (H) with a turtle... Evidently I was late. Today there was an assembly in the lecture hall for all of resource, I was not happy finding this out. The iPads have been getting better each day, they stopped being slow and blogger now works without problems.
Im finding blogging on iPads better than journaling on paper.

Blogging about blogging
After being late to class today because I had to help (H) with a turtle I came into class and found out we had to blogg about blogging.
Well here's what I think: Blogging is much better than paper and pencil writing. Bloggig is like writing a journal without having a journal. You speak what's on your mind and get your voice heard.
Blogging Is also a great way for people to get to know you better. The more you blog the more people are able to learn more about you and understand your personality.
