Monkey Cake

So, I don't know about you, but I love monkeys. I have always wanted a pet monkey, and have even looked into getting one. To my dismay it is rather difficult to get one, let alone have it end up being a good pet for a long time. The pet idea is not worth the money or the effort. So, instead I found this MONKEY CAKE!!! The link connects to Smitten Kitchen, a food blog. If I want one thing for my birthday(which is rather far off) it would be a monkey cake.

Real Madrid's abysmal performance

I know I haven't posted in a while or about soccer yet at all, but I am an avid soccer fan.  My favorite team is Real Madrid.  They had a recent clasico match against Barcelona. The two were the top ranked teams in La Liga, the Spanish Premier League.  Real Madrid was blown out in a 5-0 loss. Barca got out to an early 2-0 lead, and never let up.  They scored an early 2 in the second half as well. to put them up 4-0.  The second half sub was also able to score putting the final score at 5-0. Not only did Real lose, but they let Barca slip past them to take over the top spot.  I was truly disappointed to hear the result and hope they can bounce back quickly.

Old Spice Commercial Remix

If you have ever seen that Old Spice commercial The Man Your Man Could Smell Like and liked it then odds are you will laugh at this one too. It's a Sesame Street remake of it, and i thought it was funny.

Quantum Computing

Here is an article about quantum computing.  If you do not have at least a basic understanding of how computers work and math then it might be a little difficult to understand everything in the article.

For those of you that do not know, quantum computing is the next next generation of computing so to speak. Quantum computing is a way to obsolete a lot of the things we use today if it can be made more practical.  Right now it is still difficult to produce results with much significance. Simple arithmetic can be done but not the breaking of encryption. As stated in the article if quantum computing is allowed to reach even a fraction of its potential it will be able to compute things that would take lifetimes for a normal computer or super computer to finish. It has been talked about for a while now but progress is still somewhat slow.  With the completion of a true quantum computer we will witness another technology boom.  At least as far as computers and encryption go. If there is no new encryption method then a quantum computer would be able to hack all of the essential files of all the nations of the world and wreak havoc.  The power of a quantum computer is a truly astonishing thing to think about, and one that I personally can not wait for.
