* The 25th I met the Fresno Fire Marshal/Chief. There was an alarm malfunction at work and simultaneously a chemical spill at the neighboring business “LinkUs”. They are an outsourced company who install satellite TV. The LinkUs employees were standing out in the parking lot. The fire Marshal said they (40 employees) were getting sick and he thought it to be connected in some way to my work's alarm system. There were three fire trucks, two ambulances, police van, firemen, etc. The doors were taped shut. I imagine it's been resolved by now, whatever made the folks sick.

* The 26th I turned in my Two Week notice at work. My boss is my room mate, we live in Coursegold not far from Yosemite National Park. I wish to move back into Fresno. Scott has mentioned he would like to move out of his place too, to work on motorcycles and have more space. Perhaps he'll be my room mate if we can find a house in Fresno with rent under $1300.00 a month.

* The 27th I had lunch with Sina for the first time in a long time. I found out Sina had in the past worked next door to the business I just put in my two week notice for. She had quit before I started.

* Monday was a Bible Study at Jim Booze's home. He says he has a place for me to stay.

* Today the 28th I have to finish up painting some rooms here at home, and then pack up my stuff. I just don't yet know where I'll live, or work.

Could you guys pray for me to find a good job and a nice place to live?

God Bless,

This is about GoogleEarth as an OS. Possible ideas I've had. I origionally posted this to my DeviantArt and then LiveJournal account. Here it is here at Vox now:

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 3, 2007, 6:46 PM

 What is beyond. This time we discuss OS interfaces. That next Ubuntu Linux... That next Apple OSX... Whatever is your “That Next”, we all wonder.

This entry is a modified version of a comment I had sent to my new friend..maybe girlfrin...err...I'm not entirely sure yet. The comment is about the future of interfacing with your computer. An OS in the form of a GoogleEarth-like 3D Storm, filling every one of your or your Child's senses, teaching them the intricate expanse of sciences and philosophies. Allowing them their own cultural and religious choices of course, and supplying them with a full spectrum of information about the religion they choose. This OS will empower the child to choose what they wish to learn, and provide the data in a fun and fully hands-on approach. The child will look into their video glasses, and or a space satellite projecting images directly into the Child's eyes from the sky. They will see a realistic virtual earth, and feel as if they are flying over the earth, with subtle cues in nature representing archives of information. The idea to feel NATURAL and timeless, standing on the shoulders of giants.

Each interface being a set of A.I. Google algorithms observing how the user learns and thinks, and showing a unique interface to each user based on their profession and skills. Expanding them as a human, as far as they wish to go. Perhaps the Sony Playstation will be the satellite in the sky, feeding interactive video into our minds, without us needing a computer at all. Privacy is indeed a concern, but lets face the music, the future doesn't halt for whiners, it plows on, and thus we need to adapt and use it or it'll use us.

The future OS will come from Google or a similar mathematical corporation, of course I say this because I'm a supporter of Google's open-source existence (NO SECRETS!) movement. I just made up that movement name, but it's real in my heart. So, I think Google will continue to produce technologies for Linux, for Ubuntu OS specifically. MickeyMouseSoft VISTA and Assple OSX cannot keep up with the opensource technologies emerging, especially for cellphones and gadgets that are not fast enough to run VISTA. Unless those gadgets have a video feed of a faster PC on their screen, which they will. Still, VISTA has little to do with an actually smart OS.

