  • CHANGE YOUR SCREEN NAME! edit

    Alright, I told myself I would not participate in the whole voting thing but this is something I really want to see changed.

    I do not believe that it should matter if we have a subscription, paid or other wise, in order to change our usernames. Why pay for something tat other sites let you do for free? So I am asking you all to go and vote on this because despite not wanting to get involved with the voting thing I HAVE voted before.

    Here is the link: VOTE! 

    I know that there are quite a few of you who would like to have new screen names so go vote!

    ALSO FOR THE SAKE OF GETTING THIS OUT THERE (and because I am low on credits and can't make a plugz) PLEASE REC THIS!

     

    200 VOTES AND COUNTING! LETS KEEP IT GOING FOLKS!

     

    Aww, epic fail! I erased the original message on accident! :(

     

    It has come to my attention that xanga is just wasting my time with this. I have over 400 votes for this and yet it is still in the voting phase. Despite this, other ideas have been emplemented with fewer votes. This actually pisses me off to no end. Either implement or don't, but dn't keep it open either way.

  • Living on an Island

     

    island-picture

    Let's assume for a moment that I was going to buy an island, claim it as it's own country and allow only five people, including myself, to inhabit it. The kicker being that the people who inhabit it must bring to the island some sort of useable skill or profession. (i.e doctor, extensive knowledge or government, etc.)

    What skill would you posses or learn to get on said island? Also, do you think that such a thing could work should the right people with the right skills inhabit said island or would it fail as a country? Is it really plausibe to think that only five people could occupy and run an island as a country?

    Let me know your thoughts.

  • The girl who doesn't age.

    Story 

    Video

    To begin, I suggest watching the video on top of reading the article. It helps you et a better feel of what they are taking about in the article.

    I found this to be a very interesting story due to the fact that if they are able to somehow "break" or sequence this girl's DNA, than we could potentially reverse or even stop the aging process! Even the girls doctors admitt that they have no idea how long she could be alive.

    What is really amazing is that despite all of the ailments that she has had, she has pulled through every single one with very minimal effects. These have often been ailments that very well could have killed a normal person. Granted she does have mental and physical issues, when you compare what she does have to what she could have as a result of the illnesses she has been through, they do not compare. 

    There has been alt of discussion regarding immortality/longer life on xanga lately. I am curious, now that we may have found the key to these, what are your thoughts? If there was some sort of way to never age or slow down your own aging process would you take it? Would the idea that you might have to face potentially life altering, though not life ending, illness deter you from it?

    Despite the illnesses I would potentially have to deal with, I think I would take it. The whole prospect of living longer than what I  would have originally seems very intriguing. Imagine all of the things that you would be able to acomplish that you otherwise wouldn't in a normal life span! I am definetly for it.

    Let me know what you think about the story, immortality/longer life, anything.  I am curious to hear others opinions on this.

    @Alex_Horschack - Hmm, I don't think it was me? I actually added something about it on my last post that if anyone wanted to be left off the list I would. I only had one taker for it but apparently that was because they already read my blog everyday. That was news that floored me! :) I started doin

    I think I remember you asking me once about tags since I kept tagging you in all of my entries. If it really was you that I'm thinking of, I told you that I just did it to get more notice, and I noticed that you started doing it too soon after. I just wanted to let you know that I've started getting

    @RogierFvV - I will admit that I never really learned how to use spreadsheets out side of using them for our timesheets. I don't really need them for design, you know? Couldn't hurt to learn how to use one properly I suppose. There just isn't anything for us designers to do right now, that's why I
