It's been awhile since I've blogged, and for only mediocre reasons. Yesterday marked the start of my fourth week of college at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, and as expected by everybody but me, there is a ton of reading and work. Sadly because of this The Dusty Wahl has been put on the backburner. However from now on you all can look forward to and increase in posts these upcoming months.
Here at The Dusty Wahl we have big hopes for great content ranging from cooking, to movies, to tech reviews.
This is a great time for all of you to start reading and new readers to join the loyal community! Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your coworkers.
THE DUSTY WAHL IS BACK
Wise Words from The Dusty Wahl...
Check back in later this week for a great new piece that's currently in the works.

Harvard Has Done It Again
Yep, Harvard once again has molded students who are going to grow up to be millionaires in the next 5 years.
John McCallum and Brooke Nowakowski have made cake that is in an aerosol can which you spray into a pan and throw into the microwave, and you have cake. It may just be the most ingenious idea since whipped cream in a can.
They haven't come up with a name for it yet, or have even branded it yet, however they have just won 10,000 dollars from Harvard as the best entry into their Innovation Challenge. Now they are on the hunt for
a loyal distributor who will also keep the recipe to being "organic and kosher".
They greatest part about this million dollar idea was that this kid thought of the idea so he could pass his foods class final. Little did he know he is going to be a yacht owner soon. Along with 80 percent of all other Harvard Grads.

If you decide to make cake in a can, don't worry if it's organic, people will buy it.
Its cake
IN A CAN!!!

Where's Wrongway Feldman When You Need Him?
A case of the Ebola virus has broken out in Nigeria, after a Liberian man died in Lagos. This is one of the other 660 victims to it since March within four west African countries.
Some of you may know the Ebola virus from the hit show Gilligan's Island, when Wrongway Feldman appears on the show.
The clan of stranded islanders try to get Feldman to go back to Honolulu and get help when Gilligan fakes having Ebola. Which in the show they call Bola Bola Fever. However, instead of alerting officials that there are people stranded on an island, he steals the Bola Bola cure and they stay stranded. So where is Wrongway now?
Well the he's somewhere other than Lagos, so the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, has said, "All ports of entry into Nigeria including airports, seaports, and land borders are placed on red alert, Ministry of Health specialists have been positioned in all entry points. Active surveillance has also been stepped up." since this is a serious issue. They have also started to make a list of all the people the victim might have been in contact with before he was taken by the virus.
Symptoms of Ebola include, fevers, headaches, and joint pains, which then worsen to bleeding from the eyes, ears, and nose. But there's something even scarier than that. The Ebola virus takes over 90 percent of all the lives it touches, which right now it is in one of the most populated nations of Africa holding over 170 million people.
The World Health Organization is also getting involved, however it has been too early for them to be of any help so far.
The Dusty Wahl's Words of Wisdom...
Stay away from Ebola.
Unless of course your friends with this guy.

An Almost Win for Humanity
It was announced today that the CEO of Walmart in America, Bill Simon, will be leaving his position.
This could be awesome news for America. The mega store, mega billion dollar company who is known for eating local businesses and leaving their customers disgruntled (to put it nicely) could have been on a road to reform. Changing their ways could make them millions of more dollars from the people who want to spend less on daily items, yet still have a moral compass too strong to be cohersed to shop there now.
However, the CEO of Walmart in Asia, Greg Foran, will be taking his place. This means that the company had a huge chance to change it's ways. Instead they decided to take one of the few people who have been doing the exact same thing, but just in a different hemisphere.
So Walmart, I'm sorry, you chose poorly.
The Dusty Wahl's Words of Wisdom...
If you hate Walmart, still don't shop there. Nothing will change in the near future.

Chromebooks: Perfect for the Everyday Person
What do you use a computer for on a daily basis? Emails, searching, writing documents, working on spreadsheets, or blogging? How about gaming, running software, or hacking the pentagon? If you like to do any of the latter of the two, then maybe chromebooks aren't the right fit for you. But for the everyday average Joe who doesn't care about any of that kind of stuff, or even knows how to care about it, the Chromebook is maybe just the best invention ever. It certainly is for me.
A Dusty Wahl Fun Fact...
I am currently on my second chromebook since around June of 2013. And now I know what your thinking. Why would I buy a computer if it's only going to last me 6 months? Well I would still be on my first one however, that bad boy somehow fell down the stairs. So like any other computer, it was dead. But this is the single and greatest thing about Chromebooks. They only cost between 200 and 300 dollars! So if in the rare case you loose control of your self momentarily and happen to drop the sucker down a flight of stairs, no problem! You can leave at 8 o'clock the next morning and pick up another one at your local Best Buy or Office Max. Which is the exact thing that I did. And what's even better is that all of your information you had on the Chromebook that died, is all on the cloud connected to your Gmail account (which if Gmail isn't your primary personal email device you need to take a moment and think about your decisions). So the next morning when you open up your chromebook, all you do is type in your email address, your password, and all you have is the same, but conveniently cleaner Chromebook.
It can also do almost anything you need it to. You have Google Drive at your disposal for any documents, spreadsheets, or presentations you have to make/give. You have chrome as a browser which is the best browser out there anyways. You also get a very nice keyboard, slim yet stylish design, and a great mouspad to top it all off. Yes, it might not be as good as your Macbook Pro, but your also not paying 2000 dollars for it. It is lightweight, and the essential college notetaking machine. This way, you don't have to tow around your very expensive computer, and you can do anything super serious on that when you get back to your dorm, and all of the notes are on drive waiting for you. It's also perfect for lets say, an everyday blogger.
The downsides of chromebooks. You can't download any software that you might need. You also can't play any intense games like Skyrim on it. You also can't be streaming 3 or more tv shows/movies at the same time. But lets be honest. When was the last time you were doing that?
All in all, it is probably one of the best discoveries and financial investments I've made in a long time.

- All except for 3 posts on The Dusty Wahl have been done using a Chromebook. Specifically the Samsung first edition chromebook. Also known as one of the most sold laptops of 2013.

Planet of the Apes
I just went and saw the new Planet of the Apes the other day and The Dusty Wahl is now an official supporter of the Cesar 2016 Presidential Campaign.
What was great about the movie is that it's not just about humans fighting apes. It's about the question of equality between humans and apes. It almost reminds me of the premise of Avatar/Dances with Wolves and the question of whether these beings are animals or actually civilized.
Overall it is an amazing movie, great CGI, writing, acting, and Gary Oldman is awesome. Not to mention watching apes ride horses into battle, and apes fighting apes is insane! The only dissapointing thing about this new movie is that you didn't see any human fall in love with an ape. However, this also gives us an opportunity for more predictions!
The Dusty Wahl Predictions...
In this next movie you will finally see apes with armor on like in the original series. And there will most likely be a romance plot line between an ape and a human.

Go see this movie and come help me put signs up for Cesars election.
