Cameras

Cameras are a unique way of sharing and remembering the memories between the people who matter most! The kind of camera that i would want is, of course, a touchscreen! This camera is called the Nikon Coolpix and in pink certainly! On the website www.ndrs.org/cameras/ there are cameras ranging between $300 to $8000. So check it out for further information on various cameras!

Twilight

On Friday November 21st a huge debut in the movie theatres happened; Twilight. This book turned mega-production movie has been something worth talking about since last June! All of a sudden, the conversations turned into who was going to watch the opening on Thursday at 10pm and who had already gotten tickets! Stephanie Meyers "Twilight" is also a series with other books "New Moon" and "Eclipse". Hopefully, these books will be turned into movie productions as well! The reviews are quite mixed; some say dissapointing some say amazing but I guess you will have to see it for yourself!

Blackberry Storm

Trism for the iPhone: Makes big dollars

On CNN, a article came up for the game "Trism" downloaded on many iPhones. For this game it costs $2.99 and has made a total of $250 000 to date. The iPhone is a great way to develop the games and Steve Demeter, the createor of "Trism", is an ideal example. Within the two months this game has been installed it has made the much money as well as helped him to open a "game development field to entrepeneurs."

Remembrance Day

Here at Notre Dame in Vancouver, British Columbia, we as a school put on an interesting performance incorporating skits, videos and speeches. For the Remembrance Day ceremony, I was mainly backstage for stagecrew so did not get to see the production in itself! I do know that the movie, Band of Brothers, was playing one of the scenes and one of our teachers spoke on behalf of what the meaning of Remembrace day is.