Either the nail in Microsoft's coffin, or possibly their salvation, is they have had talked about removing the 'constraints' of 2D and channeling their creativity to designing a completely 3D interface. Not just the gimmicky table-top PC, but an entirely new 3D design... think of layers of clouds rather than just polygons. A cloud storm on your PC screen, with lightning and noises representing data, filling all your senses at once, feeding a stream of data directly into your mind through self-hypnosis. That is my take on Microsoft's idea of 3D, and it's not a bad idea at all. If Microsoft doesn't get the 3D OS right, and they usually DON'T, someone else will use the technology (Ubuntu with Google's financial backing) and kick Microsoft's ass. Dell is already shipping Ubuntu OS (opposed to VISTA) on some Laptops, and HP has said they wish to also. Bill Gates already left Microsoft to make sweet love to Warren Buffet in philanthropy, so it's not Mr Gates problem anymore. Without Mr Gates (who oversees certain MS events but cannot live forever), Microsoft will get drunk and puke on their dress every time they court a large corporation. Let's hope they figure out a way to navigate (morally repair) the slow-turning lawsuit-spitting warship that is MS before they implode. Google on the other hand, SIMPLY needs to maintain a Do-No-Evil stance.

These are some programs and data you might wish to experience to get an idea of the “Future OS” you'll be using in three to six years. Knoweledge and wisdom are power.

* SecondLife is a 3D chat community, content designed by users, and works well on Ubuntu.
* GoogleEarth is a 3D Earth, overlayed with Satilite imagry and 3D topography, GPS data, layers, maps, and loads of plugins to expand your experience. This ALSO runs on, surprise surprise, Ubuntu.
* GoogleLabs [link] is a website that showcases just a few of the many projects in the works at Google.
* Two futurists I would like to promote... John C. Dvorak [link] is a known writer in the tech sector, and Dr Michio Kaku [link] who is one of THE worlds leading physicists. Both of them are inventive, suggest ideas for future exploration, and have inventive minds. They are extremely different people, but share many ideals. Leo Laporte [link] is a third person I would like to mention...who is brilliant with computers and philosophy, and can be found all over the web, and is almost too famous to mention at all. He doesn't strike me as a futurist though.
* The (rough draft) Role Models [link] page of my website.

I often say “I am the Google”, in lose reference to Star Trek's Borg who collect technologies. But we are more like “Seven of Nine”, we have the free-will to choose what products and services we individually desire, and not be hindered by the collective hive mind.

Humanity will mature to easily integrate fragmented data (that Google among others collect) into A.I. Databases which will graphically overlay all bits of knowledge of humanity; making search so easy we won't have to even think about it.

There are too many variables to correctly predict the future, but there are a lot of context clues and historical databases to view from. Predicting the future of society and technology is like being good at the stock market, in fact it's the same thing.

Thanks for reading. This is one of many articles I've written about Google, technology, and interacting with information.

Do you ever wonder what is beyond. Life. The galaxy. Space. Stars. That next hill on the horizon. That next song in DDR. That next Google product... That next Apple iPhone... Whatever your “That Next”, we all wonder.

Let me tell you a story of a blue little man in a blue little world in an infinite existence of inter-winding intricate complexities and dimensions so perplexing, that only the God of the Angel Armies can comprehend and command.

The little blue man prays and prays but always wonders what is next.

