Universal Day of the Jedi
|
I just found out about the UDOTJ and I am gearing up. May 25th will be the 31 year anniversary of the Star Wars saga and that's a big accomplishment. According to the Day of the Jedi site and many others the fun will not end any time soon. More merchandise, movies and games are to come. I am excited to see the Clone Wars movie coming to theaters this year, but only after Indiana Jones makes his illustrious return. So hang on tight... this is a big year for Lucas and the gang. I can't wait.

Atlanta Braves to Win it all
|
Well.... it's really interesting to me that in many of the sports sites out there (ESPN, FOX Sports) actually have my Braves winning it all this year. This surprises me because I have never really seen sports analysts give the Braves the respect due. They are one of the most consistent contenders every year for the last 16 years. Their pitching staff has had its trials but always has been good. So I don't see how this year is any different than any other year. Why didn't they say the Braves could take the title 2 years ago? Granted this year we will have one of the best pitching staffs in the NL and with Chipper Jones, Mark Teixeira, Brian McCann, and Jeff Francoeur in the lineup it will be one exciting year.
But baseball is a marathon, so I don't expect much more than Atlanta to show the consistency they always have had. Good pitching, decent hitting, and always a chance to come back and win a game or two. Hopefully Interleague play will not be our downfall this year. If it wasn't for that, we could have won our 16th Division title in a row. Oh well... GO BRAVES!!

Ken and Elicia
|
Well... i am getting married for all those who didn't know. Our wedding day is May 16th, 2009 and that should be a great day. I know God has truly blessed me in my life and I would have never expected to have such a amazing woman in my life.
Well... let's see besides that, I have been really busy and haven't had time to blog that much. I am on Facebook now. Uhm... I have seen a couple of movies (The Game Plan and Cloverfield). I feel bad it's taken this long to blog about anything. So much time wasted... I am going to resurrect this thing for sure.

Turner County High School
|
|
I was reading Digg today and saw a link to this CNN article about Turner County High School. According to the article this year they had their first integrated prom. Which begs the question for me: How many other counties still have segregated proms, and why? I am just awestruck that in todays society, things like this still go on. After reading on, I find out that some of the students still attended a "white" prom while others weren't allowed to go to the integrated one.
Why? Because "[their parents] don't agree with being with the colored people". This for me is the #1 thing that scares me the most. Society today has a lot of things that are going wrong and racism is one that is supposedly "better today than it was yesterday". I disagree. I feel like it's worse because it's not as obvious. Things like this only remind me of that fact. I really wish that someday Dr. King's Dream could come true for everybody in America; the country that is best geared to make this dream a reality. However, the more things change the more they really are the same I guess.
I guess there is a lighter side to this whole thing and that is there is hope for the future. A vast majority of American youth today don't know life segregated and the future will be much brighter that way. I think the problems that society faces with racism today will be different tomorrow, but I don't think it will ever go away. I just pray that God can help America make a society that closely resembles Heaven because in Heaven, there will be people of all races praising God and worshiping together.

What a name I have!
|
|
Well... I have done it a few times before, but I was reading digg today and stumbled on this article about Finding your "Google Twin", meaning going to google, type in your name and read the results. Like I said... I have done this before, but I guess I never really paid attention to the results until today. After extensive research, I have found out that there are a least 1,910,000 references to Kenneth Ross on the Internet, and the top two are both math professors. Crazy huh? I am not too far behind... my site is ranked 9th on the list :) Yeah that's right, top 10 baby!! Check it out for yourself if you want
On a more personal note... I did google my girlfriend's name and there are only 10,500 references... The first two actually mention her!! I am soo proud. She is truly one of a kind... and I like her a lot :)

Apple Headaches
|
|
So... I have had some trying times with the Apple support lately, which is a surprise to me. I have had nothing but good experiences with Apple Care until now, but all of that changed this week. I have had to go to the Apple Store twice to get support on fixing my issues with my battery and power adapter. When I finally figured out what was all wrong I had to replace a battery that Apple replaced because of a recall for me 5 months ago and my power adapter.
Why would Apple replace a recalled battery with a battery that holds a charge for 5 months? AND why would they refuse to replace a faulty battery, that they sent me after only 5 months of regular use? All I can say is that's ridiculous, Apple covers every new battery with a standard 1 year warranty and refurbished ones only have a 90 days... Why give out a substandard product and expect people to just deal with it?
Bottom Line: I bought Apple Care to be supported, and I shouldn't have to spend hours of my time over several days, to end up spending $200 to fix my laptop.

Apple Store!!!!
|
|
SOOOOO.... what can I say but Apple is offically in Omaha and it's the greatest thing in the world. I am so happy that the Apple store is offically here and it's almost hard to believe that we have one so close. I can remember the day like yesterday... but really it was a week and 3 days ago...
I was camping outside of the store waiting for it to open. There was about 10-12 of us initially and it grew to about 20 at about 4:00 A.M. By 8:30 there were at least 150 people in line and by 9:35ish (the store opened at 10:00) the line hooked around Village Pointe and almost reached the parking lot. At last count, there were 300 people in line waiting for it to open. My brother and I were numbers 4 and 5. Eleven hours of waiting outside truly paid off and the moment we got to go in, I was still in shock. I thought it was a dream, but it really wasn't It was such a great morning. So far I have manged to go on 4 more occations, and I can say without a doubt it's just simply an amazing store. I can't wait to see what happens to the culture of computers now that we have an Apple Store. September 23rd, 2006; this is an unforgetable day in Omaha history.

MacBook!!!!
|
Well... all I can say is wow. Apple has really outdone themselves this time. The new MacBook is a thing of beauty. I am blogging about this so I don't end up buying one, but yeah I can't believe this thing. 5X faster than the old iBooks and a stunning black look. Lenovo, watch out cause Apple has definately put themselves on the map with this laptop. Thinkpads have nothing on this. By far the best looking laptop I have seen. Of course nothing can top the iMac G4 when it came out.

Well... saw this on Digg: Honda Civic UK commercial. Click on the watch button and check it out. This is amazing! It reminds me a lot of the Honda Cogs commercial. Why can't some of the commecials in the US be like the ones in the UK?
