If you want Game 5 St. Louis, you'll have to pry it from our cold dead fingers!

Sometimes all it takes is a little rain to make an optimistic guy even moreso. The rain comes, the air is electric and the world is cleansed, it's the beginning of a new cycle. I imagine I'd have a differernt reaction if I wasn't currently in the desert...

This semester feels like a bronco ride, it should be fun, but I'm going to have to try hard not to feel a bit of pain, and I am definitely in minimal control of the situation. Besides my thesis, my capstone project is also making me feel this way, but like I said, it should be fun; I'm going to be working with a racecar doing almost exactly wahat I ( Read more... )

My iBook is now an Oreo, while fixing it from some of the effects of aging I painted the top and bottom black! It is über cool. I know find myself wanting to paint a lot of things, but I have yet to embark on such a venture ( Read more... )

Finally, after 4 years of dreading to go through the college admissions ordeal, I'm back at it. I took the GRE this morning (bright and early of course). I definitely belong in the Science/Engineering category, I did much better on the math parts: 780/800 Quantitative, 610/800 Verbal.

Well, following that logic, I went in to the doctor's last week. I was experiencing some palpitations and so they had me run through the gamut of heart- ( Read more... )

Hey, so, not too much has happened recently, it being summer and all. Mostly nothing happened because I read both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card far too quickly to do much else. Cassi had recommended them to me almost a year ago, and I'm glad I finally got around to them. Books are dangerous things for me, I don't do much else ( Read more... )

Well, I did it finally, I finished and submitted my own software development project to the world (for free of course). This is the third go-around, so let's just say I'm a far sight better at this sort of thing by now. Anyways, I need sleep. If you're interested, check it (and my 'company') out: http://

So, after thinking it was too late, I landed an internship! I was offered (and duly plan to accept) an offer to work for a NASA partner doing Mars imaging and research (http://themis.asu.edu/). I had been waiting to update my LJ until I knew what was going on this summer, what a relief! Anyways ( Read more... )
