Playstation 3

I am not an advid video gamer by any means. If i am oing to play a video game, it is going to be something involved with sports. The game I play the most on PS 3 is NHL 08 right now. Last night, after the Penguins horrible loss to the Islanders, I stayed up till 1am playing NHL 08 with my buddies. The graphics on PS 3 are unbelieveable and I only have a 720p television. I have it connected through HDMI cables which helps. There are times, I just look forward to playing video games but sometimes I do not even want to think about playing any video games.

Blackboard

Blackboard has many uses in today's education. There is so much information available to both students and educators. Class syllabi, grades, schedules, links, group discussions and studyguides can all be accessed through the internet at any given time. Blackboard is very useful for those who are going to miss classes due to sports, appointments, or illnesses. The only thing i do not like about blackboard is you need to log in with your username and password EVERY time you want to log in. I wish there was a shortcute or another way to save your info.

AIM

I am a huge fan of AOL's Instant Messenger. Being in the military, i can always communicate with all the friends i have acquired on deployments, TDYs, and training. Being a student, it helps if another classmate is online, we can tell each other details about homework and tests coming up. Being a son and brother, it can help keep families together. Being a sexy stud, it can help guys without game whne talking to the ladies they meet at a social gathering or at the gym. AIM is very innovative and at the same time, it can help one with their typing speed.

March Madness

I love this time of year! I am quite the gambler, all without money of course! There is so much excitement generated with the NCAA's March Madness. I try to get on as many brackets as I can. This year, I am only doing two brackets and one Numbers. The one bracket is all done online which is very nice and easy to do with today's technology. If I am interested enough, I can look at any given time to see where I stand in the league. The numbers poll is also nice with today's technology. I can check all the scores from all the different games all at once throughout the entire tournament. I better win on at least one of mine. If I win on all of them, I am going to quit school and go to Disneyland!

iPods

iPods are incredible! So much can be downloaded, "shared", and enjoyed. Today, thousands and thousands of people own them. They are carried on walks to work, in the car, at work, in the gym, and within their homes. So many accessories are sold for iPods from speakers, cases, headphones, car accessibility, and home theater systems. Although, i think i am one of the very few who does not possess an iPod or any other Mp3 player. I do, however, havc iTunes on my laptop though, haha.

Internet

The internet is a tool used virtually by everyone. It can be easily accessible from almost anywhere, the cost has gone down tremendously, and there has been more methods of receiving access to the internet. One can check scores, weather, movie times, communicate, research, check for sales, everything and anything can be found on the internet. For companies and businesses, it is a great source to let your information be viewed and accessed on a 24-7 schedule. Imagine living without the internet. We have all done it at somepoint, but there is so much to gain from the technology one has to the internet.

Thumb Drives

Thumb drives are the best ting when one is always traveling or are not always around their own personal computer. I have two different ones i use all the time. They are very convenient and easy to carry around. They can be either placed in one's pocket, in a backpack, around the neck or wrist, and it can even be attached to aa set of keys. There is a variety of storage available and with the more storage, the greater the price. Everyone who works on the computer and travels should have their own Jump Drive or Thumb Drive.

digital cameras

I need to get myself a new digital camera over break. I have had a few different ones, but i always seem to lose them or break them. The good news is, each time i purchase a new one, they keep getting better and better. There are so many new advancements in the technology of cameras anymore. There will not be an end to this either. I am looking for the most compact camera with the least amount of buttons. I am sure i will have brand new one in time for the St Patrick's Day parade!
