UPDATE (7/6/2012): I broke it already.

Yet Another Thing You Should Never Do

I was on a trip to Ottawa recently for nationals in the Musicfest Band Competitions. It had the ability to go well, and for most people it did- but not for me. Thanks to sneezing people, I spent most of the time sick (I felt like I had a fever, but according to others I didn't). On the second night, my hotel room was inhabited by a couple of visitors. But that's not important. At about 10:30, emanating from somewhere, I'm guessing the huge speaker in the ceiling, something that sounded vaguely like this but sort of like it was produced by a cheap 90s synthesizer began. The dialogue between me and the visitors went something like this:

Visitor 1: What's that sound?


Me (calmly): Well, when I was at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto, I heard that sound, which turned out to be the fire alarm.


(pause)


Visitor 2: Run!!!


And thus, we ran. Sort of. I had enough time to grab my wallet, my iPod, and my bag, but I was worried because I didn't have time to grab my charger, my concert shoes, and most importantly the two lego cars I'd brought along. But anyway. With my nasty sickness, I had to hassle down nine flights of stairs. And when I finally got to the bottom, I was forced to wait while nothing much happened. While I was waiting, I saw this:

Note that I'm not in this photo, nor was I involved in its taking. Also, disregard the peculiar mask.

Yeah. So apparently the poor guy was caught in the middle of a shower. Anyway, eventually we found out that a sensor had been tripped somehow. I'm not sure, just that it was a false alarm. So then we trudged upstairs, and finally I sat down again. A few minutes later, I went to sleep.

About a day later, I went on twitter, and after a bit of searching, I found this tweet:

Well done, you ditzy idiot. Did you know that the city of Ottawa recently tightened regulations on intentionally doing that sort of thing? I mean, it's easy enough for you to get framed without the tweet, but now all the police have to do is search "ottawa hotel alarm", and they'll find out who did it. "Duh, yeah, they'll never think of that! Haha!"

And either this person isn't an avid twitter user, or they're ashamed of what they did because I tweeted them telling them that they made a sick person scramble around a building when they probably should've been visiting a doctor. Not to mention the kid in five degree weather in his underpants.

In conclusion, due to the increased amount of hits my blog is getting (over 5000 at the moment), I hope a police officer finds this post, because idiots like these need to think before they act. Because that's the sort of thing only a drunk person would do (which they may well have been).

Think of what your school would do if they found out about this, "NBateni". I can see the tweet now:

#schoolmemories getting expelled cuz of fire alarm lol

The Samsung Galaxy... Thing Is Just A Stone

You may have seen this image before:

As a pro-iPhone person, you can imagine that this might've been a bit irritating. But instead of ranting about how half of these aren't even true, I've decided to make my own (which looks a lot worse, but too bad):




                                               Stone                             iPhone                                 Galaxy S2

Integrated Notification Management	no	yes	no
Retina Display	no	yes	no
Wirelessly Syncs Everything To All Your Devices	no	yes	no
Simple, Minimal Home Screen	no	yes	no
Internal A5 Chip	no	yes	no
Proximity Sensor	no	yes	no
PERSONAL ASSISTANT...	no	yes	no
Two 8MP Cameras	no	yes	no
Twitter Integration	no	yes	no
Automatic Downloads	no	yes	no
Flash Free Means No CPU Devouring	no	yes	no
Access To The World's Largest Music Reseller	no	yes	no
Access To The World's Largest Software Reseller	no	yes	no

So by that logic, the Galaxy S2 is a stone, just because it shares a few characteristics with one. That's like saying that because frogs make noise, and tubas make noise, frogs are tubas. If you do want to see my list of what's wrong and what's right, I have a short, rant free one:

1. True

2. True

3. False

4. False

5. False

6. True

7. False

8. True

9. False

10. True

11. False

12. False

13. True

And yes, I do call it the Galaxy Thing.
