Bananaphone! Also, I love it when I suggest something (ostensibly stupid?) like making the mp3 into a ringtone, and someone manages to do it in a few minutes during lunch, including editing the sound file and sending it to the phone ( Read more... )

Every Horse has an Infinite Number of Legs (proof by oddity):Horses have an even number of legs. Behind they have two legs, and in front they have fore-legs. This makes six legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse. But the only number that is both even and odd is infinity. Therefore, horses have an infinite number of legs.

I love some weekends too much. On Friday I went costume shopping and hit the same used book store again. Erica and I went to a little haunted house put together by a dorm on campus, where one of the zombies scared the hell out of me by greeting me by name. I recovered from that by sipping a chai latte and watching Children of Eden, which is ( Read more... )

It's not exactly my hometown, but it's ( Read more... )

"Influence" as in how stuff at CMU twists around things in my mind. Homework feels more educational when you can do calculations and program stuff without worrying about silly things like Theory of Knowledge and European History.* Although. . . I did wander around the campus bookstore, browsing the textbooks basement, and write down the course ( Read more... )

I figured I'd spend today recovering and reading, but I'm glued to the computer checking up on Red Team and Red Team Too in the DARPA Grand Challenge.

If you are at the computer reading this, you should be checking the page obsessively, too.

eta Stanford pulled ahead in the last hour.

In an attempt to finish writing our homework for programming, miccie and I went to the help center to figure out why the GUI our professor included didn't seem to be working. We called T-Shirt Guy over to help us figure it out. After half an hour of torturous work with the Eclipse debugger and the course-specific classes that supposedly work, T-Shirt ( Read more... )
