The Challenge:
- Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else
on your friends list has done.
- See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to
add another! (2.b., 2.c., etc...)
- Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique
things they've done in their life.

So, I just got word that I GOT THE JOB AT VALENTINE ROBOTICS! ::dances around in frenzied elation::

OK, I'm done being excited. For now. I think. ::one last little dance::

OK, so, I recently started reading a most interesting and varied webcomic, El Goonish Shive, and I like it a lot thus far (yes, I've read the entirety of the archive...). ( Read more... )

So, I got off the phone this morning with Delphi, feeling amazing. The guy I was talking to left me with the impression that he'd be looking diligently for a project for me, because he really wants me to work for Delphi.

Happiness=128/255I got word that our Object-Oriented Design project is pretty much completed, which has been ( Read more... )

Time is an interesting thing. There's less than a week left of school (excluding finals, but they don't count as school anyway), and most of the big projects are done, and the little homework seems to be disappearing quickly as there's a shortage of time to grade it in. Thus, on one hand, time is flying by. On the other, the next version of Ubuntu ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm saying it. It broke 70F today! And, forecasted for the rest of the week is sunny and warm as well. And, I'm still under budget on my project, but the most expensive component is yet to be found, so I'm still keeping it under wraps. And, perhaps most importantly, I received a message from Brittany! It looks promising...but I respect the ( Read more... )

So, I'm daring to say it...it might finally be spring in Houghton. It's currently hovering around 60-70F, bright sun, and a nice, stiff breeze. Biked over to Jim's to pick up some sunflower seeds and plastic bags, as well as to drop off the winter's stash of cans and bottles, which came out to enough to pay for the other two items ( Read more... )

So, I've been bashing my head against a wall for the last couple of days trying to get this simulation working. For my Engineering Fundamentals course, I'm part of a team that has to design and simulate an entry to the SAE Supermileage Competition. We don't actually have to build it, and development/build costs are above the scope of the project. ( Read more... )

Yes, yes I have them. And, yes, I'm still up. Or, maybe, I'm awake now. I have no idea. However, regarding Brittany:

Well I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

So, I located Brittany. She is not, as I had originally thought, a student of MTU. Rather, she was here visiting friends from her high school over, apparently, her spring break. This is starting to feel awkward talking about, but... she attends the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. Yes, apparently I now have the potential to have a " ( Read more... )
