Death of Steve Jobs

I love Apple. So I was shocked when my hostdad told me that he is dead this morning. My first thought was `oh my gosh`. Who is going to invent new Apple stuff. But then it came in my mind that he probebly isn`t the only one who workes for Apple. So I came down a bit. But it`s still sad, because he was too young to die I think.

Brazil is sending 75,000 students to the worlds best colleges

It surprises me that a poor country like Brazil has the opportunity to give so many students the chance to visit one of the best universitys in the world. I think that will perhaps help this country to change.

Bob Dotson

Rule of threes the silence:
Wait a beat before you ask a new question. That makes the person in the interview tellimg you more, sometimes more interesting things about your question, because they think you still don`t understand their answer and they have to explain it more.

Nonquestion Question:
Make the person you are interviewing to tell you something interesting with telling him a story of your live first. They feel more comfortable when it seems like you are speaking with them, not asking.

Finalist from East Ridge High

It`s pretty cool, that a teacher from a school I played against, is one of the three finalist for the `Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching`. Really exciting is the meeting with Barack Obama in Washington D.C.

Proximity, Prominence, Unusualy

Jonesboro shootings

Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11 shot there classmates and teachers down after one of them asked for excuse from his class, pushed the fire alarm and got the other boy to join in. It happened in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The two boys joined in gun clubs before. Because of their age both are not charged.

Father tossed son off boat

On Wednesday a man was charged for tossing his 7-year old son off boat. It happened on August 28 under the influence of alcohol at the Newport Beach Harbor. The father still thinks he did not do anything wrong and it wasn`t his fault.

I can`t believe how a father can do something like that to his son. The story really shocked me.

Biggest Big Mac in the world

The biggest Big Mac in the world is about 14ft tall and 12ft across and is housed in Thankfully, a museum that is also a working Mc Donalds. The museum opened in Pennsylvania in 2007 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the burger’s creation. The inventor  Jim “MJ” Delligatti put together the two all beef-patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun in 1967 to Ronald McDonald honour. If you want to try eating it, good luck. Just each pickle is about 2 feet across.

I think, this type of museum is a more funny and interesting way to teach about art.

google +

I think it would take some time until google + is as popular as facebook. But generely I can imagine that this social website could work out. Probebly there are many people all over the world who would like to join in in a website with more games than facebook. So maybe it`s a different group of people who are going to be a part of google+ than in facebook, like younger people. Both websites could work at the same time. But I think there is no website which is able to be more popular than facebook!
