My Venture Into Blogging

I have heard the word blog thrown around the last few years, but really did not pay much attention to it! I just recently started an internet business and thought I would start blogging to see what it was about! I looked at a few blogs and found out that basically people write about anything. I've always enjoyed writing. I wrote essays in high school and college and thought it was fun! Of course I did not tell anyone, because I always heard others saying things like "Oh, yuck, we had to do an essay in that class! I hate essays!" So, I thought I must be kind of weird.

Another thing I did back in high school some twenty something years ago, was take a typing class. I don't remember why I took the typing class. Computers were not around much. Hardly anybody had there own computer at home back in those days! The typing in this class was done on the old IBM type writers. Funny, I don't see those around much anymore! Anyway, a decade or so later, I found myself in an office sitting in front of a Dell computer and realized that I could still type. And actually pretty darn fast. Yipee! Now I find myself constantly typing something into the keyboard. I have an eBay business, work in as a firefighter, and do internet marketing. In all three of these careers, I use my typing skills.

The blogging is fun because a person can express themselves and get their opinions published. If you have an agenda, blog! Maybe someone will read it. Millions of people are on the internet these days and odds are some of them will want to read your blog! My blog is about my life, my job, my faith, my opinions, my businesses... lots of my's in there huh? Of course, there are blogs about politics, the environment, and just about anything! I saw one today about mobile homes!

What I like about the blogger site I am using is that you can add all kinds of things to your blog site. On mine, I have a poll about Sarah Palin. Drop by my blog before Sept. 12 and take the poll. I'm interested in what people on the internet think. Tell me if you like Sarah Palin or if you think she should go back to Alaska! LOL! Here's the link: My Blogspot I think tomorrow I will blog about hurricanes!

Introduction to Starcraft 2

Starcraft 2 or StarCraft 11 is the sequel to the very popular StarCraft game, which is a video game for personal computers. The original game was released by Blizzard entertainment in 1998 and in May 2007, it announced its plans to develop the sequel. The new game should be compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X. Although no release date has been announced, players who are wondering what this sequel will be like can play a sample demonstration of the game on the Blizzard website.

The sequel to StarCraft 1 is intended to be even better than its predecessor. It still features the three races of Terrans, Protoss and Zergs, so you won't have to get become familiar with any new or additional races. However, it is designed to be more user friendly for multiple players. The new features include an new deign of Battle net, a ladder system for ranking the games and a capability of matching players with those of their same skill set. There will also be an improved replay function in which you can record the games you play and review them later.

You will still be able to experience cut scenes, which are pre rendered and highly cut CGI movies when playing the game, just as in StarCraft 1. You will see an improvement in this as well because the scenes will be of better quality. There will also be advanced scenery allocation and the terrain of the planet will be more detailed. Floating space platforms, with planets and asteroids in the background, will help to make the scenery more vivid and real in its appearance.
In the new game, there will be a difference in the single player aspect. Instead of the briefing room of the original game, this sequel starts with an interactive version of the battlecruiser Hyperion. The campaigns are also non-linear in which Raynor can take jobs for pay and use that money to purchase additional supplies. However, the end result will remain the same to keep a linear storyline, although the Zerg and Protoss campaigns will be different from that of the Terrans.

When this new game is released to the market, you will receive a very sophisticated game editor with your purchase. This will give you more freedom in creating custom maps and mods. Some of the same units of the original game will be present in StarCraft 11, but some have new features and capabilities added. One example is the Protoss zealot, which will have the ability to move rapidly when in combat. Some changes are also influenced by the success of Broodwar. In the video demonstration this new game, it is clear that you will be able to interact with the game environment in more complex ways. There will be units that can travel over different types of terrain or have the ability to teleport over short distances when they need to escape. Some of the Protoss units will have the ability to be deployed instantly into battle by means of a specialized structure.
