Snowsports!

I cannot wait until skiing season!! Or maybe I can...nope...I think it's "maybe I'll HAVE to"...bleh.
This year will be FUN. I recently bought a helmet so I don't have to rent one that's way too large or too small...or one that costs WAY TOO MUCH.
So yeah...I'm also quite a bit stronger and more daring now that I have a 'real' job(heh). This means more jumps, possibly a first concussion, definitely more fun AND I'll look totally cool. And awesome. Here is why.

Anyways...it'll be fun. And I have to go...do...dishes...ugh. Later!

Geekery!

*excited babbling followed by some possible drool and giggling*

Yeah...so I'm an 18 year old male and I can STILL do that. Especially when I have the titles of geek, nerd etc.

Why? BECAUSE. I am now the owner of the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Android Tablet!  If that means nothing to you, that's ok. Not everyone is insane like me.
Basically it means I just now ordered the brand new ASUS brand Android Tablet on Amazon. It makes me so happy. And fuzzy inside. Or maybe not. That might be weird.

I believe I have talked about this before, but hey! Geekery!

Weeell....ok fine, I'll save you guys from suffering. I'll wait until it's in my hands and then possibly make a video of me dying when I open the box. Or just babbling, drooling and giggling. I could do that too.

Ok, thats my time!

Goodnight!

Android fun!

Hello again!
I am here today to talk about the Android OS, devices that run said operating system and maybe a few other things.

Can you believe they released Android 4.1 already?? It's typically named after a candy or sugar food: Jellybean.
I find it quite ridiculous that they would release this OS when the last one(Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich) isn't even installed on 40% of capable devices...but that is the way of this world apparently.
It is quite new...so that might explain the inconsistencies in the stability and capability within different devices. A few posts ago, I touched on the subject of Android being so sporadic with it's reliability in different devices, and I must say, they are changing their game quite a bit. While there are still all over the place, it's not anywhere near as bad, PLUS the devices are becoming quite amazing. Good specs, reliable equipment, nice looking hardware, etc.
A few examples of this game change are the new Nexus Series by Google, Samsung and ASUS. The Nexus 7 is the new Google tablet. Affordable, looks nice, good specs. The Galaxy Nexus is the new tablet manufactured and branded by ASUS, my favorite brand in this market. Researching that would do you good. ;)
Aside from those, we have the Samsung Galaxy S III, the HTC One series(One X, One S, One V) and the countless new LG phones, plus ALL those new Droid phones by Motorola.
In the tablet world, we have the good ol' ASUS bringing us the new TF300 and the TF300G transformers plus the Transformer Infinity.

Most all of these devices are the top end smartphones/tablets on the market and they are starting to make a real impact in the general market of electronics and personal devices.

So I will end here, with a picture showing some of the devices discussed today.
I apologize for the scattered manner in which I presented this information, I am a little tired and it's kinda hot if you hadn't noticed...

Windows 8, ASUS and Android shtuff.

These days there are SO MANY different companies making electronic devices such as phones, tablet, 'phablets' smart watches, etc.

I am here today to talk about some specifics: Android 5, Windows 8 and of course the one to get both of those OS's first....ASUS.

I mainly wanted to discuss some of the controversy and lack of ethics on the corporations end.

Figure#1:
Android is fast growing. So fast, that most device manufacturers can't keep up with the changes in software or they just can't manage to run the OS properly on whatever CPU the device has. It's a total mess. If the corporations would work together to make all of the devices compatible or equally able to run AndroidOS, things would be amazing. My 'outdated' smartphone would then be able to run Android 4.0. But NO, they insist on being difficult....
And then there is this whole Android 5 thing! AOS 4.0 isn't even on 15% of 'droid devices yet!! I disapprove personally. I think they need to stabilize the current versions with the current devices and THEN release the new OS. 

Figure#2:
Windows...ah Windows. We all love you except those who don't.
I have always been Windows fan, and not just because it's what I was raised on. It's simply my style. Mostly. If I was able, I would change some of the interface options and ability, but that's only because I am a huge sci-fi tech geek.
The new Windows OS: Windows 8 has received many responses. Some good, some not so good.
Most of the good responses were just people getting excited about something new and mobile. Same ol' same ol'. The bad responses(totally valid too) were mostly people complaining that it will take away from the Windows feel, that if they are going to make a mobile OS, keep it separate like they did with WP7.

My personal response to this issue: I agree with both sides. That's pretty much all I can say.

Thoughts? Did I get my facts wrong? Mess something up? Make a typo(God forbid...)?
Anyways, just let me know what you think on these topics.

Asus Eee Pad Tablet...and Shtuff!

Hello all, I am back!

