After visiting RPI again I made my final decision, I'm going to RPI next year. I couldn't decide between RIT and RPI for a while but I didn't want to drive 5 hours each way to RIT and RPI is a slightly better school academically. I also know several people from Kingston and from other places who are going to RPI. They also require every student to ( Read more... )

I got a message on my long forgotten facebook account the other day from someone who is apparently a distant cousin of mine from Ohio. I knew I had relatives in that area, but I never met any of them. The internet has a way of making the world really really tiny.

After a long battle I managed to subdue all the spyware, adware, and general malware on Matt's laptop. An especially vicious opponent was Spy Dawn which managed to survive 4 different automated removal tools and several attempts at manual removal before finally succumbing to an extremely obscure command line tool ran in safe mode (the thing even ( Read more... )

Watched another batch of movies yesterday: The Boondock Saints, Requiem For A Dream, and Ghost Rider. The Boondock Saints and Requiem For A Dream were great. Ghost Rider was decent, better than I expected based on what I've heard. It was the kind of movie where the special effects really carry it and would be pretty bad without them.

The ski trip friday was fun, not the best conditions, but still fun. Dietz was still under a few inches of snow for rugby this week. It gave good traction at the start of practice, but towards the end it started to get really slippery as the snow melted. I convinced Chris McGahn(I'm certain I spelled that wrong) to come and he played really well ( Read more... )

There shouldn't be a specific day for doing that kind of thing, surprises are better anyway. Not to mention all the websites feel the need to put up a ( Read more... )

Snowboarding/Skiing yesterday. Rugby/Essay today. Essay tomorrow. College Writing is going to kill me.

Started playing Morrowind which is pretty good considering its an RPG which I'm usualy not to fond of. Went snowboarding at belleayre yesterday. Was alot less crowded than I expected it to be. Conditions were pretty good and it wasn't too cold so it was a fairly good day. Monday will not be fun though. I start Sci Fi B (really easy), Astronomy ( ( Read more... )

First rugby practice of 07 was today. Not to many people showed up so we just played sevens the whole time. I got the only 2 tries for my team during the full contact. I think speed school is really helping with my speed and strength. There were two little kids there that were playing better than most of our players, that really surprised me. I ( Read more... )
