To All My Readers,
As you may have noticed I've changed the title of my blog. It is now called Internet Fondue. Hope you like it. Also check out my sidebar I have lots of links to my friends, Double Talk posts, videos and a daily bible verse and point to ponder. Check em out!

Here's a picture of an iMac computer I made out of Legos.

Some other pic's I took. (Me in mirror and Old fence)

A bear track (yes really) that was near our house.

And I got a book I ordered over the internet today. It's called PHP and MySQL for dummies. PHP is an advanced web design coding language. I got the book used for about $3 at bn.com (Barnes and Noble).

Internet gottahave of the day: myfabrik.com lets you upload 1gb of photos and videos. And then embed them in a blog or site.

Here's the quotes of the day:
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.
- Don Marquis

In case you're worried about what's going to become of the younger generation, it's going to grow up and start worrying about the younger generation.
- Roger Allen

A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Speech in New York, Nov. 20, 1900

And there's a new video of the week at honorvideos.blogspot.com It's Switchfoots Awakening. Thank you Chris for the suggestion.

I just finished a book called Pictures of Hollis Woods by
Patricia Reilly Giff

It is a little beyond my age (I was a little old for it) But it has a interesting plot.
It is about a 12 year old girl who was abandoned when she was very young. She would move from foster home from foster home. Staying for a while and then just running away. Giff uses an interesting style to uncover the plot. She develops the current plot and a past plot at the same time. *that sounds confusing* You kinda have to read it to understand.

Long story short it was a good book that I enjoyed reading. But wish I would have 2 years ago.

well good by for now,
Thomas

Story Tag

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 10:49:00 -0500

Once upon a time there was an awesome guitarist named Gary. Gary was amazing, he could play any song you can think of. Well, like any awesome guitarist Gary started a band called Gary’s Band. After a while they weren’t getting any gig and such until one day they got a phone call. It was a friend of Matt Thiessen from Relient K who had heard them one time when Gary's band was playing at a youth function. They were blown away when he told them that he thought they were good enough to go on tour with the group. With the guys in Gary's band ecstatic to be playing with such an awesome group as Relient K, they packed up and took off to California. While on the way to California it began to rain heavily. Gary began to worry they wouldn't make it to California to play! So they just sat, somberly, looking out of the windows. Then things started to get worse. First off, the rain wasn't rain at all, Gary saw when he looked harder. It was hail. And as he looked, the hail began to grow larger. Soon it was the size of ping-pong-balls! "We got to stop!" Matt Thiessen yelled back from the steering weal. They pulled off at the nearest exit and tried to get their bus under the shelter of the gas station. Now they were going to be late to play in California! The next day they realized it was July 5. So that meant when the ping pong balls were falling it is was 4 of July! The concert was on July 7 just two days away! They had to get going! They started off heading early in the morning and all taking turns driving and eating. They didn't stop for anything but gas. But soon they new they weren't gonna make it in time.
    "Wait," Matt said. "I have a idea, It might just work. Here's the plan..."
    Meanwhile at the concert they where just about ready to start the MC came out a untrod the lineup. "first," he said. "We have a Band doing there first concert ever, Gary's Band. Then we have Flyleaf and Relient K! But first lets watch this first video from our sponsor!"
    The MC walked off the stage but half way off a concert official ran up to him. They whispered to each other and and the MC nodded. They walked off the stage.

    Matt hung up his cell phone. "That's that." He said.
     "It's a long shot but we'll give it a try." Gary said not sounding to confident.

    Back at the concert they MC announced "Gary's Band!!" but nothing happened. "They must be running late." He said under his breath.

    Just then guitar riffs started roaring over the speakers. Then bass. Finally vocals. The crowed turned there heads a saw who but Gary's Band running down through the center isle. Gary blasting away at the guitar and the others on there stuff. (except for the drummer and keyboard of course they ran ahead and jump on there instruments. But the rest of the band lingered in the crowed (that was now on there feet ) turn an near disaster into a show (almost) equal to Relient K.

    Those who where looking would have saw Matt Thiessen sneak back stage where he joined the rest of the R K band. "Those guy's are great! They entered from the crowd. Ha we gotta do that sometime."

I was tagged by ChickenGirl and decided to finish the story. But I don't have time to start a new one. Maybe later.

