Maintaining the Balance between Old and New

As most people know these days, anything that has been around for a year is now technically classified as being 'out of date'.
Take the Ipod 2G. Once it was the pinnacle of 'modern' technology. Now its incompatible with 90% of the latest apps from the Itunes Store.
But taking this into account, upgrades are always possible.

The Velociraptor, once the strongest predator of the planet, now dead and gone due to becoming out of date thanks to time. Now, equip it with the latest smartphone and you've got a deadly killer on the loose.
Sounds rediculous, right? Rediculously insanely awesome more like!

On the other hand, sometimes upgrading isnt the best idea. Generally something one should into account is the fact that Old School Technology just WONT break. I've got a small analogue TV sitting on a table about five meters from my bed on the other side of a wall (sad). Greatest thing about it is that it simply continues to work considering that its about twenty years old. If not older.
But why replace it? Well, thats easy. Simply because TVNZ is switching off Analogue broadcasts and is only sending out Digital in the future.

So, we got a brand new Samsung TV. Digital recieving. Works brilliantly.

So, choosing whether or not to upgrade is your decision. In some cases, the problem is money, but gaining money is a subject upon which will be discussed at a later date.
Alternatively, you could get your friends to get it for you for Christmas or as a Birthday Gift.

Thats what I do. =P

Vanicus Progress

This Blog Update is completely unrelated to the rest of the universe. You can ignore it as you see fit.

Anyway, progress of Vanicus is making substantially good results. Here's some photos of the work that's been done.

Starship Awesomeness heading for a far off planet in the Ionian Nebula

In a galaxy so far away it hurts to think about the distance, on a planet slightly larger than our planet Earth, there was a community of human beings (Who cares how they happen to look and talk the same as us) who managed to get along with each other in perfect harmony. It is on this planet that I plan to travel to when our planet explodes after nuclear warfare between America, North Korea, Japan, Vietnam, China, Russia, England, France, Germany, Austrailia, Irag, Afganistan and South Africa.

I'll have a brilliant spaceship that bears a very similiar design to those of the UNSC Frigates, mainly because they look AWESOME.

I'll also have state of the art weaponry and my crew will all wear redshirts. I'll wear a blue uniform. This is because universal laws dictate that people in blue uniforms never die, only the ones wearing red ones, as Star Trek has taught us.

The trip will take approximately one hundred years, but it will only feel like one short sleep because me and the rest of the crew will all have cryopods, as was first brought about in Alien. That was a good movie.

There's going to be a plentiful supply of coke, chocolate and pies on board as food to be eaten. Though, it might not taste too great after being cryogenically frozen for about one hundred years. But, food is food and drink is drink. (There will also be water, but thats beside the point)
I think I might also have a few space nets installed, so I can do some fishing for space fish! (What majestic creatures). I wouldnt be able to cryogenically freeze their dead bodies. The smell alone would kill us. Who cares about salmonella when you can die from overwhelming smells!

As you have read from this post, I obviously have too much time on my hands. Either that, or I dream too much. Possibly both.
