Day 12: Smile

 

Some new head-shots of two of the puppies.

Day 11: Skunk

 

I think that their mother Roxie met with a Skunk. Now all the puppies smell like one.

Day 10: Eyes are starting to open

 

Some of the puppie's eyes were starting to open today. At the moment they are just tiny little slits but  they will get bigger. Probably in 3 or so days they will be able to see much more.

Day 9: Hungry puppies

 

Today the puppies were super loud. If Roxie would leave them, they would whine so loud they would start to howl.

Best Day of My Life

So I went to my friend's (Best friend) volleyball game. I had such a great time. I love my little sister. She is so sweet and gives the worlds best hugs. She brightens the world wherever she goes. She gives joy to the meaning life. I will always be her big brother. Her little sister and mother are so loving also. And I am 10 cents richer. haha. I also officially have the softest shoulder to rest on. haha I love my Erica.

Day 8: Dream time

 

When I checked on the puppies today they were dreaming.

 

This one was whining.

 

This one was moaning.

Day 7: Long day

 

The puppies sure were tired today. I have never seen them this tired.

Serious Flooding in the Esparto Areas

These photos were not taken by me. These photos were found on Google. I will update the post with more photos as I find more.

 

^^This photo was taken around CR 87. And yes the water is where the road is supposed to be.

 

This is a section of Highway 16 betwen Madison and Esparto before they closed to road.

So early this morning our dog Roxie had puppies again. This time she had 8 of them. It looks like there are at leased 2 father yet again. Darn dogs. I'll post a daily photos of them here with this set being the first of many.

The Zune Is NOT Dead, and what about competitors?

Ok, so most of you already know about the Bloomberg article, and hundreds of others hace said about the Zune hardware going to die. Yes I believe that it is going to die. So will the iPod hardware. Even that 3D LED television you have. That hardware will die. Remember those old records and the eight-track tapes, then the cassettes, then Cds, and Mp3s. Those will die off as technology advances.
Zune posted this on their Facebook and Twitter pages:
 “We have nothing to announce about another Zune device — but most recently have introduced Zune HD to Canada via the Zune Originals store and remain committed to supporting our devices in North America,” the company said in an e-mailed statement. “We are thrilled by the consumer excitement for Zune across many new platforms, including Windows Phone 7 and Xbox 360. Our long-term strategy focuses on the strength of the entire Zune ecosystem across Microsoft platforms.”

Dave McLauchlan (@DaveMacMS) is a Zune hardware developer and he posted this:

“I’ve had tweets, emails, PMs and phone calls. People offering condolences, checking in on me, etc… etc… Stop, stop, stop!

The Bloomberg article is NOT an official statement from Microsoft (apart from the quote above). The headline is purportedly from a “person familiar with the matter” – which of course tells you nothing.

Here’s what you should know – ALL consumer electronics products have a lifespan, and the Zune HD is 18mo old. We were completely frank about this year’s Zune hardware being the WP7 phones, and we continue to both sell and fully support the Zune HD line of products. And as I’ve promised – we continue to bring new apps and games to the platform. More of those are in the works, I promise you.
I manage business development for Zune hardware, and I still have that job. Our PR folks released a statement today that included the text: “We’ll share more information about the evolution of the Zune entertainment service and Zune hardware as future plans develop.”
To be 100% clear – NO information about our future plans, no matter what the incarnation, has been shared. Until then treat with healthy skepticism anything you read. That’s probably a good general rule actually.
So for those who tweeted or emailed asking what I’m “going to do now” – I’ll be going to work tomorrow, working on Zune hardware bizdev. And when Microsoft announces news that is actually news, you’ll hear it from us directly, and I’ll be sure to pass it on immediately. Only then should you take it as gospel.
Cheers, Dave.”
There, strait from the Zune hardware development man. The Zune is NOT dead. He stated as I have that all technology will die off as time comes even the iPod and iPod Touch. I also have emailed about 5 friends who work on the Zune, they all have their jobs and they said that the Zune is NOT dead. I personally have the Zune flash 4, 8, 16. Zune 30 original pink and white. Zune 120 brown, And 2 blue Zune HD 32s. I also own the iPod 30GB video, and the iPod Touch 8GB 2^nd Gen. I have used all of them regularly. I always carry my iPod Touch and a 32GB Zune HD on me all the time. I have lots of music, podcasts, and videos on my Zunes. I ONLY use my iPod Touch for applications like Facebook, Twitter, Email, ect. I do not have any media on my iPod because the OS is hard to use for media. I also hate having to use iTunes to do anything. On my Zune it seems like the OS is built around media unlike the iPod Touch which is built around the applications. I am looking to add another pmp to my family; a Samsung Galaxy Player. Those are coming out in a few days. So yes I see why some people want an iPod over the Zune. But at the end of this era these devices will only be in collections and museums. But I personally support both Zune and iPod. It all depends on the user. But for me I use both and they are a great part of my day. Please help us pass on word that the Zune is NOT dead. We need this to be on that top of all news feeds. This needs to be told so that people will not believe rumors as quickly. So go and tweet, facebook and make this known. If you want to express your different viewpoint please comment below.

Number 4 Nuclear Reactor Explodes

Radiation has leaked all the way to Tokyo, over 100 miles away. Japan has keped all people away from the power plants. The problem all happened when the earthquake hit. The plants lost power with the quake that caused the circulation of the water what cooled the system to fail. This failure made a automatic system of bars to come up to help cool. The next step was for a generator to turn on and spray a coolant on the cores. That failed after a small about of time. The next step was for the steam to be condensed into a liquid form again and recirculated. There must have been a leak in the shell and it caused the level of liquid coolant to leak out and that raised the internal temperatures. Their next step was to pump in the local sea water into the cores to cool it. That water is extremely corrosive and would destroy the use of the cores. This worked for a few days. But steam and hydrogen built up and finally blew up. The death toll has risen to 2400 and no end in sight. Also there and many affected by the radiation levels.
Please comment below if you have been effected by this disaster.

Random Photo Sessions

Here are some photos taken with my bro and a friend. 

 

We found some battery powerd Christmas lights and, well someone had some trouble finding the tree.

 

Just plain ol' me

 

Our backdrop. Just a old flag with a shitload of lights. That room was HOT.

 

Sometimes those black n' white pictures are just great.

 

Up above.

 

Just a random sign at our driveway.

Watch out people.