Videopile.com vs Godtube.com and video of the week v2

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 09:15:00 -0500

Just shortly ago I found Videopile.com this is great! It's very much like Godtube.com only they filter there videos. They other thing I like about them is they don't slap a Christian name all over it. (Godtube might seem cheesy to a non-christians) Any way I like videopile much better and it's worth checking out.

And here's the video for this week:

Fourth of july

Thu, 5 Jul 2007 09:00:00 -0500

Happy Fourth of July to everyone. Hope you had a good a time as I did!

We went to a friends house for a picnic. It's this big thing they do every year. There's lots of food and fun. I played some vollyball (which I have greatly improved at). And did some swimming and fishing. Then when it was dark we had some fireworks. The people running the picnic got permission from the shierif so they could set of big ones. They were really good. From where my friends were standing we were feeling ashes.

That's all for now,
God Bless,
Thomas F

My Wierd Life

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 17:32:00 -0500

Well yesterday morning I get up and eat some corn pops. Since we hardly ever eat cereal in our house (much less corn pops. A cereal my Mom label "sugary" and thus is a taboo.) it means something, either a special occasion or were not at are house. And since it wasn't a special occasion and I was at home it must me we had company (actually that's a special occasion).

Anywho I ate my corn pops and went with my Dad to where he works. This is like 6:30 in the morning (ooh I stayed up way to late last night). The reason I was going into work with my Dad was becouse I have a job mowing there.

When we get to work me and Dad unload the mower (a zero turn, thankfully). After we're done unloading I dawdle around trying not to look like I'm dawdling. After I finally am done dawdling I attach cyborg element to my head (ear plugs) and ready my energy capsule (water bottle). Then I zoom of in my mower at near light speed. For the next two or so hours I puts around singing at the top of my lungs so I can here myself. Thankfully no one can here me over the sound of the mower or I wouldn't have the privilege to write this (considering I'd be stuck in an insane asylum). When I'm done singing I think up new designs for my blog. Then there's weed-eating...

Woohoo!!! OK think up the most sarcastic voice you can think of. Now double that. Yea it takes some practice. Anyway I don my safety glasses that cover half my face make me look like a robot. Actually a robot is what I wish they made me look like (what they really make me look like is a really geeky geek). Then I start up the weed-eater (looking about as graceful as if my mother was a bear and and my dad a platypus). And I march of to eat some weed. ( Chhhhhrhchhhhhhckkkkkk We interrupt this post to bring you some breaking news: An army of weeds seem to be taking over the world! they are now marching on a nuclear missile plan a plan to launch them all over the world. Wait. Some kid with a weed-eater has moved in. Bravely cutting down the evil plans. Never mind the World threat is over. Chhhhhhhrhckkkckkckch).

Well mowing is a really good source of income and God has blessed me with this job. I thank him for it. I hope you enjoyed my narrative!

So long for now !-)

Poem

Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:04:00 -0500

            Blog
               Open, multimedia
         Sharing, showing, telling
      Pictures, videos, stories, secret
        Keeping, hiding, writing
                Personal, book
                       Journal

This is called a Daimantes poem. I wrote it myself. Let me explain it to you.

The first word "blog" sets the tone for the first part of the poem. The second line is to adjectives describing the first word "blog". Line three is three participles describing the first word "blog". The fourth line is tricky the first two words are nouns relating to the the first word "blog" the second two are words relating to the word at the bottom "journal". The fifth line is to adjectives describing the last word "journal". Line six is three participles describing the last word "journal". Then the last line is the word "journal" setting the tone for the second half of the poem.

Think you got it? Good. Now click the "youComment" or "post a comment" below this and write a poem of your own.

your poetically,
Thomas F.

Fri, 8 Jun 2007 12:18:00 -0500

To All My Readers.

I had a Birthday on June 6th :) I'm now 14. I got a camera, 7.2 megapixels face detection, 3x optical zoom, and just overal awsomeness. I also got a Skateboarding video, a magazine and some candy.

Our family got an eMac that thing is a beast! I love it. Windows limps in conparison. It took a little to get used to though. But once I did It's been nothing but Rocky road Ice cream. Creamy chocolate. with lumps of fudge or whatever. Ummm.

Any of you guys have ideas for this blog? Pretty soon this will just be my writing blog and I'll have a seperate Multi-media Blog Complete with. Pictures (from my new camera of course), Movies and my very own Podcast for you iPod users.

The background if you haven't guessed is Google Earth. Pretty neat program.

Well tootles for now,
