My bic pens

Here is a picture of the bic pens I won on july 14. I thought I had already received my bic pens, but then one day I got a small package that contained the bic pens. Then I took a look at the other pen that I thought said bic on it, but it said sharpie. Oops I did not read the label on the pen I just assumed it was a bic pen. I wonder what sweepstakes I won that sharpie pen from.

I won twice yesterday

For my first win I received an email that said I won a 25 dollar cinemark gift card. The email was in my junk folder and I almost left it there, but I decided to move it to me inbox and open it up and see what it said and I am glad I did.

My second win of the day was an instant win of a bag of fun size twix bars. I love twix and can't wait to eat my prize.I have won four times in eleven days. I am on a roll. I hope the wins keep coming.

I won a bottle of nos energy drink

Yesterday I won a coupon for a bottle of NOS energy drink from NOS's instant win game. I won the coupon the first time I played the instant win game which I believe is a first for me because I can't remember ever winning an instant win prize the first time I have played an instant win game.

I won a coupon for a bottle of tea

On august 1st I won a coupon for a bottle of tea from ITO EN's, How green is you tea instant win game. I thought great I got an instant win on the first day of the month maybe I will win a lot this moth. Bring on the wins.

A sharpie pen I think I won

A sharpie pen I think I won because I don't think is it is a freebie.

I won a pen today

Today I got an email that said I won a BIC Triumph 730R Roller Pen. Way to go me!! It's the first prize I have won in over three weeks. I wonder if I will win any more prizes this month. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

For the past couple of weeks I have

For the past few weeks I have been working throught the web design tutorials on tizag.com. I have finished reading the html, css, and javascript tutorials. And now I want to lean about javascipt frameworks.

I was not interested in using javascipt frameworks until I read a post on coding horror mentioned jquery. So began my quest to learn jquery. Of course I am not sure I will ever make anything useful using it, but I want to try and learn jquery. I also want to use a few other javascript frameworks: meteora, jsAnimation, and XRegExp. I leaned about the last three frameworks from reading either hacker news, dzone, or reddit. Let the fun begin.

I won three times in June

I won four tickets to a six flags theme park, a coupon for a jar of salsa, and a one hundred dollar gift card. Not to bad considering that I did not think I would get a win at all last month. This year I have not won nearly as many prizes as I won last year so hopefully the wins will pick up, but if they don't I have lots of fun entering sweepstakes.

It's been a while since my last post

In my last post I wrote that I wanted to write one or two posts a week, well it has been almost a month since that post. So much for that idea. So I decided not to worry about how many times I post on my blog. Instead of saying I will post once a day or twice a week, I will post when ever I want to.

Also in my last post I wrote that I have nothing interesting to write about, well it is true I don't have anything interesting to write about, but I won't let that stop me from blogging. It may stop people from reading, but It wont stop me from blogging, no siree!!

I want to post one or twice a week on my blog instead of once a day so I have more time to lean what I want to learn. I would like to post every day, but I don't have anything interesting to write. So I should concentrate on leaning how to program and making things with blender. The things I want to lean are:

1. html


2. css


3. javascript


4. php


5. xml


6. mysql


7. Make game for stella the atari 2600 emulator


8. Blender


9. The gimp


10. python

I don't know how much of that stuff I will be able to lean, but I want to lean the basics of all those things.

Some atari games I enjoyed playing

Today I want to talk about some of the atari 2600 games I enjoyed playing. I am not sure of the exact names of some of the games, but I'll write the post anyway. My favorite game was volleyball. I could play that game for hours it's so fun. Why I like it I don't know.

My next favorite game was donkykong. The sound effects were great. And my next favorite game was battlezone. I can't remember much about battlezone either, but I do remember there was a yellow plane that would always destroy my tank.

Some other 2600 games I played were: baseball, E.T, pitfall, space invaders, pac man, frogger. I was not that good at any of the atari 2600 games although I did enjoy playing them.

And silly goes on and on

Continuing with what I wrote yesterday about wanting to learn one programming language. I want to focus on learning php and javascript along with mysql so I can make a website. I also want to lean batari basic and DSAM so I can write atati 2600 games to put on my website.

In other words I want to focus on learning more about web design. I want to lean things besides the programming languages that are used on the web.Things like typography, color theory or whatever else I need to know about web design. I have a lot to lean, but if I focus maybe I will get something accomplished.

I have written all this before, broken record

I know I have written this before, but I want to start making programs that do something useful. Right now I still go from programming language to programming language. From tutorial to tutorial and never seem to accomplish anything.

Sometimes I think I will never be able to make anything useful, but maybe if I work hard I can eventually make a program. But first I need to stick with a programming language long to lean it. Today I was thinking I've had my computer for four almost five years now. What if I would have stuck with one programming language and learned that for the past few years. If I would have done that I think I would be able to write a useful program.

I don't think it's to late for me to become a programmer, but I need to decide what I want to do and stick with it instead of deciding what I want to lean and then changing my mind a few days after I make a decision to learn a certain programming language. I hope by this time next year I will have learned how to program. I hope I can do it.
