The Hunger Games Review

I recently went to go see The Hunger Games the night it came out. I loved the movie and thought it did a great job in portraying the book. Even though I think it was a great movie I wished they would have added a few more things, and emphasize more key points. One of the things I loved about the book was how Katniss pretended to like Peeta for sponsors, but in the movie they did not really tell you about that they just showed her falling in love with him. They also cut out some characters I liked in the movie like Madge. Overall, I thought it was a great movie. Eventhough they left out a few things, all movies based on books do.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics are the study of human body's in the work space and how they use their equipment in the work space. Some bad habits people repeat the work space are leaning back in your chair, slumping in your chair, and holding the phone between your shoulder and ear. While people sit at their computer their is a certain posture they should use. Some key posture points are they should sit back against the chair and sit up straight, their eyes should be level with the top of the computer screen, and there elbows and wrist should be level with the home row keys. I did not think our work stations are completely ergonomically sound because you can not adjust the chair height, there are no arm rests, and there are a few more things not sound.

Blurred Images On Google Maps

Do you think it's justified that some images are blurred on Google Maps? Have you ever noticed anything mysterious on the site? I think it is justified if people do not want you seeing there campuses, cites, military bases, government buildings, exc. then they have a right have google maps blur it out. Many of the images that are blurred are government building which people really don't need to be seeing and they have good reason to blur. I have never seen anything mysterious on google maps and think the blurring is okay.

Oreos!!

Guess what? That's right this year is Oreo's 100th birthday. I LOVE Oreos a lot!! There are so many different types of Oreos there is double stuffed, Easter, Cakester, vanilla, and the new 100th birthday flavor, and more. I am absolutely in love. Oreos are the absolute best thing ever, even though they are very unhealthy which is very unfortunate. Remember Oreos are amazing. Happy Birthday Oreos!
