I went to his place and he told me that he was 104 years old. He also told me that he interested in toy music keyboard. I talk to him, I told him that the strange reason that I was looking at the keyboards was that I was searching for a photo of me. I did not found the photo of me on any of the websites that sold keyboards.

I was visiting a band that play music from a movie with mara. we dance to the music that the band was playing and we meet the people on the stage. later we visit the water department. we walk around looking for the other department. we saw a bathtub with salt water in it. we ask mom where is the other department. she anwser "I don't know".

I was playing a game with TJ where you build your own village. it had a map that show the land, the trees and the rivers. when I was starting a new game, the first thing I did was that I build 2 new buildings. TJ offered me a hint. he said "you might want add these blue water squares before building anything." so I build a rectangle of blue water squares connecting the buildings with the river. I think that the blue water squares means water pipes.

I had a bookcase of video tapes outside on my porch. while near the bathtub I thought about a device that connects to the computer. that device would let the computer write video to a video tape. it would also let the computer read video from a video tape. I tought about the inventor and first video camera. I thought about how noisy was the first video camera.

I programing with a 3d API called OpenGL. I heard on the internet that there is a 2d API uses OpenGL to draw 2d Graphics. I did a google search for games that use that 2d API.

We went in the car at night to a cool town that had Christmas lights. Then we went home. Back at home, I woke up in the morning and there was some guys working on fixing the pool. One of the guys had a square bucket filled with water. The odd thing was that there were books in that square bucket.

In the afternoon, we went to Bill's house. There were four spindles on the porch. Bill stacked CDs onto the four spindles while he was telling me the story of his life. he stacking CDs and telling his life story at the same time. I think that each CD presents a year in Bill's life. I went into Bill's house while eating pieces of Cucumber. I peeled most of the Cucumber. but there was still pieces with the peel on. So to avoid eating the peel, I just simply spit out the pieces with the peel on.

Later we visit our own college dorm room, I went with mom to the right entrance of the college. Mom unlock our room with our keys. Some girl named Lisa visit our room and showed us 2 cards. The 2 cards showed 2 students. Each card talk about a different student and had that student's photo on it.

I took a walk around campus. I was about to get back to my room to use the laptop some more. But some odd things happen. First I almost lock the keys in the car without thinking, I almost forgot the keys in the car before locking it. Second, I was about to go to the wrong entrance of the college, but I saw mom and she remind me to go to right entrance. Third, I saw a guy named Jim who had problems with his truck and want to go to the garage with me.

In the garage, there was a car on the bottom and Jim's truck was on the top. Jim want me to put new wheels on his truck. I went on top of the car. Jim gave me 2 wheels on a rod. They look like weights. I pretend they were weights and started to lift them just like weights. First I tried lifting them lying down, then I tried lifting them sitting up. but I did not reach his truck yet. I stand up while lifting the 2 wheels on a rod. and I did reach his truck. but mom told attaching the wheels was optional but I attach them anyway. Jim thank me and told me that he uses the truck's light when he goes looking at the stars in the night sky. Lisa came in the garage. She showed us the same 2 cards. But when she flip them over. The cards show 2 other students. She told me that the 2 cards show 4 total students. One on each side of each card.

I put a bowl of things and a bowl of food outside. Later when I look for the 2 bowls I don't see the bowls, Instead I see a truck removing a tree stump near the road.

After I left mom's bedroom. I went to the kitchen. I told mom and dad about a computer program that lets retune any note of any song. The program lets you adjust the freq of any of the 12 notes. The program lets adjust the notes so the song plays in a different scale.

There was some corruption in a building with benches. The mob brides a corrupt policeman so he does not arrested them. The mob then becomes friends with the policeman.

We were about leave the hotel home, then I said "let's not forget our belongings". We rush back and collect our belongings. We did not leave the hotel, we were only pretending too. The hotel is our home.

At home. I heard some classical music. I thought maybe I can make computer-generated classical music and output it to a midi file. I knew that when outputing a midi file, if I want the voilin to slide up and down in pitch, then I would need to use pitch bend midi events.

In the kitchen, I saw a chart on the wall. The chart had the title "the five dishes of mexico and spain and the spices that go with them.". The chart showed which spice went with which dish. It also showed what region each dish came from.

Emily read an article on yahoo news. The article had a photo. In the photo, someone was looking out a window and taking a picture of an old tower. The old tower was far away and look tiny when It was big. There was also outside; trees, grass, other far away buildings and a train going by.

We were walking to the dentists office, I saw a small pine tree next to the entrance of the dentists office. The pine tree had a bunch of notes on it. I wrote a note on a piece of paper and stuck it on the pine tree.

We brought our stuff to waiting room. The waiting room was a bit messy. When it was time to leave, we had to figure out which stuff is ours and which stuff is theirs. It was confusing because all that clutter in the waiting room.

After we arrive went home, I saw a laptop connected to the dishwasher. The laptop was running linux with KDE. I ran top. I saw that it only use 4 MB of RAM even with the GUI running. The laptop also ran the dishwasher. Next I went in the living room. I saw a box that version of linux came in. The box said that this linux version is memory eff and takes up only 4 MB of RAM with KDE is running.

I went upstairs. I saw some guys fixing a broken big square CD. They were pretending it was a jigsaw puzzle. They were getting the pieces together. Later they each worked on a different colunm of the broken big square CD. One of the guys was named John. at some point John said "I have better things to do then to fix it". The other guys said back "go ahead John, you can leave now". so John left to do other things and the other guys took his place.

time slows down on the magic table
Date: 12/05/2007

I had a magic table. The magic table allow anything to travel into the future. anything put on The magic table looks almost frozen. If we put a clock on that table then that clock will appear to run a lot slower. That means time seems to slow down for anything put on the table. That also means we can travel to the future just by going on top of the table. We put a laptop on that table and the laptop appear to run very slowly. Next we pretend that we are traveling into space and we listen to microtonal music that uses a lot of notes.