Our little blue man who is nearly non-existent, has a name. His name is simply Zume. On the outside he's a simple person. He likes to think, because thats his escape from his mainly self-appointed limitations due to fear and sadness from silly little events that don't really have any impact on him anyway. Lets call these events the flow of modern society. He's also depressed, but can't find the energy to take medication. But hey, wisdom is forged in pain. He is a very safe person, who rarely leaves the protection of his own home in which he lives with his employer. Zume desires to be wild, to live with a passion, to move and run free in the plains of Africa in the heat of summer. He wants to leap through rapid white water falls and dive into situations with righteous faith that it'll all turn out nothing less than fantastic. He wants to scream at the top of his lungs as he leaps from treetops in the Amazon Rain Forrest. He dreams to be the next big author of an Organizational Life Productivity Techniques book. His website overflows with half written self-help tips. He doesn't know the meaning of NO, pushing through until his goals see the light of day. This is mainly because his best efforts nearly always fail, but that just drives him further to be a successful role model for his community and nation. He does not simply “just” have morals, he goes further, he raves through the Internet about the benefits of living a true Christian lifestyle. He smiles and laughs and leaps into online friendships with the whole spectrum of humanity; all the while just barely gripping to actual happiness. The world as he knows it, is contained within a laptop, a 3D integration of Satellite Imagery and Topography. Google. Google is the supplier of his addiction. Google is the giant from which shoulders he stands, peering down onto the vast matrix of blogs and clockwork search algorithms. One day he will use Google to move out into the real world. Mapping out his every step, planning the long journey into the outdoors. Not just some unsophisticated weekend hike, not just a plane ride, but a true change in life. He will. Be. A Hero. He will move to a remote country and establish a community of high-tech educational centers. One day. Some day. Some far off day. Today! Some day. When the right doors open themselves. For now he lays on his bed at 5AM in Central California USA. The sun will rise in the heavens any moment. An untested day to dream...a fresh chance to ascend to new places. Where the Lord calls him he shall go...until he slips and slides back to the start. He is free, he is young, he is single. Whats the hold up you may ask? Sin. Modern society making him believe he's ill immobile. His own friends and family telling him to stay put and make good with the corroded tools at hand. He's full of fire now, he's not going to let anyone walk on him ever again. Shortly he will take one more small step to freedom..he will post this journal entry. Then..who knows...he just might get up and move to Barcelona. The sky is the limit, no, the boundary of the universe is the limit.

I am free to live for you. I will serve the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, with all my mind, with all my strength. I will live. History will recognize me as a reliable, dependable brother in Christ.

We are all created to serve, to care, to love. We all have unique gifts we are morally obligated to invest with wisdom. I invite you all to share your stories of how you use or hope to use your abilities.

Tonight I attended the Heather and Ed Breedlove wedding. They are such a cute couple. Ed is someone I know through my boss Kirk and my buddy Scott. Ed and Orin are very good friends, and Orin's wedding was the previous wedding I went to. I was surprised how many people I recognized at the wedding. They all know each other, all nine billion trillion zillion of them. Well lets skip the family tree and just say they are all Church buddies...used to be...mostly. And room mates. Many of the people here in Fresno know each other, don't ask me how such a large population keeps tabs on each other. Half a million or more people..that must be a very large physical social network. Social...scary. ANYWAY... Kirk and I were a little late to the wedding but we got there in time to see the end of it and had a good meal. It was an indoor wedding so I didn't take photos (being a nature photographer) but everyone else did so I'll get some of those. A super cute and high-energy Asian girl (hehe) drew on the newlyweds car and was showing off her artwork. I so wanted to meet her. Normally I just think I'm not attractive enough to go out with a supermodel looking girl...but then I see some of their boyfriends and it's like...I just might have a chance. I mean ok some of them are superficial, but you know what, some of the worlds most beautiful women really do have a soul and mind. I know some women and men get offended when you discount them as airheads, but lets face the truth that pretty people can get by without using their brains. It's not just some prejudice against pretty people, it's a solid fact. I admit I am a bit jealous of good looking and witty people. Often I'm harsh on myself because I'm not as funny or knowledgeable as the people I'm around. I think it'll just take a little more time for me to find the right woman, but it'll happen. Someone who doesn't mind my absent mindedness and overbearing love of technology and nature. I'll find someone...I hope. It's of course up to the Lord, as everything is, so I just keep an eye out for ways to improve my social boundaries and break through with some new level of personality and connect ability with large groups. That is where I freeze, when there are a lot of people around me. Too many people chatting away makes too much noise and it's hard to tune them out. I got a chance to talk with Sarah who recently returned home from a missionary to Ruwanda (sp). She's so adorable, and real. I really like Sarah. She's a little too old for me, and way more social and fun than I am, but still... Maybe some day she might be the one..? I don't know. I guess it's best to just live day by day and try to enjoy the single life. I want a family so bad... I need to meet people and have fun for once. Scott knows so many people, and Sarah too. They both are excellent ways to have fun and be with caring people. Why don't I hang out with them? Well I have this excuse that my job requires I be there 24/7, but the reality is that if I were more bold I would just go places and not fear the wrath of my employer, who generally doesn't mind me having a social life. I have a lot of fear, it's quite needless.

