Steven's Blog

Okay guys, Im going to start blogging again pretty soon. My next new post will be of the SHINY WARZ LARP last Saturday (yesterday) once I get pictures I’ll start back up. =]

Well, it seems like bad things come at me all at once. A lot of bad things have happened in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Thats why I haven’t been blogging. I will spare you guys the details, but I’m better now.

The depression and the pain has subdued and I realize i just have to suck it up and go with it. I can’t do anything to fix any of the problems. I actually solved one of them, haha, it was kind of funny actually. But I guess you learn from problems and life goes on, no matter how much you want to go back in time and fix it.

School is doing well, life is okay now and my friends are extremely amazing! I have been going to YoungLife lately, it has helped me get through all of these problem, by being with a community who cherishes who I am for what I am and having fun. I’m not exactly sure on my take for God. I am confused and to tell you the truth I dont know, but maybe he will help, if he is up there somewhere.

I thought maybe some of my friends, family and old co-workers from Yovia, may want to know how life is going right now, maybe I will put up some more posts. Life is busy right now and it seems like all of my free time is left for me to ponder, dream, remember and hope. I miss you guys at Yovia, if I get the time, I may go visit you guys later on, maybe I’ll go with Daniel some day and get picked up. Who knows, life is confusing right now, so don’t expect it soon.

So to be a member of Technorati I have to post a code on my blog so…. this is that post. If you want to join it, visit their site: Technorati

In light of the recent news of the new Google Chrome OS, Microsoft gave us the nice news about releasing a Microsft Office 2010. Guess how much it will cost? Free. With the Chrome OS being free and the “Threat of the Cloud” being on the way, they had to release something for free. Hopefully they will release a basic OS like a cheap XP for free. That would be awesome. but I will definitely we going for Chrome. Office 2010 comes with Word, Powerpoint, Excel and OneNote; sounds goood to me!

The company I work for, Yovia, gives us tips on new apps and cool things that have released on the web. The most recent tip was CHI.MP. CHI.MP stands for Content Hub & Identity Management Platform. CHI.MP is an OpenID, where you store all of your social media information and contacts. Pretty much your own website where you can do all of you social networking through. Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Youtube, Friendster, Photobucket, Yahoo, GMail, etc. You can use them all through here. CHI.MP also gives you a personal website where people can see all of your account usernames and updates and other stuff. But they do that with your permission of course, the option to show all of that is optional.

Google is growing exponentially, with nothing holding it back. The company that started out as a Search Engine is now an enormous company that is on the verge of taking Apple’s place as Microsoft’s largest rival. With all of the Applications, Cloud Apps, and Programs they have been making to make our lives easier, not to mention their awesome Chrome Web Browser (Which I am using right now). Their recent announcement about releasing an OS called Chrome OS will take them to the top. Google doesn’t look for the most sales or the most users, they want to make the life of the consumer much easier. Cloud Apps and a nice clean OS will sure do that. At least for me it will, Haha! Microsoft knows that they have a nice new big rival to go against. As everyone probably knows, competition creates a drop in prices. This means that you may want to wait to upgrade your PC for a bit. Microsoft will surely drop the prices for their OS and laptop prices will plummet. This is mostly dues to the Chrome OS being free and a great OS for Netbooks, since it requires almost no Hard Drive space because its almost all Clouded. Apple’s Macintosh, commonly known as Mac, may fall behind on this deal if they don’t compete with them. A brand new Amazing new Mac OS is what they need to come into play.

Keep an eye out in the next 6 months or so for a dramatic price drop in Personal Computers. I will sure keep you update whenever I see any news in the web.

I love to drink water; I usually drink Sweet Tea or an occasional Coca Cola for dinner, but I drink water throughout the day. I have one water bottle that I just refill with water. We have Reverse Osmosis Pumps at my house, so my water is fresh and clean. But a lot of people that I know, including my girlfriend, Ashleigh, buys big cartons of water bottles and uses those. I have been hearing a lot about the risk of water bottles. They may cause cancer and some other things. I will give you guys some links to more info. I just want to put out my opinion to you guys, as my readers I naturally need you alive to read my blog. Haha Just joking. I want you all to be healthy, of course. Just be cautious with water bottles, especially you Ashleigh, if you read this! =]

OH  MY GOD!!!! If you know me well, then you know that I am a Google Fan Boy! I love Google and all of its products. Google just announced the Google Chrome OS. I am so excited! I have to get it. As of right now the first version will be targeting netbooks. Google will then target lkaptops and desktops with a later version. It will involve a lot of cloud computing, which is awesome, and will work really well with the Chrome Web Browser, which I use anyways. There’s no real date set to the release. Netbooks are thought to be up and running with it by the end of the year, in the fall. Laptops and Desktop should be out by next year. I am so excited!!!!!
