Directory:John Kanzius Produces Hydrogen from Salt Water Using Radio Waves - PESWiki
Woah! A scientist who was trying to use a radio wave generator that is used to burn cancer cells to desalinate water found out how to use the two of the most abundant resources on our planet as an alternative fuel! The site doesn't disclose details about how it works, but it's still pretty interesting. Now I'm just going to wait until somebody buys the rights then invest everything I own into that company.

U.S. Allocates $354 Million to Reduce New York Traffic - New York Times
U.S. Allocates $354 Million to Reduce New York Traffic - New York Times
Here's some interesting news, by summer next year you might be charged to drive through the busiest parts of New York. I'm sure their public transportation system will only get better if that's the case. So does that mean that we have to wait until our traffic in the Bay Area gets completely unbearable for them to complete BART?

Barry Bonds' HR Record Tainted by Elbow 'Armor'?
Barry Bonds' HR Record Tainted by Elbow 'Armor'?
For all of you out there who don't believe that Barry Bonds didn't do steroids, and that he's and honest man like he says that he is, check out this article and then tell me he's not a cheat of some sort. I guess you can argue that he's pioneer for developing a new form of elbow armor to help his swing, and if you're the first to do it, then it doesn't count as being illegal. Either way, we can now deduct that Barry does anything to get ahead, further defining baseball as America's Sport...

ABC News: Obama-Clinton Race Goes Nuclear
ABC News: Obama-Clinton Race Goes Nuclear
Here goes my first political post - This article is just another reason why I'm starting to like Obama over Hillary, and reasons like this come each and every day. Hillary is a politician, Obama is a person. I feel that war does one thing, kills people. So when he says that he isn't going to use nuclear weapons, isn't that a good thing? Aren't we in save the planet mode? Just yesterday Obama said that he would be willing to speak in person to leaders of enemy countries - AWESOME! Bush just sends his little minions to get nothing done for him, man he is so good at not doing anything. Anyway, in that same debate Hillary said she wouldn't promise to visit leaders of other nations, WTF! If you were the leader of our country you wouldn't talk to other leaders? Whats the freakin' point. I think Bush already proves that method doesn't work....go Obama.

My first post
SOooooo, here it is, my first blog posting...I think I've had this account open for about a year now, and every time I log on I always shy away from writing anything, I know probably no one will read it, well maybe thats not true. Maybe I'm shy because I know I'll write something, and it will be semi-personal (thats opening up way too much for me) and I'll tell all my friends to check out my blog. So the only people that will read my blog will be the people that I don't want to read it becauese I'm afraid of what they think. Bleh. I need to get over myself. I'm doing this because I've never been very good at being in touch with myself (no-homo) and I think typing stuff out will help me organize my thoughts and make me a better individual. "Self improvement is masturbation" - yes it is, and this is feeling pretty good actually. I've just started working out too, and that feels great as well. Look at me ma! I'm growing up! Anyway, this is starting to go no where so let me pick the ball back up, and tell all you strangers that are here a little about me.
I'm a 22 yr old graduate from Cal Poly, SLO, majored in mechanical engineering, and the last two years of college I said everyday, I don't want to be an engineer, this sucks, all you do is Auto CAD and engineer bolts and beams and boring shit. My new interest was in the web/tech industry, I think it stems from growing up in the bay area, I grew up in San Mateo, CA about 15 mins north of Silicon Valley with the tech boom happening all around me, I loved watching it. I was always interested in computers and I was naturally innovative. I just thought of a funny little story about me being naturally innovative that I just thought of that I'd like to share. When I was in grade school I was in GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) and one of the subjects was inventors, so the project was to invent something, anything at all. I racked my brain for days and days, and I couldn't come up with anything because everything I thought of has already been done, I'd look at my friends projects and criticize them for slightly changing existing things and calling them inventions. When it was my turn to present, I was super shy because I didn't have anything. Then the teacher asks me about my pencil, and what's attached to it. I had my favorite mechanical pencil, and where the worn down eraser was, I stuck in one end of a unraveled paper clip, and on the other end of the paper clip was my magic rub eraser, so I didn't have to worry about losing it. Low and behold the entire time I was trying to think of an invention, it was already in my hand on my pencil. Thats my proof of me being a natural innovator. So anyway, that was much longer than expected, I'm an innovative individual who didn't want to graduate and be a boring ass engineer, so I pursued an idea that me and my girlfriend came up with for a web 2.0 start up, called KnowWhereFast.com. We both graduated in 4-1/4 from Cal Poly, leaving us with 2 quarters left (5 years is pretty normal for Cal Poly), and instead of going into the work world, we already had the .com in the works, we decided to pursue it for the last 2 quarters, leaving us 'till June to come out with a successful website. Well lets just say the website lived up to its name....it went know where fast. But in the end, that's not what mattered (although it did to my parents because I spend a shitload of their money) But I spend about the same amount as if I were to have gone to college those two quarters, but that failure ended up teaching me more than I ever learned in my 16 years of education. Because of all that, I delayed getting a job, and I work at an HVAC company doing exactly what I didn't want to do, I sit in a cubicle and design HVAC systems on AutoCAD all day. It sucks, its not innovative, cutting edge, fast pace, or anything that I wanted to do at all. Only good thing about it is that I live in Silicon Valley, so at least I'm in the area. I'm just kicking it here for now, getting out of debt whilst exploring options, applying for jobs and networking. Nowadays it's not about what you know, but who you know, so I'm going to get out into the world, meet everybody I can and find my way into the heart of Silicon Valley one way or another. Whether its in the green energy industry, the tech industry, or bio-tech (those are my 3 main interests, I'm pretty much open to anything without a known solution). So thats where I'm at now, there will be many more posts to come, so come back soon, I think I just found a new addiction...
