What is a Renaissance man?  By definition it is "A man who has broad intellectual interests and is accomplished in areas of both the arts and the sciences".  How in this way could I possibly be a man of this stature?  Well aren't video games and Computers considered arts and sciences?  I believe they are, as a teenager of the 21st century I have mastered both the computer and many video games!  Over the 10 plus years that i have been playing video games I assume I have conquered atleast 100 different video games as well as explored the infinite web that the computer provides. Therefore in a way I guess you can call your boy a renaissance man. 

ALICE PROGRAMMING
After a week of programming with ALICE, i have learned to like it a lot.  It is very easy to use after a few times of trying it.  even though it is not one of the most difficult or advanced programming systems, it is still very good.  I am a simple minded person who knows nothing about technology and how it works.  With ALICE it makes me feel a little bit more intelligent when it comes to technology.  That is why i like it a lot.

   

BOSTON SPORTS

This weekend was a huge weekend for Boston sports teams.  The patriots made a dramatic come from behind win with 0:05 left on the clock.  Tom Brady mad a perfect pass to Kenbrell Thompkins, shown in the top left photo.  The Red Sox also made a late comeback in the 8th inning of the second game of the ALDS playoffs.  Down 5-1 David "big papi" Ortiz with the bases loaded hit a Grand Slam to tie the game up.  Then in the bottom of the ninth with the game tied and a man on third, Jarrod Saltalamachia hit a single to win the game in dramatic fashion.   Finishing off a great sunday for Boston sports fans.

Video games have become not only a part of my life by every ones life.  If someone tells you that they have not played a video game they are lying!  for me nintendo 64 was the first video game system I owned.  The video game systems would not get any worse as graphics and and games become more real. Playstation and PS2, leading up to now where i own an XBOX 360.  the games are becoming more and more amazing and it doesnt seem like it is going to stop.
