A Farewell to Arms: Book One

The first book of A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, in my opinion, might take a while for anyone to get into but once you have a clear understanding of what the author is trying to say, some of the more intricate parts of the book become obvious and easy to recognize.  The brashness of some of the more abrupt sentences can often trick the reader if they are not careful and many of the finer intricacies can simply be looked over.  This is often true with the symbolism used to describe the war happening around the main character, Fredrick Henry.

VOCALOID

Back in 2004 the Yamaha Corporation started development on a voice synthesizer program that could be used to create music by simply typing in lyrics and putting them to a melody.  This program was released to the Japanese public on November 5, 2004 with Crypton Future Media's "Meiko" program, a Japanese female voice, and later in February 17,  2006 with "Kaito", a Japanese male voice.

These programs are called VOCALOIDs, a combination of Vocal and Android

Book Review

Dead Space: Martyr is the prequel to the video game Dead Space™ by EA and Visceral Games.  Set 200 years prior to the events of the first Dead Space™, the events of Dead Space: Martyr focus around the story of a geophysicist named Michael Altman as he discovers an anomaly deep within the Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan Peninsula.

The plot goes deep into the psychological aspect of humanity and the profound effect the discovery of Michael Altman has on the psyche of the people involved around said anomaly.

Baby Daddy

My name is Samuel Windsor, last week  was told by my mother about my father whom I never met, seeing as they were divorced before I was born. This topic always seems to make her feel embarrassed for some reason or another. Though I had only been told stories of him that were extremely vague and didn't tell me much about him, as in where he worked or some of his hobbies before the divorce, that was all about to change. My mother had decided it was time to mitigate the vagueness of these tales and meet him in person.

I never thought I would ever get to meet him and now I'm glad because my mom, though being very adamant about not telling me, decided I was old enough to learn more about my dad. The next morning after being told that we were going to see my father we packed up the minivan for the long trip from Georgia to Phoenix, Arizona. Of course this was not the only plan we had for this trip, this was also our vacation across the states to see the sites. It only became a trip to see my father when she realized that we'd be passing through Arizona to see the Grand Canyon so she thought it would make sense to get it out of the way.
