Angry Birds Christmas Lights

While these Christmas lights may not actually show Angry Birds themselves, you get the idea and feeling. This guy actually turned his house into a show with the Angry Birds theme song. Take a look!

This definitely gets me in the Christmas spirit!

In the past, I haven’t really cared for school online and have thought it to be of a lesser quality for one reason or the other.

Twitter Followers

Today I had two significant followers “follow” me on Twitter. They aren’t a huge deal or anything, just figured they were enough to elaborate on.

EmailMarketingPro @EmailMarketPro is now following you (@Alakai_LLC).

Email Marketing Pro is email marketing software made specifically for small businesses. The service is free and has quite a few features, including auto-subscribe/unsubscribe, newsletters, managing contacts, and even summary reports.

Quality Pawn Shop @MankatoPawnShop is now following you (@Alakai_LLC).

Quality Pawn is a pawn shop from Mankato, MN, my hometown. It gets a lot of heat from possessing and pawning off items that are questionable in their authenticity. Claims have been made that quite a few of the items they have are stolen, but that comes with nearly any pawn shop. In the end, they seem to be successful and have a wide variety of merchandise if you’re interested. What could be considered “sketchy” is met with super nice and knowledgeable staff.

Bashir’s Genocide

Well, I definitely followed the happenings of Darfur, which seemed to replicate Rwanda, especially in the sense that the United States basically sat back and played the denial game, not helping at all. Instead of Darfur, Bashir is now starting yet another genocide in Sudan. Are we going to watch him do it a second time? This e-mail really is kind of important.

Dear Tyler,

The situation in Sudan is dire and it’s getting worse with every day that passes.

As you read this email, families in South Kordofan are seeking refuge in holes dug into the ground as makeshift bomb shelters, families are being torn apart, children are at risk of losing a limb, or worse, from an unexpected attack — these crimes are happening every day while men, women and children are left to suffer and die — all on the orders of one man.

Sudan’s president, Omar al-Bashir, the same man responsible for the atrocities in Darfur is at it again — slaughtering men, women and children and displacing hundreds of thousands of people in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, Sudan. And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — once a supporter of our efforts to end genocide in Darfur — is actually entertaining the idea of normalizing relations with this genocidal monster.

Sign the postcard to Secretary Clinton now — because with every new signature, our impact will be stronger and louder. We will hand-deliver your postcard, along with thousands of others, to Secretary Clinton and demand that she stand up for the people of Sudan and start applying strong sanctions against Bashir now.

Don't Let Him Get Away with Murder
Bashir is an international criminal wanted for crimes against humanity and genocide. And he must be stopped. Be a voice for the people of Sudan. Sign the postcard to demand justice TODAY.

I can’t stress how important this is — Bashir’s government is attacking civilians now and we must act to stop it.

After you sign your name, we will hand-deliver your postcard to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. Please sign the postcard and join the thousands of others who are demanding justice now.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Tom Andrews,
President
United to End Genocide

Tattoo Talk

Now, what happened is @MankatoTattoo (Cactus Tattoo) followed my business, @Alakai_LLC (Alakai Innovations) on Twitter. Therefore, I followed them back. After that, they sent me this message:

Thanks for following! Please Like our Facebook goo.gl/4A1Gt or just stop in at 307 N Riverfront for professional tattoos & piercings.

This led to the idea of getting a tattoo. They actually have tattoos that have UV-reactive ink that will glow in a blacklight. That’s so sweet! :P

Money for YouTube Videos

So, back when I had a hard drive, I used to regularly post Black Ops clips, and actually still have a few here and there. I’ll post the 4 you can find under my current gamertag after I’m done explaining. Basically, YouTube sent me an e-mail saying they would love it if I would post videos and let them place ads on the side of my channel, earning me money. Now, I’m sure this is sent to more than me, but it’s still an interesting idea.

Here’s the e-mail:

Dear Tyler,

The YouTube Team

Now, here are some clips. In this first clip, it’s a mid-range tomahawk on Firing Range. It actually is a triple-bank shot, as it hits the wall, floor, wall, and then his ankle. It was pretty fun and just a quick throw in there, as the dude had been camping there awhile.

In the second clip, I get two tomahawk kills in a row. The irony comes from the game before, where some got a tomahawk on me (the dude in the tower) and says “get raped.” He then proceeded to tell me I couldn’t hawk. Thus, my hawking. He quickly left the game after this clip. This was on Crisis, a pretty fun map once you learn it.

As for this fun little tomahawk on Nuketown, I have to almost brag and say I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Yep, that’s right. It bounces off the upper deck, off the wall, onto the ground, and then hits the guy. As you can imagine, he was a little hostile after that. He actually called me a “hacker,” though I’m not quite sure why.

And last but not least, this one is my favorite. Sadly, it isn’t even me doing anything. This is just a reason why I’m anxious for Modern Warfare 3. Call of Duty: Black Ops is a badly made game. In this shot, that is my teammate next to me. However, I’m shooting and getting hit markers and challenges even though there is clearly nobody there.

Dog Rescues Another Dog

This is being called the “video of the year,” and it should be. The first dog is struck by a car and is left lying motionless on the highway. The second dog then risks its own life to rescue this dog, literally dragging it across the highway and out of danger. And as the video states at its conclusion, the first dog does in fact live because of the other.

The thing is, I’m already actually in the IT program at the state college here. Therefore, it wouldn’t really do me much good to take classes outside of my 18 credit semesters here.

And even if it were to a technical school instead of just online courses to get a certification, most of the time credits don’t transfer. Therefore, I would be starting from scratch, which is probably what would end up happening with this certification as well. Either way, it looks as if I won’t be attending.

AT&T Spam

It’s a little strange, really. Why would someone that is so powerful and a business that I want to switch to so badly have to spam in order to get customers? That’s right, they wouldn’t. Why would I want a LG Neon II? It looks like a piece of junk.

Honestly, plans fit me better at Verizon Wireless. And so do the phones. The only phone I would even consider at AT&T would be the iPhone. Oh wait, Verizon has that, too. I know that because I have one. And you might say that the iPhone 5 is coming in September, but really that’s just a rumor, so you don’t even know that for sure.

In the end, it’s about preference. Do you want better service (proven, but can depend on area), faster 3G and 4G speeds (proven again), better phones (obvious), but have to pay a little more (depends on the plan)? I know I do.

LG Neon™ II puts you right in
