Top 10 Tech themed costumes

Its a little late to do Halloween posts, so instead I'm gonna have a lil fun with this and search for both Halloween costumes AND some general costumes that you'd see at cons or even pets. Anything that falls under the line of costume.

Okay... I'm a family man, and a gamer. So when I saw this I was amazed.

I love the quality and the time spent on this. It also looks like the baby is

rather comfortable. I bet this kid is going to have her/his jaw drop when

they look back at this.

 Personally, this is the best of both worlds. The stormtrooper family look amazing and the iron man costumes are out of this world. Both are fully detailed, and verry well made. I also love how the little iron man reacts. It kinda looks like he's going to give em a nice blast. No worries little iron man, Stormtroopers can't hit the broadside of a barn.

LOOK AT THE PICTURE BEFORE READING

At first glance I thought "Hey that's cheating its a picture of a baby."

Then I realize that it wasn't a iphone.

I found this lil number on amazon. So looks like I found myself a new Halloween costume!
Seriously look how epic this thing is. It has the plastic, see through, tie. A golden lap coat
with matching pants. Personally I just want the goggles.

You've heard of He-Man, you've heard of Megaman, but now meet...
KEY MAN. With the power of Type!

This lil guy is pretty cool. I love how it features the lil mouse. The only thing I don't like
is the hands... the hands bug me. Other than that its an amazing thing.

Sometimes I wonder if I should be this. With my luck of computers this is quite normal.
Still I love how creative it is. This is enough to scare any computer illiterate person to call
there friend who knows how to fix computers for help.
What really sells the costume is the monitor head.

This is actually pretty neat. Not only is it a fully detailed camera, but the back of the costume
has a photo of two people standing side-by-side. Although their faces are blanked out. So it gives
off the illusion that he is in fact a camera. Kudos good sir.

 Meet robo-man. Half man, half... 3-Cpo. Not only is his dance moves fresh,
but he also has 32 gigabytes of ram, with a 500 watt battery. Legend has it
that his powerful robotic limbs can crush the skull off any human. But he uses his powers for dance,
and not evil.

Four way battle: LibreOffice, Microsoft Office, Google Drive, and Skydrive

Microsoft Office, my experience is well... I won't say vast, but well informed. That might be a better word. I've messed with Microsoft office from middle school to somewhat present day. Its professional, although sometimes it can be complicated at times. With many different options, buttons, and do-dads one can get lost. Still lets talk about the features shall we?

This is Microsoft word's tool bar. For starters it has the basic File, Home, Insert, Page Layout, and Mailings tab. Now, I'm going to state this as well, this is the 2010 version. So it is outdated. It still has its uses, and can make one hell of a resume for a job. Although my skills with the program has dwindled over the years, I still tend to use it from time to time.

The funnest thing to play with by far is the text animations, and background manipulations. You can bring new life to your work, giving it a more edgier approach.

I'm also going to add this in, Skydrive is a slightly inferior version compared to Microsoft office. You receive 5gb of space to use for files, you can buy more space if needed, and the best part is that its perfectly free! All you need is a live account. So if you have a xbox live account then you're golden. Heck you don't even have to make a new email for it. You can link one of your own to log in with. For example, instead of having frankbillbobjoemanthefifth12@live.com I can use rememberflapjack53535@yahoo.com instead. (These are not real accounts, and if they are I apologize in advance. I came up with these at random.)

Now Skydrive is really cool, I prefer google drive over it. Yet it still stands tall. With a Skydrive you have access to slightly downgraded version of Microsoft office. In addition you can sign in on the desktop version and it will sync your work. So its automatically saving itself onto the web-base version; internet is required for this to work. I give it a B+.

Google Drive. I probably post about this quite a bit to be honest. I know it isn't the first time I've done it. In fact, this topic has been around the block once or twice. So I'll try not to bother you much about it. Now the google drive is completely free, unless you want to buy for additional space. It has everything that Microsoft office has, but its more simplified. Although there is beauty in simplicity. It is easier to find more what you need, BUT you don't have too many options in customization like Microsoft office does. That is one of the downsides for me.

