I Email our essays to a spammer
Date:1/3/2007

at night I was looking at the night sky. I notice with a telescope, I see more stars. the next day. I was looking at a picture of solar system while eating lunch. I e-mail emily's essay and my essay to a spammer. I saw mom print out and put our essays in envelopes. mom want us to check the return address on the envelopes. I told mom the return addresses is correct.





an lady's email said "it is her turn"
Date: 1/4/2007

I heard music comming from a mall. It was mostly singing with a little bit of music in the background. I got a cool spam email and I save it in my hard drive. I heard that a lady got 2 emails. One of emails said that it is her turn to move in one of her chess games. She show me the chess game and I saw she had an choice between 2 chess pieces to capture.





The food Theater where the actors ate
Date: 1/05/2008

I went in the theader, I exchange my money for some coins that can be use in the theader. I talk to someone in the audience named Tim. Tim showed me a map. He showed me how close is his house to the theater. he told that he moved in the past so he can be closer to the theater. the show started. I watch the show where the actors ate food. The actors on the stage were dancing around while they were eating food. There was music playing too. then I went to the the stage. on my way I saw a rock band named Rock Mountain. I said hi to them then I went on the stage. On the stage, I meet a man named Bill. he want to give me a tour of this place. we went through the rooms that had shelfs filled with food. It look like almost like a supermarket. then we meet someone named Emily in one of the rooms. Emily was sitting at the table on a bench. Emily was eating food and singing at the same time. I continue to follow tim. next we saw rooms where people ate food in their parked cars. we said hi to these people. we went to the stage. The rock band named Rock Mountain was there. The actors on the stage were singing a rock song about food. The rock band was playing rock music while the actors sang. The actors ate food and dance while they were singing. then a different band played. The band was Spainsh band playing Spainsh music. the actors sang a different song about food in Spainsh. The song was a Spainsh song about food. they were dancing to that song too. After that Spainsh song was over. I exchange my coins back to money, left the theater and went home.



TJ's apartment and the elevators
Date: 1/06/2008

I was feeding the cats then I left to go visit TJ's apartment in a tall skyscaper. I visited his apartment then I want to get to a higher floor. There was only 1 elevator in the tall skyscaper with many floors and it either went up or it went down. I went in the elevator to a higher floor. after I was finish visting the higher floor, I missed the elevator on it's way down, so I went in it on it's way up even through TJ's apartment was on a lower floor. So I rided in the elevator waiting for it to go down. but I knew that it will visit all the upper floors before changing direction.

I went back to TJ's apartment. I was playing a game with TJ's that was a cross between chess and civillizaton I readed a hint from a book while emily ate spinash. the hint said "move some of your pieces/units to the islands".

I was using some program where you can design your own sound. I was showing TJ that program. you can use a different ADSR envelope for each set of harmonies. for example you can use 2 ADSR envelopes, one for the lower harmonies and one for the higher harmonies.





the space theory and the 2 universes
Date: 1/10/2008

Today it was a holiday and there were very few cash registers in the supermarket. I had to wait in long lines just to buy a trash Magazine. Back in my home, I was in Bed. I was reading a trash Magazine that I got from the supermarket. It only had 1 interesting article in it. The article was about a theory about space, The big bang and 2 solar systems in 2 Alt universes. Also I knock over the fun Magazine with the trash Magazine. The fun Magazine roll off my bed, onto my floor.

The theory from the space article from the Magazine went like this:

At the big bang there was 2 planes in one universe. After a minute, it seem like one of planes destroyed the other plane by random. The quantum theory Said "after a minute the universe split up into 2 universes, each one having one of the planes. Our plane stayed in our universe and the other plane stayed in the alt universe" Our plane had our solar system in it. The other plane had Alpha Centauri the nearest star system in it. In the other plane in the alt universe, Alpha Centauri had a planet with life on it, just like earth has life in our solar system. The theory continued, if there was Intelligence life on Alpha Centauri's planet then they might know how to build cool spaceships that are fast.

(end of theory)

while eating lunch in the kitchen, I thought to myself "the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri is 4 light years, a lot further away than pluto is from the earth. So It would be a lot easier for spaceships to reach pluto than it is to reach Alpha Centauri" I also thought to myself "astronomers today have methods, they use to discover new planets orbiting other star systems"





the airport and a newsweek december issue
Date: 1/11/2008

I was playing a game that was a cross between chess and checkers. I was playing white. the computer was playing black. one of the computer's black pieces reach the end of board and got promote into a king. on the computer's next turn it captures my white pieces. I had a pile of empty water bottles in the TV room. I put another water bottle to the pile. we were building a pile of water bottles at home. we were at the airport. we rushing to catch the next flight. I help mom zip up the suitcases. we pick up any newsweek magazines we find on the floor but we check the issue to make sure it is ours before taking it. I read a article in a newsweek december issue. the article was about some kids who put some gaint letters above the street and wrap chirstmas lights around the letters. the article had a photo of them doing it on it's first two pages.







a radio alarm clock and a camera
Date: 1/13/2008

I went on a trip to visit my cousins, they show me some Playground Equipment and swing sets, that tj builded along time ago. I saw a strange piano where the black keys each have a different height, some black keys are taller than others. when I look at the piano a second time It seems like the height of each key changed. there was a radio alarm clock hook up to a tape player. the radio can play at the same time as the tape played. I had on a mode where the radio played at the same time itself the radio was playing. so on that mode, I always hear 1 song at a time I when tune to different radio stations. there was a office with a TV, there was also a camera watching that office. the computer would make a cool video out of what the camera sees and the TV showed that video. I sometimes watch that video for a few minutes.







