Navy Vs Army ranking system
What did I search today?

If you are fan of war movies or TV series as much as I am, then you might have notice there is something different about officers ranking in navy comparing to regular army. The problem shows of worst when we talk about Sci-Fi movies with starships and battlestars and so on because although they are flying, still considered as ship not plane and the ranking system follows the Navy.

To keep it short I should mention my problem started with not being able to place commander of ship in regular army ranking, also where a Capitan of a ship stands compare to regular Captain.

For those who want the simple answer, here’s the simple conclusion as the answer to my questions:

Lieutenant in Navy = Capitan in Army
Lieutenant Commander in Navy = Major in Army
Commander in Navy = Lieutenant Colonel in Army
Captain in Navy = Colonel in Army

Wall-E and LEGO

After long time of not writing a single word in this blog I have finally come up with a topic to fill my void of subjects, because what actually holds me back so far was meaninglessness of just writing for sake of writing, I simply couldn’t take it.

From today there would be two changes, first I would write in English and second I will write about things or subjects that I searched in the internet, in fact I will tell what I was thinking about and what was interesting for me to know about and how deep I went on to find about them.

Today Search topic: Wall-E leading to search for LEGO

I was looking for to buy small Wall-E toy for my desk since I like it very much. I find a variety of different size and configurations but finally it was too expensive with shipping from US so I gave up for now, but the best and cheapest collection was in Disney online store: http://disneyshopping.go.com/disney/store/CategoryPage_10002_10051_14039_-1_14039_14039_12________________Toys


Then as I was searching for wall-E pictures I found one made of LEGO so I went to LEGO site to see if there is any kit for wall-E was available which wasn’t.

And I use to be crazy about LEGO since played and built with my sets of simple LEGO back at home as early as being 3-4 years old. I realized I can design wall-E and then other necessary breaks in Individual Bricks & Building Accessories (http://shop.lego.com/pab/?warning=false ). Then I found interesting software in LEGO website which let you to assemble any design on your PC and then order the pieces to make them for real, the software is called Lego digital designer (http://ldd.lego.com/default.aspx ) you can download and installed it easily.



Although I found many limits in terms of different breaks and pieces in this software comparing to LEGO pick, but the interactive 3D software is nice to work with.
