How to make an advanced logo!

Two posts down I showed you how to make a mildly simple logo, I've decided to show you how to make a more advanced one! Here are the steps:

  1. head over to
    http://www.grsites.com/generate/category/1/
  2. Pick if you want a 2D, 3D, or moving logo.
  3. follow the instructions on the site, they are easy to understand!
  4. When your done creating your logo, have them send you an email with the logo attached (this is always good to have a backup.)
  5. If you have a normal website that allows file management, continue with their instructions.
    1. If not, and you have a website that doesn't give you file control (blog, forums, ect...) , you'll have to upload your logo some where!
    2. For the 2D and 3D logo, I suggest that you upload to
      http://www.uploadgeek.com/
    3. For the animated logos, in swf format, I suggest using
      http://www.swfup.com/login
    4. The username is: username and the password is: password , enjoy!
    5. This is the logo I created in swf format:

Google owns the internet by giving it to us FREE!

I'd just like to list some of the things google is working on currently.

  1. They have their phone operating system "android"
  2. They are buying the internet frequency 700 MHz (if they win, they plan on giving it free)
  3. They are incorporating a "digg-like" thing onto there search, so that when you search something, the best site will come up based on user votes :)!
  4. If you go to google.com/experimental you can try out their new timeline search!
  5. Google has decided to invest in an all green project to power San Francisco!

I'll update this list! So stay tuned!

Slacker ways to improve your schooling!

If your a still in school like me, you've probably got a lot of work on your hands. I've decided to post some stress-free ways to shift into becoming a proficient, under-achiever! The key to this list is focusing energy in important times.

Sport Season

  • If you are an active in sports, you have to be on task that season, you'll really have to dig deep in these times to get the grades you deserve, if you are new to a school, (aka freshmen, or just moved to town) I suggest you don't do sports!
  • If you do decide to do a sport, make sure that you don't over-obsess on the sport. The sport is fun, and the friends you make are interesting, yet when you get home, that's when the homework should feverishly begin.
  • If it is an intense sport that leaves you drained, you must make a schedule. My schedule went something like this: go to school, go to sports, go home, do homework, eat, go to sleep!
  • It's important that you regain all energy possible, to excel in schooling and sports!
  • Sum-it-up! - Sport's season = Hard work all around!

No sports?

  • When your not working out intensely, or doing a sport, you have a little lee-way for getting a break.
  • When you get home, I recommend that you get 30 minutes of "you time!" Spend this time to do what EVER you want!
  • If you aren't normally an A/B student I suggest that you give yourself up to an hour to spend doing things you enjoy that slowly relates to the subject.
  • For example, get on the computer, and go to www.popsci.com/ and read up on some interesting current events.
  • The time that you do this is essential for switching your focus from "Me time," to "Me and Homework time."
  • You'll feel less worked if you make this transition as easy as possible.

Tips
  • Get to know your teacher's style, there are usually two types of teachers; those who give tests from the book, and teachers who give tests on notes you've tacken. (The teachers who do both are freaking insane, I have no hints there.)
  • If your a slacker, all you have to do is pickup on this difference and take advantage of it!
  • For the text book teacher: You may slack in class!
  • For the notes teacher: You cannot slack in class, this is important!
  • When you take those notes in class, they are your life-line! Cherish them!
  • If you don't have a system for studying, heed these words- It's not hard!
  • My system of studying is to have a titanium metal case that I carry around with me, (if you don't' carry it with you, it's pointless.) For the teachers that give note tests, I simply take the notes, and put every key question on one side, and the answer on the back.


P.S. Thanks for reading!

Do you ever get bored and just want to talk to somone?

Since I'm not a hot-shot with tons of friends, and don't know how to strike up a good conversation (sarcasm) With the following link I won't tell you how to talk to someone, but something! The following website is free and very fun to use, whether it's a few minutes, or a few hours, this little a.i. (artificial intelligence) bot will keep you entertained! This a.i. bot takes on personality, so as you'd imagine it's mixed up with a lot of people and always says fun things.

This site focuses on user submitted chat that is simply hilarious! I go here when ever I am feeling like insulting someone yet, want an insult that'll really sting and make me laugh!
