Internet broke

Two days ago we had a big thunder storm where I live. Shortly after it finished my internet stopped working. The last time it happened it turned out they were doing maintenance so I left it alone because I thought that was happening again. After two days I thought it can't be that so we got Bell on the phone and apparently my account wouldn't take the password Bell gave me 5 years ago anymore so we had to change it.

My New Old Computer

Today I got my 15th computer. I set it up and everything and I can't get the monitor that came with it to work. I've got three other monitors to try it out on so I can still use it. I also got a very old printer with it. The printer isn't in the picture to the left of this post. For some reason I can't get a good picture of it without the flash on my camera. I turned it off because I kept getting a reflection of the flash on the screen. Lately I've been looking into getting a DSLR camera.

15 computers starting tomorrow

In one of my videos I said I had 14 computers. Tomorrow I'll be getting another one. Why do I collect computers? A few years ago I started going to Lifetime Learning Centre and I was taking a computer technician class. I told a few people I need an old computer to practice stuff on. That class finished 5 years ago and people still give me their old computers that they don't want anymore. I'd rather take them off their hands than pollute China. If you don't believe me watch a movie called Manufacturing Landscapes. In the picture to the left you can see 6 computers. Two laptops and 4 towers or as some people call them chassis. Monitors don't count as computers. I have no apple computers. Apple decided to insult a lot of people because they use PCs so I refuse to ever get one of their computers. I've seen Macs crash a lot more than PCs and whenever there's a big computer virus outbreak it happens to be the Mac users that get them the most.

computer problems

For those of you that don't know, I also have another job other than helping out at my school. I also copy dvds for a magician. Relax it's legal, he made the dvd so he owns all the copyrights and everything so he pays me to make 100 or more dvds for him everytime I see him. Today I was making more discs when a part fell off the cd/dvd tray. I know a lot about computers but most of them don't have that black thing in the middle of the tray to hold the disc. It fell off earlier today but I was able to get it back on and it hasn't fallen off again. I need to know if I should get this fixed or just leave it the way it is.

Updated Edgar's character profile

I just updated Edgar's character profile. I came up with a few things about him in the video so I thought I should add them to his profile. At one part in the video Edgar said he needs help setting up a webcam. I have a plan in a future video to show all my characters on omegle video chat or chatroulette talking to people. It's an idea I got after watching a youtube member named MagicofRahat do magic tricks on those same sites.

New banner

Now that I got a new character I thought I would update the banner on the top of this site. I didn't really like the way I looked on the old one and I didn't do a good job of putting Steve on the last one. All you could see of Steve on the old one was his head. I don't have the original photoshop file for when I created the old one so I couldn't just put Edgar in it, so instead of doing a whole bunch of editing on the old one I decided to redo the whole thing. When I made the first banner I used a different picture for me and Steve. Last year on Hallowe'en at my school I took Steve with me and somebody took a picture of me with a professional camera. Two days ago I was finally given the picture so I decided to put it in the banner. For those of you that never saw the old one, here it is.

New Video is finally finished

I finally got Edgar's video up. You can see it in the Videos section. In the video I mentioned that I help out classes at my school sometimes. This year I'm helping out the digital photography class at Lifetime Learning Centre. It's a school in St. Catharines, Ontario. A while ago they learned how to do light painting so I thought I would try it out with my camera. So here is a picture I did with Edgar. I tried to make it look like the light was coming out of his mouth.

Edgar Episode 1

Edgar Tumming video problems

Apparently it's going to take longer to record my new video than I planned. I recorded two videos yesterday but I kept forgetting what joke I was on when I did them so I recorded a new one today and my camera died halfway through the recording and I have no more AA batteries. I didn't know it took those kind of batteries when I bought it. I bought it because I was surprised about how good the HD quality was on this little camera. From what I've been told, this camera has been discontinued so I don't know how long before the company decides to not fix the broken ones. My camera's not broken so I don't have to worry about that right now. Anyway the video might not be up until sometime this weekend. Right now all you can see is a picture and a character profile of Edgar.

My birthday

Today is my birthday. I got a new puppet that I've named Edgar Tumming. For a few months I've been addicted to the game Angry Birds so I got the board game version (yes, it's real). I got the Terry Fator autobiography "Who's the dummy now?" I started reading it today and I had no idea he had ADD. Looks like I'm not the only ventriloquist with a disability. I don't have ADD. I have a very rare disability called Ring 22 Chromosome. It's not in every cell in my body so I don't have all the symptoms. Anyway I haven't got all my presents yet. My brother may be over at my house tomorrow or Friday to give me his present. I knew all the presents I was getting but I refused to know what my brother got me. I like him to surprise me just like I do every year on his birthday. I don't normally blog about my day on here but I might start doing that a lot more so look for more of these updates.

Edgar Tumming

Edgar is an orangutan monkey. He insists his last name is pronounced two ming. For years he was experimented on by scientists until PETA saved him. He's very smart due to all the experiments the scientists did on him. Ever since he got away from the scientists he's been learning how to use the computer. He also watches tv. Unfortunately there are a few things about tv shows he doesn't understand. For example he thinks the characters on the Simpsons have jaundice.
