This morning I was reading some news on Google news of course, as my usual news source. There were only maybe two or three news articles that interests me enough to read and one of them were the one about Yahoo! search engine is thinking about to set up YouTube rival to compete the most video sharing website which is YouTube. Quite interesting news article I must say, and it does make me think a bit about it considering that Google competitor is Yahoo since both is search engines and have other features such as e-mail, news, auto, stock and many others. My favorite would be of course, undoubtedly Google. Only search engine that I always get what I need and is accurate the most of time. However Yahoo is a good alternative I must say, and I used to use Yahoo all the time several years ago when I started using dial-up and first using the internet ever several years ago when I was a teenager, ah how I miss these days especially using the popular product belongs to Yahoo! which I am sure that most of you remember what it is, yes that is right! Yahoo Messenger. But while then, until Google became well-known and booming in growth and became a competitor of Yahoo! and now is number…

I am a bit of late on this news about politics but again I don’t usually write a lot about politics because I am not into politics, only I am into if something that’s important for everyone to know or something important that I knew it could affect anyone’s life or business. In this case, a bit of business. I was reading an article on Google news for my morning news as usual to see if anything good going on or if something that I should know and I am technology news fan so at the most of the times I only read news about technology and very rarely politics news. The other day, two days ago I decided to read the politics news out of boredom and something had gotten my attention. The news from Google titled “Google claims 84% of online news are hacked by governments”, something like that title would catch my attention and of course it has caught my attention obviously, considering that I am a blogger and a bit of journal and have some friends who own known blogger websites. Government has targeted major online news such as CNN, MSNBC (I think that’s what it called?), Fox and few others and they said that they are also targeting bloggers and will go after smaller bloggers…
SuddenLink communication is the provider for internet and TV cable that I am member of for several years. Last year our power were very prone to outrage even that they would go out on a sunny day, while power outrage we still have the TV cable and internet working smoothly because I own a power generator that powered some of important electronics such as computer, TV, heater and fridge to keep the meats frozen from going rotten. But this year is a total different since, thankfully to KY power (AEP – I believe?) improved our power drastically and our power isn’t prone to outrage anymore and it can withstand heavy storms this year that we had gotten so far which is quite pleasing especially the power is a bit more important than internet and TV cable but at times we do need internet for a reason and that’s business especially my own and as well for some of my devices to work properly as they require WI-FI. For past few of hard snow storms, we still have power and it wouldn’t even dim or flinch as it would usually last year which I am extremely pleased with the improvement that Kentucky Power did to improve our power lines to withstand anything that comes in the way such as blizzard, ice…
For very lengthy period I don’t keep up with the music, I wasn’t into music much so I never keep up with who is the new musician or what new songs they have produced lately. The latest of songs that I know of is 90s music so basically any time that’s newer than 90s I have no clue what is going on in the music world, if I am ever in mood of listening to music I would only listen to my old music which is mostly rock or heavy metal especially musician like Metallica, White Snake, Motley Cruel, Guns N’ Rose, Lynyard Skynyrd and other similar so yes I am quite out of sync with music lately. Until now ever since I have new headphone and speaker from my mother for my birthday which were as most of you now know March 18th considering that I have written an article about my 27th birthday. In case if you didn’t read that article to know what headphone and speaker am I talking about? I got beats pro headphone and beats pill. Please note that I am hard of hearing so I had purchased and tested several headphones to see which one that I am able to hear – before we start talking about headphone, because I am sure that you…
This article is only short and sweet, not my average article writing because this time only I would like to write is to let everyone who is my readers that I have a friend named Preston who have launched a new personal website of his own and that I would like to share his website to every one of you so you can head over and bookmark his website to read new articles every now and then when you have the time to read some blogs like here and his as well. At the moment he doesn’t have many of articles written and that is because he recently launched it in a week so give it a time (Preston, you have some catching up to do!) but here’s the website that I am recommending – www.kniew.com a newly web blog by a long-time dear friend of mine, Preston. Enjoy! – Joshie.
Yesterday I have started playing a game on my Xbox One called TitanFall which is a multiplayer game and is exclusive game only for Xbox One console. I have played it for a couple of hours or so and I got hooked to that game right there and then. Ever since I have finally had the time to play some games on my Xbox One yesterday I decided to open the wrapper on TitanFall game that my mother bought me for my birthday present the other day that I had asked her for my birthday. With that game, you must have Xbox One hooked to the internet by either Wi-Fi or corded internet cable and is gold member on Xbox live to be able to play that game, the Titanfall otherwise don’t bother purchasing the game because you cannot play the game without internet period. But again several of people who owns Xbox One already have the internet hooked and is gold member anyway, although I do know that there is some people who do have the internet hooked but no gold member and some don’t even have the internet hooked to Xbox One and if you are one of those few people who don’t have the internet and gold member and a game TitanFall then you are seriously missing…
Yesterday on March 18th, 2014 were my 27th birthday. Yes I know I am getting old, if some of you are going to say that age is still a young age I will call you bullcrap because it’s what it feels. I would like to give my thanks to every one of you on Facebook and Twitter for wishing me a happy birthday, I have read each one of them although I haven’t answered any one of them and I probably won’t able to because they are several ones, would take me forever to answer each one of them so to make it less complicated I would like to go ahead and give my thanks to all of you for the wishes. I had a fantastic birthday yesterday, especially with my mother and one visitor that I always truly appreciate, Danny. My mother had a cake made by bakery with two layers of camouflage with deer antlers atop with some leafs hanging onto the antler, it was beautiful done by the baker however I do not like the cake either did my mother and there is a reason for that – fondue. I cannot stand the fondue but the cake itself was quite delicious, only if without fondue then it would be a great cake. We would take the fondue…
The wintry storm has hit in Kentucky specifically Pike county like it has never happened before in decades. I live in that county in Kentucky which is one of the counties that got hit the most, here we got hit so bad that we had to declare state emergency in level 3 and several of residents has lost power and some damages however luckily I live in the mountain that the power lines are under several trees which makes it harder for the outrage however only damage I had gotten was the internet and TV and I would rather that than losing any power because the power is more important than those especially for the heater to keep us all warm throughout the wintry storm. This all had happened on Sunday night all through until Monday night, we had nonstop of it. We had a report that we would have 6-8 of ice and 4-6 of snows covering the layers of ice and in the morning on Monday the street in front of my home were nothing but ice with snows covering them and several vehicles has driven through them that had left no marks, because usually when there are some inches of snows and cars drives over them it would leave two lines marks from the both sides of…
