FOCUS: Universal Serial Bus

Walking on the online pathway, spending your time. You click out of the browser when all of a sudden, you remember you need to download some pictures from your camera.

What is USB? United Streaming Bargainer? Underaged Sporting Bicycle? (Those aren’t ports, are they?) WHAT IS USB? Congragulations, you’ve experienced the USB Sydrome (joke). But what is USB mean?

USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus”. It is a port that is widely used for connecting objects. Some of the most frequent objects that use USB ports (most of them) are:

  • Cameras
  • Keyboards
  • Mouses

Origami Project is Totally OUT!

Origami Project, www.origamiproject.com, has been something we have all been wondering about (that was a long time ago). But now, it’s out. In the matter of fact, it’s WAY out.

You play on RUNESCAPE.COM? Yeah. That game. It’s fun, isn’t it, although I’ve never spent much time on it myself. Anyways, chat here about it. Hehehehe. And don’t do any inappropriate. If a kid comes on and sees you talk about the part when you kill the …………………… , they might not be abselutly happy. So keep it down.
