Admin, Blogging, Site.

On the 24th of this month, Shanebellinger.com or “Shane’s  World” will be two years old! Two years went by so fast. I have had a a few thousand hits on this site, and I do have a number of readers, most of them are people I know, but some are not. I am really happy to have people reading this site, even though a lot of it is fairly boring. I try my best to make this site as interesting as it can be. I hope to post a lot more. Currently there are 229 posts on this site. There will hopefully be at least 350 by the end of this year. I usually post the most during the summer.I hope to be posting again soon!

Spring is Coming!

Posted on March 26th, 2008 by Shane.
Boring Posts, Weather.

We had so much snow a few weeks ago. A lot of it has already melted, and the temperatures look like they are warming up, slowly. In a about two weeks, the weather reporters are saying the temperatures are supposed to be almost 10°C. That will be really good. I really want the warm temperatures to get here, and fast!! I’m really tired of the seeing snow. I really want to see the green again. Hopefully all the snow will be gone soon! I know we will get a few more days with flurries and light snow, but after that, it should all be done.~SHANE

It’s already the last weekend of February! It’s almost already March! I can’t wait for Spring! I hope soon that  I will have more time to write posts. I’ve been so busy lately. That is about all for now, and I hope to be back again soon, and I also hope to get this site to be more interesting, and I also hope to start adding product reviews.

That’s all! I will be back soon (hopefully)

Starting Product Reviews

Posted on January 6th, 2008 by Shane.
Admin, News.

I have decided when I have nothing to write about (which happens quite a lot) I will do a product review. I will like to talk more about household items and computer related items, such as small household appliances, furniture, and other small things you would find around your home. For Computer related items I would talk about printers (I have 4 to talk about in later) computer accessories such as speakers, different cables and connectors. I also like to talk more about Apple stuff, since I like using my Mac WAY more than I like using my big, slow PC from 2004. I would talk about iPods, and accessories for them, and various other Apple products, and Apple compatible products.

I hope the Product reviews that I will soon be posting here will prove useful for some people. Please leave your comments to tell if the review has been useful. I will also be setting up a post rating system so readers can rate the reviews from 1 to 5 stars.

I will post pictures of the product I will review, and a description of it, and why I like it. I may even post a video once in a while. I will also post info on where to purchase the product.

That’s about all for now, I look forward to do some reviews!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas of 2007 is already here! It seems like Christmas ‘06 was just here, and 2007 just started, but it’s already Christmas, and 2007 is almost over! We had our family party last night. The next party will be New Years. We will probably only do something small, though. I was really happy with the party last night.

I really don’t have too much to say, but I thought I’d just post this, saying Merry Christmas!! to everyone!

Lots of Snow

There has been lots of snow falling here in Ottawa. I’m really happy for all the snow! There is a lot more snow in the forecast. I am happy that so much snow is falling, because this year we might even have a white Christmas. We have not had a lot of snow on Christmas in a few years, and I’m really happy that there will be a good amount of snow on the ground this year.

I can’t wait for the Holidays! Just 8 more days for me, and then it is the Christmas Holidays. We are having Christmas in Chelsea, QC, at my aunt and uncle’s house this year. We had New Years ‘07 there, but we have not had Christmas there in a while.

I can’t believe that this year is already coming to an end!

That’s it for now!! I hope to post again soon! Check for new fall photos that I will be posting on my Photo Site.

That’s all the pictures I have for now. Next I will start looking at my iPod, and take some pictures of it.

I have had my MacBook for exactly two weeks now and I love it. It’s the best computer I have ever used. It does everything I want it to do, it meets all of my needs, and it the perfect computer for me.

I switched from PC to Mac two weeks now, and I’m never going back to a PC! If I need windows, which I might in the future, I can install it on my Mac. I can run windows and Mac OS on my computer, so a Mac is all that I will ever need.

First Day of the 2007-2008 School Year!

Posted on September 4th, 2007 by Shane.
Life, Random, School.

Today just flew by! We did not do any work at all today. It was just an intro to the classes and the teachers talked a bit about themselves, and what we would be doing in each class through out the year. I am really looking forward to this year. The classes will be a lot easier this year, because they have been shortened a lot compared to last year’s class times. This will also make the day go b quicker.

I have just about all of the supplies I need, but I need to bring in a few things here and there. Starting tomorrow, we are going to start having the first assemblies for the year. They are to introduce all new students to the school, and talk about things the school does, and what they expect and other stuff. I’m not sure when we will really start getting into the work, right now the teachers are just handing out a whole lot of forms, newsletters, and other assorted papers and guidelines.

Everything seems good so far, and it was a very good first day.

All Ready for Back to School!

Posted on September 3rd, 2007 by Shane.
Big Events, Life, Mac, School.

We finally got all of our back to school shopping all done yesterday. Everything is done and ready for back to school. I packed up and I’m ready for tomorrow morning.

I Packed:

  • 6 Binders
  • Pens
  • Pencils
  • Paper
  • Small Storage Boxes for my Locker
  • Calculator
  • Lock
  • Artist’s Pencils and Coloured Pencils for Art Class
  • Rulers
  • A few blank Notebooks
  • Locker Shelves
  • Locker Organizers
  • Tape
  • Memory Stick (For transfering files from school to home- because I don’t really want to bring my laptop to School)
  • Sticky Notes
  • That’s about all I packed for now. When I go to school, they should tell me within the first few weeks if you are missing something, or need something extra.

