solution
I have found a way to put te logos in there desired place. What I have done is took the disered logo of the internet put it in a paint document then organize them as planed. So hopefully that will be suficiant. So far im just planing seeing potential customers and taking their logo and putting them were I think fits best for looks. So far I have about six or seven logos that've just taken of the internet. I dont think its illegal to do I'm not going to take the images and out them forth as my own but if anyone does haveing anything to say please leave a comment saying what you think okay. Well stay tuned and I'll update this hopefully daily. Oh and if anyone has something to say about the Macbook pros tell me befor I get abligated to get that and only that product not something else. So thanks stay tuned.
New macbook pro
Well I've been thinking and its time I become a true apple person. By getting a macbook pro 15 in the 2.4Ghz. But it's not going to be easy. I know by myself I cant afford one and nor will I ever get one for any holiday from any of my relatives. So I got a plan from a lady by the name of Leah Culver. She also wanted a macbook pro but couldn't afford due to student loans and so on. So she post something on her blog saying she wanted a new macbook pro. But couldn't afford it so she was selling the real estate on the front or top of her future laptop. So people responded and she ended up getting the money to buy the laptop. From the logos companies bought space for. So she works at a place called Squid Labs. There they have a laser engraver. So she got it engraved and everyone was happy. Well I hope I can do something like what she did but I'm short a laser engraver a way to design the logos to put on the laptop and support.
But I have a plan. What I'm going to do is ask my aunt for some help. She's an accountant. She's usually very go with money and confronting companies and getting stuff done. So hopefully she can help me out. Since I live right next to a small but very busy shopping center so maybe i can ask a couple of the stores there for there support. After I get enough or some buyers I'll ask squid labs if I could use there engraver. Or maybe I should do this befor I even try anything.
But if I actually got the buyers and got enough to buy the macbook pro I would use it for school personal stuff. I would also take it every I go. I would take it to the local library, cousins house, Probably coputer class and many other places. But this laptop would be my laptop for the next 20 years. I would use this in collage and if I go to a forieng country you can bet that I'm going to bring it. Basicly this laptop will be my life and a new start to a very apple computer life.
Well I'll keep you guys posted and if you want to contact me just leave a comment with your email address and I'll email you. So ya keep reading its good for your eyes.

Good news
For all those people out there that have a Nintendo DS there is a really bright light at the end of the tunnel. You all know how you've felt ripped off when you learned that all you can use the built in WI-fi for is playing games. Well That's what I'm here to tell you there is a Nintendo DS web browser. The minute I saw this I was hysterical and it thought finally something that made me say what a good decision by Nintendo. I cant wait, you can currently pre-order one on amazon.com for 29.99$. I think its so worth it.
Okay, so far all I know is that it comes with a DS cartridge and a GBA memory extension cartridge. This is to make Internet pages load faster. The there are many views and options which you can go to Opera.com. Go to the bottom of the page and there it will talk about the browser for the DS. I don't know if its for the older version of the DS, maybe just the newer version, the DS lite. But yes that is my story and If you want to know more just Google it. Well that's all I can say on this issue. Have fun with your new knowledge.

A new start
Well I have been instructed to make a podcast by my teacher which sound fun. Because of the fact that we can do it about anything we want so I'm doint mine about realy neat tech stuff like to new types of Tv's well here read for yourself ,
Future tech:
Topic: Intro
“Welcome to Future tech. This is a podcast where I’m going to talk about where I think technology is going. And I’m not just going to make up stuff. I’m going to talk about the newest innovations. Like the new type of TV’s coming out by Sony the OLED. What that means I have no idea. But I will find out.
Topic: TV
First topic of today is TV’s. One in particular, a couple months ago Sony released its plans for the OLED TVs. The facts about this type Of TV are:
OLED: stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode
The contrast is 1,000,000:1. This is CRAZY! The new TV proposed by Pioneer is only 20,000:1. So that shows you how clear this TV would be.
The thickness of the screen part is only, 3 millimeters think. Which is about the thickness of a pencil, but it has a base type thing, which is the bulk of the monitor and I think I does not look that nice I think it kind of looks like a screen that pooping out at you. But that’s what I think.
It also supports full 1080p and all other types of numbers like 720p and i 480p and i stuff like that Oh and 1080i too,
But here is a down side though Sony isn’t selling its large sized monitors this year, it is however pushing for the smaller size screens to be in MP3 players. Theirs one in particular that I would like to see these screens in, the Ipod. I think personally this is the perfect chance for Apple to get back in the race with a wide screen video player, But we can only hope,
Topic: Hand held PC
Okay we’re going to make a U-turn here and start talking about hand held computers. Well hand held computer have been struggling to take off, the reason for this not enough power. And when I say power I mean speed, speed in processor speed and how much ram you can cram into these things. Well this I think is no longer the question “can we give this thing enough processing speed so it could do basic things.” No longer a problem because of how advanced technology is getting. The speed of this thing is just as fast as my desktop that I bought six month ago. And even faster in some cases.
A good example is the new Samsung Q1 Ultra. This is a powerful hand held computer.
It has:
A seven-inch touch screen, LCD backlit
1GB of ram, which is great,
60GB hard-drive not bad,
And 800mhz, which is okay for a hand held.
It runs Windows Vista (which I haven’t tried it out yet but I heard that it’s not that great,
But that only bad part is the screen resolution, which is 1024x600, not that great, but its okay, keep in mind this is all in a mobile computer.
This model is to be on the shelves by May 7 2007. For a starting price of 799$
It looks okay, it looks almost like a stretched PSP and instead of the game controls it has cell-phone sized keyboard split in half, half on one side of the screen half on the other. And like two zune circular buttons, with the OK in the middle and a big circular button around it. It has a bunch more little buttons and such, which I’m not going to go over all of them.
There are also other mobile devices, these are all great and such but the only time I could ever find use for these things are on long train rides or long trips. Which I don’t go on much. So for me this is not such a good item but for business people who travel a lot this is perfect. Oh and just some out of the blue news Intel was trying to get into the UMPC market last year what happened I don’t think anybody knows. I think now that technology has advanced enough to where you can have your computer in you lap that soon it will be just as popular to have it in your hands. Well that all the time I have today and I haven’t found anything else to talk about, So this is Joe on Future Tech saying see you later.

