Blog 12

Picture from flickr.com

This class introduce me to learn how to use a blog to write and it was a good experience for me because I never had a blog before. Normally, I don’t like to share my thoughts to anybody that I don't know. I wish I have time to decorate my blog a little bit more so it looks attractive. I enjoy researching the pictures for my blog, but I need to get into the habit of crediting where I get my pictures from. The point of blogging is to see other student thoughts and ideas. Writing blog is a creative writing assignment for our class. It is fun looking and reading other students blogs. Blogging helps get to know your classmate better. Blogging is a good way to interact with my classmate. Making comments of other students blogs gives us the feedback what they think. Instead of ten minutes of making comments of other students’ blog, I think we need twenty-five minutes to make a good concrete comment.

It wasn’t hard working with the Blogger and I don’t feel any frustration with the technology. I'm glad the first day of class we went over on how to sign up and use the blog.

Two hundred fifty words is enough to give a little taste of other students ideas. I everthing in life have a deadline, so making a deadline wasn’t hard at all. Beside, LIB200 is a writing intensive class, so I can't complain about it.

I might keep blogging if all my friends get into the habit of using blogs, but than again, they will argue what’s wrong using Facebook or email. It depends the majority of the people who I hang out with would like to use blogs.

One blog assignment that actually like was searching online to look for other people’s blog. Some people’s blog are very creative and I’m sure they spend a lot of time on it. Depending on how much the readers is interest in a particular subject, the readers will leave comments. That is the main goal of blogs. The best blogger is to post up pictures and video to support our thoughts. When I was searching for a blog, people use their blog as a diary or a journal to express their feelings. Their blogs can be very personal, but in anonymous so that they won't feel too unconfrontable.

Out of all the Blogs, I like Blog 7 which is the Field Trip to American Museum of National History. That assignment, I was really into it. It was a good experience to witness the differents halls of events.

Blog 11 More stuffs continue....

USB-Powered Air Freshener

My computer is very limited to USB Ports, but using up another port for USB freshener is not worth it. Air fresheners comes in all types of form such as gels, spray cans, candles, and now USB. I'm very skeptical of what chemicals that they use to make this smell fresh. After the freshener is use up, it goes right in to the trash can.


USB Eye Massager

The eye massager is pointless to have. How it works is, you just plug this in your computer and the two finger start to vibrate. By looking at it, I guess you get to calm your aching eyes. Another one time use and once people gets bore with it, it becomes another trash that cumulate in your basement.

Hair in a Can

This Hair in Can does not cure men baldness. The problem is still there. Is just a cover up on the bald spots. Before you sleep, I guess you need to wash all the ink or paint out of your head. I don't understand whats the point of getting it. Some men eventually lose their hair when they get old, but spraying paint in your head just attract more attention.

Blog 10 Things that we can't live without!!!!

Flimsy products are everywhere. Majority of the products that we buy are made in China. Back thirty years ago, a lot of electronic and other products are made to last forever. My mother still has the Panasonic rice cooker and the Panasonic fan that she bought in early 1980 and she still using it up to this day. Even though the surface look kind of dirty and yellowish, but it still work. The Panasonic fan doesn't feel cool but is still turning very fast. I notice a lot of products back then are made out of metal, if not usually high quality plastic. Back in the days, most of the electronic are made in Japan. Now, products that made today are totally trash. Three products that I found that is unnecessary pieces of crap and definitely will ended up straight to the trash can when the same day you brought it.



I rank this number one the worst of all:

Fuzzy Toilet Seat Cover



Picture from huffingtonpost.com

The Fuzzy Toilet Seat Cover is the most awful product you can get for your toilet. I don't want a furry toilet seat cover on my toilet seat. Is disgusting!!! It does not serve a purpose other than the looks of it. I will not wash the toilet seat cover with my clothes together in the washing machine. Imagine you sitting on the toilet seat cover doing your business while your body is sweating and the seat cover is absorb your sweat. All the sweat and other foreign liquid are collected and will create an unwanted odor on the seat cover. That is bad hygiene.

I rank this the second worst:

Mechanized Egg Cracker


Picture from huffingtonpost.com


The Mechanized Egg Cracker is the most useless product that you will every buy for your kitchen. It adds more junk in your kitchen. It is not convenience and you need to wash the egg cracker every time you use it. In general, machine are design to mass produce products quicker and efficient, if not, it make our life easier. What's wrong with cracking the egg on the side of a bowl? I understand people do get lazy, but I can't believe we need a machine to crack our eggs.



I rank this the third useless toy:

Battery Powered Spinning Bottle

Picture from huffingtonpost.com

The Battery Powered Spinning Bottle is just clueless to me. What happen to spin the bottle manually and it doesn't cost any money, except the bottle. A lot of toys are so ridicules and so easy to get just by asking or nagging their parents and kids doesn't even appreciate it. Once the kids get tired of it, that toy will end up in the trash can. Not to mention the batteries comes along with that toy. Throwing the toy with the batteries in it creates more garbage in our environment not to mention the hazardous chemicals in the batteries will contaminate the environment. Kids these days are having it so much easier than their parents’ generation.
