Here we are at it again, as in the last article I have promised all of my readers that I will be writing another tidbits sooner than expected or usual and I have a few topics that I would like to talk about with some of you if you don’t mind. I will try my best to make this one tidbits article to be shorter but a few more topics than the usual, where I tend to write long paragraph for each topics and this time I am going to try to write shorter paragraph for each topics so to not make it time-consuming although I do know that some of you like some long readings but I am somewhat in a rush myself. Why rush? It is nearing my bed time and the decision to write this tidbits article is at spur of the time but are you ready? Should I begin? Okay here we go.
Tidbits 2/14/2016
Hope some of you will be happy with the topics that I am writing in here and I would like to remind all of you that if there are any topics you would like to see me to share my views/opinions on you are more than welcome to send in your suggestions for the topics for me to share my views/opinions on by visiting this submit (click here) page.
Accurate Weather.
The other day I have decided to do a bit of research to see if there is a such thing as accurate weathers service for all of us to check up to see what we have in the store for the weather in our areas and I discovered with a surprise that most weather services we used to check for our weathers are often inaccurate or unreliable such as NWS Digital Forecast which is the national weather service which is runs by our own governments. When it comes to some services that are being run by our own governments you would expect that it should be as accurate as it can get since the service is in the hands of our own governments but it has shown that National Weather Service shouldn’t be relied on for our weather’s checking.
As for the most accurate weather services that it is reliable and that we can rely on to check the weathers in our area is Weather Underground aka wunderground which you can find wunderground app on iOS or Android. While that we should make Weather Underground our primary use of weather checking, the next accurate weather service that we should also rely on is The Weather Channel and MeteoGroup. These three weather services are the top three accurate weathers that has almost same percentage for accuracy, last year the top three were MeteoGroup, Weather Underground and The Weather Channel. Last month three top accurate weather services is Weather Underground, AccuWeather and The Weather Channel so it’s very safe to say that Weather Underground is the most reliable one.
Here is weather services accuracy data that you can check into it and offering you a weather check in your area with the comparison of different weather services out there to give you an idea of which one has the highest percentage in accuracy for a service that were used to check your weather.
Weather services accuracy comparison: ForecastAdvisor.com
Most reliable weather service: Wunderground.com (IOS|Android)
Forecast Advisor is free service, Weather Underground aka WunderGround is free service to use and so is WunderGround app for both operating systems.
Favorite Fonts.
Everybody has their favorite fonts and so do I. Maybe you don’t know this but Times New Roman font is the most used font, both Windows and Mac offer Times New Roman but ideally if there is something that has been used so often then it would be somewhat boring to use the most used font so some want to use some of the fonts that aren’t most used so to match with your personality or style. Beside why would you want to use something that is has been used by so many people? Ever since I have learned that Times New Roman is the most used font I decided to be distant from that font and use some of the fonts that I think suits my personality more especially when it comes to writing in letters — whether it be a formal or business letter.
So I suggest that you do some looking around on your computer and find some fonts that you feel suits your personality the most. I did and make some of them my default fonts which I will be recommending them. Few of fonts I would recommend to use for both formal or business letter and some of these fonts did not come with your computer as some of these fonts are bought or comes with some softwares you bought.
- Times – Found on Mac
- Adobe Garamond Pro – Found on Adobe Typekit (paid) or comes with Adobe Master Collection
- Minion Pro – via Adobe Typekit (paid)
- American Typewriter – Found on Mac
- ASL Finger-Spelling by Gallaudet – Can be downloaded via DaFont (free, link)
If you are interested in adding some fonts for your computer as there is few of good-looking fonts for free here is instruction on how to download fonts and install it to your computer. Click here for how to install fonts for Windows computer.
SnapChat.
