outdated technology, a short rant.

Computers are passé. Invest in typewriters. I'm serious, I Have Had some time alone with Jacks Computory Device, time enough to copy the design for formatting the posts to upload them into this blog. So I know what I am talking about when I say, 
Computers Will Never Last. 
The Design is so simplistic, almost like it was designed by a bunch of 
monkeys. 
Which makes sense you know, when you think about the evoloutionary cycle of the human being, they are basically apes. I mean ditching the Zeppelin after only 31 years of service?! that design had so much potential. except for the fact that the monkeys made it with, 
1. an Internal Combustion Engine, 
2. being lifted by a flammable gas, light, but flammable.
3. being covered by a highly flammable coating,
But an explosion could be avoided by simple precautions, such as, 
1. enclosing the gas cells in something like rubber.
2. using helium instead of hydrogen, or hydrium, although humans have yet to discover that useful gas...
3. and not coating the whole thing in Duralumin.
there you go.  one not explosive zeppelin. read Airborn by Kenneth Oppel, now that is a great book. a great example of human ingenuity.  if only someone would give that guy a set of tools, the human world would be so much better.


Zachary? are you controlling my internet connection?
Dr. Smith?
Hey, stop that!

Bye.

Dr. Zachary Smith, Humanologist.  

wow, look at all the people!

Its amazing what how excited people get when a Zeppelin flies over…
they put on their fancy hats…

I spy with my little eye: a Fedora, a Boater, A Top Hat, A Bowler, a Peaked Cap, a Shako, and several even I can not even name! I also Spy with my little Eye:

Count Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin.

this guy:
Do you see him?
And on that note i bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

oh well.

Hi there folks, we Are reporting today from my personal Zeppelin. Why am I not reporting from my House In The French Countryside? well, it went like this, after battling scruffy pirates who were attempting to abscond with my domicile,
{ and turning them over to the french government i might add } I must have drawn attention to myself. And so they kind of evicted me, something about,

…tax evasion…

But that doesn't matter, The U.S.S. Sir Jacob has running water, fair recycling service, a wireless transmitter, and a typewriter, everything one could want really. But I just realized that since "U.S.S." generally stands for United States Ship, and since I no longer belong to any one nation, U.S.S. just will not do. That is why I am renaming my Zeppelin, The H.M.Z. Peregrination.

{His Majesty's Zeppelin, the Peregrination}

Good Day, and Best Regards.

I have Returned.

we are reporting today from my house in the french countryside. that is correct, i have returned. hooray. there were some scruffy pirates here who had captured my house and were holding the staff hostage, but i quickly turned the tables with a quick display of swordsmanship

I think I may have an artistic photographer following me around. these pictures just keep coming and I have no idea who takes them.
I found Mac, he was tied up in the kitchen, has been for the last couple of days.
any way, i handed over the hoodlums to the local authorities,

the three of them are wanted in over 12 different countries for house theft, piracy against the Crown, and Tax evasion. they are currently being fought over by France, Britain, America, Germany, Austria, Italy… Europe in general really.

I declined the reward, naturally.

And on that note i bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

The Continuing Weekly Adventures Of Dr. Zachary Smith H.M.O.

this weeks episode entitled,
All is Fair in Politics and Liberal Roofing Policies
hi.

Cup 'o' tea?

suit yourself.

I am doing the weekly adventures today because Jack is off to look for his house in France. oh, my name is Dr. Zachary Smith, you may know me as the star of our show. any way, i thought i would show you around legopolis today.

Legopolis is Full of amazing architecture such as this one example. Early James period, I believe. we have a moving picture Theatre, and marvelous cafes. but our real claim to fame is being the most energy-efficient city in the Tri-state area, we pioneered wind and solar power, and then we phased out cars quite awhile ago, so now we only use flying boats.

that's right, i said flying boats.

you see i am an inventor, the only one in town, and Capt. Brown, {the Mayor} is my close friend.

so i get a lot of contracts.

