It has been SO long since I posted that my browser even removed the update page from the URL history. I guess there wasn't that much to post about while I was making the decision, but now it is made. The practical side has won over the idealistic and I'll be spending the next few years in the north west. With that decision behind me, I'm now trying to think of what to do over the summer and how should I move all the way there. So far it seems that at least one of my friends is interested in going to eastern europe over the summer, which seems like a fun way of ending college. If anyone has any other fun ideas for the summer, I'm interested to hear.
The second thing I need to start planning is my move across the country. I've elected not to accept the services of the company to move me out there, but instead pocket the cash and worry about the moving on my own. (I don't own two cars or 20,000 pounds of things) To me it seems there are two ways to do this. Either I can ship all of my things to my brother and fly out there myself, or I can ship some of the things to my brother and then drive across the US. I would personally be interested in the second option, but I'm not crazy enough to drive across the country on my own. Thus I'm looking for another dare-devil soul who'd want to spend about 10 days crossing the country. (VA->Detroit->Vhicago->St.Louis->Kansas city->Denver->....etc.)
In other news, I've become a huge slacker this semester and taking only 12 credits of real work, with 3 more credits of research. This allows me to spend lots of free time watching random TV series (Firefly and Farscape are REALLY REALLY REALLY good, especially Firefly), getting others hooked on them, and visiting different social activities. I'm also going to be taking the Bartending class and currently am in a skiing class. (Thanks to smashingpopcorn for a hat)
Now that I'm done with the classical blogging of random crap nobody cares about, here are some links that I've collected over the time period:

Now that I'm done with the classical blogging of random crap nobody cares about, here are some links that I've collected over the time period:
- Since valentine is around the corner, here are some gifts that you should have gotten to your geeky SO. Such quality examples as binary watches, friends, and cat5 bracelets.
- You could always send your valentine one of these cards, though I doubt they'd be as amused.
- If you happen to be heading to Japan in the near future, you'll have to make sure to learn to properly read the metro signs - or evict all sexual thoughts from your mind.
- Something tells me that this doctor won't have any problems with finding volunteers for his experimental Orgasmatron. Does the thing come with a remote control for two?
- Update:The american schools have redifined the concept of numbers to follow with the idea of trinity.
- This must the tech support's worst nightmare. How do you even get there?
- It seems that the moral authorities are starting to police the bumper stickers. Though I gotta say that this sticker is hard not to take in an offensive way.
- The stormtroopers are about to start patrolling our streets. At least they are nicely colored.
- I could have sworn that I've posted this one before, but it was still in my "To Post". So here's the analysis of Sleep Retardant properties of a girlfriend.
- It seems that the state of VA is finally starting to get out of the bedroom. A court rulling has deemed that the state can't prosecute based on consentual actions inside a bedroom.
- In political news, the politicians does another 180 on his election promises. Bush put out the list of programs to be cut due to budget problems. Somehow I don't see Iraqi war under there, I guess the elections there didn't bring about freedom. (I do see a lot of education programs)
Geek toys - If you need to detect presense of a wireless network to see if you can get some free internet you can go with two stylish choices. The first choices is probably a better looking flower that glows different colors depending on presence of network. However, if you are not a flower-person, youc an always just wear a ring with same functionality.
- For the lazy couch potatoes, there's now a remote control that doesn't even require a battery. Thus you don't have to get up to find a replacement if they die.
- And if you want to scare your SO into an immediate divorce, just install one of these mirrors in your house to show them how scary you'll look from sitting on that couch the whole day. It can predict your future look based upon your habbits.
I think That's about it. Sorry for anyone whom I've forgotten to credit for links, but I've collected them without remembering the source.
