Pixies, the elusive sprites of myth, are, in fact, alive and well in modern day society. Although leading scientists would dearly like to hide it, electricity, that enigmatic force on which our world relies, is actually produced by the lightning fast* movements of these flying midgets. With their blazing speed pixies are very rarely sighted and ( Read more... )

The art of bagpipery seems to be a lost art in these days. Those few remaining masters are shunned for their work, instead of lauded as they once would have been. Many reasons could be given for their fall from grace. Perhaps the people of this world finally realized that their shrill tones have probably caused as many funerals as they have been ( Read more... )

When I originally started this thing, I just placed random amusing crap on here. For some reason I have degenerated into posting actual information. So here, for your reading pleasure, is the last essay I was required to do for Hedrick's AP Euro class. The topic was something about changing opinions on communism in Eastern Europe over the 20th ( Read more... )

Princeton Class of 2010.

My perfect streak continues! Princeton University, who deferred my early admission attempt, has now accepted me! I'm 4 of 4 so far! One more acceptance and I will have been accepted everywhere I applied. But ... I also have to pick one of them ... and I have NO clue which I want ( Read more... )

Even if I don't make it in anywhere else, I'll be happy with where I go to college. So first, with my acceptance to Penn State, I guaranteed that I ( Read more... )

In light of recent events I feel bad posting good news, but on the other hand I'd like to thank Henline for helping this happen. I got an acceptance letter today from the Schreyer Honor College at Penn State. They are also offering me $9500 per year in scholarship (That's about half of tuition, I think). This means I have a good alternative to ( Read more... )

My energy is torched. I spent an estimated 35 hours from Saturday through Tuesday working on Robotics at the Engineering building. Most of that was trying to get the thing programmed. Since the thing had to be shipped out today, I wanted to get the programming finished. Sadly I didn't have close to enough time. Another ten hours and I might ( Read more... )

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and I. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you. =) When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be suprised (or mortified) about what people remember ( Read more... )
