California Artist mixes Sci-fi with U.S Government

San Francisco artist Jason Heuser has created some interesting pictures combining some of the United States's greatest presidents with my favorite genre; Science fiction. You can visit his deviantART page @ www.sharpwriter.deviantart.com 
He has recently gained a lot of attention. 13 of his art entries have been featured on FOX News. Here are a few of those entries..
Richard M. Nixon Fighting a Saber Tooth Tiger
This one is very interesting. For one thing, this makes the whole deal with Nixon Lying seem to be no big deal, he battled a saber tooth tiger for goodness sake! How many presidents get to say that? Obviously, this is just an illustration, but I think it gives "bravery" a whole new meaning. So, Richard Nixon. I love how the artist can make the character really cool and awesome, while keeping the characteristics in the character.

Zeus vs. Benjamin Franklin
I've seen this one before. I guess now we Know the real story behind Ben Franklin's invention of electricity. I mean really? Tying a key to a kite and somehow he experiences that 1 in a billion chance of lightning striking a key? This is way more realistic.
:)

This one is very cool. It combines the world of Tron, with the 18th century. Even though the first Tron looked like it was maid in the 18th century. Here we see Paul Revere riding a lightcycle. This is probably a lot faster than the horse that he rode. Also, I love that the destination is Lexington, (obviously, but that its stated right on the grid. If you look in the top left, it says that his patriotism levels are really high.


Talk about creativity. Anyway, check out SharpWriter's webpage, he has so many other really good pieces of art.

See you guys soon!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Watch-With-Me session Tonight at 8pm ET

As you may know, Marvel's new TV series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiers tonight. I decided to do something special for the first modern live action Marvel TV series. I'm launching a  new page, which will be under the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. WWM" tab. It's the same URL, so its not a completely different blog. Pretty much what I'm going to be doing is recording down some of my thought, ideas, and recent happenings on the show live right on that tab. Feel free to watch the show, and follow along with my ideas on this blog. If you have a delay, and can't follow my thoughts, its always fun to look back and see questions that have already been answered, and see what I was feeling at that specific moment in time. The show is going to be epic, which means I won't actually be posting during the actual show, I will, however be posting my questions during the commercials. If the answer to a question is revealed, than I will post during the show. I would also post during the show if Something really amazing happened or something epic that can't wait to be talked about. Spoilers will be revealed, so don't read this as a backup to the show if you can't watch it. I guess that pretty much wraps up what I have to say. Lets enjoy the new show together.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Premieres tonight (Tuesday, September 24th) at 8/7c and ends at 9/8c. I would highly recommend kids secretly watching it from a mobile device if they have to go to bed. Who needs school? This is going to be awesome!


Also, If you want to comment with your ideas, feel free, but there is absolutely no obligation to do so. I know when your watching TV you really don't want to stop what your doing do right out your whole thought. I would not be surprised or sad if there aren't any comments. That just means you are too amused in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Which makes me happy. :)

Review: Logitech m325 Wireless Mouse


For a long time I've has a mouse with a wire sticking out the front, it wasn't very good for gaming, it squeaked, and it overall wasn't a very good mouse, or at least not anymore. I decided that I was sick of it, especially after playing Minecraft with it for eight months. I just recently got a hold on a really nice one from OfficeMax. I wanted a really high quality mouse, and i didn't really find the right mouse at Walmart or anywhere. I know a lot about technology but I don't know the exact name of every mouse brand out there. That would be weird, but I found a really nice one with great sensitivity and reception, a Logitech m325. It is really easy to install, all you need is a USB plug and your pretty much good to go. I remember seeing one somewhere that has a whole separate reception box or something that would be a waste of time hooking up.
This mouse comes with, well, the mouse, and the USB unifying receiver. As you can see, the receiver is barely visible. This is especially nice with a laptop. However, the mouse is also smaller so may take time to get use to, trackball mouses in particular.
The many functions of this mouse make it more user-friendly. It is also really nice to use when browsing the Internet. On most older mouses, the scroll bar was used to scroll up and down a page in multiple ways. Now, you can go forward or back a page by tilting the scroll bar from left to right. However, this does not decrease the time it takes to load the previous or next page. In case you didn't know, that all relies on your internet speed. The Logitech m325 makes a great gaming mouse. Playing minecraft with this thing is great. scrolling through items in your utility bar is now way faster, THis mouse will automatically set your sensitivity about 30% percent higher, I have no idea why. And also, Idon't know if this is just a me thing, but my mouse booted up my framerate by about 15 frames, so if that's all mouses, than, well, that's a plus.

I think I've just about covered everything I need to about this product. These are all of my thoughts, I'm not leaving anything out. This mouse is easily a 9.5/10

A Screenshot Tour of MY Minecraft Survival World

You've been living in the shadows for so long. Finally, you get a tour of my minecraft house. Let's go!



This is a top view of my Minecraft house. I live in a desert temple, in the middle of three biomes! It took me about 6 months to completely update and modernize the desert temple to feel like home.


Here's the front view. It's awesome. I have a mob watchtower, a basement (unseen), and enough room for my horses to walk around inside.

lol. I have a Nether Portal. And in my free time I search for a stronghold. My house isn't the only impressive part of my world. As you can see below. I created a unique piston garden. unlike Sethbling or Antvenom. I created pressure plates that I walk across, and pistons push the fruit out into water and hoppers on either sides. It's fully functional and is a great way to get food. especially during a long night of hunting. The hardest part is coacoa beans. but they take 3 minutes at max.

It's a lot of fun. And when I get a lot of bonemeal. I can get stacks of crops in minutes.

This was my old house. It was nice and all, but it didn't meet all my needs and expecrations that were required for my house.Don't worry, I play survival legit. This was when I took screenshots in creative to get better angles. This was before I knew about F1. I moved a total of 890876 blocks according to my F3 menu. I did some legit math.I took my ender chest and my diamonds and went out for a fresh start. I blew up this house before I left. for sentimental reasons. I didn't want to be tempted to find my way back. I survived. and so did my 10 cats and 1 wolf. That water thing in the front was a mob trap. I have a much more efficiant one now. Oh, and I actually has 34791 levels of xp. I tried to beat the survival record until i died without keepinventory on. I usually doon't play with keepinventory on. Like I said, I play legit.


I think taht pretty much wraps up my survival world. I'm pretty much living in flightless creative now. I have maybe 10 stacks of each resource. except diamond... I'm working on that
