Fun Day

Today has been a fun day. I went to Six Flags with two friends. I fixed me some sandwiches to eat for lunch because I did not want to spend allot of money on food, it is so expensive at Six Flags. Well, we got there and paid for our tickets and went through the mental detector. Then I had to have my bag checked. I told the security lady that it only had my food in it. I put it in a small cooler. Well she said that they were not allowed in the park and that we can't bring in outside food. So, I can't go put it into my car because we got dropped off. She said that the gas station would keep it for me until the park closes. So I left to go find the gas station and it was right in the parking lot. I did not have to walk far. We got to it and it was closed. We walked around to the other side of the park and found a security person and ask for help. And she said that she would call someone to open it for us. Someone came and opened it up for me. While we waited I managed to eat one sandwich and drink one coke.

We finally made it into the park. There was hardly anyone there. School has started in Dallas. And I guess it was because we went on a normal business day. We walked right up to some of the big roller coasters. Did not even have to wait for a minute to ride. It was so cool. The ride would end and the people said that we did not have to get off. We got to ride The Batman ride and the Titan 4 or 5 times. My friend finally decided that he wanted to do Mr. Freeze. It was really funny because when we were riding The Batman ride we saw people walking on Mr. Freeze. The ride was closed for inspection I guess. They've had allot of problems with this ride. Guys were walking all over it. It finally opened up and we rode it 4 times. Believe me that is allot. We walked right up to it and got on. I just learned something really cool. The movie Spy Kids 2 was filmed right at Six Flags Over Texas. They added allot of CGI rides that did not exist. You should go check out the DVD and look at the special features on it. But, in the movie you can see The Batman ride and Mr. Freeze. But the rides were not going. They should have made them operational in the movie. This is the longest post ever.

Six Flags

I'm going to Six Flags on Tuesday. A friend was going to pay our way but decided not to. I'm not very happy with him right now. But, my other friend who is going has a thing where if you buy one you get one free. So I guess it will all work out. And my other friends uncle is kind of enough to drive us all up there. So that is going to be nice.

Strike

I went bowling again with my youth pastors on Saturday. It is funny, we played 2 games and I made a strike on my first bowl for each game. There are 10 frames to play in one game. My friend Jonathan also went along this time. When I got home I broke my glasses. I don't know what I am going to do.

DVD

I picked up a CyberHome DVD player at Radio Shack today. I really like it. It plays MP3s and JPEG pictures that are on CD-R or CD-RW. It even recognizes folders on the cd. It is a very small dvd player.

RSS

Chris Pirillo has just released the Lockergnome RSS Resource website. Chris said "it was designed to help you understand just how RSS (and other syndication efforts) are continuing to change the way we access information online." I use a program called FeedExpress for my RSS Feeds. But, I have been using a new program called FeedDemon. It has alot of cool features and you can customize it. But, it is in beta testing now. I like this program. Chris has put out yet another great website.

Digital Camera

I went to best buy today to look at the Canon Powershot A70 digital camera. I took my compact flash card with me. I asked the guy working there if I could use it to capture some pictures to see how they turn out before I buy it. He said yes. The pictures came out great. I also managed to capture a short movie with it too. I am going to get this camera.