Things I would do if I were slightly more comfortable around people:

1. Once a month goto the water park. $20.00 or something like that.

2. Once a month climb Half Dome. 6 Mile Hike. Free. Perhaps alternate with the easier Yosemite Falls hike.

3. Once a year crawl through Crystal Cave. I think thats a 4 hour muddy journey. $130.00?

4. Once a week attend a cell group through my church NorthSide Christian.

5. Find time away from work to do all of this!

6. Something I actually do, is meet up with Jeannette every Sunday at Fig Garden's Bagel Shop after Church at NorthSide. Of course my boss is right there too.

7. Attend birthday parties of friends. Just hang out and be there for them.

8. Another thing I do is visit my parents at Christmas...but I don't really leave the house much. My father is the main cause of this. I need to set some guidelines that I'm there to visit my loved onces, not just my immediate family. I need to meet new people in the Washington area, too, as my old friends were never all that social...but not give up on them. They need encouragement to attend healthy congregations such as Church and cell groups.

9. Once a month goto borders and sit still for a few hours reading Dilbert comics, or self help books. Talk at least a little with those who sit near me. Don't buy anything though.

So thats the battle plan to a happier life. I think. Maybe.

This morning I had breakfast with ST at Denny's. We discussed God, existence, molecular structure, our careers, happiness, and the possibility of me being a drama queen. I might be, but I think for me it's more of a healthy pursuit of continual renewal and progress. If life gets stagnant, or if my abilities are not being pushed/challenged, I get irritated and depressed. For me, I'm scared of a lot of things, especially hurting others feelings and or making people uneasy. Taking action in my life takes a lot of energy for me. Small changes that others would find easy, are stressing to me. Large changes in my life that force me to build and grow; make me happy. I need changes which force me to do a continual process of improvement. When the process slows, I do too, until I find myself disliking my life intensely. I need to be in control, doing positive things, that challenge me. A missionary trip to a forien country would be good for me because I could be free and do what I want, and not to mention I could help others at the same time. Bonus! Kenya sounds good. Big changes are good, small changes are hard. I plan and work toward life improvement, and I acquire wisdom everywhere I can...BUT; moving forward in little bits and pieces, eventually wears on me and I just want to leap ahead and do more faster. The song quote “make sense faster longer” is appealing. I'm 23 and seeking a wife, a career, and well...some simple peace along the way. I'm not a drama queen; I don't cause problems, I simply take over precaution and not always get things done. ST inspires me, she knows what she wants, and she's doing incredibly well at it. For her, its just that easy. She makes life look enjoyable. On paper, solid plan, but in reality, what do I do?! What would my first “change” be. I'm in the process (freaking stressful process) of moving to Coursegold, so I know there will be some good little changes involved, but how do I expand that in such a way that FORCES me to keep progressing and moving toward happiness, productivity, and serving the community. Thanks for reading this blog entry...hope it made sense. (CrossPosted to my Zume LiveJournal).

HUGE EDIT: THE LATEST VERSION OF THIS ROBOTICS/SCIENCE/FANTASTY STORY IS HOSTED ON MY DEVIANTART PAGE: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55718577/

Author's Note: This story is very similar to my others; involving worlds, portals, robots, and volcanic caverns. So far all I have is the character biographies, they contain bold clues to the plot. I shall submit updates, and more of my stories upon request. In time, my website www.eh3.us will be a collection of my writings. All I create is so far FREE, as money is a thing of the past. Story to be updated regularly but no publish date is set. This story ties in closely with others I've written and also not published. I've yet to publish anything, but perhaps I'll take on that chore in coming months. Contact me at this email address, but no solicitations: zumiez at GMAILdotCOM

Character Biographies. These bio's are intertwined, so read them at your own pace.

