If and Then...

Redstone is the word of the day as I finally have started to understand the logic behind its crazy cool capabilities!  Yes, I know, some of you out there might be saying "Minecraft is a fucking waste of time, why would you even play it?"  And my answer to that is this: because it is addictive and has so much to do.  It allows me to let my creativity run amok (which might not be the safest thing) and has you use survival skills.  I never understood redstone and the logic behind it, even when looking in the Minecraft wiki, but, thanks to a couple video tutorials, I'm actually beginning to understand!  (Credit for the tutorials to LuclinMCWB*)

As a lot of you already probably know, redstone is an ore found deep in the world of Minecraft.  When broken, it leaves a few piles of redstone dust, which can be used for crafting and for technological uses.  Logic gates, T Flip-Flips, and other such circuitry is used for redstone circuits.  After that, it's simple wiring with redstone dust.  You can use redstone to activate items such as: powered rails, iron doors, pistons, and so on.  Of course, you need a switch to send the signal from the input to the output, which is done by a lever, button, or pressure plate.

On another topic, as you may have noticed by now, I have started double spacing my paragraphs instead of single spacing.  Why?  Because I found the single spacing too difficult to interpret.  This gives more space between paragraphs to let the reader know of the transition easier.

But anyway, I'm going to do something else, so I'll catch you later!

Oh, and about the sunburn?  Been completely healed for over a week now.
