Today's Activities

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317238) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 29 Apr 16

I've been telling myself for a long time now that I'm going to visit all the people I follow, especially since I don't seem to see some of you very often. I did that this morning. I haven't touched my notifications yet today,...

Tyler Zahnke I've mostly been having fun online, listening to my own mixtapes, and showing my mixtapes to the world. The mixtape culture is the whole reason I started using the name Mini Nifty for certain projects, and I'm trying to spread awareness of this odd genre of...

If TV Could Give Us Skills

Ivelisse Cruz @IvySaysHi (4467) • United States 28 Apr 16

Could you imagine learning skills just from watching stuff on TV? Like I wish i could just watch a few cooking shows and become an instant great chef with all the knowledge of one. I am not sure what else i would watch to gain...

Tyler Zahnke I would watch cooking shows as well to learn about cooking, but I would also watch Talentwatch so I know what budding, about-to-become-famous musicians sound like. I also enjoy learning about business in the digital era (a.k.a. business in the Nifty Digit...

whats your view on blaming inventions for our mistakes ?

Parasuram Pothiraj @meltzlotz (34) • India 29 Apr 16

A thief stole precious jewels when there is no electricity. The set of people who blame the thief for their carelessness are normal human being. There will be another set of people, who blame electricity as it helped the thief to...

Tyler Zahnke I would personally never blame anything on an invention; I would blame it on the people who did the crime. I have never blamed anything on a machine or concept.

I fell asleep-so weird.

Jo Ann @akalinus (43366) • United States 24 Apr 16

Last night, I could not sleep. I finally got up and stayed up. Tonight, I fell asleep around 5:30 pm. I woke up at 8:30. I thought it was morning. I thought I slept all night, stinky in my clothes. My son was downstairs...

Tyler Zahnke I have had this disorientation before, but it is very rare. Usually after those nights when I have a hard time sleeping, and then I fall asleep at around 3:00 a.m., I wake up, think it's 6:00, and it turns out to be noon already! Say! Sometimes I set my alarm...

4,800 years

marcyaz @Marcyaz (35316) • United States 29 Apr 16

I saw this on Fox news. Archaeologists discover 4,800-year-old fossil of a mother cradling a baby in her arms in Taiwan. The mother and child were found among 48 sets of remains. The remains are the earliest evidence of...

Did An Advanced civilization helped create modern humans?

SilverKing @SilverKing (1003) • Canada 24 Apr 16

Is it possible that extraterrestrials came and breaded or embedded something in our genes to make us more intelligent than we were. Also do you think that they gave us some of the technology we have today.

Tyler Zahnke I don't truly believe one side or the other, but my mind is open to many theories. I don't personally think that aliens actually created modern humans; I think modern humans were what our ancestors evolved into by natural evolution. However, when I tried my...

This New Age We Live In

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317238) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 28 Apr 16

It might seem strange to some of you who have only been around only a couple decades that there was a time when you could only do one thing with a phone - talk on it. You couldn't text anyone. You couldn't carry it around in...

Tyler Zahnke I have recently been thinking and writing (and occasionally reading) about the most recent changes in technology. I love how everything seems to be becoming digital; I always used the term "Nifty Digit Nation", a coinage of mine, to describe what we are...

Music is my best friend

Babygirlrae @carebear29 (31970) • Wausau, Wisconsin 1 Apr 16

As I write this post I am listening to my music. The addictive song I am into is Refoo "Juicy Wiggle." I love it and wish Apple had it as a ringtone along with "Booty Man." Music is my best friend because it calms me down, keeps...

Tyler Zahnke I like ambient music and electronic synthesized music. Look up Richard Harvey's Nifty Digits, and if you want a real samplefest, just look up Wayne Butane! It gets me all happy and singy!

Do you like scary movies? Which one is your favorite?

Bella @Bella128 (2471) • United States 26 Apr 16

Scary movies and me are an interesting thing. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I enjoy watching them if they have a good storyline and backstory but generally speaking I do not like scary movies. This is confusing...

Tyler Zahnke I usually don't watch scary movies, but Schizo (1976) was an exception, mostly because it starred British people, and I was introduced to the lovely and talented British actress Lynne Frederick. But let's not lie; the whole reason I watched that movie is...

What is your favorite song?

Bella @Bella128 (2471) • United States 26 Apr 16

There are so many songs out there it's hard to pick just one. For me I think I like picking a favorite for each band/singer that I like. Do you have a favorite song or are you like me and do you like many songs?

Tyler Zahnke I am very much like you; I could never pick a favorite song; my life is just stuck with music, being a musician and sound artist and all that! But if my life depended on it, Song of the Open Spaces by Richard Harvey would have to be my favorite; it's just so...

Tyler Zahnke Go to the College Prep Program, go to a Weird Al concert, complete my mixtape, sing duets with the other Nifty, and donate to the Eric and Shaye movie because maybe then I will be able to see it before it officially comes out on DVD.

First Concert Watched

cherigucchi @cherigucchi (14876) • Philippines 22 Apr 16

Tyler Zahnke It depends on what it is! If it's an independent movie with low production values, I probably wouldn't mind a spoiler. I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I looked it up on Wikipedia before it came out, but that was during a time when spoilers weren't really...

Tyler Zahnke I would say there are quite a few, especially since I have access to YouTube and a YouTube downloader site. I don't have any David Bowie albums; I don't even have any Ultraviolet Hippopotamus albums! But whenever either one comes on the radio, I get excited!...