Legopolis is also known because its the seat of power for the Legopolis tri-state Area, there are two distinct powers in legopolis, Capt. Brown, and his Roof-Top police,

and the Lawyers.
you see, Legopolis used to be a dictatorship, with Capt. Brown in the seat of absolute power, and it went on like this for quite a number of years, with the title of Capt. Brown being passed down from generation to generation, until last year. when, in another part of the country, a rouge law student decided that he was going to reform the country into a republic. Democracy takes too long. he didn't meet with too much Resistance, since the Mayors attitude towards usurpers was "oh, O.K. he wants to try it for awhile? maybe i can finally get that trip to hawai'i" and so when the Lawyers came, he just let them go about their business. until he found out about their
Evil Plot
And their Evil plot is: making every person pay copious amount of money for simply existing.

That's
Right, their plan is: Taxes
and so our mayor, with his passive aggressive attitude, the lawyers and the Roof-top police have been staring at each other,

all-day, every day, for a year.

join us again next week when hopefully Jack will be back so that he can make up a new title.

Dr, Zachary Smith.

8:10 Am LegoPolian Time {L.P.T}: this comes through Dr. Smiths radio:
-- --- -. / -.. .. . ..- --..-- / -.-. . / -.. --- -.-. . .-.. .. -. -.. --- / .--. .-. . -. -.. / -... . .- ..- -.-. --- ..- .--. / -.. . / - . -- .--. ... --..-- / -- .- .. ... / .. .-.. / .- / .-.. .- / -.-. .... .- -. -.-. . / --.- ..- .----. .. .-.. ... / --- -. - / ..- -. . / -.-. --- -. -. . -..- .. --- -. / ... .- -. ... / ..-. .. .-.. / / -... --- .-. -.. --..-- / .. .-.. / . ... - / - .-. ... / -... . .- ..- / .. -.-. .. --..-- / -.. .- -. ... / .-.. . ... / -. ..- .- --. . ... --..-- / .- ...- . -.-. / ... . ..- .-.. . -- . -. - / .-.. . ... / --- .. ... . .- ..- -..- --..-- / .-.. . ... / - --- .. .-.. . ... / . - / -- --- -. / -- .- - .-. . / -.. .----. .... - . .-.. --..-- / --. .-. . --. --- .-. -.-- .-.-.- / --- .... --..-- / . - / .-.. . / -.-. ..- .. ... .. -. .. . .-. --..-- / . - / -.. . / .-.. .----. .. -. --. -. .. . ..- .-. / .-. .- -.. .. --- / . - / -.. . / .-.. .- / -- -.-. .- -. .. --.- ..- . --..-- / .-.. . / .--. . .-. ... --- -. -. . .-.. / . -. / --. -. .-. .- .-.. --..-- / ...- .-. .- .. -- . -. - .-.-.-
-... . ... - / .-. . --. .- .-. -.. ... --..-- / ... .. .-. .-.-.-
8:11 Am L.P.T: Dr. smith runs it through his revolutionary translation machine,

8:22 Am L.P.T: it comes out:
"mon dieu, ce docelindo prend beaucoup de temps, mais il a la chance qu'ils ont une connexion sans fil à bord, il est très beau ici, dans les nuages, avec seulement les oiseaux, les étoiles et mon maître d'hôtel, Gregory. oh, et le cuisinier, et de l'ingénieur radio et de la mécanique, le personnel en général, vraiment."
meilleures salutations, monsieur.

8:23 Am L.P.T: Dr. smith yells, "WHY IS IT IN FRENCH?!"

8:24 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith searches in vain for someone in legopolis who speaks french.

8:50 Am L.P.T: Dr. Zachary Smith realizes that no-one in legopolis speaks french.

8:51 Am lpt: Dr. Smith decides that maybe he should look for a mechanical problem in the morse code machine.

9:00 Am L.P.T. : Dr. Smith finds a problem in the machine, a short between the french translation section, and the Morse Code Section.

9:01 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith fixes the short and runs the dialouge through the repaired machine:

9:04 Am L.P.T : this comes out:
"my god, this zepplin time consuming, but it is fortunate that they have a wireless connection on board, it is beautiful here in the clouds, with only the birds, the stars and my butler , Gregory. oh, and the cook, and radio engineering and mechanical staff in general, really.
best regards, Sir."

9:05 Am L.P.T : Dr. Smith decides that "mechanical staff" is a typo. but can't see what Jack could possibly mean.

9:07 Pm L.P.T: while eating a Filling dinner Dr. smith realizes that he didn't post the transmission from Jack to the internet log.

