Will People Be Storing Meat and Dairy Products?

Microbiologist Dan O Sullivan, found an interesting preservative while doing research on the intestine.  This was actually an accidental find, but Dan O Sullivan already has a patent on it.  Why?  Simple, the preservative properties of this, are already at work in the human body.  This brings up one question that people are asking.  Does this mean that it's safe?  Well, there are still studies being done on it, so it's hard to say.

One thing is clear though.  Mr. Sullivan is already expecting foods to have this preservative in them in at least one to three years.  He said three years, others believe as little as one.  What is this preservative called?  Nisin and it has bacteria killing properties that can even destroy E. Coli.  This may be one reason why some people are subjective to the E. Coli strain.  Not enough Nisin in their system?

Of course, with this new discovery, there arises a lot of questions.  Is it safe to eat?  Many suspect that it is, sense it's found in the body naturally, yet some believe that too much, could lead to disorders, diseases, etc.  How much research is needed to prove this safe?  Is one year enough time?  Or is the whole three years required?  Perhaps even longer?

Nisin actually has similar chemical properties that are in the preservative Bisin, (used in cheese).  Some believe that this preservative will allow the preservation of food to be longer than just a few years.  Maybe even forever.  Imagine if the Egyptians had stored Meat and Dairy Products in their tomes?  What if we were digging up several thousand year old Meat and Dairy that was still good?

So, there arise another question.  Many people like to put back food for hard times.  Survival food, so to speak.  Will you be putting back Meat and Dairy if it can last 10 - 20 years or longer?  How long will it be before you decide that it's safe?  Will you wait another 10 - 20 years to see if their are any side effects from eating too much of this preservative?

To Do, Or Not To Do, The Age Old Question Answered.

To do, or not to do.  We've all heard that question.  Oh wait......that was to be, or not to be.  Same difference really.  To do, or to be.  If we're doing something, we're being something, right?  Here's a simple method on how to answer that question.  First things first.  Ask yourself a question.

If you want to do something, one of the first things we have to do, is ask ourselves, "Will this hurt me?"  Chances are if their is a good probability that it will hurt you, don't do it.  That simple.  If it's not going to hurt you, do it.  It's our life, we deserve to be happy right?

That brings us to the second question.  "Will this make me happy?"  Do you get an adrenaline rush from doing something?  Does that adrenaline rush make you happy?  What really does make you happy?  Does slowing down and enjoying the moment make you happy?  If so, chances are, you should do it.

Sometimes, we just have to be brave.  Yep, every so often, being brave and doing something we've never done, is exhilarating.  We have to step outside our boundaries to grow.  Growing is what life is all about.  So, as Nike would say, "Just Do It."  Have some fun in life, but don't do anything stupid that would cause you to injure yourself.

Why You Should Check Out Grooveshark

Grooveshark was shared to me by a friend of mine.  What is Grooveshark?  Grooveshark is a place you can go to listen to music.  "Wait, can't I do that at lastfm?"  Sure, you can do that at lastfm, but you might find a reason here to use Grooveshark instead.

I instantly fell in love with Grooveshark the moment I found I can get 8bit music on there.  "8big?  Seriously dude?"  Yep, seriously.  I'm a gamer.  I grew up on Games.  My first system was a Nintendo Entertainment System (aka - NES).  I've always been a Nintendo Fan Boy.  I'm a fan of Playstation as well.  That seems to be Sony's expertise.  Don't let them touch an MMO.  (Massive Multiplayer Online game).

The great thing about Grooveshark?  It's easy to find artist that you know.  The search is easy to find.  In fact, the search should be one of the first things you see when you enter the website.  Just type in an Artist and you're good to go.

Did I mention you can create your own playlist?  Yep, on top of the like and dislike system that Yahoo Radio and LastFM have, Grooveshark has a playlist option.  Like a song?  Create a playlist and add it.  That simple.

Is this the way internet radio should be?  Well, personally, in my opinion, I'd combine features of all the internet radio.  The greatest things often borrow ideas from other websites.  Look at Facebook.  It wasn't even the first Social Networking site.  Now it's huge.

Do I recommend Grooveshark?  Certainly.  I say give it a go.  The only complain one might have right now, is that it's not fully supported by the Iphone.  Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.