Mioh: A brilliant woman of science, age 30. Lives in poverty, in a dark maze-like cavern lit by glowing coral reef and shards of computer screens. She's the world's leading robotics and programming scientist. She holds access to unlimited funds via her international research partners, but doesn't use any money on herself. Her legs don't work, yet she explores the world via virtual reality. Mioh has a twin, a robot in fact, that she remote controls. When she's busy she puts the robot in Auto-Chat-Bot mode and thus her friends know its not her. Her Virtual Reality gear is a large metal sphere sitting in a wading pool so it can roll and move. Visual screens coat the inside of this sphere, giving Mioh a view of what her robot sees. Her friends simply see a robot that looks just like her, and moves just as she does. Friends know its just a robot, but strangers think the robot is a real person. If Mioh's legs were functional, she still would not leave the cave much due to she needs her high-power computer screens to help the FBI solve crime. The FBI usually cant make sense of her complex information, but they try. On a rare free day, she leaves the cave, traveling to the surface five miles up. She wears bulky robotic leg armor over her real legs, and has considered cutting off her real legs to free up room for the robotic legs. The robotic legs are bulky because they contain some computer equipment that helps her stay wired to the Internet and the FBI/CIA/Interpol. They also allow her to run quite fast, yet short battery life unless she uses nuclear power, which the government frowns on. She uses math formulas to solve mysteries for the FBI, and to create complex charts and graphs of society, inventing new kinds of building materials and cultural standards. Google (TM) and Intel (TM) have used many of her inventions and failed to use even more. Her day is quite busy, and people often visit her to use her mechanical inventions. She's not lonely, yet wishes she could leave the cave and explore the world in person. Yes, when she finishes her robotic legs, some day. The issue being her legs need to have fast enough computers and mechanics inside them to connect her at a good enough pace to the Internet. Mioh has a friend named Fure, who's underground city connects to her cavern. Fure's town consists of volcanic tunnels on hydraulic arms, dis-connecting and re-connecting caverns in a rotating way in which only residents know the cycle and thus can navigate the city with ease. Foreigners get lost and exposed to volcanic fumes. These hydraulic arms are decaying and will collapse unless Mioh spends a ridiculous amount of time redesigning them. If the arms collapse, the civilization falls into a rather hot chasm. Some say this is a well deserved fate, but Mioh has a big heart. Mioh must balance her want of not spending money, and ensuring the survival of Fure's cavern culture. Mioh speaks quite fast, that humans ears find annoying, so she slows down to talk to people, and her voice is uneven in pace.

Jova: An extremely wise man of the jungle, age 37. Jova is similar to Mioh in heart, except Jova knows nothing of mathematics and or robotics. He grew up in the wilderness and knows how modern society works yet prefers nature. The similarity lies in his ability to see many places at once, but not using computer screens. Jova travels to many universes through a series of finely carved wooden doors that follow and surround him at all times. He doesn't know what they are or why they follow him, but he is very wise and uses them to help various cultures solve problems. His doors are a viewing screen of sorts, but they randomly connect to universes and only some show up twice, as others sometimes show many times a week. He spends most his days in a tropical rain forest, overlooking valleys and rivers. He thinks of himself as an ancient tree, viewing over the lands within the portal doors. His mind ablaze with knowledge. Sometimes he sees into the future and past. His door portals often display Mioh's caverns, which he has explored from time to time. He knows of Fure's culture but cannot seem to find it. A few times Jova met Mioh and brought her to see other universes. She scares him, as her thoughts are rapid and full of complex ideas. He often avoids her, but has a strong crush on her. Mioh sometimes notices a portal door appear in her winding caverns and so she walks through to tease Jova about all the crime solving he's missing out on. He appears very old like a tree, until he steps through his portals where his relatively young age is revealed. He is but one overseer in a long line, and in his universe he appears to have the combined age of them all. He can usually block people from coming through his doors, but only if he's aware they did. He has accidentally dropped creatures from one universe into another and caused excitement in the cultures science. People he trusts can usually walk through his doors without him noticing. In his universe he is quite meditative and reflective, until he visits you, and you see he is just a man avoiding complexities of the modern world. Jova has endless stories of running along alien riverbeds and dancing in tropical worlds where time stands still. Jova internally feels that he is not worthy of his wisdom. Jova once said “The wisdom of my lips, is not me, it is the air of a thousand worlds coming up out of my lungs.”

