Tech Company Controlled Future Dystopia (Dream)

I had the weirdest futuristic dystopian dream yesterday night. My dad needed to go to work, and for some reason our entire family drove up to this building, which kind of looked like some sort of smart vehicle parking garage. One side was for employees, and the other side was for cars and guests. My dad gets off, badged in, and walked off down the corridor for employees. This conveyor belt starts moving my mom, the car, and I through the system of futuristic looking corridors that is very brightly lit (like something you'd see in a Sci-Fi movie). Then the conveyor belt split. One lane for Facebook, another for Microsoft, and another for Apple, and the final one for Google. The in car GPS suddenly lit up and changed, saying the trip will be 38 miles and 50 minutes.

We began traveling down the Google corridor. I blinked once, and suddenly my mom and I was in this bus sized gondola traveling with others through the San Francisco Bay Area's network of cables and gondolas, all of which were owned and operated by the 4 largest tech giants.

At first I was enjoying the scenery, as all the mountains surrounding us (apparently we were traveling through Fremont at the time), were covered with snow. There is some reality to this since it has been snowing like crazy here in the San Francisco Bay Area recently. After a while, I remember getting into an argument with my mom thinking, "Wait! When did I agree to this trip?", also "Don't I have photos to edit, and photos to take?", and "What the heck did I get myself into?". Anyways I woke up pretty soon after. 😂

It was pretty creepy dreaming of a San Francisco Bay Area covered with a public transport system comprised of gondolas and light rails, all of which are owned and operated by the 4 biggest tech giants. I wonder if I did end up seeing into the future of capitalist America. 😅 Anything is achievable if you have the money. Honestly, it looked a bit like China 🇨🇳, but in the Fremont, with all the public transportation built out. In China 🇨🇳 we have gondolas at most tourist hotspots, and we have really sophisticated light rail systems.

PS: I responded very well to an experimental treatment recently for Visual Snow Syndrome. My day time vision is almost completely normal now, and I've recovered around half of my night vision. I've began taking photos again during the day, and very rarely, some night photography with assistance from my parents.

Google TV, Netflix, and K'NEX

Got a Google TV and Netflix. :D Google TV from Sony. LOL It was pretty big... Probably because it can also play Blu-ray disks... Anyways, Netflix is cool too.


Just watched District 9 on Netflix yesterday. Was a pretty good movie. Netflix's quality is good too, considering it was online streaming. No lag for some reason. o_O Not sure how they do that...


Today, I spent my day watching American Dad episodes on Netflix. LOL Nothing else to do... Other than building my K'NEX roller coaster model thingy I got for Christmas. HAHA It was fun. :D Check it out!

Funny mistake I made... 我做的一个好玩错误。。。

5-20-2010

On my post about my apple cobber I made (Blog Post here), I made a 2 funny errors in my Chinese translations. For apple cobbler I accidentally translated it to apple shoemaker (Just took Google Translate's results) XD And for the comments I wrote please comment about this from your grave. Funny mistakes! HAHA. Like I said, I'm not very good with Chinese. I just corrected the mistakes now.


在我博客上写关于我做的苹果馅饼文章 (博格文章) ,我犯了两个很可笑的错误。苹果馅饼不小心写成了苹果皮匠 (我就拿了谷歌翻译结果) XD  然后我把 “请你在底下告诉我看得怎么样” 翻成了 “请你在地下告诉我看得怎么样”。很可笑的错误!哈哈。像我我说的,我的中文很差。我刚才把我的错误改好了。



Why Google Buzz Sucks

5-6-2010


What is the point of following someone when you can't comment on their posts which don't show up on your like homescreen when they aren't following you back! Google Buzz is shit. It's like a crappy version of Twitter + Facebook. What now, we can't even check our email before starting on stuff we have to do (like homework) because Google Buzz is there and we will always be tempted to go in and check what other's are saying. I thought Google was suppose to make products that makes our life easier, not harder! This is why Google Buzz sucks and why it will never enter the social networking network. LOL Please share your view on this subject below please. :D
