Google Wave Invites

I have 10 google wave invites I am willing to give out.

As some of you saw, I got into the Google Wave Beta testing, and have been in it long enough to receive invites I can give out.

Who can get them? Anyone.

Why are you doing this? Just helping spread the word about Google Wave and helping attract visitors.

How do I get this invite? Just comment on this post (anyone can post a comment) and leave a brief reason to why you think you should get a google wave invite and your e-mail. You can also send me an e-mail at Liarliariceonfire@gmail.com.

I will send them out as fast as I can. I will post when all of my invites are sent. I will try to get more invites as time goes on. Please be patient.

Make A Difference Monday

I just found out about something really cool that youtube user MrChiCity3 is doing.

It is called Make A Difference Monday. What he is doing is just doing a act of kindness to make a difference in someone's life.

In video number one (Posted on Nov. 23rd, 2009) he goes to Edna's Restaurant and stands up in the middle of his meal, and informs everyone that he is going to pay for their meal, even suggesting that they order more food. He also has the manager call up all of their waitresses and tips them individually. Each week he will make a new video where he does something to make a difference in someone's day.

If you want to donate to Make A Difference Monday, then head on over to www.snickertees.com and buy any t-shirt to help out.

Here is the video for Make A Difference Monday #1

Fakes in the media

What is wrong with these people...

Recently, Balloon Boy.

New, a girl says she was bitten by a 40 year old man at a twilight showing.

(Picture on right of the alleged Twilight Bite victim)

These people get their 15 seconds of fame, but then they come back down to earth by lying to our media. Now, I am not saying that every news story is a liar, but all of the media concerning younger people is starting to all be hoaxes. This right now is just a rant, but think about it. Should we really lie about stuff to get fame. [I mean, not all do it for fame, but it usually ends up that way.] Or should we mooch of others success by suing the shit out of them and taking everything they have. NO! We should not. Why cant everyone just find a way to make an honest living, and let stuff come as it does. Its not just people or kids, also bands and stuff. Yes, I realize this post is very bitter and uncaring of me, but its about time that these people get what they deserve.

Recap

Ballon Boy: Young kid 'goes up in an aircraft alone' in Colorado, then his parents 'find' him in an attic

Twilighter: A girl claims she was 'bitten' by a man in his 40's at a premier of the showing of new moon.

At least they all are getting what is coming to them.

Balloon Boy's parents are being investigated by the FAA, and also local authorities.

"The local authorities are already investigating Richard and Mayumi Heene for criminal behavior including influencing a public official and the delinquency of a minor."

-from Perez Hilton

Erin Westrate (Twilight Girl) now could be charged with filing a false police report.

Let me know what you think of fakes in the media with a @reply to liariceonfire on twitter.

Stop Animation

Stop Animation - the art of making still life, move. Well, generally speaking that is.

I have been a fan of this type of art for some time now, and I decided to write a blog about it, and show some of my personal favorite stop animation videos.

I am a fan of photography, Not really of people, but of just every day life, or amazing scenery. I love the way it captures the true colors of things and makes them stand out to help you realize how beautiful the world is. Past all of the modern junk like Politics, War, Pollution, and the works, there is a world all of its own. I love photographers that capture that. I also love how this can tie in with stop animation.

Stop animation is also similar to claymation (such as Gumby). Stop animation is usually pictures of things, frame after frame, and when played back, it looks like motion.

Here are some examples.

Some videos can be made to send a message.

Others can be for fun, or to do something you've never done before.

Dear Readers

To all of my readers,

Do not fear that I have forgotten you. I have just been super busy with things around School and such.

I have also been busy working on the new look for Bustyoureardrums and getting the new Mixtapes made.

I should only be busy for the next week or so, then back to full time blogging.

Busy but overall happy,

Twilight...

I read the book over 4 years ago. Then it got popular. Then it got extra popular. Then it just got blown way out of proportion.

I have been alright with the Twilight series for some while, not liking it, but okay with it. But now it has gone too far.

While I was making my breakfast, I decide to stroll through the Best Buy ad. In the movies, I see this..

Someone actually made a movie about Robert Pattinson.

In under 4 years of being a credited actor, he went from being Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter movies, to being one of the number one idol among teens.

Don't just think that I am jumping to conclusions. I loved the books, I watched the first movie, and was disappointed.

Lets backtrack. First twilight was a big hit, making [a rumored] $70.6 mil in its opening week.

The second Twilight movie. SPONSORED BY VITAMIN WATER.

No movie, I repeat, No movie, should be sponsored if its first one made over 70 million on its opening week.

Maybe I'm just being bitter, but Robert Pattinson has sold out big time.

