Random Thoughts

There is one thing I hate more then Biased news reporting (when its suppose to be unbiased), is when the news reporting is Biased and passes it off on the people they interviewed. There is a news article/interview on TheBostonChannel.com about the recent death involving Epcot’s Mission Space that just really sets me off (I will include the article at the end of this post so it can not just disappear, but here is a link to it http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/8690620/detail.html, a video of the story is also on that same page).
The story is about a retired couple who went on a vacation last year. During their vacati0n they went to Disney World and rode Mission Space at Epcot. After the ride the male had experienced some health issues,
When we got out, I said to her, ‘I need to sit down, I don’t feel that great,’” Dick Chalmers said.

Sweat poured from her husband’s face and body and Gail said she feared the worst.
Also stated in the story that I want to point out:
The warning signs Dick remembers did not mention anything about high blood pressure…. …”Going in to this ride, you don’t see what you’re getting in to,” Gail Chalmers said.
*Insert my yelling in frustration here*
First of all, if you ask anyone with more the average Disney knowledge (say a Disney Cast Member any wheres at Epcot, or almost anywheres else on property that you could run into before going on the ride, not to mention the 5 you pass by going in/in the attraction) they can tell you that Mission Space is a thrill ride. Though less intense then then most roller coasters only experiencing 2Gs (or two times the normally force of gravity) it is still a thrill ride none the less.

So I am taking a class this semester where the bulk of it is learning about Photoshop. So we did a bit in ImageReady and learned how to make animated GIFs…. So I thought I would have some fun with it on my own and made this beauty.

There is a setting on my Digital Camera that as long as I hold the shutter button down, it will keep taking photos till I let go. So I would do these with the fireworks as it made my hand giggle less and made for a better fireworks photo….

I wish I could of posted a bigger one, but photobucket made it 1/2 the size I saved it as… sooo.. yeah

But the photo was taken across the lake from the Magic Kingdom during one of the Halloween parties they have (This one is from the party on Oct. 20th 2005 while I was on my College Program). The fireworks you see were set off all around the park, so if you were in the park, everywhere you look around you there are fireworks. It is really a sight to see.

So Google announced a few weeks back that they are going to start a free personal webpage host. They now have one out in Beta (as normal w/ google) and guess who has one???? yeah, thats right… check it out:
