Rocket Bob

Rocket Bob (game)

I haven’t posted a game for a while, so here is Rocket Bob... it's kinda like pocket tanks.

in other news: practice went fine, but i think trav was getting a little tired towards the end. eh. i had fun. Oh yeah, the test went fine as well. Some people stayed the whole time, but it wasn't too bad... now we'll see how they do. mwahahaha! >:)

Myspace.com

D&E (site)

You can listen to "Hey Luv" from here.... if you should choose. :)

The Dog & Everything

The Dog & Everything -- Still Promoting Global Warming (site)

^_^ "Still Promoting Global Warming" ...
anyways, for my last post of the break, I would like to say to check out The Dog & Everything. I saw them last weekend, and they were very good. Worth a look and listen, if you can get a hold of the song "Hey Luv" listen to that one, it is my fav. of theirs.

Iraq

E tenebras, lux dormiens (blargticle)

I read Alan's blog somewhat frequently. And, since he is a liberal, i disagree with him most of the time. But it is good to see that he has the same view-points on this aspect of the Iraqi elections.

...now let's just work on some of the other issues... ^_^

Lifehacker

Lifehacker (blog)

This is a very good blog about computery things... and is apparently made by my producers... ^_^

Streamline your Windows startup

Lifehacker (blargticle)

Ok, what the crap!?!

I was restaring my comupter, and i was thinking, man this is taking forever. after it finally got booted up, I opened up lifehack, and the first article i saw was this.

My producers aren't even making me wait for things anymore...
Not to complain, but i *have* had the request for $22million in for awhile now.... ^_^

dropload

In case anybody needs to transfer large file from one computer to another, drop file looks like the way to go.

Shrinking glaciers evidence of global warming

Differences seen by looking at photos from 100 years ago (article)

This is an article from a SF paper. In it they claim that these pics are proof that there is global warming. So if collecting data and analyzing data can't prove something, just show some pics... sounds great...

my favorite line from the article is: '"You don't need science to prove the point," said Matt Nolan of the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. "This evidence is visual, and it's real."'

Think about a trip home from a magic show... "Did you see that lady turn into a tiger!!! man that was great, but i bet her parents are mad. whaddya mean its magic? I saw it, she turned into a tiger, I saw it, what i see must be what happens..."

That may sound absurd, but in science they do that kind of conclusions all the time. That’s why we need statistics, to tell us what is going on with our data.... sigh... when i get into the real world, there is gonna be so much stuff for me to fix. ^_^

(side note: I think most scientists are now agreeing that there is global warming, but most blame it on natural causes. I too am in that camp, although I have not seen any data to sway me into thinking that there even is global warming...)

Side Bared

How do you know when you've over slept? I woke up this morning and I go: "hummm, i must have slept past the alarm, but it's not time to goto school yet... should i just go back to sleep?" What was weird was that i hadn't looked at the clock yet. I don't know that i had over slept, and i didn't know that i was still ok on time... when i looked it was 9.40, just enough time to get up and off to school early to print off the notes for the class. good me.
So how did i know what time it was?

In other more bloggy news, I have added michelle's blog, and changed the addy to newgen's new blogger blog, over on the side bar.

ABJ

The Granada (pics)

Amber has posted her pics of the show in Lawrence, it includes all the bands that played. There are some pretty good ones. Check it out. Check it out. Check it out.

I am a Japanese School Teacher

Outpost Nine (blogish, stole the link from matt)

Here is a guy's experiences of teaching through the JET program. It's very funny, and it's good to see the most proper race in the world is producing some very strange kids. ^_^

Lawrence Protesters

Math Dojo (from Nicole's blog, pic)

These guys were protesting the war (timed because of Iraq's elections?) yesterday in lawrence, i was driving, so nicole snapped a pretty good pic of them.

The rest of yesterday.

After the ABJ show we went to Steak and Shake to eat some food before we drove on home. There was a little snow and some fog on the drive home, but we all made it home safely around 5.30. It didn't take too long to fall asleep.

Today has been spent watching Arena Football and news reports about the Iraq Elections. fun times :)

After a very long set by the first three bands (Primetime Heros, Upside, and the Dog and Everything), Anything But Joey played a very good show. Here they are rockin on out. (BTW, the show was very good, and it was too bad that Nicole missed it. The Granada is a very good music venue, and is much better than PJ's)

While walking around Mass. we stoped by Roly Poly. We had already ate, knowing that Roly Poly would be closed at the insane hour of 2pm on Saturday... suprise. Posted by Hello
