You guys have probably seen this, but if not, you should check it out. It is so cool:

It has over 31,000,000 views right now, and it got onto the History channel the other day. Everyone is talking about it. It's so cool how these animals protect each other. It shows how they all have feelings and stuff too.

I'm not your friend, buddy!

What I think about the new BYOND:

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 21:14:12 GMT

Okay, well, most of you know me, and most of you have seen me around. I joined BYOND back in 2000, pretty much when it first started (yes, I know about 4 people have been around since 1999, but whatever, that doesn't count. Also, yes, I remember when it was called DUNG). The past couple of years I have been on BYOND less and less. The past 6 months, I have probably been on BYOND about 10 times, just to check on things...it's a habit. I remember when people used to help each other out, when games were original and fun, yada yada.

I remember when the website was all black, with dark blue (or purple, I have no clue what color that was) borders. That was what I was used to. Simple navigation. Then, a few years later, the website changed. Yeah, that took some time getting used to, didn't it? I felt awkward using it. But yeah, we all got used to it. Then about 8 or so months ago (I really have no clue when) they added that front page thing to welcome newcomers once people started pouring into the website.

Guilds were created, retarded games were being made, chaos broke loose. People started creating RSC Extractors (yeah, I know, it was programmed 10x worse than the most retarded retard could program it, but whatever, it's the principle of it), stupid DragonBall Z games were getting into competitions with each other such as server crashing, spam, whatever, you name it. The bigger the community got, the more divided it became. The more sane part of the community stuck around in chat games while the morons thought they were hacking Naruto games. People just got out of control, and more...dumber.

Now, with this website, I feel like I cannot "enter" the community. What I mean is, on the old website, when I got past the welcome page and saw the guilds all in a row, I felt like I was "inside" BYOND. Now, I feel like I am outside of it when I visit this website. I do not know how to explain it. Maybe I just have to get used to the website like last time.

The website now hosts sponsors. I mean, this just seems so awkward. We now have a choice to pay for subscriptions (and not to mention, the price for them have risen, I think we all know where this is headed). I mean, the more we add to the website, the more memberships and crap will cost. How far is this going to go? Well, let's see where this website, and the community is headed. I wish BYOND the best of luck because it sure brought me tons of entertainment when I was younger, and bored.

I just hope BYOND doesn't go down the pipes and become all about money and sponsors. Don't lose sight of the community because BYOND is probably the greatest community ever formed, from my standpoint.

Good luck, BYOND.

No more gas tanks.

While facilities for retail distribution of hydrogen are obviously extremely limited right now, Honda is actively working to change that too. Honda Soltec recently started production of new photo-voltaic cells that only require half the energy input to manufacture of current cells. Their Torrance, CA headquarters campus has a hydrogen filling station that features two different H2 generators. A solar powered electrolyzer produces the gas from water, while the experimental Home Energy Station has a natural gas reformer.

Is he human?

I just heard about this guy, so I looked him up. His name is Steve Terada, and I don't think he's human:

My Major...

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 08:24:47 GMT

I am in my sophomore year of college and I already know what I want to do with my life. Some may say it took me awhile to figure it out, but a majority will say I found out early, either way, I finally know. I want to be a Physical Therapist. Why? Because it is what I am good at, and it is what I love to do. Physical Therapy has my name written all over it. Even my friends agree. The median salary that you get from this job is $60,000 a year. That does not seem like a lot to me, though, especially since it requires a very stressful practice.

I have to take biology, chemistry, and physics. I also have to take specialized courses such as biomechanics, neuroanatomy, human growth and development, manifestations of disease, examination techniques, and therapeutic procedures. Yeah, now that is a pain. And for $60,000 a year? I love physical therapy, but is it worth it? I mean, I will be out of school by the time I am 25, and I am 19. It is required I get my masters degree and doctorates degree. I might go for my PhD though.

Do you think that $60,000 will increases dramatically within the years? What do you guys think?

Okay, well, me and a few people were at Menethil Harbor and got onto a boat to head for Theramore Isle. Once we arrived at the docks of Theramore Isle we were minding our own business. We were heading for the town when all of a sudden an enormous sea monster out of no where just pops out of the water and starts owning everyone. I guess he must have spotted one of us and decided he was hungry...

Coincidence? I think not!

X-Box Live: Where It Stand Now...

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 20:52:56 GMT

Okay, I have been messing around with my X-Box Live Networking System and whatnot and I still cannot get it to work. I may be doing it wrong, so anyone with experience, or someone with more common sense/logic than me, please try and correct my mistakes:

I have an Ethernet cable. I connected one end to the back of the X-Box 360, and the other end to my computer modem, next to where my mouse and everything is plugged in. My router/cable modem is downstairs beneath me. I get very good connection up here, it is like I am in the same room as the cable modem. When I press "Test X-Box Live Connection" it says "Network Adapter: Wired", then it says "IP Address: Failed". The IP Address is giving me a lot of problems. It always says failed, I have tried numerous things.

When the Ethernet plug is connected to my X-Box 360 and computer, I get a new thing that pops up saying:

Local Area Connection
Speed: 100.0 Mbps
Status: Limited or no connectivity

That obviously is my connection to X-Box Live. At least I think so. My Internet on my computer still works though. Nothing has changed with that. I went to a few X-Box Live forums and stuff and nothing has helped. I went to a few support things on the website and it suggested I power cycled. Some guy who works at Best Buy told me to do this as well. I did this like five minutes ago, and still, the IP Address fails. I am not sure if the local area connection status that I posted above has to be connected or something. Someone please explain this to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I also found a wireless Ethernet box that senses the router downstairs and I can plug my Ethernet cable into it. That does not work either.

Every time it says my IP Address has Failed, I click "More Info" and the very top sentence always tells me what the exact problem is. I did a lot of things and I am getting pretty close, at least I think so. What it says now is, "Your gateway did not respond to a network request." I have no idea what that means. Can someone please explain that to me? Another thing I need to know is, when I put my IP Address, Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server, Subnet Mask, Gateway, etc., into the X-Box Live Network Setup do I have to put in the same IP Address, Gateway, Primary DNS Server, etc. that my computer has? This would help me a lot also, even though I tried the automatic option, and the manual where I put in the same information as my computer.

My router is Linksys and my modem is Cable.

Somebody please help me, I really want to play X-Box Live and I have tried everything possible. Nothing works and my IP Address still says Failed.

Thank you so much to whoever tries to help me.

Guess who I am...
