It was brought to my attention today that Google came out with the iPhone app for Google+ not long ago.

Shortly afterwards, it was brought to my attention that the app is only for iPhone and not for iPod Touch.

Laaame.

Topic #208: What’s a food you’ve always wanted to try? But have chickened out on trying?

There really isn’t any food that I really want to try that I haven’t tried yet. I’m not really a big fan of putting a lot of effort into finding unique and special foods to eat, and if I haven’t eaten something yet, it’s because it either sounds horrible to eat or it’s not really worth the effort to eat.

Topic #203: Why is there evil in the world?

This is a pretty obvious topic. There’s evil in the world to form balance with good. If there was only good, the equilibrium would be broken and the system would crash on itself.

Even if all the evil were to be taken away from the world and only good left, too much good would lead to laziness, which would ultimately lead to more evil being formed.

And, a world without evil wouldn’t be very interesting.

Topic #202: Here in the U.S. it can sometimes be harder to find a theater playing a new movie in plain old 2D than in 3D. Do you think the trend for releasing movies in 3D will continue, or is it on the way out? Why or Why not?

I don’t think that 3D movies are going to continue on with such popularity in the future. I’ve never seen a 3D movie in a theater before, but I’ve heard that it doesn’t really add that much to the movie. When we watch 2D movies, we automatically add a third dimension into the picture. For example, when we see a tiny man slowly getting bigger, we assume that he is walking towards us, not rapidly expanding in size and mass. The added dimension really isn’t needed to help us out with that.

I also heard that watching movies in 3D will give you headaches. I remember my dad telling me a long time ago that he read in a newspaper that if you watch a movie in 3D, it takes your brain twice as long as the movie after it’s over to go back to its normal state. It didn’t mention any damage occurring, but I’d rather avoid a headache and watch a 2D movie, adding the third dimension in by myself.

Tip of the Day

If you see something on your todo list that you have a faint memory of adding, it probably means that it was important enough at that time that it had to be done. Not seeing the reason behind it and ignoring it will most likely have negative consequences later when you finally remember why you added it onto your list in the first place.

Topic #201: What would it take to get you to move? If someone you trusted offered you $1000 to move to a different city, would that be enough? More? Or would you need other things (the promise of friends or better weather?) What would they need to offer you before you’d instantly say yes? Or if you already want to move, what would it take to get you to stay?

If I was paid $1000 to move to a different city, I would probably do it if it actually really is a city and the location of my home would be convenient. I would also most likely accept the offer if my destination was California (although, I might put the offer on hold until I finish my undergraduate university studies in Madison, Wisconsin). It would be helpful if I got more than $1000, though, because I would still want to have some money left over after the moving costs.

I don’t think the promise of friends in my area is that important of a factor of me deciding if I want to move or not, seeing as I usually don’t spend a lot of time in person with friends in the first place. The weather is important, though, because I’ve lived in cold and snowy areas all my life, and I’d rather live in a place where it doesn’t snow at all and rains infrequently. The trade-off is that I would have to live through more hot weather, but as long as I have an air conditioner, I would be fine.

A few days back, I finished transferring all my Facebook photo albums to Picasa Web so they appear in my Google+ profile.

If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you may or may not have noticed that I stopped using Facebook about a year and a half ago, and made my entire profile private so people couldn’t contact me or see anything I uploaded unless I initiate the conversation.

This also meant that the photos and videos I uploaded were hidden too. About a year or so ago, I uploaded all the videos I had on my Facebook account to my YouTube account, and now I’m finally done transferring all the photos as well so all my old content is public again.

Not all the photos might make sense because I didn’t transfer over any of the captions, and it seems like a tedious waste of time to do so. But, I’ll be sure to include relevant captions for all future photos that I upload.

Literary Tattoos: Do you have a literary tattoo? Or, if you got one, what would it be of?

I don’t have any literary tattoos and I’m most likely never going to get one, but if I were forced to get one, I would probably get one of a book in the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, or The Lost Symbol).

Topic #200: In honor of reaching topic #200, what in your life would want to have 200 more of? Some people say they want to live longer, but would you really want to live for another 200 years? Others claim they want to be smarter, but how would you get along with your friends if you were 200 times smarter than they are (assuming that’s not already the case)? Perhaps you’d like a new car, but would could you possibly do with 200 more of them?

This is easy.

I want 200 more millions of dollars.
