Flickr

Not sure if it really works as well as they say it does. For example, I am still waiting for the photo I emailed to this blog to appear on this blog… pretty lousy.   Plus, the photos all get this ugly code in front of them in the blog post, which is kinda stupid.   It is still a 1 by 1 process of uploading a photo to a blog, even if you can upload lots of photos to Flickr itself.  So, I am not sure which process I am going to use. This issue of how difficult it is to upload photos to a blog is the reason I stopped blogging last time… too damn hard!! became a real chore…

 

Update:  I finally received the Firewaves painting (see above post) but it had the junk code at the start, which I cannot delete without deleting the photo… annoying. So, I formatted it with white text to make it invisable.  By far the best way to upload Flickr photos is to use Windows Livewriter with the Flickr plug in…. this will be my preferred method from now on….

My Brain Age is 21!!

Technorati Tags: brain training,brain age,nintendo ds,funny

I have been playing with the Brain Training game for the Nintendo DS. This is a popular game here in Japan because Japanese are obsessed with self-control and improvement and health checks… but anyway, I bought this one in Australia and its very fun. It wakes me up in the morning.  My actual age is 37 and after a few tests etc it tells you what your “brain age” is, with the best score being 20 years old.

The theory is that this would represent a very fit and healthy brain that is functioning like it was when it was 20.  But, of course, if most people are the same at age 20 then that would also mean you are always bombed out on drugs, alcohol, obsessed with sex, depressed about your career, worried about the future, stressed from not having enough money to pay your bills after paying for the drugs, alcohol and sex, all of which will cause your career to tumble and therefore age you prematurely.

Aaaanyway, my brain age fluctuated recently from being 38, to 54, then 27 then 26 and now it is just 21!! The program rewarded me when this was calculated by playing a little tune and saying I was the ideal brain age… So, all those coffees and amphetamines I had just before doing the training obviously worked!!
