It’s great if you need to capture a quick video an upload it to the web. But that’s where its use ends.

Re: Flushing Tampons down the toilet

Gabriellas ukaurBam — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 07:03:40 -0000

Several years ago a friend of mine told me a story of how foreign
exchange students had been flushing tampons down the toilet and her
school. The pipes eventually got clogged, they burst, and the teachers’
lounge was soaked. That story has always stuck in my mind.

As with all devices you take to SxSW, you’ll want to bring extra
batteries and/or portable battery chargers. If you’re smartphone is your
main camera, then I recommend any of these Duracell USB chargers (they
can charge any USB device).

I do like to make predictions. Almost any prediction anyone makes it
bound to come to fruition… some day. Although, some predictions are more
logical than others.

Some people are born with artistic talents while others may attend an
educational institute (high school, college, vocational) to learn art.
Some may be a hybrid of the two; using education to enhance their
skills.

Re: Idea: Dynamic/Active Alarm Clock

Morgan Flag — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:30:40 -0000

What if an alarm clock on an Internet-connected device that actively
seeked the latest weather, traffic, and event information and altered
the time your alarm sounded depending on that information.

Re: Katy Perry’s Firework inspired this

Morgan Flag — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:30:15 -0000

That appalled me. Not because it was about two girls kissing (children
should learn about as much of the world and various cultures as soon as
they can), but because they had listened to the song enough
times to know the lyrics — at least the chorus, anyway. Exposing
children to top 40 music is a story for another day though…

Re: Australian Adventures with Rachel

My return flight was only valid for a year, so it was my plan to spend
some quality time with my family before uprooting my Australian life and
moving to the USA.

Morgan Flag — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:30:10 -0000

Note: The fact that foreign exchange students were to blame isn’t
relevant. Perhaps in their country the pipes can handle such things
flushed down them. In most countries — especially older ones — this
isn’t the case. Also, just as many Australian students could have been
held accountable; it’s hard to prove.

I recommend changing the time (and date, if necessary) as soon as possible. If that’s now, then go for it. Personally, I change mine when the airline flight attendant says “prepare for landing”.

to zoom in and out so quickly (far quicker than I’ve seen any camera
under $10,000 zoom). I’m still indifferent about video in a DSLR, but
the DOF and zooming would definitely be a plus!

Re: Why I wouldn’t use a Dating Service

Gabriellas ukaurBam — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 03:29:04 -0000

By ‘interesting’ I don’t mean ‘hot girls’ in particular groups or
anything. I, literally, mean one group had more interesting
conversations or activities than other groups at a particular time. (In
our senior years many groups bonded together through the game of
handball.)

Re: Hottest Geek Girls

Gabriellas ukaurBam — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 03:28:59 -0000

Too many misconceptions are throwing off the curve, and people need to
understand that receiving a 300 page phone bill does not make a girl
geeky. It makes her a stereotype that is far older, and less
respectable.

What: If the word “camp” is in the event name, then it would literally be a camp. We go camping out in the wilderness. Everyone gets in touch with themselves. Everyone does what they love.

Re: Be Giddy on Twitter

All too often I see depressed and/or negative tweets on Twitter. Some
people I follow are more prone to this than others. Some try to cover
it up. Some don’t.

Re: Cleaning out all the “stuff”

Gabriellas ukaurBam — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 04:21:50 -0000

My Mom — whom is super-awesome — told me that I would have a much
clearer head (and a fresh start) if I just clean and organise everything
in my bedroom. That way (when I return for visits) I won’t return to a
cluttered room.

America I’d easily learn how to get somewhere after navigating it once
or twice (by foot OR car). Moreover, I suppose a turn-by-turn GPS
navigator would be helpful if I was alone or road tripping with someone
in an unknown land.
