SLIPKNOT VS KOᴙN

Slipknot and Koᴙn  are both American nu-metal bands that both started performing in the early 90’s.(Koᴙn being a few years older than Slipknot) I love both of these bands, so I will be reviewing both of their greatest hits albums. Slipknot’s greatest hits are called: Antennas to Hell. While Koᴙn’s greatest hits are called: Greatest Hits Vol 1.

I have chosen these metal bands because; in the world of metal they are great rivals. I personally like Slipknot more because they are more known and I have been listening to them for a longer period of time. Koᴙn is also good, but I have just started listening to them for just a few weeks, so I am still getting used to the new songs that are getting blasted into my ears.

If you are a person that likes to bang your head a lot and make a big racket in the neighborhood, then Slipknot is the one to go for. If you like metal, but like a lower level intensity of hearing the classic metal growl, then Koᴙn is for you.

My favorite songs from Slipknot’s Antennas to Hell are: Left Behind, Psychosocial, Spit it Out, Surfacing, Before I Forget, People=S#!t, and Pulse of Maggots. I love these songs because I love heavy hardcore metal that will eventually destroy my eardrums and cause massive headaches. I’m not sure why I like this, but I just do with great respect for it.

My favorite songs from Koᴙn’s Greatest Hits Vol 1 are: Another Brick in the Wall, Word Up, A.D.I.D.A.S, Y’all Want a Single, Twist, and Clown. I love these songs only because Koᴙn is slightly more forgiving than Slipknot. So, after I listen to my favorite tracks from Slipknot, I listen to Koᴙn to cool the metal off a bit.

Both of these bands are awesome, but if I were to choose one I will of course go for the heavier Slipknot. I also like Koᴙn, but they are softer and not as violent… 

Below are the music videos of my favorite songs from each band. WARNING: IT HAS SOME GORE!!!

Five Years Later.....

In five years time I hope that I will be studying in university somewhere in Australia. I am not sure where yet, but that location must have a golf course nearby so that I can practice on a regular basis. But I am still not sure, because at that time I will be 19 years old, and would have met lots of different people that can change the course of my dreams.

In university I want to study networking in I.T. I want to study this subject because I was told by an experienced I.T. man that there are lots of people in the world which are looking for people who know how to set up a network or server system. Studying in university is now very important these days, because if you don’t have the knowledge or skill, then you will not find many jobs with high pay too easily.

Apart from my university, I also want to become a professional golf player. Ever since I was small I wanted to play in the tour with other professionals. This dream of mine has made me addicted to playing the game for more than four years, and I hope for more years to come. If I can one day become a professional, then that would make me feel satisfied with my life and not wanting it to end early for some reason.

So, in five years time I want to become a professional golf player on tour, while also having networking in I.T. as a side job that earns an extra bit more money.

Making A WIFI Signal Booster

Hi there. Ever had trouble connecting to your home WIFI system, and it is just a little bit out of range? Well I get that problem. In my house the WIFI machine is in the office which is downstairs, and my room is upstairs, so I don't get a signal. What I am going to show you how to make today is a WIFI signal booster.

Step 1 is an important step. This step is just to gather up the materials you will need to make this device. Below are the items needed:

• The template which needs to be printed A4 size(which you can acquire by clicking here)
• A3 card
• Aluminium-foil
• A glue-stick
• Scissors or a paper cutter( if using a paper cutter you also need a strong ruler)

Our second step is to glue the template to the A3 card. I would recommend to use a lot of glue so that the template does not peel itself off of the card.

The third step is to flip the card over and stick the aluminum-foil to it. We must use aluminum-foil because this will help project the signal out a farther distance.

Step 4 is to carefully cut around the template. The template consists of two sections. There is one circular shaped piece, and one squared piece. This is the hardest step, because if you accidently cut a line right through the middle of it, then you will have to restart the whole creation.

In step five we need to cut holes in the middle of the template. There are already indications on where to cut. Try and cut the holes on the circular template big enough so that the WIFI antenna can go through.

 

In our penultimate step, we need to fold the shape. First we have to fold the circular shape.  The circular shape has five tabs which you must slot into the five open slot holes in the square shape. If this step sounds confusing, then please consider looking have a look at the picture below.

Alright now it is the last step. In this step we have to just put the antenna through the last two holes.

Now we are done! If you have created it correctly, then your signal can be boosted by a whole 25%. If you are confused on how to make this then you can click here and watch the same video I watched a few months ago.
