CES 2012

Psywar — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:09:55 +0000

This is quite a bit late since CES 2012 was in January. I figured I would still post of my thoughts and what all I got to experience.

The Consumer Electronic Show is held yearly in Las Vegas. This year I was invited to go by OverclockersClub.com and it was a hell of an experience. This was my first time in Las Vegas and the city is very amazing and beautiful (for the most part lol.). CES was just huge and I did not get to see everything. Tons of companies some you never heard of and some very familiar. While I did enjoy CES very much I was however a bit disappointed with it. I was expecting to see more from the companies I know and love. Seagate had a booth at CES, but they had nothing really going on at the booth. In the booth itself was 2 desktop PC’s setup with a game you could play and that was it. A ton of the other stuff at CES this year mostly consisted of companies who made iPod/iPhone/Android/Phone cases. So in that whole aspect of CES it was disappointing to me.

Nvidia, however had a great booth. They had on display a bunch of it’s new 3D equipment and also it’s Tegra 3 chip. I got to talk with a Representative and he explained to me what they planned on doing with the chip and how they were going to start looking at using the chips in our future automobiles. I took a video of it and posted it on my YouTube account.

Also at that same booth Nvidia had the Tesla Model S on display. Such a sexy, sexy car. Then outside of CES they had a car booth with a Lambo and Audi.

Another company that really impressed me was Qualcomm. We went through the companies booth and they showed us it’s new Snapdragon S4 processors that will be in our future phones and tablets. They are pretty hardcore processors. Qualcomm allowed us to play with one of it’s tablets that had a First Person Shooter game installed on it. The game ran super smooth but was a bit difficult to get the hang on since it was played directly on the touchscreen. Qualcomm said the tablets and phones using this setup can handle up to an 8 user game. Pretty sweet and sexy technology.

One other video I want to post is not from my YouTube account it is from the OverclockersClub.com YouTube account.
The Zotac Vapor Phazed PC. This thing was pretty dang sweet! It was a PC that was submerged in liquid to keep it cool.

If you are interested in reading more about CES 2012 please check out the OverclockersClub.com Review of CES 2012. I took part in helping of writing the articles. The link will include new products you should see this year from different company’s, video’s, pictures, and of course BOOTH BABES!

Finally I would like to give thanks to OverclockersClub.com (Dave) for allowing me to tag along with them and experience this truly awesome event! I appreciate it and it will be an experience I will never forget!

Activity Update.

Psywar — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:33:26 +0000

So I officially started my diet/fitness routine this week.
I cannot say I did a whole lot, but I did end up start eating better. I have been staying pretty close to 1100 calories a day. People have been telling me it is not really safe and you will end up gaining all the weight you lost back once you go off this routine. Well I do know the later is a true statement, but what I plan on doing is once I hit the weight I am looking for I will gradually increase my calorie intake little by little. Thus not gaining all of the weight I lost back.

So what have I been up to?
I started walking after work. I have been doing about 2 miles a day. Mostly on the treadmill just because the weather outside has not been all the great. I have to deal with the cold all day at work so anytime I can avoid being cold I do.

So far this week I have lost 3lbs.

That is about it for now. Until next week!

Weight Management in 2012

Psywar — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:05:13 +0000

I am looking forward to 1/16/2012.
I will be starting my exercise and diet routine back up again.

Before the Fall College Semester I weighted in at 178lbs. After an entire semester of stress I am up to 220lbs.

I will again use my webpage to track my progress. I will keep track of my activities and give a run down of what I am doing and using to help shed the weight.
Here are my current measurements as of 1/7/2012:

Weight: 220lbs
Waist: 40 1/2 inches
Belly: 46 inches
Left Bicep: 16 inches
Right Bicep: 15 1/2 inches

Goals:

175lbs
30 inch Waist
28-30 inch Belly
20inch Left/Right Bicep
Rebuild my Stamina (I would like to be able to hike up a steep hill with out losing my breath lmao!
~~Become a Stealthy Ninja who Crushes his Enemies with his trusty Katana~~

Ultimately I would like to be down to 155-160lbs. That seems a bit unrealistic though and I think would end up taking more than a whole year to achieve this.
I will try for this though and hopefully eventually hit it. I just do not think it is realistic in 2012.

Supplements:

I will do my best to keep the use of any supplements to a minimum.
What I will continue to buy and use is going to be Omega-3 (aka. Fish Oil) and Whey Protein.. I like the Fish Oil because I feel it improves my mood. Keeps me from being depressed. If I am not depressed then I am more motivated to want to go out an exercise and actually eat well to better myself. Whey Protein is almost a necessity for anyone trying to lose weight IMO. The Protein makes you feel full and it also keeps your body burning because of how long it takes for your body to actually digest the Protein.

Here is a break down of what I am starting out with. (Below is what will be taken on a daily basis)

Omega-3: 2,000mg
Whey Protein: ~<50 grams (This will probably vary)
Garlic Pills: 600mg
Glucomannan: 3450mg (30mins before meals)
Green Tea Extract: 2 cups of Green Tea/day.

(Note: Green Tea is known and proven to be a great source of weight management/loss. You can buy Green Tea Extract Pills, but I enjoy drinking Green Tea so I am going that way.)

That pretty much sums up the supplements I will be using. I plan on walking/jogging at least 2 miles every day. Also every other day I will probably pick up the curl-bar and dumbbells and doing some reps with those. I will also do a series of push-ups. Possibly sit-ups. I have read though that sit-ups usually give you more grief then they are actually worth.

