SAT, GED, and EMT.

     So one thing to know about Homeschoolers, mainly Un-schoolers like me is we don't take test well. Why? Well in our style of study we don't go to a lecture, write a paper, take a test, and move on. We immerse our self into the subject until we master what we want to know; Life is our test, every day our world challenges the knowledge we absorb. No test, no papers. Now in the "real" world, I think this style of learning is very effective. However, in the academic world... Test are very important, it's what they base who you are off. you're SAT, GPA, MCAT if you want to be a doctor like me. All these test you take to gauge you're knowledge, how quickly you learn, and how well you can take test. Seeing as I want to be a Doctor and I've never had an official test or class until two years ago... yea, now I have to cram... A lot. I signed up for the SAT on May 5th, I've got decent reading and writing skills, but my mathematics is lacking to say the l

Rants of the half awake young adult.

     Okay! I've been up since like 4:30 because I thought I heard someone messing with the cars outside. By the time I put on pants they were ether gone or a figment of my imagination... I'm still wide awake, which I hate. What Else should I do other then blog while on twitter, Tumblr, And wishing instagram would publish it's android app already! (See what I did there? this is called an Introduction paragraph in the academic world.)      So I have a Twitter, Clearly. My twitter Handle is @Nikolace  I tweet a lot, not an annoying amount but enough, I'm trying to get more followers (15 at the moment) But it isn't really working all that well to be honest. So I've been reading about how to better use twitter to connect with people, I know there are cool people out there! Including on twitter! No, I don't mean Lady Gaga. Jeez. So if you wanna follow me on twitter feel free! I'm just tweeting away like a little bird. yup, That wasn't a very well construc

Because cutting digital rope is only so fun.

Okay so adventuring on the Internet today I found this little thing. It's called Sphero Now to it's credit this is America, with obesity and Iphones both becoming a norm It only was a matter of time before a made a ball that was remote controlled by our Iphones... Can you feel the sarcasm sticking to every pixel of your screen right now? yea. Now I will admit I think the idea is kinda cool and the creators actually made API's for it so third party groups can make infinitely cooler apps. That take advantage of the built in LED, gyroscopic, and accelerometer.  So looking at videos and such on the Sphero reminded me of a video Phill Defranco did about the AR.drone 2.  Which is actually cool. Creeping was never so easy! The AR.drone 2 is a flying quad copter That has a HD camera on the front... Which could be used for a multitude of things, getting dramatic camera angles, exploring the world around you, or the girls next doors bed room. What? No. that's compl

"The Hatchery" Teaser.

Alright, So I have been told that the video I did for the teaser was to fast/ to "wordy" so here is the actual text of the background of "The Hatchery" Over ten-thousand years ago a battle was fought that would change this planet forever. The Insect race known only as "The Swarm" tried to infest earth... and nearly succeeded... The only thing that stopped them was the fabled Atlantians. When conventional methods of war failed against The Swarm they had no choice but to purge the earth with fire... The Atlantians took no more then a dozen humans with them to Atlantis. As soon as Atlantis was safely on the bottom of the ocean, Hell was unleashed on earth.  After the purging of the swarm the earth was left charred... dead. Even with all the knowledge and technology of the Atlantians it took almost a thousand years to nurse the earth back to health. By then mankind had grown into the tens of thousands. The Atlantians spread man across the globe even bui

Life Legally.

     March 19th! I've been 18 for a whole day and haven't killed myself! Which is pretty decent if you know me... I kinda abandoned my blog for YouTube; I'm still making videos ( Link to my vids ) albeit slowly and YouTube refuses to upload for me right now... I'm still working on it though! I'm going to be serious about it now...ish.      So I abandoned my blog because I was blogging for the wrong reasons, I wanted to make money on things like ad sense. which is fine and dandy but I'm not that popular at all so I really need to focus on just writing. So I'm going to use this blog as a gate way for just writing; Be it fantasy, work related, school, life. I want to write, photograph, and video my life more. So I am going to use this blog as a base to share those pictures, ideas, stories, and videos. Most of them are going to be pointless but they should be interesting, I think.      So yea! I hope I stay with it and people enjoy it!