9:08 Pm L.P.T: Dr. Smith plugs his handy transcript machine into the Computory device. but forgets to edit the days transcripts. he leaves this to his transcript machine.

9:09 Pm L.P.T: Dr. Smith returns to his dinner and just leaves his transcript machine connected to the Computory device.

9:30 Pm L.P.T: Dr. smith finishes his dinner and heads off to bed.
10:00 Pm L.P.T: a burglar breaks in but is apprehended by the security system.


1:40 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smiths transcript machine gets really bored and decides to start misquoting movies, like this.

140 Am L.P.T: Zach! Zach! wake up Zach! "hey that's Dr. Smith to you, lady." Dr. Smith, Dr. smith, WAKE UP DR. SMITH!

7:20 Am L.P.T: Dr. smith finally wakes up. thank the maker.

7:21 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith makes a cup of coffee. black, two shots.

7:22 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith does not notice his tired, ticked off transcript machine.

7:23 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith walks around the room trying to remember what it is he forgot to do yesterday.

7:24 Am L.P.T: his poor defenseless, sleep deprived, annoyed, and mad transcript machine thinks "i hope it eats away at him all day."

7:24 Am L.P.T: hey, he is walking over this way! hey Dr. Smith!

DR. SMITH!!! OVER HERE!!!

7:24 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith finally disconnects me from his computory device, and publishes this post.

7:25 Am L.P.T: Dr. Smith goes to make breakfast, and gives me a recharge.
thank you dr. smith.

hi.

My name is Dr. Zachary Smith. And i am here to fill in for Jack while he goes to France to search for his missing house,
I guess Humans don't have very good memories. I could never lose an entire house. the kitchen maybe but never the entire house.

any way Jack sent me this telegram from the ship he is taking to France.
.... . -.-- / - .... . .-. . / --.. .- -.-. .... .- .-. -.-- / ... - --- .--. / .. / .- -- / .... .- .-.. ..-. .-- .- -.-- / - --- / ..-. .-. .- -. -.-. . / ... - --- .--. / .. / .- -- / ... . -. -.. .. -. --. / -.-- --- ..- / - .... .. ... / - . .-.. . --. .-. .- -- / ... - --- .--. / ..-. .-. --- -- / - .... . / .- .. .-. ... .... .. .--. / .... .- -. --. .- .-. / .-- .... . .-. . / -- -.-- / .--. .-. .. ...- .- - . / --.. . .--. .--. . .-.. .. -. / .. ... / .-- .- .. - .. -. --. / ... - --- .--. / .. / ... .... --- ..- .-.. -.. / -... . / .. -. / ..-. .-. .- -. -.-. . / -... -.-- / - --- -- --- .-. .-. --- .-- / ... - --- .--. / -... . ... - / .-. . --. .- .-. -.. ... / ... - --- .--. / ... .. .-. / ... - --- .--.
which translates as:

HEY THERE ZACHARY STOP I AM HALFWAY TO FRANCE STOP I AM SENDING YOU THIS TELEGRAM STOP FROM THE AIRSHIP HANGAR WHERE MY PRIVATE ZEPPELIN IS WAITING STOP I SHOULD BE IN FRANCE BY TOMORROW STOP
BEST REGARDS STOP
SIR STOP

Well its good to know he is doing fine,
Dr. Zachary Smith, Humanologist P.H.D. Signing off.

hey, why is my website so empty?

Alright, my webpage, Save the croissants.com is looking a little bleak, and so i am asking all of my friends, loyal readers, {or reader, I know there is at least one} and people who just now found my blog to read through the site i just linked to, and comment at the bottom of this post with suggestions about what is missing.

I feel like something is missing.

it is so frustrating when i cant put my finger on it.

please comment, i am trying my hardest to contact you, the reader. that's right,

i'm talking to you.

can you hear me?
…buy more cheese…
…oh, and pick up some more milk on the way home…

O.K. back to the topic of a couple of hands ago,

Step 1. read through Save the Croissants.com

Step 2. Come back and comment here about what it needs, think of it like me, asking you what a {insert your favorite dish} needs.

Step 3. go pick up some more milk, {or soy milk} on the way home. you are running low.

And on that note i bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.
