Oh $h!7..The Deception of a Lifetime?

The Obama Deception, a documentary released in 2009 by Alex Jones, a radio host and video producer, completely 'changed my mind about change.' Obama, 'born on krypton and sent here to save us' is really one of the biggest planned deceptions ever. the documentary running 2 hours in length is available on gooogle videos, piece by piece on youtube (assuming copyrights have not yet been claimed) and available for purchase on dvd at http://www.obamadeception.net/. It is an intense film about how we have all been deceived and lied to by our government, and now we're about to see the worst of it.

Graf these days...




Although it's pretty obvious that this picture is photoshopped, it's also pretty obvious that our society is becoming more open to this hip hop culture art style. Graffiti artists are now instead of having to worry about being stealthy and fast, are getting paid to paint graffiti style murals in some cities. It is now recognized as an art form instead of a vandalism (at least good art work). I really appreciate this art, it takes a lot of talent.

Graffiti styles vary greatly, from colorful and well designed words:






































To detailed pictures with a variety of design elements:



The artform is taking off, and will hopefully soon be a fully accepted part of American culture.

Pandorajam

Pandora radio brings hundreds of new artists to my computer every week, I just wish there was a way to get all the music into my itunes. Well thanks to modern technology now there is. Pandorajam, an application available for download or purchase at http://www.bitcartel.com/pandorajam/ recognizes Pandora as an application on the Mac OS X desktop, and has many amazing features including the option to get every song in your itunes library after listening. It's awesome.

Photo shop assignment

As some of you may know, Fanta was origanted in the 1940's by the Coca-Cola company in order to keep sales up in Nazi Germany...hence..

More on the History of Gaming

http://scarymonkey.net/Flash/newlinerider2.php

I'm sure plenty of you have played linerider at some point. The simple game came out years ago, originally featuring just a pencil function. Now straight, curved, and shaped lines are available, as well as the function to speed up, and add decorative line. There are many different versions of this game, including some where instead of a sled, the character is on a bicycle or driving a car. After seeing some of the history of video games, it was interesting to look at the history of a specific game. It is a very fun game to play, and is rather rewarding when you set up a cool track.

Two documentaries

Zeitgeist is a mind-blowing documentary presenting conspiracy theories and the extreme truth about the corruption of the government. The prime focus being that of the Christianity, and the 9/11 ‘terrorist attacks’. I realize that some of the facts given might be exaggerated or false, but when presented how they are it is very easy to believe that our government is extremely corrupt. The facts about 9/11 are flabbergasting. On that date NORAD was launching a drill for plain hi-jacking, so its intercepting planes were already in the air. NORAD in the past has had a 100% interception rate 74/74 attempts, and on that date, September 11, 2001 all 4 hi-jacked planes went down without threat of interception. The 2 planes that hit the towers hit pretty high in the building. Construction professionals say that unless taken out at the base the towards could withstand multiple blows from airplanes, yet both buildings collapsed after minutes in what demolition professionals recognize as a usual building demolition manner. Building 7, which collapsed in a demolition like manner as well, did not even get hit by a plane, it simply collapsed from the middle, just as in a demolition.
Just as well it not only questions Christianity, but calls Christians flat out stupid, plagiarizers. Much of the Christian religion is stolen from ancient Egyptian ideas found in hieroglyphics, and is made of up simple ideas from zodiac signs and the behavior of the sun. I could go on and on about the facts, but simply couldn’t get the full point across. I highly recommend this film, I am still in aw.


Zeitgeist 2: Addendum is the sequel to Zeitgeist, and focuses primarily on the central bank and the corporations, and their corrupt obsession with profit. Only 3 percent of American dollars actually physically exist. The rest is all embedded in the digital world. The central bank creates money and trades it to the government or loans it to banks at an interest. The government then uses the money or loans it to other countries as aid, and the small banks loan out that money to people, all at interest. All this interest adds up and literally creates money out of thin air. If every person and business paid off every loan, there would be more money then was ever created, which of course isn’t possible!
The film then goes on to talk about renewable energy sources that could easily power the earth without pollution, and ways of travel that are much more clean and efficient. ‘The Venus Project’ is a conceptual world that completely eliminates the monetary system, and uses clean and renewable energy for power and means of transportation. We have all the technology to build a society like this, we just need the money to do so…(as ironic as that sounds).
There are batteries that can power a car for normal highway speeds for many hours, but big corporations in the oil industry own the patents of these batteries, and won’t allow cars to be created with these batteries all so they keep getting profit from oil. This is selfish and mean simply for the reason of self profit of the corporations.
These 2 documentaries are obviously biased and could be exaggerated or false, but they definitely open your mind. I have watched them each multiple times now, and recommend them to any and every one.

David after the dentist..


I find it awesome that this little kid, who kinda freaked out after going to the dentist, became 'famous' in a matter of weeks because of youtube. The original video posted 3 weeks ago, and within a week there were knock offs, remixes, and my personal favorite, the David meets Charlie video mash. This video has become extremely popular, and could be a new meme in our culture. you never know whose gonna refer to it next..south park maybe?
