What's One Thing You've Always Wanted - Technology

Ok, the question for the day is, what is one thing you've always wanted that is concerned with Technology.  How might you go about getting it?

Lately, I've been wanting a Tesla Roadster.  This car is awesome, a true weekend warrior car.  It's a sports car, that is 100% electric.  That's right.  It gets good miles on the charge as well.  Only problem?  It cost about $100k.  So, how am I going to get this beast?

I think the only way I'll be able to get it is to work smarter and not harder.  I'm going to have to formulate a plan to put every dollar I get to work for me.  I'm going to have to work out an investing strategy.  Be it stocks, or turn key investments.  Heck, I might even be able to start my own business.

I'm also going to have to take charge of the way I handle my money.  No more wasteful spending.  I'm going to have to keep a tight fist on that money.  I can't just go out and spend it like I normally do.

Now, that I know what I have to do, it's time to start setting goals.

My Take On Thinking Outside The Box

We have that Age Old question.  How does one thing outside the box?  This question isn't always able to be answered.  I think, that for everyone, it's a different process that we have to discover.  I'll share with you my thoughts on the matter though.

Thinking outside the box, requires one thing and one thing only, Knowledge.  That's right, we have to constantly be learning to be able to think outside the box.  We have to be comfortable enough with ourselves that we can accept change.  What kind of change?  Change within.  This change within, is going to give us a brighter view on the Universe itself and how things work the way the do.

How do we go about this change?  Well, I think the absolute best way to go about this change, is to go out and experience the world.  If you can't travel the world, travel your own country at least.  It's always easier to travel within your own country than it is to travel the world.  So, what is there to gain by all this travel?

Knowledge and Experience.  These two things combine, will allow us to look at our inner selves and see things in a different way.  Think about how your first experience was with a foreigner.  Ok, got that experience?  Many people's first experience with a foreigner in America is often with Chinese people in a Chinese buffet.  If you're Chinese or Oriental for that matter, that's often a different story.

This knowledge and experience we gain over time, will shape who we become.  It will change the way we think, unless of course you're a stubborn fool that is set in your own ways.  I believe that the best way to grow, is to experience.  The experience of different cultures and the way they see things and do things for that matter, changes us all.  Whether we like it or not.  This perspective allows us to broaden our minds, thus giving us a brighter picture.

If you can't travel the world, you can get the same experience from traveling in your own country.  While not to the extent of traveling the world, it does have it's benefits.  The more people you interact with, the more you'll learn.  We have to make it a point, to learn and grow.  If we stop learning, then what are we?  You might have made straight A's in school, but unless you apply that knowledge and grow, you're a nobody.  Do we really want to be a nobody?  I know I sure don't.

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.

And here is the link to the Blog.

Why I Like Minecraft?

Minecraft

What the heck is it?

Well, Minecraft is a simple, easy, fun game.  Well, that's not all it really is.  It can be aggravating at times, but which game can't?  No, seriously, what is Minecraft?  Well, Minecraft simply put, is a game based off Mining and Crafting.  Hence the name Minecraft.  The game itself is made up of 3D cubes.

"Oh no, 3D Cubes" (runs and hides).  Ok you sissy.  Run away, but your missing a great game by judging it by it's graphics.  While it isn't top "NOTCH" graphics, it is still a great game.  Graphics isn't everything.  I've seen some crappy games come from some beautifully designed games.  Too much effort into the graphics, not enough into the gameplay.  And if you like those kind of games.  Pft, I feel sorry for you.

What's with the caps lock?  Well, it just so happens that "Notch" is the God of Minecraft.  But, Notch isn't the one you have to fear in Minecraft.  Nope.  I think the worst thing in Minecraft, has to be Creepers.  What's a Creeper?  Well, they are Green things that run around and blow you up if you aren't careful.

..........Wait..........Did you just say blow up?  Yes, I did, but, they have to touch you, or you have to touch them first before they start flashing.  If you run far enough away, they'll stop flashing and won't blow up.  Thus is the tactic to kill them.

Hit, and run like a bat out of hell.
Rinse and repeat.

Why would you want to play a game where the whole purpose of the game is to Mine and Craft?
Well, that can be easily answered.  I'll admit, the game can be addicting.  But, with the right elements, any game can be addicting to the right person.  But, that's not why you should play it.  There are a load of crafting options you can make.  On top of that, they are always updating the game.  Once you buy the game, it's yours.  You can update the game free of charge.  What you can build, is really up to you.  I've seen some pretty creative things coming out of Minecraft.

Also, on a side note, you can host your own server with the game.  Create mod packs and what not.  The sky is the limit here.  So, if you are interested in getting this game.  I'd advise you to go to the link below.