    I also have my New 2.16 GHz MacBook, which will make schoolwork and homework a LOT easier. My PC is good, but it is a few years old, and it is getting quite slow. I’m glad I have my Mac. I have not installed all of the software I want on my Mac Yet, but I do have Office for Mac, which is a Must Have for school.

    Along with my Mac I got a new HP Photosmart Printer + Copier + Scanner, which will be good for school to, for printing out presentations and posters. I have an HP Lazer Jet that I got in February, Which is great for printing out Text and reports, but not pictures, and it’s just a black and white printer.

    For now, I seem all set for tomorrow!

    Second Day with my MacBook

    Posted on September 1st, 2007 by Shane.
    Design, Life, Mac.

    I have had my Shiny new MacBook for two days now, and I love it. I had orginally said it was the base model, but I actually have an upgraded model now, and I’m glad I do. It’s the 2.16 GHz in White. I really like the computer, and it has a very attractive design.

    I am still getting used to the Mac, and I’m still installing software on it. Unfortunately, I can’t install some of the web design software I use becuase it is not compatible with Macs, and it is too old. Sometime, I’m going to get a Mac Version of the Adobe Dreamweaver software, along with Photoshop for mac and some other software.

    For now, I will use my PC to do design work. My Mac will be used for design work when I get the right software for it. I do have a lot more to install, I currently have Office 2004 Student Edition installed on my Mac.

    My Mac will be perfect for ALL School Work, Homework and presentations. It’s soooo much faster compared to my PC, which I really like.

    I am so happy I got the Mac. I still have some learning to do, but It’s excellent so far!

    I want to post some reviews on the Mac within the next few weeks. It’s back to school on Tuesday, and I will probably be quite busy. I will actually be looking forward to homework and presentations, because I’ll do it on my New Mac. I also got a new HP colour printer to go with my new system. I have a newer HP lazer printer aswell. I am all ready for back to school!

    That’s about all for tonight!

    Tomorrow, we are going to continue with the Back to school Shopping, so I will have EVERYTHING for Tuesday.

    I am using my Mac to write this, too, I like the Safari Browser a lot too.

    One thing that I already found with the Mac is that it does get really hot. I found that SMC Fan Control made a huge difference. The temperature dropped a lot after I increased the fan speed from 1,800 rpms to 6,200 rpms. I only put it to the max speed if it gets really hot though, just to save battery power, if I don’t have it plugged in.

    That’s about all for tonight!

    Getting a MacBook!!!!

    Posted on August 24th, 2007 by Shane.
    Life, Mac.

    As I mentioned in my last post, I’m getting a MacBook. It’s coming sometime (probably closer to the end of the week) Next week! I can hardly wait! I’ve been wanting a MacBook for so long now, and its getting closer and closer!

    The Mac I chose was a more basic model, but from what I’ve heard about them, every mac is really good. I’m Getting the MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz in White. I saw a model at the store, and it look really nice. I love everything about the MacBook.

    I have used a mac before, and I like it a lot more than windows. I have a desktop PC, and I wanted a laptop. I like the Mac’s system, so I decided to go with the MacBook. I looked at soooo many different laptops for months now, and I think the MacBook is the right one for me.

    I have heard a lot of positive comments from Mac and MacBook users. I like the way Macs run, and I really love the way the MacBook looks, too.

    I also mentioned in my last post that I was going to get an iPod. I did. I bought a brand new Silver 2GB iPod nano. I’m not going to start using it until I get my Mac.

    I am so looking forward to the End of the Week next week!!

    Summer ‘07 coming to an end

    Posted on August 19th, 2007 by Shane.
    Design, General, Mac, Random, School.

    I can’t believe it’s already heading into late August! It’s almost back to school! I am kind of looking forward to it, and kind of not, but I know it will be a good year. I am busy working on a big web project for one of my clients. That is why I have not been posting lately. I am also going to be working EXREMELY hard on it this week, and for a little bit next week because I have to have the project completed by the 31st.

    Everything else is going well, sometime this week in the evening after I’m finished working on my web project for the day, I’m going to go back to school shopping. I need to buy the usual school supplies. I don’t think it will take too long.

    Before or a little bit after I start school, I’m getting a new computer! I have decided on a White 13″ MacBook! I am really looking forward to getting it! My computer I have is still perfectly good, but I really want a laptop, so that’s what I’m getting. I’m still going to use my current computer for some things, including some design work. School work, reports and other things will probably be done on my Mac. I’m also going to get an iPod too, something that I’ve been meaning to get for a long time now.

    Good Summer So Far!

    Posted on July 24th, 2007 by Shane.
    Canada, Design, Good Stuff, Random, Summer, Weather.

    I have been quite busy, so I have not had the opportunity to post lately. The summer is going quite well. It’s very warm, and it is supposed to get warmer. We are not doing too much right now, but I’m still enjoying the summer.

    We just recently drove to Montreal, Canada from Ottawa, and we went to the Biodome de Montreal. It was okay, but it was very busy when we went. I had wanted to go to the Botanical Gardens section to take pictures of the flowers, and plants, but it would have taken too long, and it was already getting late. I have posted a few pictures I took in Montral and at the Biodome on Officiallyshane.org.

    We are not doing too much now, but we will when my relatives from Dallas comes. They are coming next week. I know we will do more then.

    Right now, I’m just starting a new web project for a company called Biokinetics and Associates, LTD. I am going to do a full design of their site. It will take a few weeks. They are my Third Client.

    That’s It!!
