Mother's Day Anticipation

Today my wife and I woke up early. As she put it, her stomach was getting harder. Then I quipped half groggily, "Maybe Hannah is celebrating Labor Day one day late."

I'm coming out before Mother's Day

My wife then said, "Maybe she wants to celebrate Mother's Day outside of my tummy." 

America's Army 3 - The Gentleman's FPS

It's a foggy morning in a Czervenian town and a quiet one too. Most of the civilians were evacuated by the Czervenian government weeks before as the town holds the key to the bridge which eventually leads to the capital. The bastion of a renegade dictator, a man defiant against the International community and a progenitor of several atrocities. He knew the strategic importance of the town. Plastic chairs inspired by Italian al fresco cafes litter the street in wanton disarray. Trucks and vans were used as barricades. All seem to be waiting for the coming of America's Army.

The Story of the Blogger

Once upon a time, there was a boy who had a computer. He used it for school and he used it for games. The boy thought that he could do anything with his computer, and he did. 

Then came the Internet. The Internet was young and the Internet was new. People talked about it a lot and so this boy thought that he'd go and have a look at it too. 

He was amazed at all the dazzling colors. He was enthralled with all the nice pictures. It was then that he said, Yahoo!

Cat + Baby Cuddling

These two... :)

I found this adorable video shared by a Facebook friend and I just had to put it here for a change. I've never put cats here before, I think.

But if you must ask me, I'd really prefer having a dire wolf like in game of thrones as a pet.

Will I Get Paid For My Ideas?

The question "will I get paid for my ideas?", is actually one that's been floating about on the Internet since God knows when. After all, most of the giants today all started with an idea. For me it has been a long and arduous endeavor. I've managed to earn a few thousands dollars with ideas (plus a little bit of video editing) but lately, I'm just too tired to think of more.

It worked for a while with some website, but then that only worked until such time "that people with many ideas to cheat", circumvented the system.

While surfing, (does anybody ever use that term still?) on the Internet, I found another interesting proposition.

A new website called youzingit.com claims to be,

"...a website for buying and selling ideas. Users will have complete confidentiality, along with resources to legally protect their ideas. For consumers, it is a way to get paid for their ideas. For companies, it will provide a breeding ground for revenue producing and/or cost saving ideas at a reasonable cost. These ideas will come from everyday consumers who serve as the “pulse” of the marketplace."

I don't know how this would work yet, but there are many other services like this on the Internet, and they are quite technical in nature.

I'm going to sign up just to test whether this could be a good way to earn some money online.

Getting paid for your thoughts specially during these days is quite a challenging proposition, given that the very nature of the Internet itself is about ideas.
