Google we love you!

At least some of us do.

I want to show you some nice tricks with Google! Are you ready? Here we go:

If you enter in the Google search box “Google 133t” and click on I’m feeling lucky, you will get a nice example of a different Google starting page. You will get a page in Letters and Numbers, which you can’t read, but it is from Google.com. It is really interesting, the language is called 133t or Leet and is used in the internet for some reasons, which I don’t know. (If you click on the image, you will get there)

Another nice trick is entering “Google bsd” and then click on I’m feeling lucky. You will end up on a Google page with a devil…

The third trick I want to show you is if you enter “Google Easter Egg” and then click on I’m feeling lucky. You will have to help a small easter bunny catch his easter eggs

If you are a fan of Gothic, you will like this site… Enter “Google Gothic” and you will end up on a nice black site for Gothic fans. I like the button “I’m feeling depressed” instead of “I’m feeling lucky”.

Last but not least, I have another nice trick for you. This one won’t give you any different themes or so but a quite strange result. By the way did you know the answer to life, the universe and everything? It is 42, you won’t believe me? Then enter: “answer to life, the universe and everything else” into Google and press enter.

That’s it for today. If you want more themes, enter things like:

• Google Pig Latin and you will get Google in Pig Latin
• Google Linux and you will get the Google logo with the Linux logo
• Go to Google loco
• And if you want to be environmental friendly and save energy use Blackle which is the environmental friendly version of Google. Why? It is explained on the website, but mainly because it is in black.

Olympic Games a time of peace?

It has now been exactly 2 weeks and 6 days since the Olympic torch was lit with the fire of Olympia in Olympia, Greece. From there it went through Greece and then directly to Beijing. From Beijing around the world, to promote the Olympic Games.

However, where ever it came it face protests, hatred and a huge press coverage. Why that? That is because of Tibet. In the middle of march, hundreds of protesters protested against the control of Tibet by China. China has entered Tibet in the 1950’s and since then the Chinese government is ruling there. During the protests in Tibet, some protesters were killed, which started everything.

So since the protests, thousands of protesters around the world protested against China, for whom that is the worst moment as it wants to present itself at it’s best during the games. Whenever the Olympic torch arrived in another city thousands of protesters tried to stop it and attacked the sport stars carrying the torch.

These protests are mostly organized and attended by exile Tibetans.

They sometimes jumped at it, tried to grab it or other things and the torch had to be secured by several rings of police and Chinese security staff.

So why am I writing all that? Because I want to get my opinion out there. I thing that these protests are as cruel as what China is doing.

How can you get peace by attacking other people who have nothing to do with what China is doing? How can you get peace by misusing the Olympic Games, which have nothing to do with what China is doing? How can you get peace by ignoring the whole purpose of the Olympic Games, a time of peace? How can you get peace by hurting fans of the Olympic Games, who want to watch the torch but can’t because some extremists have to attack it?

At the moment theses protests are hurting only one type of people and that are the fans of the Olympic Games around the world. The Olympic Games have nothing to do with Tibet or so and these protest can’t change anything at the moment.

China is a communist dictated country, the government has the power over it’s people and there is nothing like freedom of speech in China. China is an uprising power, with an extremely fast rising economy. So the people in China have no idea about the protest that are going on in China, because freedom of press doesn’t exist there. So these protests can’t help the Chinese people who want to get ride of their government.

What are the protest then for? International pressure….

However, I think that is totally useless, China has never really cared about how other countries think about it. So China is one of the least countries where international pressure can help, similar to the US. Now, if some countries try to put pressure on China all it will do is cool down their relationship and it is extremely
important to make sure it doesn’t cool down to much as China isn’t a country you can ignore, the Western economy is depending on China and it’s economy.

So I hope you see what I mean, these protest are useless and misusing the Games and hurting it’s fans.

However, don’t think I agree with what China is doing! The total opposite, I am against the Chinese control of Tibet and I think it is good that the world is reacting to that. It would be shocking if not. However, I am against how the world is reacting to that, by misusing the Olympic Games.

Today the Olympic torch will be in Tanzania, Africa. Let’s hope this will face less protests.

Welcome to Guantanamo Bay

Did you know that you can go to Guantanamo Bay? You can actually look at it, t

here are interesting things to see. Did you know that? I bet you didn’t. I bet you always thought that the United States of America are trying everything to hide what they are doing and let the least possible amount of people see Guantanamo Bay. You thought that, didn’t you? I tell you, you were wrong.

Ok, it is true you can’t go there as a person and have a chat with the imprisoned “threats” to America and the world. However, you can go there from the air. You don’t need a plane or so, all you

need is Google Earth

Google Earth allows you to see quite a lot of details of Guantanamo Bay. The qual

ity of the image isn’t as good as the one of Miami or so, but as good or better then Havana (the capital of Cuba). You have a better image of the Airport of Guantanamo Bay, then of the camps. I don’t know if this is by purpose, I think so but I am not quite sure. And who can say: “I was in Guant

anamo Bay, for free!” so what do you want more. By the way, you are not the only one who was there, a lot of people left some interesting information about the different buildings you can see there.

So it is always worth a travel

Here in Google Maps. However, I would recommend to look at it in Google Earth, as you can see more information about it.