Facebook + Skype + Microsoft = Disaster?

So, Facebook just got done announcing a so called Major announcement.  They have been hard at work adding new features to Facebook over the past 6 months.  What new features are they adding?  So far they've only told us about three.  Group Chat, Chat Redesign, and drum roll.....Video Chat.

So, what about Group chat?  What's it like?  Basically, group chat is going to be added to groups so people can communicate easier.  Much of Facebook's traffic right now is in the chat system, so why not allow groups to chat?  Simple concept right?

Facebook has gone and done it again.  They are in the redesign mode.  Are they trying to be like MySpace?  In my personal opinion, MySpace is dead.  They've changed the layout so much, it wasn't funny.  They've changed so much and added so many features that the system couldn't handle it.  The pages had ridiculously long loading times, etc, etc.  So, why is Facebook doing all this redesign?  Epic fail if you ask me.  Seriously.  Supposedly, the new design will allow for your friends to be easier to chat with if you have a wide enough screen.  If you have that wide enough screen, the chat bar that shows all your online/offline friends, will appear automatically to the right.  Wow, what a make over.  Seriously?

Video chat to Facebook?  While many people think it's a good idea to have video chat to Facebook, I think it's just another way to slow down Facebook.  I don't know about you, but I'm not the only one that has had issues using Facebook and it lagging.  All this money, and they can't upgrade their equipment to support the users and the traffic.  Facebook currently has 4 Billion things being shared each month.  That's right, 4 Billion things.  I'm afraid that with all the changes to the layouts, and what not, that Facebook is only going to slow itself down with the Video chat.  On top of that, they are partnered with Skype?

My issue with Skype.  So, Skype apparently is in the process of being sold to Microsoft.  Gasp....That's right.  Microsoft.  Many of you have had experiences with Microsoft.  It seems that anything Microsoft touches, they destroy.  Heck, even their own Operating systems.  Vista was a Fail and unless you have at least 4 gig of ram, don't get 7.  It's almost as though Microsoft doesn't care about it's product.  Seriously.

So, what do I think about all this hype and updates coming to Facebook?  Personally, I think that it's a bunch of B.S.  I think I'll wait for Google Plus.  Google has the money and seems to know what people want way before Facebook.  On top of that, I've heard nothing but good things about Google +.  With that said, don't take my word for it.  Form your own opinion.

How to write several blog post in one day?

So, I was asked to write a blog post on how to write several blog post in one day.  What is my key?  I think the key to my success is I just write what ever is on my mind.  One thing I'm started to do is read the newspaper occasionally.  I can get at least several blog post out of there.

Writing multiple blog post a day doesn't have to be time consuming or difficult.  I just wrote two blog post in probably 5-10 minutes.  The thing is, if you find something interesting.  Write about it.  If you have to, make a second blog away from your main blog and write about photos that you find on the internet.  If you find some cool wallpapers, or a website that is loaded with them, write about it.  Share the link.  Are you a news junkie, and love keeping up with current events?  Write about your favorite website for gathering information.  Or, better yet, keep that website for yourself and write about the article that stick out to you.  Write about how stupid the people are in the article.  What your thoughts are on the whole issue.  Sure you're going to have some criticism, but every great writer has their critics.  Look at J. K. Rowling.  Being attacked by the Christians.  This is why I hate religion.  It's the hard core religious nuts that are perverting things around.  I consider myself a spiritualist, not a religious type.

If you're passionate about religion though, write about it.  I'm sure you'll get a following.  While my following is currently only two people on this blog.  I have a few readers on my other blog as well.  It's the comments I get like "With the bases loaded, you struck us out with that answer."  "This post makes mine look feeble."  These kind of comments that I get keep me inspired.  They keep me going. That says to me that, hey someone is actually reading my stuff.  It may take you a while to get a few followers, but hey, keep at it and you'll get them in no time  Just stay active on the social networks.

Well, I think that's about all I have to say really.  Just write what your passionate about.  Pick several things to write about.  A lot of blogs nowadays are going that route  They don't just focus on one thing anymore.  If you enjoyed this post and want to follow me on this blog.  I welcome your following  I also have another blog that I would like you to follow me on.  It's more of my writing challenge, and pretty much anything that doesn't fit in here.  It's more of my serious blog.  This blog is just for fun really.
