Change the world

    If I had to choose a future career it would be to star on Broadway. I hope that music and theater could not benefit me but the world we live in as well. We had and still do lots of musical performers such as Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, ad Maroon 5. I wish I could go around the world and share my music with those who need it the most like people who live in bad parts of country's or young kids in hospitals. To me music and the arts are a wonderful thing and I hope that some day dreams come true.

Tech Article 5/15

                                        Ubisoft will release virtual reality games in 2016


The Animus in Assassin's Creed

My tech article this week is about Ubisoft creating reality games and will maybe be released in 2016. Company chief Yves Guillemot tells investors that Ubi is developing a certain number of titles that will take advantage of VR devices once they start reaching stores in in 2016. The challenge is building games that suit the virtual environment, it's hard to play for a long time with a display strapped to your head. I hope that they develop good games.

My invisible cloak good deed

Today I was chosen by the government to wear an invisible cloak and perform a good deed without recognition. It's just one good deed with so many options; should I save the rain-forest, help an elderly lady cross the highway or stop robbers from getting away with stolen money. It took me a while but I've decided to help animals in need. I put on the cloak and traveled around town looking for any animal in need.




                                                                             

 I went all around town and spotted a dog in a burning house. Firemen rush to the rescue but can't find the dog. This was my chance to perform a good deed. The cloak is fire proof so I'll be ok. I rush in and spot the dog under the bed. I rush in and get the dog. I get out with the dog and give it to the owner who is very happy but a little frightened of her dog floating in the air. As soon as my good deed is up the cloak disperses and I continue doing good deeds whenever I can.
