Question Everything.

   cop15_logo_imgcrulogo_110x90Next month a meeting will occur in Coppenhagen that may very well change your way of life.  The United Nations Climate Change Conference. I heard a joke about future taxation on breathing since we exhale carbon dioxide. This might not be so funny after all. Imagine a new religion, the green religion, where by paying money to someone, somewhere, some web site, we ease our souls of their wrong doings against the earth itself. Instead of tribunals to god, we pay the earth, except like church, earth nor god need our cash, just those who run the organization. Please seek the truth about climategate and the Copenhagen climate conference.

 telusOn another note… This is the new ad from Telus with the addition of the space rocket pick pocket. That’s a wallet being lifted from the pygmy goat. Recently I discontinued my cellular phone. Useful but expensive. I was being charged for surfing the internet and other activities without my knowing through my phone. October I was charged for 11 minutes of webtime, except I never went online.  After talking with a telus representative it is apparently normal to be charged like this and it was my fault. To add salt to the wound the new ad campain promotes  ’clear and simple pricing’. They can keep their pricing and their lies, and I’ll simply keep my money.

New Boomcity Media

Moil Studios has been studiously moiling.

Mr. Moil was recently lecturing about typefaces. Conversations from how Courier looks rounded and smooth on a Mac and pixelated on a  PC (the ‘Naughticus’ wallpaper below great example of how Courier appears on a PC) to conversations about the Helvetica Documentary by Gary Hustwit to the creation of a popcan tab typeface as seen in the GC&theBG wallpaper image below. 

Much flash development has also been occurring as well. Mr. Moil recently heard a rumour that Flash CS5 will export to IPhone compatible applications, and adobe labs confirms it. To get ready for this very cool news much excitement and practicing with Action Script 3.0 has resulted in two new flash applications  (a 2-4 player game timer and some math quizzes) available in the Boomcity Gallery

Although not near completion the Moil crew has been working hard with the Blipsandifs Programmers to produce their XML based jukebox for the superflat single archives using Action Script 3.0.

Boomcity Science: Starholes

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Boomcity researchers have proposed a new theory regarding the universe and how we see it. Noted Boomcitizen Dr. C. took notice to a interesting phenomenon during the last eclipse and has been testing his theory ever since.

While examining the sun through a tiny pin hole in a black  card, I was using it to shield my eyes from the eclipse halo, I suddenly took notice not the the glory of our star but to the instrument I was witnessing it. When held before me I saw a tiny pinhole of light, like a little star. That began my recent studies.  -Dr. C.

starholesAlthough the diagram  has greatly simplified the concept it does work to demonstrate the theory. Dr.C. points out that we never see the jar itself as it orbits geosynchronous. For more information regarding star holes please contact Boomcity Science Dept. through the Boomcity Tech Centre Techsupport.