Vout: A playful nuisance, age 23. Vout has the mentality of a ten year old, and a very low IQ for his age of 23. He somewhat has trouble accessing his memory. Vout usually saves the day. He's quite athletic, kind hearted, and everyone loves him. His ideas are usually correct, although near-impossible, and heavily doubted by others due to their lack of motivation. Vout knows the abilities of others, their resources, and he pushes their limits (and patience) too far. He's often left behind but finds someone to tag along with at the last moment. Vout was found by Jova in a war-torn world of barbarians and pirates. Vout still lives in that world, but Jova has helped him to establish a safe place to live. Vout sometimes lives with Mioh and makes her laugh, but also interferes with her work. Vout's culture legend states that a man came out of a door-shaped portal and caused havoc and chaos. Vout has created the worlds longest nonsense poem, books of silly insanity that make people laugh for hours. For a sample of this poem, see this link: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11827848/?qo=77&q=by%3Azume&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps

Gove: A political giant, age 70. Gove is the president of a beautiful country in one of Jova's portal doors. Gove's country is highly advanced in clockwork and industrial machines, but does not have computers. In most spots not even electricity. Gove often begs Jova to bring in Mioh to introduce computers. This would be a large culture shock. Mioh thinks computers will destroy their lovely clockwork society. Gove's clockwork has helped Mioh solve mathematical problems on countless occasions. Gove wants military control over far too much territory and often gets into political battles he finds morally stressing. Dana offers little to no help to Gove anymore. Jova often comes to the rescue via trade opportunities that Gove deems unpolitical and avoidant of the issues. Gove loves attention and power, overlooking the paperwork. Mioh once told Gove, “once you have electricity, you'll realize you never needed it”.

Fure: Borg-like tech-trader, age 27. Fure is a citizen of a cavern society whose volcanic tunnels connect to Mioh's cavern. Fure's people are borg-like in that they steal technology and dump it into their one databank. They are very logical yet demanding. Neither good nor bad. Their technology and mentality is very alien to Mioh, and she doesn't get much use of it other than computer processing horsepower. Fure is more of an artist than a borg, and not bent on stealing. Fure identifies in Mioh because they both wish to help others and freely gives out any information and or ideas they have. Fure's people on the other hand are stingy with giving information to outside cultures, and wish to dominate other lands. Fure's culture has developed a crystal computer that runs at the speed of light. Mioh has a very hard time using this, as its code runs counterintuitive to her programming style. Fure wishes to assimilate Mioh into his culture to help her use the crystal computers, but Mioh prises her individuality over that of productivity. Fure's society is dangerous and must not control the surface world. As described in Mioh's profile, she must redesign the hydraulic arms that Fure's city sits upon, before they plummit to their deserved volcanic fate.

Dana: A down to earth Christian non-denominational Preacher, age 32. Dana is pretty much everyone's mentor in faith related issues. Her number one challenge is not getting involved in others problems. She finds it hard to contemplate all the trouble the characters of this story get into. She has a small church in a small town, and minds her own business. She's quite content as long as the other characters aren't trying to abduct her into other universes and wars. She mothers Vout and encourages him to spread peace in his war-torn world. Dana prefers humility and meditation as opposed to the never ending quest for intelligence. Dana is deeply intrigued by Jova, but is discouraged by the chaos around him. Dana feels Mioh has far too much control over the lives of others. Mioh has forced access to unlimited worldly riches upon Dana.

