Cattitude at its finest

Cattitude at its finest

Ahhh YouTube, we love you for your star making abilities, for us to rant and rave about anything at all and for the ability to watch kitties. Yes, kitties, we love them, they make the Internets heart melt and they are even cuter when they’ve got Cattitude, we love the feistiness that a cat gives and envy their super power of always landing on their feet, let’s not even get started on their nine lives… …

Thanks technology for helping make a video for Emily

Thanks technology for helping make a video for Emily

Wow, if you have yet to see this teenage boy profess his love for some girl named Emily, you need to watch it and then watch it again. At first, if you are honest, it makes you want to laugh as he quietly sings “Everything I Do, I Do for You”, sung originally by Canadian singer, Bryan Adams, and as the transitions oddly switch, you may throw a chuckle or two with a possible snort. But as the video progresses and you get past the electric “pretend playing” guitar, you will see just how much this little boy cares for a girl. You will suddenly remember being that age and feeling what he feels, since at one…

Do you REALLY need credit for that image you found on the web?

Do you REALLY need credit for that image you found on the web?

People are getting very upset over how other people are resharing photos that they originally uploaded to their social network. To you and I this would sound like a legit reason to become angry, the thing is though, it’s not their image. We all can relate to feeling like the social network we use is ours and ours only as it acts like a stage to our audience whether public or not. We have advanced from simply uploading just the photos that we take and have cleverly decided to start searching for images on the web to share. This is great, we all get to visually see what someone somewhere took a picture of,…

Profilactic prevents an online identity crisis

To keep track of it all there is a place that allows you to attach certain social sites; RSS feeds and enables you to add clippings back to articles you may have written across the web. …

This video is going to make you hungry

This video is going to make you hungry

This is how to use an auto tuned app the right way, not to mention the fact that he is giving an amazingly creative review for 5 Guys cheeseburgers. I personally am not a fan of auto tuning a song that was until I found the app Songify, which allowed me to turn my words into an auto tuned rap, I was hooked on pretending to be Lil’ Wayne. But I digress. …

Holy cowabunga dude, I heart Google+ Ripples

Holy cowabunga dude, I heart Google+ Ripples

Google has made so many changes and added new features it is making Facebook look like the tortoise in this race for supremacy. As much as I love it when social networks take the initiative to add to my life by adding to their sites, I wish they were a little more obvious about their changes. I almost want a flashing billboard to read “HEY YOU WE HAVE SOMETHING NEW” (the only time I would accept anything flashing on a page btw) to display on the page so I do not miss anything amazing as I have most recently. I am facepalming as we speak. Did I fall asleep? Blackout, am I really the only one who has yet to check…

Why you need to start saying NO in Social Media

Why you need to start saying NO in Social Media

If you are looking at Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or any other social network and are scratching your head as to how the type of content that is displaying in your feeds got there, you may want to begin rethinking how you are using your social networks. If you are looking for quality (boy, I sure hope you are) then you need to start saying “no” or not adding people back. Sure, adding everyone who followed you anywhere on the web seemed like the right thing to do back in 2007, but that is now so two thousand and late. You will always need to take emotions into account when people add you and if you don’t…

Greetings from Mars: We’re NASA and we know it (Video)

Greetings from Mars: We’re NASA and we know it (Video)

Greetings humans, curiosity the rover had you watch live from the web its landing on Mars to try and decipher if it will be habitable for our species. If in any instance we needed another planet to live on due to either global warming, the zombie apocalypse or if something from space were to threaten this world, we would have to go in space to invade another planet. We humans are clever. …

A robot for your smartphone? Your wish has been granted.

A robot for your smartphone? Your wish has been granted.

Robots are ultra-cool, something we have wanted since long before Rosey the maid from the Jetsons. Technology has allowed us to turn ideas into reality but the robots that have been created are either too expensive or have brutally failed. Our smartphones have almost become our robotic limb, a gadget that we cannot live without; in fact we have chosen to become heavily reliant on this multipurpose tech. So, it would be super awesome if we could turn or smartphones into robots right? Yep. …

The force is strong with this one: An R2-D2 figurine you control with a matching watch

Hello my far away galaxy friend. We meet at last… Charge forth with light sabers, wookies and storm troopers and be sure to banish all non-Star Wars loving creatures from your area on Planet Earth, for we are about to sound like R2-D2 to them as we pivot ourselves into galactic history. Ahhh… R2-D2, only the most beloved android there is, and no we are not talking about phones here people! We are talking about the human cyborg C3PO’s best matched counterpart R2-D2. The resourceful and spunky droid, though only able to communicate through beeping sounds easily became a much loved astromech…

The mountable washing machine concept is heaven sent for the urban life

The mountable washing machine concept is heaven sent for the urban life

As the population grows we are slowly being forced into high-priced condensed living quarters, making living in the city bittersweet since we are close to amenities but squished together like sardines. Any type of clever creativity for maneuvering furniture or acquiring furniture that has dual purposes can be very handy; in fact it can turn a small cramped apartment into an organized comfortable living space. Washing machines (if lucky to have one) are chunky and take up a lot of space in what is otherwise a very good spot for other things, so like many, we are forced to give up the luxury of washing…

How commonality creates conversation

How commonality creates conversation

You’ve seen it, the way other people are able to get social interactions left, right and center. Almost like people are sitting there waiting for them to post something, anything, then BAM, before your very eyes they have a bunch of likes or retweets or anything that signifies they approve. You may ask yourself often just how do they do it, you post frequently, trying your hardest and think you are posting pretty clever stuff, yet to get just  one single “like” is like pulling teeth from a walrus. It truly does not have to be this difficult; you can easily get responses to posts by finding what…
