#84Bing Search of the Day: 7 Wonders

Bing Search of the Day: 7 Wonders of the World


I'm a huge fan of Assassin's Creed: Origins which takes place in Ancient Egypt. If you're not familiar with the the game, it's quite realistic and many of the Ubisoft AC titles have been compared to interactive history lessons, give or take some fantasy, of course. 

Thanks in part to that and the Pyramid Code documentary currently airing on Netflix, I've recently taken fascination with the pyramids of Egypt.

One of my favorite subjects in grade school was World History, Ancient Egypt in particular.

That led me to "wonder", what else is there to see?

It turns out, besides the Great Pyramid of Giza, none of the original Wonders even exist anymore! (The Ancient Greeks made the original list.)

Follow this link to read more about the 7 MODERN Wonders of the World.

In the meantime, here's what I found on the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World on Bing.

What are the seven wonders of the world?

The original seven wonders of the world are seven sites known to the Ancient Greeks as the most notable locales in their known world. They are:

Colossus of Rhodes

Great Pyramid of Giza
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia

#Netflix: I Am Not Your Guru - Tony Robbins

I AM NOT YOUR GURU




Here's the link to watch on Netflix.




"It doesn't take any courage to put everything down or to say 'it's all gonna fall apart' or 'I can never achieve anything' because you're never gonna be disappointed. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. It's a great way to protect yourself from being a failure.

But, the wall that protects your from disappointment also separates you from your dream."

- Tony Robbins



Here's a link to this lecture on Google Play Music.

Streaming TV and Movies with #Netflix - #Apps

*Not an official endorsement*



Streaming Movies with Netflix

      Netflix has been my go to movie streaming app for about 5 years now. Like any other app, it has it's drawbacks. Some of the most popular shows and movies aren't always available. Waiting until the end of a new season to catch up on newer shows is kind of a drag
For these and other knocks, Netflix still has a lot going for it.

     For one. The price isn't all that bad, especially when you can add multiple user accounts (your welcome, family). While it doesn't have absolutely everything, it has a great collection that can "freshen up" from season to season. Perhaps the best part, I have never had streaming issues. On wifi it's nearly flawless, on 4g LTE it's very acceptable (although, without unlimited data, you should stick to wifi only!) and even a few rare 3G only occasions a short tv show wasn't unbearable (longer features not so much).

     I'm not head over heels for most of the independent movies you can find there but, more than once I have been very happy with Netflix Originals. More and more creators are flocking to streaming-only television. I plan on going into detail about my favorites in future blog posts. These range from comedy to drama to documentary. Netflix truly has something for everyone.

     All in all, the reason I wrote this blog, Netflix is worth every penny if you can ever decide what to watch! Once you do pick something, though, you're bound to be starting a binge. You might even be discovering a new favorite movie or even rediscovering an oldie that you didn't realize you'd love.

In the future, I want to highlight, review and recommend movies and television worth watching, including Netflix originals so, grab some popcorn amd follow along.


Cheers,
Josh