Mioh's GlobeHiker Team : The team of hikers and part-time secret agents; that tour the world with Mioh's robot. They are Mioh's eyes and ears to the outside world. They protect Mioh's robot as their own, knowing a lapse in its instructions and assistance could leave them vulnerable. The robot is connected to nearly every satellite and also cell phone tower in the world. A fast connection, but not a lot of processor speed. If caught the robot must self destruct, leaving no evidence it was there.

Mioh's Computer: A pile of man-made diamonds with images flashing back and fourth at light speed. Mioh once said, “The point is not to understand the computer, but know how it reacts, as its simply a tool for greater things.” Mioh's computers show information differently than popular operating systems like Windows and OSX. Mioh's machines use layers of microscopic text fitted together to create one large scrolling photo of the Internet, similar to a flow chart, but zoomed out so much that it appears to be tv noise sitting on shattered shards of glass, each shard being its own set of databases and chat-bot formulas. The OS itself is a set of mathematical algorithms comparing databases found on all the earths computers. A super search, much more intelligent and fast than Google. Mioh zooms in and out of this somewhat-live photo of the Internet, shifting graphical layers around to reveal connections between information. The computers she uses run at a very high number, yet still can only render limited amounts of information at one time, and thus use shortcuts such as photos of texts that are only interactive and searchable if they are called upon. Mioh also makes use of the processing power of other computers around the planet who are willing to share. This still makes Internet-wide searching rather slow, as the available layers of information have to be gradually loaded/unloaded and compared to other information. The Internet is infinite in scale and contains live scans of space, the oceans, the Earth and its residents. If you keep zooming into the sets of information, more reveals itself by ideas created via context clues and thus more connections are found and ideas found (note the pattern) and recorded on an ever-growing master map which is what you see when you fully zoom out. This master map contains millions of terabytes of information, and is stored within the diamonds, continually being edited and shifted around. A lapse in light would erase every bit of data, so Mioh is working on a way to permanently scratch/etch/carve backups of the data into cubes of glass. The glass must be quite dense to fit all the microscopic information, thus making Mioh wonder how small information can get. She knows its endless, but her time is not. She's also working on ways to “Compress” the information, meaning formulas that take a large amount of data and rearrange it into a small amount of data. Compression especially in a form that leaves itself open to being edited. All this information management makes Mioh quite busy, so her friends cultures contribute in various ways. If Mioh were to die, the data would still collect, but it would require over seers to navigate upgrades and monitor progress. Some spies and secret agents plan just that, to remove Mioh and alter the data. In some reguards, Mioh's personality is the only one fit to handle the data.

OK.

SO WHY.

CANT "THEY".

MAKE AN ANIME.

USING THE 'UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3' VIDEO GAME ENGINE?!

THE ENGINE RENDERS REALLY WONDERFUL 3D SCENES IN REAL TIME.

they didnt say they cant, but i figure if they havent already then they need to. especially since they can use the ps3 to do it.

BASE IT OFF UT2007 (AKA UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3) USING THE SAME CHARACTERS AND SCENES.

SOOOO SIMPLE.

SOOOO EASY.

DO IT.

DO IT NOW.

forget pixar and disney, render it live. use real actors with those little sensors so the 3d characters move in synch with the human. the only work will be remixing a bunch of anime stories into a new anime; and making lots of 3d scenes to place the story in.

AND LET THE FANS DO THE WORK SO IT TURNS OUT AWESOME AND NOT DRAMATIC SOAP-OPERA PUKE.

Thank you. Those are my two cents.

Introduction to my How-To Lessons.