I wanted to talk about a piece of technology in a category that I find fascinating: TABLETS!! Ok so the actual tablet is the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet. Long name, best in the lineup.
The AEPTP runs the 4th version of the Android OS; Ice Cream Sandwich, or ICS. It also rocks an Nvidia Tegra 3 1.3 Ghz Quad Core processor, which considering it's a tablet, is pretty nice! It's only 0.2 Ghz below my LAPTOP processor, although my CPU is made by AMD and not Nvidia.
For excellent viewing capability, it has a 10.1 inch screen, I have no idea what type though so don't ask me. Go look it up. Please. Aaand it has a 8mp rear facing camera with a 1.3-2mp front facing cam. Not bad. ALSO you can choose between the 16GB model or the 32GB model, both running with 1GB of RAM.
And with all that geek nerd talk aside, let's go into WHY I would spend my money on such a device. And why not. First of all it looks nice...what with it's optional docking keyboard....which will cost you an extra $100 to $140....no thanks. I've got a laptop.

First of all, this AEPTP is supposedly the top ranking Android tablet on the market, and from I've seen, I'm not about to doubt it, UNTIL companies start releasing new devices of their own. I heard that Asus is releasing new models of this already, so I don't know if I should wait....

Ok no, I'm not waiting, unless not buying it until June counts...by then the new models will probably be on the market...

Sidetracked...let's move on to why NOT?

Apparently the Texas Instruments OMAP 5 Processor blew the Nvidia Tegra 3 out. Of. The.Water with a webpage rendering test. But who knows, the variables could have been inconsistent.

So all in all with my sketchy review, I would say YES I am going to buy it. Because I had hands on experience which I failed to mention. Oops.
The main reason my review is sketchy is because I want you to research it from more reliable sources. Mine might be biased. Slightly.

Anyway, have a greeeaat day you all!!!

~Wilson1. 

All this...STUFF.

Agh ok, so another post about what I could change or do better on....meh.

Alright, let's get started: Again, "You may notice" that I don't post about a lot of the current news. In fact, if I post about any news at all, it's old!! Why?
I mean, just about every other big big blogger has something going, whether it's a book promo, some ad, or maybe they are more the type of person to talk about what has happened on the news.
So again, why?
Hmm, well I think it's mostly because I hadn't learned to do that kind of thing. I think now, I would probably be better at it, and I am going to start experimenting with video AND regular old Blog format.
So we'll see, it may turn out good, it may turn out horrible. But at least I'll learn something!! And so will you all.

I still can't believe that I failed at writing more posts lately. I guess I had no inspiration to talk about anything, and that's not good! So following this sentence, I shall tell you my plans of what is to come!

I am going to go into every one of my unfinished writing projects, and FINISH them. Ok...so this doesn't quite include my books...that would take a very long time. I'll just finish my short stories and my other miscellaneous projects.

And being me, I ended up saving this post and not writing anything on it for a while.
So I typically lost my train of thought and I must conclude this 'article'.

Farewell!

What's to come, what to expect.

Hello all of you screaming fans, I am here LIVE, to tell you something that you need to know about my blog.
First off, you may have noticed that my blog posts are not typical. Meaning I don't use the whole custom template option nor do I use very many photos. It's more of an informational blog than anything, which could be good or bad.
I don't have an audio thing going on, which is just fine for now, although I might start recording stuff in the near future if life conditions permit.
I don't usually post videos. Hmm ok, so that can change. Whether it's of me, about me, or just me shooting film of something cool, like say...*cough*.... me talking about a particular subject, it will most likely be about me. Ok, I lie too big, it won't be about me.
IF I do end up recording podcasts/vlogs, it will be about the things I enjoy, such as Star Wars, Doctor Who, good ol' fashioned LEGO building, music, geology, and books I have read recently and really liked. Or ones that I hated. Oh and why not add the in between.

The changes I plan to make will be these.

#1: Add more photos. Whether they are serious and truly apply to my blog post subject matter will depend entirely on my mood.

#2: Add some videos. These will most likely be shot by me to avoid copyright infringement and because original content is so GOOD. Mostly...
I can’t say when I will be adding videos, because right now the only cameras I have available are my 5mp Cam on my HTC Merge(cell phone) and my even less MP webcam on my laptop....also, I have no idea what format the videos will be in. Vlog? Production? Podcast type? Who knows, I’ll think about it, maybe record some webcam fun to test my skillz. But it’s safe to say within the next 5 months.

#3: Add links, references, possibly add my music that I have been working on. I wonder if I can link SoundCloud....

#4: More monkeys. I don’t know why, but I seem to keep coming back to monkeys! Remember a few days ago I posted this long excerpt from Wikipedia on monkeys? Well...maybe not since it was all in Welsh...but I remember it! Someone’s got to....anyway, point is...MORE MONKEYS.

#5: More stuff to add to my To Add To list. Figure THAT one out! If you can, I will probably pay you for it, because I certainly can’t.

#6: I think I’m done now.