How in the heck can you stand SnapChat? I mean seriously. I just cannot see what is the hype for SnapChat at all and I have installed SnapChat more than five times but kept finding myself removing SnapChat app. I honestly don’t see how thousands or possibly millions of people got addicted to SnapChat and use SnapChat. Every time I gave SnapChat a shot I keep coming back to saying that SnapChat is pointless and nonsense. Take a picture or short video then send it to some of your friend via SnapChat? I can do that using the smartphone’s own text-messaging alone app such as iMessage for iPhone, iPad, iPod or even Mac and it is a lot more safer using that than SnapChat! So I have a question for you, what is the hype with SnapChat? Please leave me an answer in the comment section below and I would greatly appreciate that!
Want Apple Watch? Wait!
If some of you are planning on to buy yourself Apple Watch just for one or two months because there is Apple event coming up in March and several reliable sources have said that a few new products that Apple will be releasing within’ a week from the day of Apple Event in March including their supposedly new redesigned Apple Watch 2. So if you are eyeing for Apple Watch I would suggest that all of you geeks to wait for just one more month and get Apple Watch 2. You don’t want to end up buying Apple Watch then a month later to find out that they are releasing a new generation for their watch and please keep this in mind that this is rumors from several reliable sources so be patient for one more month to check to see if the rumors are true that Apple is releasing Watch 2 but what is true is that Apple will be having a event in March to announce something new so keep an eye out.
Do Research on Presidential Candidates First!
I cannot stress enough that voters should do their research before deciding which candidates they would like to vote to become the next president of the United States. In fact what is wrong with some of you who wants to roots for Ted Cruz? What you don’t realize is that Ted Cruz born from Canada and is Canadian! Having someone from the other country to run for presidency in the country like United States that they are not from? This is United States and we want American president that truly knows the United States of America. Who? To name a couple, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as both of them are true American which is the ones that we should decide which one we would like to become our next president. Even Donald Trump if you wish as Donald Trump is American, from United States but you’d be silly to vote for him to become our next president because we need someone who has the experience in office and whether you love it or hate it Hillary Clinton has that. Hillary Clinton is perfect one to become our next president out of others as she has the experiences in office as the first lady behind Bill Clinton and Secretary of State with several years combined which is unbelievable by the way.
Not only that we would have Bill Clinton back in the office too, sure as first gentleman? But the point is that he is one of very few successful presidents as he had everybody working with jobs, skyrocketing economy and turned the United States into the golden years — Making United States a truly United States so you’d be silly to consider. Sure there were some weird things happened with Bill Clinton but it was his own choice as himself and not as the president of United States because it had nothing to do with the United States whatsoever. Don’t get me started on with Hillary Clinton’s use of private email because there are always people who try to find a way to hurt their chance of becoming president for the United States just like it did with Barack Obama and his birth certification (remember that?). If not Hillary Clinton then go for Bernie Sanders, I am actually a fan of Bernie Sanders and would be happy to have him as the next president if he is to win presidency. Not Bernie Sanders? Maybe Ben Carson and if not him then I am not happy to say this but go for Donald Trump only as if he is the last resort. As for the rest of others, no thank you.
Starbucks Missing Out.
I hope that this will catch Starbucks attention as it’s being in public instead of private where I have sent them emails a few times before. But Starbucks is missing out by not putting one Starbucks in Belfry, Kentucky or anywhere from Pikeville in Kentucky to Logan in West Virginia and there is no competitor in these areas which that means Starbucks have a potential 100% market sales. The areas from Pikeville in Kentucky to Logan in West Virginia or Belfry in Kentucky is the center of these two large cities with potential around 100,000 customers total (via US Census) so if Starbucks have at least half of these populations buying a cup of coffee each day for $4 each they would get a total of $200,000 dollars daily or 6 million dollars monthly and that is just for a cup of coffee so imagine each person buys other items that Starbucks sells. In recent there has been announced that there will be Little Caesars in Belfry, Ky after leasing a building that used to be Velocity Market and the Velocity Market’s building would have been the perfect building for Starbucks. Own parking lots, plenty space for tables with chairs, plenty for items to be displayed and definitely plenty room for few espresso machines so it is unfortunately that Starbucks did not bother to look into it before it was leased for Little Caesars. I have personally emailed Starbucks with information, phone number to lease that building and other stuff.