the museum floor was a map
Date: 1/16/2008

We visit a museum. The museum floor was a map that show cities and towns. The museum had rooms. Each room had a map on the ground. We walk on the maps in the rooms Walking on the maps was like flying over the towns and cities. There was stairs and slides. The stairs let us walk up to the next room. The slides let us slide down to the next room. At one point, we tried searching for our house on the map in one of the rooms but we did not find it. One of the rooms we visited was the mountain room. The mountain room had a map of a mountain. The floor was not flat, it had a scale model of the mountain that also had a map on it. We went to the museum store. In the museum store we saw a blue plastic square sheet for sale. It had 16 square shaped pockets on it. Each square shaped pocket came with a item inside. Back at home, I was wearing a white t-shirt over a black t-shirt. I took the black t-shirt off, I put the black t-shirt over the white t-shirt. Now it is the opposite, I am wearing a black t-shirt over a white t-shirt. I also put on pants that had a bunch of ads on it. I also did a jigsaw puzzle that was also a map. I had a bunch of building blocks with lights. each building block had a different colored light. The blocks could be connected together with wires. The blocks could be programmed by sending 4 bit binary codes. Each 4 bit binary code had a different function the building block could do. One of the functions turned on the block's light. every building block had a list that told what function each 4 bit binary code did. I went to the computer, I went to a website to signup for a free service. Every time I send a email, The service tells me using IM that I sent a email message to someone and I get a IM message telling me who I sent the message to. If I send a email message to TJ then I get a IM from the service telling me that I sented a message to TJ. The service had a bug in it. when I sent a message to myself only, I get a bunch of IM messages, each one claiming that I sent it to a different person (myself included). Also the service was run by a spammer. I would sometimes got IM spam, I would sometimes get a IM message that showed a bunch of ads. note: IM stands for Instant messaging







Mom throws away some sunburst notebooks and other junk
Date: 1/18/2008

The bookcase had some sunburst notebooks and other junk missing. There was a rod-shaped pile of stuff from the bookcase near the garbage and the road. The pile had old sunburst loose-leaf notebooks that came with the software we bought along time ago. We were going to writing class and I ask mom if I should save the trash and junk in the pile. mom said "you could just forget about that junk and go to writing class" mom continue "or you could quickly write a note telling the garbageman 'save that pile of junk'" I ask mom if that pile has any of my notebooks in it. mom said "don't worry, I am saving your notebooks, that pile has none of your stuff in it." After I went to writing class, I saw that the trash pile of sunburst notebooks and other junk was gone. but I did not care about it because all my notebooks were saved and I can always buy new sunburst notebooks.







The floppy disk that had my old dreams
Date: 1/21/2008

I woke up in the dream and TJ was here. I ate one grapefruit for breakfast then I went with TJ to his computer. TJ show me a floppy disk that had my old dreams in it. I insert the floppy disk in the computer. A dailog box with a list, pop ups. It asks you what formating you want. I ask TJ what should I choosed. TJ anwser "choose html formating, I always choose html formating, so I can use the floppy disk in both windows and linux. TJ showed me a list of dreams that are on that floppy disk. I looked at the titles that start with "Mom". I am trying to choose one that is like a short story. I open up the My Computer window from the start menu. I looked at the Properties of the floppy disk. The Properties said that the disk is holding 8 MB of data. I thought floppy disks only hold 1.44 MB of data. Then I figure out why the drive is claiming that the disk can hold 8 MB of data. There are 2 compressed html files. The html files are compressed with gzip. The 2 html files take up 400K of space compressed and 7MB of space uncompressed. In html formating mode, the Properties window pretends the html files are uncompressed when they are compressed. Also there are 1MB of other data on the floppy disk. I copy the data and the dreams to hard drive on his computer. I was about to thank him, but I woke up from the dream before I could.







the device that displays a picture
Date: 1/22/2008

There was a bunch of people working in the yard and the radio was playing outside. I watch someone replace one of the poles of the tent. we went in the pool house. We saw a device that receives radio waves and displays a picture. It has two color channels and combines these two color channels to make a picture that has 3 colors. the 3 colors are red, yellow and green. The background is black. It receives the 2 color channels from the 2 radio frequercies. The device also let you invert the colors of the pictures. While going back to the house, I saw my cat, tiny eating a dead rat. I saw a video game that use 8-bit color (256 colors). I had some video-editing software on my computer. There was a program that let you take some outdoor pictures stored on the computer and use them to make a movie that is sort of like a slide show. It let you make a movie by zooming and panning the outdoor pictures. There was a program that let you adjust the colors of each area of the picture. The picture was a frame of a movie. The program always made the picture look smooth.







I controlled robots from a laptop
Date: 1/28/2008

In the morning, I controlled a robot from a laptop. The robot was in the kitchen, and I was in the living room. I could see what the robot was seeing, on my laptop. Then I controlled another robot in a another state perhaps in CA. I was controlling that robot through the Internet. The robot was in a empty building that had a lot of seats. It was almost dawn in CA and I could see the dark sky on my laptop.

I was playing chess. I failed to defend a certain square, A knight landed on that square and attacked my queen.

For lunch, I was eating cheese with veggies.

After changing vacuum cleaner bags, TJ plug in the vacuum cleaner.
