New post displays on twitter (try 2)

Trying this a second time. Try 2!

Well, this worked. What I did was I created an account with twitterfeed @ twitterfeed.com. It's a service that allows you to share your rss feeds on your twitter or facebook pages. Knowing that my blogs on blogger can be followed as rss feeds by using the url to the phillyeah blog, I pasted the site URL in twitterfeed and now any new post is posted to my twitter account, updated by the half-hour.

Neat.

New post displays on twitter, following via my twitter account

I'm looking at ways to have my blog automatically tweet on my twitter page. I subscribed as the first and only follower of my blog :), and after connecting my twitter account to this blog, I'm hoping the posts will automatically post on my twitter page.

Here's to this working!

That didn't work, I set up the connection between twitter and Google Friend Connect, but the actual subscription to the blog failed. To retest, I've now edited the post hoping at least the edit will pop up on twitter.

But that was yesterday... A game on life

For all of you still learning about life, walking through life's path, learning from the past (that means everyone), this is a piece of art for you.

Have you ever watched the movie l'Auberge Espagnole, with Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou? Or l'Horloge Biologique (its sequel)? This game is the closest thing I've seen to those movies, in this art form, that of video games.

Follow this link and you'll see what I mean.

Also, the music from this game kind of reminds me of one of the most enchanting songs I heard in a video game in the past. I actually heard it first about 7 years ago when I was just browsing the internet, not in a game, but while watching a video on life that some guy made. He had used the track as background music for the story. The track is from a game called Magician, which was released on the NES in 1991. Mind you I've never played. Point being, the song is awesome, and I that's what I wanted to share with you all.

Here is the tune, written by a guy called Neil Baldwin. You can find his blog here.

Google Buzz and dreams

Today, I am very excited about Google Buzz! First reason is that I never really got into twitter, second is that I'm already pretty much sold out to gmail. So, to have the two in one is like heaven for me.

ROCKS! :)




Now, this is completely unrelated, but I really wanted to share this. I feel kind of bored with celebrities now a days, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just not a kid anymore, I get less swept away by something marvelous. But the fact is, I find a lot of today's popular icons boring. Now, this is what came to my mind in the thought process:

When is the last time we saw a legend like this in action. Maybe I'm going too far, but I haven't felt the awe I remember from those days in a long time.

As for my dream. I made a weird dream yesterday. I dreamt of 3 flags. One way high, the other was a little lower, but high, and the third was very low. I think they were the American flag, the Canadian flag (or indian flag) and the Russian flag. All of a sudden, the Russian flag starts going up. I was watching that with my brother and my dad, and we were all surprised. We were like "hey, they're coming back aye?" :)



Yes, I do realize this is totally random!






Enjoy!

Projecting myself

Introduction

How I intend to behave, and the projection of that intent into actual behavior, are two very separate qualities. Let's take a brief look at this subject in a bit of detail. To do so, let's take an example from the work place. At my job, when I am given a command to perform a given task, I may, in my inner mind, intend to respond to a command with a semi-high pitched, assertive voice, in order to convey motivation. The way I actually respond, however, may come in a sharp and squeeky voice, conveying rather a stress or discomfort. Was that what I was trying to achieve. Could it be considered a minor failure?

What it boils down to

The question is, am I content with how I intend to behave. In the above example, I would say yes. I want to convey to my superior an attitude of motivation, control and assertion. In the case where my intent is what I truly desire, then I should in turn adjust the parameters that affect my actual behavior in order to match my intent as best as possible. These parameters are generally physical, bodily, and the tuning is generally very pragmatic or basic. On the other hand, if I am not comfortable with my intent, then I must reevaluate it in light of what I truly desire.

Tuning the body - Childhood

Now, in the case where my intent has been judged true to myself, where I am pleased with it, the idea is to tweak the body, with regards to all variables, for it to move or behave accordingly. For instance, when a child learns how to move, it attempts to match an objective with an action. Take a very basic objective, where a child is looking at an apple, and tries to lay hold of it. Depending on the child's age, the level of success it observes will be lesser or greater: what the child intends to do may or may not be achieved through its resulting actions.

Tuning the body - Adulthood

We as adults may disregard the experiences of a child as lesser, because most adults have overcome the rudimentary challenges of getting in touch with the 3D world. However, our social challenges as adults are no less basic. The example which was brought up earlier, relating to the projection of our voice, is so basic that it almost seems absurd to even consider it. But that is why it must be considered, because it is quite easily overlooked, yet is so equally fundamental when it comes to social successes. Indeed, more is conveyed in a person's tone than in the content of his speech. If my intent is to project a deep, resounding voice, then I must intake the proper amount of sleep, exercise and peace that such a voice requires.

When the intent will not change

Now it may occur to me, in a state of desperation, that my intent should be revised, especially when much effort was put to overcome the related challenges and fill the dire lackings. However, it is my belief that the true intent of a person will never change. It is an image of self engraved on the heart, where a person feels incomplete if the reality that is on its heart does not match the reality it witnesses. For both are real, the dream and the action, though the dream is a metaphysical reality which the individual alone can experience, while the action is the result of attempting the dream, and it is physical, observed by both the individual and others.

Blogging directly from flickr

Thomas the Tank Engine :: HDR, originally uploaded by Artie | Photography.

Hey! So, I am currently in flickr, and, while viewing a picture, I saw a link to blog about it. After a bit of tinkering, I managed to get my blogger account validated, and here I am, blogging about this awesome pic.

The guy who makes these delicacies in visual arts goes by the nickname Artie. This guy has a huge following and appears to be a guru of Photography. Anyhow, check out what this posting generated, chances are you'll find a link to his flickr homepage.

Pictures on my Flickr

So I normally don't like using my webcam to take pictures, cause it always makes me look depressed. Whatever, so I gave it another shot, and, well, I was actually looking happy! :)

Whatever, thing is, I just created a new flickr account. I prefer flickr to facebook because the interface is nicer, and the pics aren't all shoved into a corner. People can see the pics in a slideshow, full screen, and the pics are loaded very quickly. All in all, it's just made for that.

So, here are the pics. This time, I'm going to post the link to my Flickr photostream.

Tada!

Philly yeah!!
