What Facebook & Google Are Hiding From You

I have to constantly fight against this filtering with scavenging the net for content to share on my blog.





Now that the internet works this way it will never go back. The simple fact is that Advertising is what pays for everything and advertisers want to reach their target demographic.

Last Words From Ben Breedlove

Ben has posted an amazing summary of his life surviving with HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy). I'm so glad he shared his story.







I know how this kid feels. I also suffer with Thalassemia Beta Minor. My parents were told about it when I was young and we didn't think much of it until I had my first episode of (SVT) Supraventricular Tachycardia. The doctors checked my heart constantly but it wasn't until my 3rd episode that the doctors realized I needed to see a hematologist. Unlike Ben's issue with his heart, mine is with my blood. Thankfully I have it minor and not major or I wouldn't be alive today. I just can't have alcohol or caffeine and I'll live a normal healthy life.

Ben's story reenforces my belief of what's to come when we all die. If you or a loved one is close to death then you don't have to be scared because what's beyond is Nothing Short of Awesome.

Insane Cliff Edge Bike Trail

I would have to say this is Nothing Short of Insane! I admire their lack of fear and ability to bask in the beauty of this trail. I would hike it but I'm not that skilled with a mountain bike.



In the Unlikely Event...

I really need to consider much more when flying.





Ahahahahah!!!

Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS

Picked this up yesterday at BestBuy. I heard a little about it but I've always been a big fan of Sonic growing up. I was really just interested in seeing the classic sonic levels remastered in 3D. Let me tell you I'm BLOWN AWAY! The graphics are stunning especially in the bonus areas of each act. This YouTube video doesn't do the 3D justice but you can take my word for it. If you are a Sonic fanboy or fangirl you will love this game as much as my wife and I have.



Mighty Switch Force!

Some of you might have noticed that I haven't been posting as often. It's because this AWESOME GAME has been keeping me a little preoccupied. This game combines a little of Portal & Megaman style game play. It's available only for the Nintendo 3DS and through the sShop for only $5.





If you have a 3DS this game is a MUST!

R4i 3DS Gold Card

Whenever I get my hands on anything electronic I can't leave well enough alone. I'm always looking for mods. Growing up I used to use LiteStep to mod my Windows 98 shell, which at the time if you screwed up you had to reinstall winders.

For my birthday yesterday my wife surprised me with a Nintendo 3DS (Limited 25th Zelda Anniversary Edition ;-)


I love retro NES games and for my DS I have the GBA ports for the classic Zelda game and Super Mario Brothers 3. Since the 3DS doesn't read GBA cards I had hopped that the Nintendo eShop would offer those games. No dice... well Nintendo you can place nice and sell me the game, otherwise I will take matters into my own hands.

If you Google how to root your N3DS you will run into a plethora of links which end up forcing you to enter your personal information into some pretty shady sites. I'm not fool enough to do that so I went for a more hassle free solution. R4i sells a card that will let you load roms onto it to play.  

I like to support Nintendo and although I can use this to pirate 3DS games I don't encourage, support or condone such behavior!

I will buy games that are available for purchase but if they are not for sale anywhere in the world it's fair game.









You can purchase this through the source link below. I just bought mine so I will post my experience with it once I receive it.

Android Rooted Motorola Actv Watch

Probably one of the coolest roots I've ever seen. The best use for this is going to be making really cool wrist watch specific apps! I'm going to personally purchase the watch and root it myself and create some apps what would be good for a wrist watch environment. Hello! 007? Batman? Anyone?





Not sure if it's Honeycomb or ICS but either way it's AWESOME!! Check out the source for step by step instructions to root yours.

Holographic Display Prototype

Since the dawn of science fiction we have wanted to create holograms. One company is actually making this magical idea come to life. I love how technology is moving faster than the price drop of existing technology.





Now where's my DAMN HOVER BOARD?!?!?!

At this kid's age I would have been terrified of a stunt like this but I give this fearless kid mad props for trying and succeeding!
