Hey. Firstly, you don’t have to answer this question if you don’t want to. How do your peers at school etc. react when they see your YouTube channel and site etc? [As asked on FormSpring]

Good question!

At first people thought it was kind of “out there”, but I think as time went on, people thought it was just a “thing”. Just like anyone else plays basketball, or is a “bookworm”, so I had a website and have a bunch of viewers.

I was nervous at first too, and I always have trouble with the line “don’t worry what others think”, but I just did it. It’s become more of a topic of conversation now with me. Maybe always in a joking way, but never anything truly bad.

Have I gotten the occasional strange, or awkward comment? Sure, but it bounces off.

Maybe I’m just lucky. But I’m not the ONLY one, you know :)

A Quick Word On Season 2 of TechKnowledgey

// June 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // Entertainment, General, Information, Internet, Life, Media, TechKnowledgey

What is your favorite Internet browser? [As asked on FormSpring]

// June 18th, 2010 // 5 Comments » // Apple, Community, Internet, Social Media, Tech

I would definitely have to say it’s Safari. It’s the nicest looking browser by far, and I always just loved the way it functions. Now, I do use Chrome as a secondary browser, and I have FIreFox installed as well, but I just always liked the design and the way Safari functioned.

(Now that only happens to be if you are on a Mac. It is not quite as nice on a PC. Then, I’d say go Chrome.)

Plus, now with Safari 5, there are finally extension and all sorts of other nice new features that really make using it even better. (I got this cool Google Reader plugin the other day that is just Fraggin’ AWESOME!)

On that note though, and with this I shall conclude, I would have to say that I did notice that the Safari 5 update did slow things down to some degree. It seems they would just have to work on optimization a little more. I just can’t switch to any other browser though.

So, to recap – Safari 5 it is for me!
