Renewable energy is our only option

The world is in a huge pickle. We exploit our planet, we drill for oil and we burn it like we will never run out of it. We pollute the atmosphere without carrying about tomorrow, without carrying about what we are going to leave our kids. I will tell you exactly what we are going to leave them, one poisoned, drained out Planet Earth and only one option, to turn to alternative methods of energy production. But why wait until it is too late, why wait until this is the only way out? I think that we need to act now. We have to switch to renewables as soon as possible; we need to start taking care of our Planet.

Software Writing And Painting – So What Has Changed Now?

The idea of using computer to perform creative services like illustration, writing or painting is not a new one. Makers of software applications have been experimenting with these solutions for quite some time now. However, most software applications failed because the makers failed to recognize the importance of intuitive and contextual understanding.

What can you understand when you see the phrase patient handling train the trainer? Well, you obviously add a few punctuation marks at the appropriate place in your mind and formulate a meaningful phrase here.

Computers Writing Content – What Will Happen To Human Writers?

I found it completely acceptable for certain esoteric activities and services like data quality services and data analysis services to be completely handled by computers. However, I find to my dismay that people are busy inventing software applications that will make the human writer obsolete. Considering the fact that I am trying to break into the world of writing to enhance my revenue stream, this is very bad news indeed.

Apparently, the makers of the software application wanted to find a solution to the delay in providing frequent updates to baseball games. They made use of software applications that would take the raw data presented and convert the same into a meaningful and sensible paragraph about the condition of the game. The big difference here was that the computer work at a fraction of the time taken by a human writer. The primary factor working in favor of the computer is that the quality of content is not significantly less as compared to the work done by an ordinary human being.

Of course, the writing industry is watching this new development with a lot of apprehension. On one hand, we have human writers who may simply go out of business. On the other hand, we have skeptics who point out that humans have been writing for the past thousands of years and would continue to do so. Well, it is probably difficult to say whether the human beings in the past had to compete against computers that would think and provide content in a span of a few seconds.

There will obviously be a clamor for stopping such services. The best writers will probably survive because of their writing skills. However, all those individuals who are ordinary writers and provide valuable but hidden ghostwriting services may find themselves out of business.

The Ultimate Challenge

I have a bit of time on my hands at the moment, so I decided to combine my love of writing, with my illustration skills to make some functional comics. What is a functional comic? Well, the idea it to use comedy and humour to teach an important skill. These comics can be used in instruction manual, websites, or sold individually. I am busy at the moment making my first prototype.

There is a huge gap in the market where parents and kids can’t really communicate about the technology that they need to operate their game consoles. I want to do a six page spread that explains the difference between the r4 card and the r4i. It is pretty technical stuff, but the idea is that one of the characters is a gran who was raised during the war, the other is an eleven year old girl who is into computer programming. She really loves her gran and decides to draw her pictures.

I am personally not a gamer, but my nephew is and he has been helping me get started. If you get a complete computer wizard to explain it to you, it is simply too technical. The thing about a good illustrator is that they are able to find the metaphorical image that translates a complex idea, into something that is easily understood. The little girl in the comic is going to use a submarine, an air craft carrier and a bomb shelter to explain to her ageing nan exactly how games are stored on a card. Then, she is going to use the infamous Enigma machine to explain the all important aspects of the new technology. The Enigma machine turned messages into secret code and this easily translates today when people think about how certain game consoles only play certain games. It is vitally important for our little eleven year old hero. Her parents are very poor but honourable and they would never return or reject a birthday present. The little girl needs her nan to truly understand how a Nintendo ds works, so that she can choose an appropriate bit of technology and enter into the world of the child. I am going to go for the child like illustrations mixed with a bit of Captain America for narration. My regular publisher thinks its a great idea and I have some interest both from over 50’s magazines, so I am just going to get cracking.

Fixed Annuity: The Advantages

So I may not be working your usually 9-5 job but I do think about my future and investments that can get me to where I need to be in the future, financially.

Like many other people I do want to visit an exotic location or stay in a Looe hotel and one way I can achieve this is through a Fixed Annuity I recently found out.

Now Tax-deferred fixed annuities, or fixed annuities as they More

How to illustrate

Now then, here I am, about to break all the rules that shouldn’t be broken! Not really, but I am about to shed some light on a subject which I don’t think is mystical at all.

To begin with, get out of your mind that you can’t draw. Strictly speaking, illustration isn’t so much about drawing as it is about depicting a concept. You don’t need loads of skill and experience to do that – it can be done in More

The mysterious writing secret…

Writing is an odd one: like illustration, the people who do it can often be highly secretive…as though they belong to some ancient cult where everyone has to murder another just to get in. Then I come along, Mr-look-at-me-beginner-writer and all of a sudden heads start to turn the other way.

Now, maybe it’s just me, but I find this the wrong attitude. Okay, so I’m not a pro yet, but that doesn’t mean that if someone less experienced asked More

Plastic water bottles?

Water is vital for our very existence, that is why all over the world people drink water from plastic water bottles.

The question we have to ask ourselves is that do we really help the environment when we use plastic water bottles? Did you know it is estimated that making plastic bottles require over one and a half million barrels of oil every year that is a whole lot compared to oil used for hairdresser supplies. Nine out of More

Soothing a Sore Ankle

My good friend works in a warehouse and does a lot of lifting. He recently attended one of those company mandated manual handling courses but lamented that they said very little about dealing with a sore ankle like the one he has.

Now sore ankles are very painful and are often accompanied by swelling. Excessive pain and swelling may prevent you from walking or turning your ankle in any direction. Sore ankles need to be treated with care. Here More

The Game

Years ago, before I became a freelance, I was a student like you probably were. There was a pub about five minutes walk from the sixth-form college, and at lunch-times – or whenever we could in the summer, especially when it was baking – we’d head there for a drink or two, but mainly just to hang out in the Sun. One day, a guy started hanging out there too. More
