The chat room in a school and the library book
Date: May 02, 2008

I was in the chat room. The chat room was a real room in a school. I was chatting to real people face to face by sending and receiving messages. I wrote my messages down on paper and gave them to other people. Then I found a library book on the chat room. I ask the school to return the library book to the library. The school renew the book. Both the library and the school argee on some exception on the rule of returning books, allowing the school to keep that book. We and other people were leaving the school to go home, there was purple light near the exit.









The magic cardboard and the white fractal surface
Date: May 02, 2008

I was riding in the car, I was carrying something that had a surface with white hills. The white hills is the white bumps on the surface. All the white hills on the surface were smaller than me and the car. In the car. The surface had big hills on it, The big hills had meduim hills on it. The medium hills had small hills on it etc. The surface is a white fractal surface. The surface's big hills remind of cauliflower. The big hills had text with a description on them. I was reading the description on the big hills.

We arrive to a empty place with a parking lot and a lot of grass. I take some magic cardboard out of the box. It unpacks and folds itself into a garage. I take some more magic cardboard out of the box. It unpacks and folds itself into a house. This house is portable. We could move it to a different place by packing it, moving it then unpacking it. I take some dolls, small toy pianos and other things out of the box. Then I sing a song and pretend the doll is riding in the car with that white fractal surface.







the 2 old men and the spam scoring system
Date: May 02, 2008

we were visiting 2 friends. the 2 friends were 2 old men. They live in different apartments in the same building. The family were talking to them. I planing to tell my dream. In the apartment, I saw an old trash magazine issue in the trash. The old man says "I only keep stuff that I want to keep". Also the old man showed me a scoring system for email. He said that low score means spam and high score means regular email.

He says that when the score is medium, he checks it to see if it's spam. The old man says "the scoring system lets me only keep email that I want to keep. also the great thing about the scoring system is that only I can see the score, not the spammer. Since the spammer cannot see the score, the spammer cannot figure out how to send regular email that get high scores".

We, the family and 2 old men, visit a castle that was also a mansion. The castle was near Princeton University. We took a tour there. They had a web site. back home, I was surfing the internet. Their web site was a simple web site. There were only 2 tabs called "home" and "tour info" all the web site had on it was tour info page and a simple welcome home page.







the cartoon girl's umbrella and some buttons
Date: May 08, 2008

We were in the odd hotel, our toothbrush was in a nearby friend's house. The staff of this odd hotel only let people go outside during the daytime. Instead of waiting for the morning, we ask them for the toothbrush. They were nice and got me the toothbrush from the friend's house. The next morning we went up a bunch of stairs, there was a lot of seats next to the stairs. We went out and took a drive around the neighborhood.

We stop at a store. There were a lot of items for sale outside the store. We took one of the items outside then we went in the store to buy it. The store was like a warehouse and The item we bought was a snack. I eat the snack while I am back riding in the car. The snack tasted a bit odd to me. We read the fine print. it says "dog food". We thought it was a snack for us, but it turn out to be dog food.

At home, I found a book and some buttons about a cartoon girl. Most of the buttons showed the cartoon girl's feelings and actions. But there was one button that show the cartoon girl with a umbrella. One things she can do the umbrella is rotate when the kids are not standing up strait. If the kids are leaning to the left, she rotates to the left. If the kids are leaning to the right, she rotates to the right. The button showing her with the umbrella also rotates when she rotates. The more the kids lean, the faster she rotates and she rotates the fastest when the kids lying down. Another thing the cartoon girl can do the umbrella is fly around. The book had a lot of mistakes in it. and part about the cartoon girl's umbrella was missing. But by magic, the book got updated. The mistakes were fixed and the part about her umbrella was added. The part included a cartoon about her umbrella.







I made up my own song with lyrics (short)
Date: May 10, 2008

I was in class with a bunch of other students. they made me and the other students write the lyrics of their own song that they made. I made up a song about computers. the teacher circled four lines for me to write down the lyrics. so I wrote down the song on these four lines. back at home, I wrote down the song on the rugs.







random ordered story pages and a 3d road map
Date: May 17, 2008

I was in a store, I was looking at prices. then I wonder around the store, I heard background music in the store. I saw a glass block with tunnels inside. The tunnels were 3d roads in a 4d world. the glass block was a 3d road map. sometimes the 3d roads overlap each other with a bridge.

I went to a room with the girls. We were listening to music and/or watching videos. One of girls said "hey there is a cd with a video we did't finish watching, lets watch it."

Then they show a book. The pages of the story are in a completely random order. Only the page numbers are in order. Each page said "turn to page (number)" on the bottom. For example, if page 14 said turn to page 36 then we will turn to page 36 for next page of the story.







the robot takes a screenshot of the Apple monitor
Date: May 19, 2008

I had a robot that takes images on the Apple monitor. It takes screenshots of the old Apple computer. The Apple monitor is attached to the old Apple computer. The robot had an arm with a veritcal bar attached. when the bar takes a screenshot, The bar moves from left to right near the screen scanning the still image on the screen. The robot was little like a scanner that scans computer monitors.

The robot took a game screenshot the show people. The apple monitor only showed shades of green. But the robot added color to the screenshot. The robot show that game screenshot with colors added. I see the colored screenshot on the robot monitor and I see the screenshot with shades of green on the apple monitor. I discover a telephone number on the robot. I could take this robot to store and they would print out the images that are on this robot for me.







the pulley system in the bookcase
Date: May 22, 2008

www.itsyourturn.com had a bug in it, it showed games that I am not playing. I notice that the lawn was wet, I show mom that there is water running from a hose. mom then turn off the water hose. then I notice someone drying the lawn by using a vacum cleaner outside. someone gave me a pin, first it was hard for me to close. but then I figure out how close it. I had a pulley system that was attached to a big book in the book case.

pulley system
I use the pin to attach the little book to the pulley system. but then I thought about how a lock works. image of a lock
at a store, I saw a code on the bottom of each bottle. I notice that different product types have different codes.







The mall, the giant pumpkin and The TV
Date: May 26, 2008

I was at the mall, I saw some pencils on the floor. I ask mom, and she told me that the pencils are our pencils. So I pick up the pencils from the floor. Next I saw a board game box on the floor, I forgot about it and went to walk outside the mall. I thought she would follow me. While walking home I notice that mom is not follow me. So I decide to turn around and go back to the mall. Then I heard mom call out "Frank where are you?". I shout back "I am here".

I follow mom back to the mall. In the mall I saw the board game box in the trash. I think that someone did not want that board game box anymore, so they swept it up and put it in the trash. I found a free giant pumpkin in the mall. So I peel off the skin of the pumpkin and I went inside the pumpkin. I think about how many pumpkin pies I can make with this giant pumpkin.

Back at home, there was a stack of newspapers. One article was about eclipses. It talk about solar and lunar eclipses and how astronomers use them. It showed a photo of solar eclipse taking place in a village in 700 A.D. It told me that the next lunar eclipse will be in dec 2010.

Another article was about a police man getting plumbing pipes. He was getting plumbing pipes from the yard of the public works department. The yard had a pile of metal pipes. The yard had also another pile of other metal objects. He was planning to fix the plumbing of someone's sink in someone's house.

I saw a TV on my pouch. It looks like the old TV we have. I thought The old TV was being move to another place. But I went in the TV room to check, The old TV is still there so I figure out It is a new TV we ordered. Now I can choose which room to put the new TV that looks like the old TV. I plan to choose the room with the best TV anntenna reception.