Only if I could afford to franchise Starbucks then I would already opened Starbucks in the same building that Velocity Market used before they ran out of business. It is a shameful loss for Starbucks and for the customers too including myself because if there are Starbucks in my area (around Belfry, Ky) then I become their 3-times a day customer and I am sure that goes same for everybody else who lives around these areas. To top it off, there are several schools in Belfry, Ky and they could get some business from them too.
Next time I email you Starbucks, if you are interested in earning a great amount of money while at same time serving a great coffee then I would suggest that you really listen to me. If you Starbucks ever have an interest in around these areas, shoot me a e-mail and I would do some searching for a building that I know would suits Starbucks best but not as great as the Velocity Market building that they lost their chance on though.
Movies Recommendation.
I have watched a few of movies lately, especially the new released movies which I only buy digitally and that means through online store such as iTunes, Amazon Primetime, Google Play or others that allows you to buy movies then download to your devices to watch. I have a few movies that I am recommending and most of them are rated highly by critics.
- Everest
- Suffragette
- Spectre
- Spotlight
- The Martian
- The Intern
- Ted 2
- Marvel Ant-Man
- Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
- Maze Runner: The Scorch Trails
- Bridge of Spies
- The Night Before
- Straight Outta Compton (probably latest one in my top recommended list)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Here at JoshiesWorld I would like to wish all of you a very happy Valentine’s day and hope that you are getting some loves from your partner, sweetheart or spouse. No, not that you dirty minded I mean the affectionate thing! No you dirty-minded again! I mean such as hugs, kisses and possibly dinning out. I am not really crazy about Valentine’s Day myself for one reason and that is one of my aunt Debbie’s favorite holiday but she has been passed on a few years ago. But still I give my mother some gifts for Valentine’s day as she is my only Valentine ever since the day I was born and still is to this day. My mother is what really symbolize Valentine’s day, because she is very heartwarming and she has the purest gold of heart in her that I have ever known. My mother is the only one who always have the whole of my heart from the day I was born to this day still and no one else will ever take that away from her. Yes I am a mommy’s boy, I have always been since the birth and there is a reason which is that she is the only one who have been with me in my lifetime as everybody else in the family especially on my father’s side have deserted me so that only leaves me is my mother. Before it was my grandparents, my aunt Debbie, my uncle Brian and my mother but every one of them except my mother has passed on so I am very lucky to have my mother who is still with me to this day.
Happy Valentine’s Day to Brenda Sullivan who I am proudly to call my mother.
Nonetheless I hope that all of you have a great Valentine’s day and if all of you are planning on to do some partying tonight with your partners please be cautious for your safety. Same goes for everybody else because even if you aren’t partying tonight, there is a chance that somebody else is and if you are planning on to go somewhere tonight please keep an eye out for anyone who drink while driving.
Over to you!
I just realized that I did not do something that I would you I would and that is to write short paragraphs for each topics instead of long paragraphs (oops!). To be honest with you I did not expect that I would be writing a very long tidbits article tonight as it wasn’t my plan in the beginning because I had planned on to write some topics but shorter paragraphs which it seems that I have failed my plan and for that I sincerely hope you forgive me for doing so. Even though tidbits article tends to get very long but it can be short if you set your mind to not write long paragraphs and let’s say that I forgot to set my mind to write short paragraphs for today’s tidbit (haha!)
Now as for when I will be writing another new article is unknown for a few reasons. To name a couple, my sleep cycle is backwards and I have another project that I have tried to launch but end up delaying it more than I would like to. But one thing I can safely tell you is that I should be able to write another article in about a week if not a week and half so I appreciate your patience more than anything. Remember in the beginning of this article I have said that I am in somewhat a rush? That means I am way late and for what you ask? My bed time! So thank you very much for all of your time reading this new tidbits article and I hope that you all enjoy reading them. Remember if you ever come up with some topics that you think I should add in the next tidbits article you can do so by going to this submit page to submit some topics that you would like to hear my views/opinions on the topics you are suggesting. Now this is Joshie signing out!
