Windows 7 for $5?

It's so remarkable the different sites that one can find online when one is looking for something else!

Case in point:

I was looking for more information about a 3D program and it led me to a online website where if you join for $5 you can download the FULL version of Windows 7!

Since I am quite happy with the operating system that I have I chose not to download the Windows 7 program but I thought that it interest a lot of people if they knew that there was a website where they could download Windows 7 for just $5!

Remembering 911 - Free Banner For Your Website!

I found a site where you can get free web banners to commemorate 911. All you have to do is to go to the website and copy and paste the code to one of your own websites. There are different banners that are provided and you can pick the one that you like the best and copy and paste the code for it.

I think that this is a highly commendable thing to do to help remember the events of September 11th so that we won't forget and that hopefully it doesn't happen ever again!

Geocitites Will Be Closing!

the number of free webhosting sites has now shrunk by one!

Yahoo has announced that they are shutting down their Geocities site. Just in case you didn't know, Geocities was one of the free webhosting sites online!

There are still quite a bit of free webhosting sites online so if you need to move your sites from Geocities, just do a search for some (other) free web hosting sites.

My Blog Was Locked Over The Labor Day Weekend!

My blog was locked over the Labor Day Weekend but I'm glad to report that it is back now!

I also started a new blog called Philadelphia Native Blog. Originally this blog was supposed to be about me and the places and things I enjoyed in Philadelphia but somehow this blog turned into a blog talking about the free things that I have found on the internet.

So I started a new blog that will hopefully stay on the topic of Philadelphia and related stuff.

If not I'll just branch out and create another blog - LOL!

VUE - Personal Limited Edition

If you're into 3D graphics then this program is a definite MUST! But first let me warn you that this 3D graphics program is over 300 MB in size! It took me all night to download it and it took about 45 minutes to install! So make sure that you have enough hard drive space before you download this program!

Here is the link to download the program:

Download the VUE - Personal Limited Edition

I repeat - this is a very powerful (and very big) 3D graphics program! After I went through the torture of finally installing it and opening the program I realized just how big it is!

One of the best things about this free download is that the program is so powerful! Here is what the website says about this edition of this 3D program:

The Personal Learning Edition (PLE) is a fully functional version of Vue 6 Infinite/xStream (selection of Infinite or xStream is done during installation). With the PLE, you can:

• Create complete projects, save your work and export to other applications,
  

• Render stills and animations without size/length limit,
  

• Experience Vue’s power directly inside Max/Maya/LightWave/Cinema4D (XSI coming soon)
  

• Learn at your own pace (the PLE never expires)!

The PLE is for personal, non-commercial use only, files cannot be exchanged with other PLE users and are not compatible with other versions of Vue, renders may be watermarked and carry a logo.

I tried to make a "fast" picture so that I could show you what you can do with the program but its just too much for me to grasp since I just got it so here is a picture from one of their galleries:

What?

Well it looks like my Adsense Consultant blog got classified as a spam blog. Now I have to prove to blogger that I'm human and not automated or a robot!

I went through the form process and now have to wait 2-3 business days for a reply!

Well THAT Was A Lot Of Fun!

I just spent the last half hour getting rid of some sort of "thing" that kept appearing in my browser. What it was was that any of the sites that had google's Adsense on it I couldn't see the ads. Instead what I got was blank "white" space where the Google Ads were!

Now I have downloaded only one thing in the past 3 days and I'm thinking that was the source of the problems that I was having.

I still have to test it out by looking at my blog - but so far so good.

I guess that should be a lesson to all of us - don't download anything that you are not sure of. You may get a virus, adware or even something worse that will really mess up your computer!

Terragen

This little picture I made with a graphics program called Terragen. I think its short for terrain generator. This program is a free download from here. This free 3D program helps you to create landscapes and scenery. Since I did this picture in a rush you can see even with that you can create some gorgeous scenery pictures.

Like I said before this is a free 3D program that you can download from the link above.

With this program you can create different kinds of terrain and even give them preset materials like grass and snow and you can also create your own materials. You can also change the look of the clouds and the atmosphere - for example you can make your scene look hazy, misty or even have a "sunset" appearance added to it.

So there you have it! Another free download courtesy of the Internet!

My Brother wants me to "Pimp" for him?

Now you know I thought this was a crazy idea when I first thought about it but later on (and it came to me while I was shopping at Shoprite) I realized that the majority of people I know are women because when I worked at Shoprite there were more women than men (except when I was working the overnights there). So I was shopping at the Shoprite and someone asked me how things were going and I started talking about my brother and then I remembered what me and my brother were talking about and I thought look at all these women here! I know a real smorgasbourd of women and some of them I KNOW that he would like. Some of them are young of course and I know that he would like them, some of them look like models so I know that he would like them too!

I'm not talking about dating. I'm talking about the "shipping" them off to him! Isn't it crazy what your mind can think about when you're not quite right?

My Brother Called Me Brilliant!

I guess it runs in the family but my brother told me about this particular job that he had to do for a client of his. It seems that they wanted to transfer some files and my brother couldn't figure out how to solve the problem. I mentioned a solution and that is when he called me brilliant! Well after I got finished laughing I told him that he probably would of thought of it a little later and the only reason why he didn't at the time was because he was trying too hard!

He told me he was about to take the computer apart to solve the problem and again I laughed because there have been times when I have felt the exact same way!

But its an odd kind of thing seeing that we are both computer-crazy and we will try to solve a problem - so much so that it becomes a "personal" obsession until the problem is solved!

I don't solve the problems all the time but you can bet that I gave it my all!

Powell Funeral Home!

This is the funeral home that did my mother's service. I chose them because they were the same funeral home that did my father's service more than 20 years ago! Imagine using the same funeral home without even talking to them in 20 years (in fact I didn't talk to them those 20 years ago because I was quite young and quite out of it at the time of my father's funeral).

Well as it turns out I had NOTHING to worry about because my mother's funeral service was absolutely beautiful! The service (including the music) was just like a inspirational church service and that includes the sermonizing by the pastor who presided over the funeral.

Even though my mother's funeral was a few months ago I kept saying to myself (and to one of the staff members) that I was going to mention them in my blog. Of course I hadn't gotten around to it until now mostly because I was down there today and I was telling them how memorable my mother's funeral was and that made me remember about how I said that I was going to mention them.

I'm going to put their full information on my blog. Talking about a funeral home might seem creepy to some but this one did an excellent job!

Mom Has A Cold!

She's sneezing and her eyes are watery and she just sneezed three times (now four times) in a row. She doesn't like it and she doesn't like feeling this way and she's sure that the cat had something to do with it!