The end Is near. #7
For all you Harry Potter fans out there just dieing to read those last pages of the last book are going to have to wait until July 21st 2007. IT has finaly arrived. IT being Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows #7. This will be the last installment in the Harry Potter series. Soon the world will know what happens to Harry and his friends. If you really want to get this book then you should first try Borders once it comes out becuase it seems that Borders is the sponser of the Leaky Cauldron web site. Which in turn leads to Borders getting more copies so the Leaky Caulron can keep their sponser. But thats my opinion.

Family?
Family? What is family, many people ask this question in search of true family. Some people think family is DNA (my mom, uncle, and so on). Other think its anyone you can relate to. The club you belong to at school or the people you hang out with at lunch or maybe its the lady that cuts your hair. I think family is anyone that you can relate to on a personal level. Like the club you hang with the country club whatever. My family consist of my relatives, friends and lots of other people that are important to me. My family is made up of many different types of people, from everywhere on earth. "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities", A great quote which many people take in different ways some may think it means, families are random, or some people say its who ever you chose to be in your family.

A new command Promt
1001010111011 Binary code. The way computers talk to the parts of themselves. Its been the only way computer talk in a sense to the other parts of them since the invention of them. But there's a new way for computers to "talk" to themselves. Its called fuzzy logic. Its where instead of the current 1 or 0, black and white, its more of a grayness not just one or the other but a little of both. Sounds interesting but to me it sounds just like concept cars they never come out.

Family?
Many people are just this is my family and that's that. Well believe it or not you don't have to be related to be family. You could be good friends. It could be a roommate that you can relate to. It could be many other thing. But its not what you think family is its who you look at. My family is who is share with DNA. Other people might think of it as people in my same religion.
I think family can be anyone that cares for you and respect you. The way I look at family is my family can be as big as the school attendance list. My family right now isnt just my mom cousins or grandparents its who i spend my time with everyday. It could be my friends it could be my teachers, it could be my hair cut lady.
When you go home look at the poeple you spend your time with. Then when you go to school work or to get your hair cut think who's in your family?

Experience
My experience from this project was one of new understanding. I learned that organization is key and if something goes wrong you cant count on people. And anything can change at any moment. I also learned to make sure that the topic or subject that I'm researching is one that I want to do and one that is not that difficult. Well now that I've learned this my responsibility from know on is to pick a topic and stick to it.
This experience was a good one and one that I would not mind doing again. It taught me lots of things and valuable experience.

Finale Big Step
This will be the last blog out of my blogs for my project. My project is almost done and is shaping up nice. My research and now almost completed survey work all now have to be put into a power point. My results are very surprising. The things that I learned were very enlightening. I learned that the first computer was the size of a small room and the memory was a 32 foot long vacum tube. The first computers were huge. Then after those comptuers were the ones with what looked like huge casette reels in them which were even bigger. I have relized that computers have come so far.

Research #3
Last week during The spring break I watched a movie. This movie is called The Pirates Of Silicon Valley. This movie shows how Apple and Microsoft were formed and how they got their start. It was very surprising. I found out how the desktop we come to know was formed and how Xerox passed up the chance of a life time and how apple took that chance and succeeded. It also shows the life's of bill gates Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak . It showed the struggle of starting these now great companies and there reason behind what they did in the early 1970's-80's. I greatly recommend this movie to any one how likes the history of computers. This movie taught me greatly that if you are passionate about something you have to work hard to make it work but hard work will be rewarded.

It's getting there. The treatment
My project is coming along fine and it growing up pretty fast one big step at a time. I have research where computers started and what were the big steps forward and what companies took this new type of computer the PC and ran with it. The results are surprising. I have learned more from this project then I could have learned about if a teacher told me study some subject. The treatment is done and I am now thinking about the survey and what should I ask and what type of questions I should use. Well I have to get back to making my survey.
Monday, March 26, 2007
The second step (The trestment)
Now that I ahve got a subject and learned some what about it I will write upa treatment, Which will show what type of project this will be and what it will have and what will be in it and what stpes I'm taking to make sure my rpoject is coming along fine. My project will be in power point form it will have photos and music and graphics and results from my surveys.
First of many (The history of computers.)
This is going to be my first post of many because of my new project that involves posting these as part of my experience of doing this self directed project. My project is going to be about the history of computers. Where they came from who made them better and who invented the computer.
