The Advent and Decline of the Toaster Oven


Imagine a world where you can make toast and bagel bites using the same apparatus! What a wonder that would be! Well, good news for those of you with contrived wishes like this is that you are currently living in that dream world. The toaster oven is here, and has been here, for awhile. Its like a toaster, and a small oven in one little box. Being from the United States I was surprised when I happened upon one of these contraptions in my house. In any other country these are outdated pieces of hardware. The toaster oven was a combination that just didn't quite work, it couldn't capture the same whimsy of the spring up toaster, or the devastating heating capacity demonstrated by a conventional oven. The sad truth about the toaster oven is that, in trying to capture the operations of the two kitchen implements we know and love, it failed miserably and came out partially done, not unlike whatever you attempt cook in it.

When will you die?

 I warn you ahead of time: Don't try this if you tend to get scared- I mean, worried easily by these type of things. You have been warned, so if something happens to you, I hold no responsibility over it. 

                                                             So, 
                                         Proceed At Your Own Risk.
                                                           Enjoy.


This, is "The Death Clock." It is one of the many sites which provide you with an estimated time of when you will probably die, and how much time you have left, based on your age, BMI, and current health status (such as if you are a smoker or not). Apparently, I'll die in July 22nd, 2071. Yay, I guess.
If you're worrying about security risks, don't worry. The information you put here is basic, and nothing really personal, except your date of birth. Though, if you still worry, then don't try it.
                                Point is, if you want to know when you might die...
                                                         Try it out.
                                  By the time I finished typing this, I had 
                                           1,844,044,553 seconds left to live.
                                                         Awesome.

People Are Awesome 2013

People are just pure awesome! We can do many things, such as, stunts, world records, "impossible things", etc. The reason why my title is named People Are Awesome 2013 is because there was a video in 2011 and 2012 of the same topic, but different things done (in that year). For example in people are awesome 2013, there is only videos of awesome things that happened this year. 
Anyways, I will show you a video of people are awesome 2013, below. 
Enjoy it, and thank me later ;)

Are you a Hipster?

If you do not what a hipster is, I am going to tell you. A hipster is a boring a dude with a beard that by listening to old music they think they are cool, and they use but really really skinny jeans, also they use twitter. Most of the hipsters are around the ages of 15 and 30 years old. Most of them live in their momma's basement, those are the ones that are really pathetic. They also use mustaches, because by putting mustaches they think they look cool and funny, but they don't. So all this things that I just mentioned is what a hipster is, if you are suffering some symptoms of this, please watch the next video, we don't a hipster around the school thinking they look cool by wearing really skinny jeans. So

Are you a Hipster?

Prepare to open your eyes to the luxurious and latest version of the Maserati GranTurismo series. Maserati began the GrandTurismo production line in 2008, releasing the MC and sports package versions of the car. The car's speed is exceptionally fast, however, not as fast as the Ferrari 458, other than the fact that the Ferrari is around $100,000 more.

The engines available for the car is the V6 and V8 engines, with these powerful monster engines, the car only rages and roars an amazing sound. Likewise, think about a supercar making a tremendous motivating revved up engine, now multiply its sound by ten, thousand. In case any of you ever grows up to be a successful corporate bigshot, this is the car to go! Let me know what you guys think! This is a nice car isn't it? Would you buy this car in the future if you had the money? I know I definitely will.

OH JOLLY RORY

BY: Ricardo Quinones Wilson

This commercial has made millions for the Nike company and I want to know how you feel about it? Probably most of you have no interest for the sport of golf. The thing is let me tell you that this commercial could be the start of a golf enthusiasm for many people. It is short only one minute long but as the saying says brevity and understanding is the key to success. What this commercial does is that it catches the viewers attention through a fiction image. This commercial was launched to welcome the sponsorship by Nike, to Rory Mcklroy, the player in red. The contract was probably a couple of million dollars but definitely worth it for the nike company. The commercial basically shows us how good of a golfers the Nikey players are. For those of you who do not know who Rory Mcklroy is, he is one of the youngest players in professional golf. What makes him so unique is his quality in the golf game being outstanding. He is currently in the top ten best players of the world. I would like you to share your comments on the video and Rory;)

Iphone cases





Iphone Cases


Iphone cases are for protecting an iphone from bump, scratches, and bruises. But have you ever thought of an iphone case with personality. you can now get an iphone case with any shape or size. Mine for example is an oversized stitch with bendable ears, or you can get a stuffed animal case. I think that the iphone cases are awesome because they tell about you personality and what you like. there are also awsome ones for ipads and ipads minis. Try them all!!!
