A new ultraviolet LED light bulb is being made that is strong enough to kill bacteria cells. It is harmless to humans so it is safe to put in houses or populated areas.



Google Reader

I think Google Reader is a useful addition to the Google lifestyle because it helps me out in my computers 2 class, the class I do the most research on. It helps me organize and reduce the amounts of websites I point and click on to. I know I would use it for the weekly Tech Articles. It also would be easier to share your favorite websites amongst peers I associate with.

Reflection of Class Article

This article is about people sending threats and misleading messages via internet on the computer. I think arrogant people out there use the internet as a mask to hide behind to say stuff to people directly to them but through messages and not to their face about topics or pictures. Personally, I respect people if they have an opinion, to voice it. When I see people that say harmful online and avoid it in person, or say really mean things online and cause drama to others along with them, I just look down on them and avoid them just like they would on their own comments.

Tech Article 10/15

The new XM-25 Computerized Grenade Launcher is being shipped off to Afghanistan to troops in combat. The XM-25 is a grenade launcher that has up to date technology that can "laser-designate" a target. As said in the video, the XM-25 Grenade Launcher is made to go through glass windows explode in side the actual room, instead of shooting rounds of automatics, waiting for the person shooting to go in-front of the window, or just shooting the grenade launcher and exploding on impact against the window.

This past weekend

My Weekend

This past weekend I was in the a lot of the football game against arch-rivals, Hasbrouck Heights.  I played on kick-off, kick return, punt, and punt return. It was a good, physically tough game. We had a lot of good plays, but clearly they had more. Both teams put in a lot of effort. We just couldn't get the ball into the end-zone enough times, and couldn't keep them out of the end-zone.
