I play on a team in the apa league and they have tournaments set up for this weekend. so when we played tonight we played at the tournament tables. the room we were in had 50 tables from what I heard there was 3 rooms I know 2 me then had 50 tables so there is possibly 150 tables there. it was a good night, I won my match. not sure about the team as a whole cause I left early but so far our team is 2nd in 8ball and 4th in 9ball. tonight i played 9ball and my percentage was 75% chance to win. its going to go up. I'm not sure what my total stats are but I will post them some other time. oh and our team name is the table monkeys.

Rants and a happy ending

man i have really gotten away from writing in this... and yeah the whole cellphone thing has kinda lost my interest too... dont get me wrong its a great phone and it still kicks the iphoney's ass but i really have no interest in talking about it any more....

so lets get on with the rants

#1

i am a person of equal rights across the board rather it be race, religion, sex, or partners. i dont care who you are or the things you do, your still human and thats the way i see all people.

but something really bugs me and this is now the second time i have seen this.... black /africans /dark skin/what would start bitching about how they arent black people that they should be called african (i think african american is a stupid term)... well thats fine by me i dont care and i can understand why they would say that... so now all the time you will see forms, applications, or some sort of informational thing say "african american/black".... well once again thats fine with me i dont mind considering that asians are called asian and indians are indians/middle eastern....

but what pisses me off is 2 yes 2 government related forms of sorts had a list of all these races with their common term and their politically correct term. what? you dont see how thats a problem? neither do i till you get down to what i am which the politically correct term is caucasian, but no that wasnt there it just said "WHITE"... yeah thats right here take a look for yourself

click on it to see the full size

yeah that was the "official career site of the state of indiana" and even on the homepage it has a link to the governors page... i find that discriminating racist or what ever you feel like calling it. just because we dont bitch about it doesnt mean we wouldnt want to see our politically correct name on official government forms and what not

and now your saying "well thats not really a official government form" right? well no it might not be something straight from the government but it is indiana's page which is related to out government and they do back it up as if it was their own... but like i said it was there were 2 times i had seen this on government related forms... the first time i saw this was on a census... yeah you know that form you fill out so the government can get an idea of how many people live here and in what location and the average income blah blah blah.... well yeah that form also just said "white" when everything else had their politically correct terms...

this one has no significant value or something from the heart of what i think is right... this one is simply because im upset about it..

my tv shows keep getting canceled.... yeah i know stupid topic right? but its finally getting on my fucking nerves.... i dont watch much tv as it is but when there is a show i like i will watch it.... my problem is that the shows i do like and really get in to keep getting canceled....

so far the ones that have been canceled within the past few years are

1. sara connor chronicles (terminator tv show)
2. journey man
3. crusoe
4. my own worst enemy
5. and the show im currently in love with - defying gravity

those have all been within the past 2 maybe 3 years... so yeah show with actual imagination and adventure get canceled while the 15 or so shows about investigating murders are still on the air... its fucking stupid really... how many times can you watch shows trying to figure out why jane doe was killed in an abandoned warehouse?

defying gravity is going to finish out the season says ABC but from what i have heard so far canada and europe might continue with additional seasons. Lost is about to start its finale season... i dunno if thats cause they are actually ending the story or if they are getting canceled too... and heroes just started up again and the season looks great so far but im not sure how long it will last considering the last 2 seasons kinda sucked

bring on journey man keep defying gravity sarah connor chronicles was getting really fuckin good, and for fucks sake keep defying gravity! my own worst enemy is ok but not a big deal

so yeah thank you corporate media for being a..... dick

Xprize - working together for the future

many of you fellow cyber nerds already know about google's xprize contest for creating a robot to be launched and land on the moon's surface. for those that dont know about this i will go threw a quick breakdown of it

google along with the Xprize foundation is putting on a world wide competition, the goal is to "safely land a robot on the surface of the Moon, travel 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send images and data back to the Earth". the first team to land on the moon and complete the mission will get 20 MILLION DOLLARS! there is a few catches tho. you want to get it up and done by december 31st 2012 because after that the prize will drop to 15 million. another catch is you have to be 90% privately funded.... so that means you can only have a 1 or 2 major sponsors or you can have alot but only get a little from each. no nike swoosh on my doom lunar bot. the final deadline is dec 31 2014, yeah i know forever from now.. im excited and want to see it now!!!!

check out the video

now to those of you that did know about this.. did you know that Xprize and other competitions going on? yup! they currently have 4 going on. i will talk a bit about each.

first up is one of my favorites: Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE

this one actually was just announced the other day on the 7th

with this one they are trying to make better fuel efficient vehicles. they are using a variety of different types of fuel from gasoline to solar to stuff like vegetable oil and other strange things.
now they havent gotten ALL the rules and regulations worked out yet but they have a few things. like they want it to be efficient but usable for everyday things. there is 2 sections, the mainstream which is normal looking cars (as cool as it may be in your dreams, its not really that cool to be the only one riding around in a car that looks like it was dreamt by george lucas {WOOO!!! STAR WARS!!!}) and then you the alternative class which looks like those george lucas made some of those small japanese cars (we have you now rebel scum). another thing they are aiming for is 100mpg. I KNOW! that would be fucking amazing! a 20 gallon tank would get me from here to here to see this all in one tank of gas. speaking of indiana, one of the teams in this competition is from indiana: BITW Technologies lead by George Voll and Dan Boyd... go guys im cheerin for ya! now there are 25 states in the running with atleast one team in each state giving us a total 88 teams with a total of 107 vehicles. other than USA there is 10 countries giving the competition 23 more teams with 29 more vehicles.... whats that give us

1. a total of 11 countries
2. giving us 111 teams
3. presenting 136 vehicles
   

136 vehicles to make this world a cleaner healthier more fuel efficient planet. once this is done and over with it will pave the way for the automotive industry in bringing us better cars for us and our planet. 80 of them are mainstream and 56 of them are alternative.

up next: Archon X PRIZE for Genomics

i really cant write about this one as i dont know much about the body, dna, and medicine. so im just gonna copy and paste what they have written on the site as a brief description... if you would like to know more click on the link.

"Imagine the day when you and your doctor sit down to review a copy of your own personal genome. This vital information about your biology will enable your physician to inform you of your disease susceptibilities, the best ways to keep yourself healthy and how to avoid or lessen the impact of future illness.

This is a very exciting time in Genomics. Scientists are on the brink of discovering the genetic factors in diabetes, heart disease, common cancers, high blood pressure, asthma, mental illness — virtually any disease that tends to run in families.

In the past, the diagnostic classification of a cancer was based on the organ or tissue location, such as liver or breast cancer. But now, the many forms of cancer can be characterized by their molecular profile. These molecular characteristics provide new information on how rapidly the cancer might spread or how it might respond to specific treatments.

The use of personal genetic information to predict disease susceptibility and guide proactive care has the power to transform our entire healthcare system."

last but not least: Lunar Lander Challenge

ok this one is a bit different.. they have it as a yearly thing that im having troubles following exactly how and what they are going to do with it this year. i dont think they have made any decisions yet but i will post last years video which explains it all worked.

-=-==-=-=-=-=-

yay to xprize and yay to a better life and a better planet.

oh and since your still here can you click an ad or 2 to give me some change... thanks!