In short, my website uses quality (opposed to quantity) tutorials to inform and encourage a level-headed, healthy and spiritually-alive lifestyle. Using basic lists, simplified diagrams, and simple English, you will acquire a well rounded view of progress and fulfillment. Hopefully the well educated, as well as beginning students, will come to a happy medium and communicate their own productivity results to the world. I'm going to explain (in a rather fragmented way) many kinds of life-improvement plans. Forgive the unpolished current state of my website, it's an ever-growing reflection of my own mentality.

There are channels (kinds) of every medium, including cultural influences. Ever experienced a culture shock? The mentality of the world at large, cant be placed in just one file folder. All humans grow and learn differently as they spread out into the universe. The negative flow (stream/river) of the world is one channel to avoid, partly consisting of an illness to want to destroy good things in a mistaken attempt to be free of the bad things. Think about that. Setting rules, guidelines, and boundaries in your life can set you on a course of improvement rather than decay. Teaching to fish rather than giving out guns, if you will. Staying still (doing nothing) is one method of life, but blood doesn't flow well that way, it slows down and stops. Moving in a positive and constructive path, along a nice straight road, sounds good to me. Existence is infinite (never ending), humanity is therefore infinitively small (and or large!), so you may ask "why conform to someone else's rules?!" You don't have to do anything, you can sit in the mud your whole life if that brings a smile to your face. The reason for conforming to rules; is compatibility, consistency, historically beautified culture, and letting the system (way of doing things) work to your advantage. A set system means it works thus you don't have to invent it. Stand on the shoulder of giants. Sure, some expectations and laws are nonsense and are usually not enforced. Some you just have to deal with (like taxes) until a better system is widely used. Life is beautiful, how you perceive it and filter it within your mind; is something entirely different. You may march to the tune of a different drummer, that is natural. Being deviant, being different, and thinking outside of the box; is fantastic as long as you don't infringe (invade) someone else's happiness. No matter your age, it's the prime time of you life if you set your mind that way. What ripples joy and smiles do you send out. The pursuit of happiness doesn't come by stealing it from someone else; it comes by building it. A community working smarter, rather than an individual straining them self, is a perk if you have the know-how. Getting that extra set of knowledge and tools, is about asking questions. Learning, growing, in a manor that is healthy and can be spread out to involve others. Sift (comb through) the vast wealth of wisdom out there and apply it to your life. As a song by the group Daft Punk says, "Work It Harder Make It Better Do It Faster, Makes Us stronger". One of my favorite techno-groovy songs. Listen in on the wildly popular Google-owned (woohoo!) website YouTube.

One aspect I like about my website, is the continual renewal of information. Replacing long-winded sayings with short examples. The above paragraph is a bit of a pep-talk, but doesn't necessarily teach anything if you aren't tuned in (focused and or entertained).

My website www.eh3.us is a growing archive of life-improvement how-to's (Tutorials.) Every so often, the site undergoes a massive overhaul (huge update) with new how-to's. Meaning; simple ways to live life better, applied to various levels of practical and philosophical views (schools of thought). Eventually my website will be a classroom of sorts, perhaps an interactive club, that you WANT to attend rather than HAVE to. A school you don't hate. Something where no information will goto waste, and wisdom will multiply. Knowledge is important, it's power in some regards, but wisdom (and common sense) is the real value. For example, lets take apart popular sayings and examine how they would help someone. Then throw out the unnecessary parts and start from scratch (fresh), yet still monitoring well-rounded learning based on working guidelines. No need to reinvent “the wheel”, unless a gear would work faster. Speed and quality, with relaxation and complete enjoyment, makes for a good learning environment. Inspire rather than force, is a lesson that spiritually teaches.

Well that is enough chatter from me for now. Three large inspirations for this ongoing article, have been: God; The Bible (The Message, to be specific); My dear friend Saint Mike T (he called me a prophet!); and well there are others but I would rather post this before I get too distracted.

Thanks for reading,
