Nike FuelBand

Nike Fuelband is a wristband that calculate how much you work on one day and the more you work and move the more points you gain. You can also check your fuel points using your mobile phone. It is used and design for athletes that want to know how much did they work out that day and try to top it the next day. The more you do that the better you will get at what your doing.

Syracuse University Basketball

Syracuse University is right now ranking No.1 for the NCAA basketball which is college basketball. I don't know about their players at all but I've seen some of their matches and they are all about sharing the ball. They would keep passing until they see an open man and pass it to them to get a open shot. NCAA is different from NBA without all the selfishness and the dunks. Syracuse work their way up to the top with passing the ball around sharing the ball and getting easy open shots. I really enjoy watching both NCAA and NBA basketball because of the different style they played.

NBA VS NCAA

I personally like NBA and NCAA equally the reason is because NBA is more exciting with all the dunks and stuff. But NCAA is college basketball they don't earn money at all even if they played as hard as they can. In NBA they will earn a lot of money just for being in the NBA , so NCAA you will see more emotions, hard work, hustle, effort put into the game rather than slam dunks. I still like NBA but it's just that there is a lockdown and the reason is because people wants money from it so they can't divide the money properly. So they have to end up locking down NBA. NCAA a lot more people will be more excited to see them working as hard as they can to win the championship.

Obama wants to answer your question

On January 30 Obama will be on Google+ answering your question and also hanging out with you guys. The way it work is using YouTube moderator system to let Obama see the question that you asked. Only the comment or question that is liked the most will be selected for Obama to be answered. This is a way to show that the president care about the people and wanted to hear what the people have to say.

I learned that Obama is a really social person he have facebook, twitter, google +, instagram, tumblr. He wanted to know what the people want to ask about the government or himself, and if it is about the government he would try to change it till the people's liking. I really think this is a great idea so that the people would think that you actually did something that will show that you care about the people.

Kyrie Irving(1st Draft Pick)

Kyrie Irving is NBA 2011 Number 1 draft pick straight out of Duke University one of the best Basketball College in the world. He is in the Cleveland Cavaliers right now and so far his doing pretty good. He has made the Cavaliers a better team since Lebron James leave because the Cavaliers are starting to win games. I'm happy for Cavaliers because last year no offense to any Cavaliers fan but they got owned. Kyrie Irving came to Cleveland Cavaliers to try to make a difference!

Brandon Roy

Brandon Roy is one of the best guard out there he did alot of amazing things in his short 4 years in the NBA. He retire last year because of Injury but only in 4 years he accomplish many historical things. For example in the playoff last year he lead the trailblazers back and win a game against the Dallas Mavericks. Portland Trailblazers were done for about 20 points and he lead them back all those point and also a buzzer beater to tie it up and win the game. Unfortunately they lost the whole round.

New Los Angelos Clipper

This year Los Angelos Clipper a basketball team has become really strong because they got my favorite player Chris Paul and also they got Chauncey Billups. They traded this two player and now they are really strong adding up Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. In basketball there is something called Alley-Oop which is a pass to a guy in mid air and they dunk it or lay it in. With the new Los Angelos Clipper and with two of the best dunker in the NBA they are called Lob City. They have been doing really good this year and only lost a few games because of their new recruit. In the western conference the LA Clippers are ranking No.4 with 9 wins and 6 lost, that is alot better than last year!

Infographic

    Infographic is another way you can learn by looking. This way is mostly for visual learners because they prefer to look at pictures to learn easier. A lot of people are starting to use infographic to learn with pictures instead of the old way which is just reading. I think infographic will help alot of people because its a lot easier to learn it that way. I personally like to use it because it's alot easier to study instead of learning with a book or a bunch of words.
    To make infographic you need to understand about computer and some other drawing program to actually start making it. You need to come up with your own topic to even start it with, so first you just start using arrow and start guiding it around to show others how to understand about the topic. It works with alot of people and its quite easy to make it.

Opening 20,000 Free Wi-Fi Hotspot In Bangkok

Thailand's MCIT is going to open 20,000 Free WiFi all over Bangkok. They are trying to help others by doing this for people to have free internet wherever they go. Since alot of people are using smartphones they will need internet to do most of the their things. They could browse through the web or even play game with the free internet. The way it work is you need to go register at MCIT website then you will need to use that username and password to enter when you see the hotspot. Everyone gets 2 hour to use the free internet with 2mpbs, so there is still a limited time.

I think this is great since alot of people uses smartphone now  and smartphone needs internet to use its function to the max. By doing this alot of people can enjoy using their smartphone with internet and actually using internet. But now alot of people are already have internet on their phone with the package they give . I think also this is a very generous thing for MCIT to do and helping so many people to make their life easier. This is a great thing!

Parents Monitor Kids on Facebook And Have Their Passwords

Nowadays everyone have a Facebook so eventually there will be parents who will check on their child's Facebook. Eventually there are 43% of parents who check on their kids way more than I thought it will be, a lot of parents check on their child because of curiosity, safety or both. 40% check because of safety and 15% check for curiosity 41% check for both. 72% of the parent have their kids password, study also show that parent thinks that they know about the basic of Facebook but in reality they don't know much.

I found that this article is very interesting because I actually know some people's parent who actually check on their kids because they wanted to know what their kids are doing. They are really curious about what their kids are up to. To be honest I think this is a bad idea for the parents because personally there is some things that we might don't want the parent to see but also that is why the parent what to check on us because of that, so I think it is half half.

How To Lead A Creative Life(Infographic)

       This Passage is about how to make our daily lifestyle more interesting. With the picture attached to this passage  they say that if you follow their ways of living, you would have a better life. The picture shows alot of activity you could do to make yourself not bored. Since the picture is really messy I can't really tell if they are showing the right way or not, but anyway in this picture there are several activities. For example do a handstand, watch TV, take a long walk, etc. This shows how to make your life even more interesting but to be honest I think it was a bad idea.
        I learned that to make your life interesting it will not really need to be watching TV or playing your favorite sport. There are other things you can do that will make your life more interesting, for example as suggested in the picture drinking or cut your own hair. Some activities I actually likes which are sleeping, watching TV or go skydiving. Things I don't like are waking up, read Shakespeare or bang head on the wall. Some of the activities in this passage are pretty weird.
