Talley leaves legacy of leadership

Garden City Telegram (article)

Garden City lost a longtime advocate and pioneer Wednesday with the death of Bonnie Talley, 77, the city's first female commissioner and mayor.
"To me she was the epitome of a person who was entirely selfless with her service to the community," City Manager Bob Halloran said of Talley, who died at Park West Plaza in Wichita. "As a cheerleader for this community, she was unparalleled."
"Although she was not a Garden City native, she was Miss Garden City," Mesa said. "She was a trailblazer and champion for the strong stances she took as mayor."
"It was a real pleasure to work with and for her," Halloran said. "She not only governed with her brain but with her heart."

I knew Bonnie Talley mainly from church. She was one of the nicest people you ever met and she really did love Garden City. While she was in office she helped develop the City aggressively which is one of the reasons why Garden is now the dominate town in SW Kansas.
It is sad to see her go but I am glad that she was able to live such a fulfilling life.

Bigger is not always better.

I'll start off with the most important thing of my day first... although since it is 10.30am, I guess anything that I do this early must be important, since during winter break I usually woke up around this time...
Anyways, I just watched a small spider take on a spider about three times as large in a fight to the death. I thought the small spider had no chance, but in the end the big spider was lunch... or maybe brunch since it is still morning.
In other news Loughin's Bootstrapping class looks like it will be hard, but worth the effort.

My plans for the rest of the day are:
1. Blow an hour.
2. Sit through Data Mining. (There is a 90% chance that I am gonna drop the class.)
3. Eat some lunch.
4. Write up the last major changes to Mad.
5. Chill the most

Guess who was just playing Zelda on the internet?

Go on, guess.

Give up?

It was me!

I also played Super Mario Brothers 1,2, and 3, and many more games.

The emulator is kinda choppy at times, but I really can't complain, I'm playing Nintendo games online.
This is just what I needed to ensure no work gets done as we start the new school year! >:)

Rock on.

NFL star player? Doubt it.
Drafted on the first day of the draft? Doubt it.
Drafted at all? Maybe.

Felice Varini makes art that is viewable from only one spot. When you stand in that spot it looks as if the image is floating in space:




When you are not in that spot it looks like the painters got drunk when they were doing the room:

K-State Hockey T

For this first time in awhile the K-State Hockey team does not have any t-shirts to sell. Half of the problem is not having a design for the new t-shirts; the other half is not having money to print them up.

I decided to work on the first problem for a bit tonight. This is the best that I came up with, not great, but also not too bad:



Oh, I better get off to bed now, I have to wake up early in the morning.

In Your Facebook.com

New York Times (article)

AS far as Kyle Stoneman is concerned, the campus police were the ones who started the Facebook wars. "We were just being, well, college students, and they used it against us," says Mr. Stoneman, a senior at George Washington University in Washington. He is convinced that the campus security force got wind of a party he and some buddies were planning last year by monitoring Facebook.com, the phenomenally popular college networking site. The officers waited till the shindig was in full swing, Mr. Stoneman grouses, then shut it down on discovering under-age drinking.
Mr. Stoneman and his friends decided to fight back. Their weapon of choice? Facebook, of course.
Once again they used the site, which is visited by more than 80 percent of the student body, to chat up a beer blast. But this time, when the campus police showed up, they found 40 students and a table of cake and cookies, all decorated with the word "beer." "We even set up a cake-pong table," a twist on the beer-pong drinking game, he says. "The look on the faces of the cops was priceless." As the coup de grâce, he posted photographs of the party on Facebook, including a portrait of one nonplussed officer.

^_^!

Yard Invaders

Fetchfido's Free Online Games - Yard Invaders (game)

Yard Invaders is a re-make of Space Invaders. But this time you are a French kid that has a duck and you throw apples at the invaders. Even though I generally don't like remakes, (usually because they just re-make the exact same game, only they make it worse) this one is actually really good.
The best improvement is the apples, because you only have a limited amount of shots before you have to run around and collect more ammo, also it takes more than one hit to kill a spaceship, which normally bugs me but in this game it is fun... prob. because they spin out of control for a second when you hit them with an apple.
I just can't figure one thing out about the game; What's the duck for?

KC and Newgen

Andrea (Newgen's fiancee) had been planning for a surprise birthday party for Newgen for a couple of weeks and today was the day. So how did it go? Well he at least didn't run away when he got there. We even got him is blow out candles.



Other than the mandatory copyright infringement, that go with birthday singing, Andrea also had planned out a murder mystery to do. It was pretty fun, and luckily the acting was pretty low key. That way I didn't have to worry about my self-imposed Irish accent (not really, I wouldn't do that, although Chris was taking about using a Russian accent.)

But no, I wasn't the killer... although i did have an affair with the victim's fiancee... which works out fine for me since she was played by Nicole. ^_^