The Supplement Glucomannan is supposed to help make you feel full before a meal so you do not eat as much. I doubt I will buy another bottle once the first bottle is done.
I am using it in hopes that it does do this job and I do not end up with tummy aches and tummy rumblings because my body thinks I am still hungry.

One other tip I will remind myself of, and anyone who could possibly read this. It is very important that 1 day a week you go off your diet and eat what you feel like eating.

Cookies, Chips, Pizza, etc..
When you go on a diet your body will go into some sort of “Starvation Mode” and it will stop burning fat because you are not consuming calories like you had been in the past.
Eating/Splurging once a week will fool your body into not going in to that “Starvation Mode” and allow you to keep burning fat instead of storing it.

Just a little tip I thought should be known.

Well I think that is all for now! Good luck to you all! Good luck to myself!

LET’S DO THIS!

Blah Blah Updates!

Psywar — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:17:45 +0000

Let’s see!

Since I last posted here my Xbox had failed me! Though thanks to my incredible awesomeness I was able to get the Xbox Fixed and it is still currently working like a charm!
I do find it very funny though because I do not really use the Xbox at all to play games. I use it to stream my Media from my PC to my 32inch LCD TV haha!

Here is one of my Fav. Pictures from the Xbox Fix:

Sexy Sexy Green-ness! Oh yeah!

I also have Rooted my Android Device (HTC Evo 4G):
I finally got it customized to the way I like it and then HTC the other day goes and releases a new Update which Removed the FPS Cap on the Phone.
So now I am waiting for the Current Theme I am using with my ROM to be updated to the new HTC Software Version so I can do a nice Upgrade on my Phone.

I am considering waiting though, I may end up reflashing a new Kernel on my Phone since I will be heading out to California in October for Blizzcon!
I was thinking about making sure I could take some nice 720HD Videos on my Camera and make sure they turned out halfway decent.
I read up on some of the Kernels I can flash on my phone and I have one in mind that I think will do the job very nicely.

So I am thinking here in a week or so I will backup the phone and swap everything over to the new ROM/Kernel and then give it a go and do some Video Testing and see how it turns out!
I will try and remember to post an update to this!

As for the Contact Juggling thing! I am still working with it, I have not really learned anything cool and or worth posting/showing a video for!
I will though as soon as I am able to do something pretty badass looking!

Contact Juggling

Psywar — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 16:11:06 +0000

So I decided to take up / try out Contact Juggling.

The idea of some of the Contact Juggling moves is to make it seem as if the ball is staying in a stationary spot or floating while your hands move around the ball.

It is truly amazing some of the tricks/moves I have seen people do and come up with.
Hopefully I will be able to be as good as some of these people some day!

I have been working on a move called the “Enigma” for about a day now.
I created and uploaded a YouTube video of me trying / practicing it.

Take a look if you would like!

Chuck Contact Juggling

If you want to see some real good people doing this just type in contact juggling in youtube.
I think if the first video you see is in Black and White that is a great one to watch.

Dentist Time.

Psywar — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:09:01 +0000

It’s that time again! Yeah the time pretty much everyone dreads!

Going to the Dentist for the 6 Month Check up!
I guess I cannot say I really dread it but I definitely have better things to do with my time then go to the Dentist.

I have not had a Cavity in over 15 years, but I am dreading my next few visits.
My Wisdom teeth have finally grown in and the time to have them removed is upon me.

Woke up yesterday and sat down to have a bite to eat and all of a sudden a very sharp pain shot through my body starting at what feels like Tooth #1 on the right side of my jaw.

Well oddly enough my 6month cleaning is Scheduled for Sept. 16th, I did however email the Office last night and tell them about my situation.
Last time I was in the Dr. wanted me to have the Wisdom teeth pulled anyways but he told me it was not urgent.
So I have held off on doing so. Right now I am debating to wait for 2 weeks for the Scheduled cleaning appt. or do I just go on ahead and make an appt. with the Oral Surgeon and get these two buggers removed and hope that is the cause of the pain.

Like I said above I did email the Dentist Office and told them whats up, and I did ask the opinion on what I should do.
I really do not look forward to having these removed. From pretty much everyone I have talked to it was not a pleasant experience and with me working in a -30 deg. freezer I think I will be in a bit more pain while trying to breath in at work.

Well for now I am pretty much just bearing with the pain and not eating anything to “hard”.

Well now I am off to go lay in bed and possibly watch Dark Blue! w00t!

Schwans Ghost!

Psywar — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 06:20:28 +0000

So I have along with many of my other current and past employees have though that this place is haunted. We have all seen and heard many things working here.
Recently it had gotten a bit more intense. Kyle (my brother) and I will be working in the freezer and when we get up in to an isle we will notice individual frozen cheese block will be laying in the middle of the isle.
The fun part is it was not sitting there when we pulled the previous load. Its also one of those things you cannot overlook either.
If you happen to miss it the cart would not. Meaning the cart you put product on would hit the cheese stopping the cart in it’s tracks lol!

It is definitely interesting! We always hear stuff fall but when we go and look nothing is on the floor. You always have this feeling like someone is watching you when you get down on the ice cream end of the freezer.

It’s pretty intense sometimes!

Psywar — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:01:02 +0000