Libre is kinda like Microsoft office. It has the same fonts, almost exact options, and is shockingly compatible. You're asking what's so compatible about libre office aren't you? well I'll tell you. Libre office documents can be opened with Microsoft office, and Microsoft live. I figured it out by accident. Now its not 100% keen, but when it comes to saving Word docs then it'll do its job. I will say this though, I still prefer some of the templates you can use in Microsoft Excel over libre office's version. Still its free, and that's always good.

The beauty, and horror of Social Media.

Social media has become a major part of modern day life. Can you think how many times people visit a social media website such as You tube, Facebook, or Google plus? Have you ever went an entire day, out of your own free time, without visiting one of these sites? I can't, I'm on Youtube almost everyday. If not I get on facebook for a minute or two. Still, all these social medias have become a major part of our lives. Both in a positive and negative way.

Facebook has become most likely  the largest social media site around. They have enough users to create their own country if they wanted to. Yet they don't, because that'd be weird. Any who, Facebook has grown in popularity quite fast, every day they get more and more users. Even then they have at least 300 million users on daily! Heck that's a major feat in itself.

It also allowed the users to keep in touch with old friends, family members, or even celebrities (if you're in to that). It has allowed us to make new friends, keep in touch with older pals, and even have long political debates that seem to never end. Amazingly all of that blends beautifully.

Personally, I tend to hate most updates for facebook. Sometimes their good updates, don't get me wrong, but other times its just down right confusing! At least its not as tragic as You tube updates. And yes, I said tragic. Yet its the little things that tend to bug me the most. Mainly because it messes up the group settings.

Super Sonic boom is our little clan that was made back in 2011. I, and 3 other friends, run this little group to host events. Such as tourneys, game days, and casual tie day. The picture to our left is our clan's symbol, and motto.

Facebook has quite a few perks does it not? How could something this good be so bad? Well there is a downside. Facebook has affected newspapers and the school reunion companies.

Newspapers used to make money from advertisement banners. This was once a gold mine for local newspapers. Companies would post job openings, events, and advertisements. That way everyone in the community could see it anytime they would look at a newspapers. Now days companies make facebook pages, which is perfectly free to do. Now they may pay a little bit for advertisement, but not as much as they would if they stuck to using banners.

Just because some companies choose to advertise over the web doesn't mean they don't use newspapers. They're just not making as much revenue as they used to.

Remember back in the day when non turtle wranglers would have a special event to celebrate an X amount of years out of high school? I sure don't, because I've only been out of high school for 2 years, going on 3. With jokes aside, they took a hefty blow. You see, people now days use facebook to stay in touch with one another or use some other type of social media. This has nearly killed organizations that due high school reunions.

Google plus... you know, I've had no problems with it. Heck compared to facebook's setup, Google plus is extremely organized. How, you may ask? Well much like the groups in facebook, google plus has a similar thing called Circles. Circles are like little clicks in school, or whatever they call em. Now each circle can have its own, unique, category. Such as Friends, Family, Dogbert, SSB, or something along those lines.

Lets say you'd like to post something for a specific group, aka SSB, but you don't want everyone and their grandma to see it. Well you can actually post to said circle without anyone else knowing. That is one thing that I find amazing about it.

Another thing you can do is hold group chats, and do video sharing. In the video sharing option, where you can host videos from youtube or other types of medias. Its cool, and easy to setup to boot.  The only problem is that you can only have 10 people per hangout. That's kinda lack luster when you want to have a movie night with the guys. It also makes it extremely awkward when you have to pick who gets in and who doesn't get to come.  

So lets say a new episode of Game Grumps is uploaded and I'd like to watch with my pal Noah. All I'd have to do is go to google plus and invite him to hangout. I put the video up, then we both get to enjoy a few good laughs. That or we could even have a movie night, sadly that may require money depending on where you go.

With all that's said out of the way, we can all accept that social media has become apart of our every day lives. Whether it be facebook, youtube, google, or anything along those lines. It has had some positive effects on us, and some negative on a few businesses.

To be continued with the Myspace Struggle...

I do not own anything from the video. All rights go to the developers of the game and the video.
