On my kindle, I’ve just started reading Jedi Manual Basic – Introduction to Jedi Knighthood. After the first chapter you are given a writing assignment.

Below are the instructions given in the book. Under that I’m sharing my essay with you.

Maybe you’ll agree and maybe you won’t, but these are my thoughts on the reading and the research that I’ve done. At any rate, I hope you enjoy it.

I’m sure that most of the world wasn’t waiting for this movie since they were little kids. I’m sure even less of you were waiting for this after Ironman. The proof is that most of the world didn’t wait for Nick Fury to make his big screen debut after the credits of that film, but I did. And I was waiting for this since I was a little kid. And today was the day… Would it live up to the critical acclaim, I’ve been hearing about? Would it live up to my lofty expectations?

The simplest answer is yes and no.

As we start the 4th week of the baseball season, there’s a lot of fantasy goings on. At least in my clubhouse. Since 2007, I’ve been an avid fantasy baseball owner. Playing a daily pitch and ditch style, monitoring who’s hot and who’s not, and making moves to better my team. I’m a huge fan of baseball.

But like most devout fans, my fandom wavered.

So, one of the richest people in Australia wants to construct Titanic II. Well, “wants” is the wrong world, he “is” constructing Titanic II. He’s commissioned a state-owned Chinese company to construct the ship. But wait, there’s more, he’s going to build it with the exact dimensions of the original ship, you know, the one that’s at the bottom of the North Atlantic. Doesn’t this seem a bit odd?

Doesn’t it seem like he’s really tempting fate here?

I was extremely interested when I heard about BO.LT. It was like Pinterest but instead of just one image it saves a permanent copy of a website for you. An archive like that is very useful to professional web designers and amateurs like myself. You can bolt a great design and keep it, even if it gets redesigned, you’ll have a copy your original inspiration. Also, you’ll be able to bolt sites before you redesign them, in order to have a copy of where you came from.

The concept is solid and with Pinterest soaring in popularity, I can see a similar rise for BO.LT as well.