I get mad at mom for destroying a poster
Date: 12/05/2007

I was riding in the car. I saw a old poster out the window. The poster had winnie the pooh characters on it. It was also made by mara many years ago. The poster also had text on both sides. The only problem was that I thought the poster was too close to the road. When we were at home. I ask mom to move the poster futher away from the road. I also told mom to I want to come with her. I want to come with her because I want to make sure she moves the poster without destorying it. She refuse to take me along with her. She left without me. Mom went near to the poster without me. Mom destory the poster on purpose. When mom came back home, I got mad at her for destroying a poster. While I was mad at her, I gave her an example. I said "Here is an example, If a worker deletes a file instead of moving it then the boss will get mad". But then I calm down and said sorry after I discovered that she saved the puzzle that was on the poster before destorying the poster. The puzzle came with instructions. The object of the puzzle was to fit all the diffent shaped pieces into the square. The instructions also gave hints. One of the hints said "when trying to fit piece45 into the square. just pretend it is made out of a bunch of connected triangles". I began to try to solved the puzzle. I was so busy with the puzzle that I did not care about the poster anymore.
here is a picture of that puzzle

Date:12/6/2007

I went to visit TJ. I went inside. there was two entrances in the lobby. there was an entrance to TJ's apartment and a entrance to the neighbor's apartment TJ's apartment was upstairs. The neighbor's apartment was downstairs. Near the entrance to TJ's apartment there was a sign that said "do not visit the neighbor's apartment if you live in TJ's apartment". In TJ's apartment, I was watching the simpsons on color TV. the Cable to the TV was loose. at some point, it got disconnected from the TV. While we were reconnecting the cable to the TV. we saw the TV screen change colors before going to full color. on the back of the TV there was different ports for different primary colors. the next morning we went out when It was dark just before dawn. I took my camera with me. we were going to take pictures of city streets. TJ said "the best time for taking pictures of city streets is when it is dawn or dusk outside. it is because you get these cool shadows in the picture" when dawn came, we began taking pictures with the camera.

The book named "apple basic and blocks"
Date: 12/07/2007

I had a old apple computer, it also had apple basic on it. I had a tiger as a friend, his name was just tiger. I had a book. The book had the Title "apple basic and blocks". It showed you how to program in apple basic. One of the functions it show was function that return a random number. It also show you how to program the building blocks using the apple computer. There was a bunch of different building blocks scatter around my yard. We need a block of a certain type. so I search for that block with the help of tiger. I touch different building blocks and tiger tells me if I found the right block or not. I found the right blocks, they were in a box. we build something out of blocks and we program it using apple basic.

In mom's bedroom, I was reading The book named "apple basic and blocks". I discover a chapter on magnets. one of the pictures showed 8 horseshoe magnets facing each other. each of the magnets in the picture had a magnetic rock touching it. There was a biography in the book that talk about when the author was baby. It showed a picture of him as bady. The glossary of the book, it's page numbers were like years in B.C. the page numbers decrease as you go to next page just like the years in B.C. there was a note to the publisher in the glossary that said "publisher, please publish the pages that go up to 1 A.D".

I was riding in the car, I was going to visit someone in a hotel. while riding in the car, I was thinking about someone who likes to spend $1000 dollars and spend 2 days driving back and forth. I visit my aunts in the hotel, It was a hotel for people and small dogs. they said "we paid 33 dollars for each dog of each day, a good deal compared to 40 dollars for each dog of each day. we pay 100 dollars for 3 dogs". I did google search for a review of that hotel. I found a bad review of that hotel. I ask her where did you hear about this hotel. she answer back "From a spam email". I thought to myself "no wonder It has a bad review, they were Advertising using spam". I also thought "most e-mail spam are scams anyway".

The toy car and the circuit computer
Date: 12/17/2007

I was playing with a toy car. I heard that the manufacturer is trying to make it use less energy and cost less money. The cool thing about this toy car is that it can ride on the ceiling and walls. I saw a bug walk on the wall while that toy car went on a slide in a block. I heard that the reason why the manufacturer wants it to use less energy is because they can fit a solar panel on top on it and make it run on light.

I went to kitchen and I think I see a red plate on the counter, I discover that the toy car has a red-orange light under it. The plate turn out white. the toy car's light made it seem red. I heard from dad that we are going to china tomorrow. I was playing with a computer where you program it by building circuits. I called that computer the circuit computer. I had library of builted circuits that can be connected to any circuit. for the display, It uses a LCD that displayed digits and letters.

We went to the store. I talk to kane the cash register about computers. I told her about the circuit computer. We talk about the difference between the circuit computer and the regular computer. one difference between them is that with the circuit computer you program it by building circuits, with the regular computer you program it by writing computer code. another difference is that the circuit computer uses a simple LCD that displays digits using only 2 colors, regular computer uses a display that shows full-color pictures.

after we left the store, I was sitting on a bench using my laptop. I saw a chinese man throw out a white cap. The white cap had blue chinese characters on it. I was looking at computer code, trying to figure out if that cap belongs to us. Using a text editor, I search for the word "cap" in the computer code. I found out that the white cap belong to the chinese man just by looking at computer code. We did not care about that cap and we went home.
