Craig Venter, a bioenterpreneur and god?

Craig Venter has accomplished one amazing feat recently as he has created synthetic life! This might sound frightening almost but there is plenty of reasons to be afraid. Synthetic life is a organism that is made of man made DNA. This synthetic life is nothing more than self replicating cells at the moment - as seen above. But the possibilities are staggering. We could make bacteria that might float around in the atmosphere eating up carbon dioxide, helping to put an end to global warming. Dr. Craig Venter and his colleagues are already talking with fuel companies to make a bacteria that would produce its own fuel, that could be more efficent and less pollutant. The same idea is being applied to medicines as new vacines are being created as well! This break through could literally start a new industrial revolution. The man responsible can be seen below.

However there are some risks and reasons to be afraid. We dont know how the new bacteria will behave in its environment. And it could potentially cuase more cuase than harm. And just because we can use this new science to make the world a better place we can also use to to make it a horrible place to live. Imagine world war 3, with this new bacteria we could make bacteria in a bomb that would instantly kill a human if he accidently in-haled some of it. So imagine a atomic weapon that cuases a city to be engulfed in a heavy mist of this bacteria! And what if this bacteria spreads? There are many reasons to be afraid... There are benifits and dangers but i think should not worry about these potential dangers. I think our government will take care of any problems that arise.

Valde Licentia day one

We have named our Country Valde Licentia, It stand for "The Great Freedom" in Latin. We have a nice country and we plan to stay peaceful. We hope to build a great economy through trade and good treaties. On our first day we have rolled nothing, we hope to have better rolls in the future.

One major event that happened is that we have noticed a country just beyond our countries borders to the east. This country is still a mystery and we do not know if they are friendly or hostile. We hope to make allies with this country in hopes of a better future! Becuase that is what we all want, a better and more optomistic future!

Along with that we have found large groupings of tree's to our south we have decided to name "Forests". These groupings of tree's seem to stretch on for ever, even past our border line! However to our north we have found long plains of icy snow. We have decided to name this frozen waste land a "Tundra". Both of these places are very unique however it seems rather peculiar we have both! We are all wondering what the rest of the world is like! Does that forest stretch on forever?

Satire

The Essay a modest proposal in my opinion is not at all a satire. A Satire is a series of words and sentances that are arranged in a clever way to attack something that is wrong. It is like sarcasm and states something possiby nice but means the oposite. For instance its like saying "Nice day were having". When a tornado is rounding your block. But Satires are used more to attack things that are fualted in a system. In a modest proposal it might sound like the author is stating a ridiculous proposal. Eating children to solve economic problems that the un-fair leaders are only making worse. But i think that the Author was entirely serious when he sent that letter.

Free game for Steam users!

I don't usually talk about video games but i thought today i would post this blog for all my friends because i think they enjoy free stuff as much as i do. Recently a well known computer program called "Steam" has introduced a Mac friendly version of their program to allow gamers with Mac's to play to! Steam is a legit program that has a growing community of gamers. It bought the rights to sell Modern Warfare 2 for the Computer. It was created by a company called Valve. Valve created some of the best games for the computer such as Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress etc. All of these games were major sellers and are very popular. One of their games that runs off the Half-Life game engine is called Portal. Portal is a puzzle game where you must get to the end of a obstacle course by creating 2 portals at a time that you can travel through. You use a device that acts like a gun that shoots where you want these portal to end up at. This might sound like an easy challenge to complete but the game is actually very challenging.

A example of 2 portals -

This game concentrated on a very good physics engine to create the best most realistic puzzle game they could. You can actually put on portal above yourself and one below and go through these portal for eternity constantly picking up speed!

The reason I'm telling you about this game is because if you install Steam onto your computer before May 28Th you can download Portal for free! Portal will be free to any one who installs it before May28Th. This is not a free Trial it is completely free with no catches or surveys you have to take. You simply click the install button! Steam is doing this because their computer gaming that allows for in game instant messaging and voice chat has been so successful that they can afford to give it away! This is their way of celebrating of Steam moving onto mac computers!

I thought i would tell every one of this free Puzzle game, its very fun and challenging. Ive played it and i enjoy beating the levels! You can download Steam at this URL http://store.steampowered.com/

I hope you enjoy this game as much as i do! On a side note their is absolutely no cost to you. All it takes is just a little bit of your own time and some computer memory to store the game.