Sitting here blogging about him isin't helping him get any less famous, but in a few years, no one will know who he is.

But thats okay, this blog is barely read by anyone.

If you, for whatever reason, want dirt on any Twilight member, be sure to check out Perez Hilton's website at www.Perezhilton.com.

Updates

Sorry I have not posted in a few days.

Been working on restoring BYED and making mixtapes for the blog.

I plan to be updating more.

Thanks for being patient.

Google Wave

I was one of the lucky people to get into the Google Wave trial, thanks to Corey Wells over at youquoted.com.

After a waiting period of around 3 days for my invite, I opened up google wave to see what I thought was one of the most innovative things I have seen.

Google Wave could be a big hit in schools for posting notes, pictures, or even just asking questions, and posting videos. It features the ability to imbed videos into the 'Wave' and also a playback feature.

Two screenshots from Google Wave: Layout of Google Wave The Question feature in Google Wave

I have not been able to test Google Wave to the fullest yet, but I plan to. The reason for that is...I have no friends who are in the Google Wave preview.

I will get back to you later on with more things on Google Wave. Please be patient until I write a better review for this.

I do know of Google Wave's full potential thanks to a video I saw on the web. (I forgot the original website)

Here is that video:

Comic Con Founder Dead at 76

A very sad thing in the world of comic book fans.

Shel Dorf, the founder of San Diego's annual comic book convention died to kidney failure yesterday.

I myself, watch the Comic-Con coverage back to back when it is on, looking up every game that I see that looks cool.

Though he has passed, Comic-Con will live on forever. I am sure of it. The force is strong with this one.

Bustyoureardrums is back up!

A while back I had a cd review blog called Bustyoureardrums...

Well, I am off of hiatus and now it is back up!

Dear Jack

This post is entitled Dear Jack for one simple reason.

Andrew McMohan started the band Jack's Mannequin in the year of 2004.

But in 2005, Andrew started feeling tired. He decided to visit his doctor.

Andrew was diagnosed with Leukemia.

Dear Jack is the story, his story, about his battle to make a full recovery of his leukemia.

Here are two of the trailers.

Just watching the trailer(s), it gives me shivers, and brings tears to my eyes.

The movie came out yesterday (November 3th, 2009).

In the summer of 2009, I had the once in a lifetime chance to see Jack's Mannequin live. It was an amazing experience to say the least.

Andrew McMohan is truly an inspiration.

TRV$DJAM - Fix Your Face Vol. 1 and 2

This post is going to be half review and half tribute. I will start out with my review

Upon hearing this for the first time, I was instantly impressed. Me being a drummer and Travis Barker being one of my major influences as a drummer. I also have played drums to rap songs for fun just messing around on my set. When I heard this, I clicked with it instantly. Gave it a listen through all the way, then another after that.

These mix tapes are both a solid flow of rap mixes, very well transitioned to one another, showing DJ AM's pure skill, and you can almost feel his passion for it by listening to how well he performs. As with Travis Barker, his skill is very well displayed in this tape. He adds his own touch to all of these songs.

The pure talent of Travis Barker and DJ AM together is insane. I realize I keep on repeating that over and over, but it is true.

I apologize for this being scattered, it just happens that way.

Website

Whelp.

I decided that I also wanted a website for this blog.

So, I made one. Designed it and such.

http://liarliariceonfire.site11.com/

I also set up an e-mail account to contact me directly about the website

wtfitsdaniel@liarliariceonfire.site11.com

(sorry, its a long e-mail.)

(Yes its a sub domain, because I'm cheap and I don't pay for stuff like this.)

Also, I have updated some of the links on the side (to your right)

Check them out.

Poetry In Motion

I realize that the title is very cliche, but nothing else describes it better.

Over the years, I have taken interest in people doing amazing things.

Not like bench pressing 500 points. I don't find that amazing at all.

I mean stuff like Parkour, People doing tricks on bikes, or really just anything that the average person cannot do right off the bat.

What is Parkour?

Parkour, in my own definition, is making art with your body out of everyday objects. That is a bad definition.

Like, I cannot express this form of art with words. I can however demonstrate with video.

Parkour from Christopher Polydoroff on Vimeo.

That video was the best possible way to describe it in less then two minutes.

Other amazing things.

I know you may not think much of it, but Street bikers who do stunts and stuff, have also dedicated a lot of their time (and sometimes life) to perfect this.

To people doing this, keep on doing it. If you do this type of stuff, and want your video up on here, please just send me a link to the video through one of the ways to contact me on the LLIOF Links box on the right. I would be glad to put it up.

I will leave this post with a final video.
