High Dynamic Range...

So, I came across a program that can compile pictures called HDR, which stands for "High Dynamic Range." These pictures have detail in the light areas as well as in the dark ones. This is accomplished by using different exposure settings on the camera, and taking about five to seven pictures of the same scene with these different shutter speeds. Then the images are compiled together to blend all the detail from these different areas, light and dark, alike. The result is a surreal-looking picture, that has detail all around, and no parts are washed out.

Dreaded Guest

Well, it has happened. Today, I came home from the college, to find, to my ultimate dismay, some unknown luggage in my room: Needless to say, I am not pleased. I mean, I have to split apart my king-sized bed. Not to mention, I have to clean up my room!
Okay, that's not really the problem. But I do like my space. Hopefully this guy is cool. But he's short, so I don't expect much.
I'm kidding again, folks. More to come as I get to know this guy.

"Any way you want it, that's the way you need it..."

I don't know exactly what the point is of blogging this, but I'll do it anyway. I'm just listening to Journey, thinking of the next musical artist to sample, and contemplating BUYING some more blankets and such for my bed. Also, a job would be nice. But first I need my car up here. I would prefer an off-campus job to an on-campus one, for the sake of experience. And something in an original field would be cool. I love new experiences. And, surprisingly, I am better with people than one might think, especially my parents. For one reason or another, I have a hard time showing them some of the impressive sides of myself; I fear that they won't appreciate them enough. So, I build them up by acting less qualified than I am, so when I DO show the side of them that everyone knows, they are more impressed. Do many other people do that?


I saw an add-on for a poll program, so I think I'll try to set that one up.

October the Sixth.

Well, there's not much to say, but I guess that's what blogging is, in essence. It's what one writes when one has nothing else to say.
I read through another article by Ron Paul, which reaffirmed that the monetary system in this country is spinning in a downward spiral. The closest thing I could analogize is the water in a toilet bowl.
I am an avid reader of economics and political books by Ron Paul, Murray N. Rothbard, and Ludwig von Mises. The latter is the founder of the Mises Institute of Economics, where free economics principles (named "Austrian Economics") are taught.
Another thing I recently discovered is a video/documentary film about the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Now, this video has a few "conspiracy theory" themes to it, and, in my opinion, jumped to some exorbitant conclusions.
However, I do consider myself well-versed in practical physics, and some of the evidence and video clips shown in the documentary cause me to very much doubt the story the mainstream news would have us eat up.
I haven't had much trust in the mainstream news for a while, and part of it is from the talk shows of Rush Limbaugh that got me started. Even as I listen to Rush, though, I realize that his opinions are almost poisoned to excess by being a conservative. I tend to get most of my news stories from LewRockwell.com now.
Enough of me, though. I am always interested in the opinions of my readers, so I invite you to share with me/everyone else who visits here, what YOU personally believe happened on September 11th, 2001. Just post a comment, and speak your mind. I want to hear from you!

Grand Opening of Theater 47

Theater 47 is the new name of the apartment wherein I live, in Logan, Utah. It is so named because of the large LCD screen present in the apartment, as well as the 4-speaker stereo system connected to the TV. The new PhotoShopped picture is complete, as shown above.
