#27 Obamarama

I didn't ever really think about the fact that Obama's taken the Oath of Office 4 times, well kind of. One of the times the words got messed up and they started over so I guess that wasn't a complete take. That was during his 1st presidency. This time around it was because the inauguration fell on a Sunday, so they had a small ceremony that day, and then a big public one on Monday, MLK Jr. Day.  I would assume the other president to do this would be Franklin Roosevelt, considering he was elected 4 times. He was elected in 1932, 1937, 1941, and 1945.

#28 Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, Oh MY!

I think each kind of computer will have it's place in the future - desktops are good for things like coding and doing business work. Laptops on the other hand provide more convenience. Tablets are super-duper convenient but not as good for business stuff and definitely not good for coding. I don't know which is the best. I can't say one is ultimately superior than another. I like the desktop setup the best, though I wish they were better desktops. I also wish we had tablets to draw with. That would be the ideal coding/drawing set-up and I think it would help us all immensely.

#26 Gun Control

I'm torn on agreeing or disagreeing with stronger gun laws. The part of the 2nd Amendment that no one seems to remember is that it says "well regulated militia" not "any citizen who wants one." However, instead of introducing new laws that some argue may violate civil rights, why not amend the amendment? That's the whole point of the Constitution - that it could be changed to reflect the times. Well, the times of muskets are over and semi-automatics are a whole different story. Banning them probably won't stop much of the crime - handguns commit the vast, vast majority of gun crimes. Criminals don't follow laws - that's what makes them criminals. But I'm not sure getting semis off the streets is such a bad idea. & how about instead of just taking guns away from everyone deemed mentally ill, we instead focus on helping the mentally ill. In short, I don't know and I don't want to talk about it with people whose minds are so set in stone by party lines that they aren't willing to see compromise.

#25 Facebook

I think the "secret" Facebook is about to reveal is another search engine to rival Google. It probably won't do very well. I do use Facebook, though not nearly as much as I used to. I use to mostly to talk to people, keep up with family, and share pictures. It's kind of dying a slow death right now, though.

#24 Drag and Drop

Drag and drop is an interesting kind of gameplay. It's unlike anything that Team Milkapedia did last year, so it's good to keep expanding my Flash knowledge. However, I don't like that it is required to be in the demo somewhere, because then there's a lot less self-learning. Anyway, the way Austin uses his drag and drop is pretty cool, and I do think it's a nice tool. I think this level is going to be the only one I use it for though.
