watchmen blog

Superheroes have evolved over the years in a variety of ways. Super man who was created in about 1933 wearing really tight pants and shirt with a bright red S on his shirt would draw much attention to himself; he would need to take extra care to hide his identity. Wolverine on the other hand looks more normal and rugged. He was portrayed in X-men origins to have been a tough woodsman and would blend into a crowd not drawing attention to him self. He wears no mask unlike batman and Spiderman who conceal there identity. In the book watchmen there are a variety of characters, all having super powers. This group of superheros was created in 1986 and took place during the cold war. Superheroes are here to help, they may not be real but they have morals and can prove to be someone to look up to if needed.

Review of my wakesurf

The Liquid Force Custom Thruster is an amazing Wakesurf. The light weight design truly brings out the best of Wakesurfing. This 4.6 board is the perfect size for doing tricks and carving. This board has a 3 fin set up superior tracking off the bottom and quicker edge to edge transition. It is nice to ride and fits rider weight up to 200lbs. The colour is a classic surfboard white and has a rainbow edge surrounding the border of the vessel. This board may look great and perform supreme excellence but it lacks durability. Last summer I purchased this board, within the first month it had a slight gash witch lead into a water filled crack, weighting it down by the tens of pounds. This proved to be a major flaw in the construction of this board. The company should put a protective layer to defend it from harm. When using this board one must give it tender loving care. This board may be excellent in weight and speed but lack the necessary durability of what a Wakesurf needs to last more than a few months of riding.

perception is everything

In the presentation by Beau Otto on optical illusions he states that what we see is not necessarily real. Every one my see that same thing but be influenced and notice it in different ways. The colour blue for someone could really be someone else’s red, but have been taught that it’s called blue.  If everyone saw the same thing interpreting it in the same way we as humans would be identical and indifferent. Our world would be boring. In his presentation he has a swarm of bee’s collecting honey from different circles shawn with different colours. The bees were tricked by the illusion and the shadows to get honey from different coloured circles then from what they did in the past. The media in our society influences us dramatically. Photoshop can create illusions and make our minds think differently and make decisions based on something that is not necessarily true. In our world today people need to be careful what they believe because not everything is what we think it is.
