secured by touch?

According to this, our wallets and credit cards will be more secure.

in a mood?

Someone made mood flowers out of FED lights. It is supposed to detect the voice patterns and establish a mood light in nthe flowers. Maybe this is a great toy for the Deaf, so we can test the hearies' voices, whether if we are pissing them off or not! ;) Check it out @ Pink Tentacle!

are video clips accessible?

"Expressing my concerns about having the option to view internet video clips with subtitles. Deaf people are at a loss when they view these clips without subtitles."

I am glad Jared took the time to make this excellent video clip to prove a point. It would be great if all media on the internet is 100% accessible to the Deaf users. It would also benefit the Deaf people in other countries where captioning or subtitling isn't prevalent.

Thanks, Jared!

I have been thinking about joining a class for this kind of workout.

a tattoo concept?



Neal found this tattoo and though it fits me the best, with fire poi I play with and my favorite color blue. I'll consider it, but I do want one of a kind!

a reconsideration.

After looking at the pages at Red Alt, maybe I should reconsider using WordPress instead of Blogger? I dunno. I like Blogger for the archiving.

new chat.

Go check meebo.com. I can use Gtalk (same chat as in Gmail), AIM, YahooIM and MSN Messenger. If you sign up for an account on Meebo, you can log in once and automatically logs you in 4 different IM services! And, best of all, you don't need to download anything! If your school blocks chat sites, you can try some proxy sites and get around it.

Meebo is cool!

a new book.

Okay. I found out more details about Terry Brooks' new book, "Armageddon's Children," from Borders.

From the Border's Title Detail page:
Title: Armageddon's Children

Bibliographic Data: Hardcover, 384 Pages, Ballantine Books, August 2006

Author: Brooks, Terry

List Price: $26.95
In-store prices may vary. See your local store for the most up-to-date pricing.

Status: Not Yet Published

About the Author: A writer since high school, Terry Brooks published his first novel, The Sword of Shannara, in 1977. It was a New York Times bestseller for more than five months. He has published seventeen consecutive bestsellers since, including The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch and the novel based upon the screenplay and story by George Lucas: Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. His novels Running With the Demon and A Knight of the Word were each selected by The Rocky Mountain News as one of the best science fiction/fantasy novels of the twentieth century. The author was a practicing attorney for many years but now writes full-time. He lives with his wife, Judine, in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii.

Description: Terry Brooks is one of a handful of writers whose work defines modern fantasy fiction. His twenty-three international bestsellers have ranged from the beloved Shannara series to stories that tread a much darker path. Armageddon's Children is a new creation -- the perfect opportunity for readers unfamiliar with Brooks's previous work to experience an author at the height of his considerable storytelling powers. It is a gripping chronicle of a once-familiar world now spun shockingly out of control, in which an extraordinary few struggle to salvage hope in the face of terrifying chaos.

Logan Tom is doomed to remember the past and determined to rescue the future. Far behind him lies a boyhood cut violently short by his family's slaughter, when the forces of madness and hate swept our world after decadent excesses led to civilization's downfall. Somewhere ahead of him rests the only chance to beat back the minions of evil that are systematically killing and enslaving the last remnants of humanity. Navigating the scarred and poisoned landscape that once was America and guided by a powerful talisman, Logan has sworn an oath to seek out a remarkable being born of magic, possessed of untold abilities, and destined to lead the final fight against darkness.

Across the country, Angel Perez, herself a survivor of the malevolent, death-dealing forces combing the land, has also been chosen for an uncanny mission in the name of her ruined world's salvation. From the devastated streets of Los Angeles, she will journey to find a place -- and a people -- shrouded in mystery, celebrated in legend, and vital to the cause of humankind . . . even as a relentless foe follows close behind, bent on her extermination. While in the nearly forsaken city of Seattle, a makeshift family of refugees has carved out a tenuous existence among the street gangs, mutants, and marauders fighting to stay alive against mounting odds -- and something unspeakable that has come from the shadows in search of prey.

In time, all their paths will cross. Their common purpose will draw them together. Their courage and convictions will be tested and their fates will be decided, as their singular crusade begins: to take back, or lose forever, the only world they have.

In Armageddon's Children, Brooks brings his gifts as a mythmaker to the timeless theme of the unending, essential conflict between darkness and light -- and carries his unique imaginative vision to a stunning new level. Prepare for a breathtaking tour de force. To those who are new to Terry Brooks, welcome. And to those who have read him for many years: prepare for a dramatic surprise.


Now, the problem is deciding where to buy the book from: Borders or Barnes & Noble. I have membership rewards from Borders, but Barnes & Noble have a cheaper pre-order deal. What to do?? What to do?? :)
