Poker, Poker, Poker
This summer I played a lot of poker with the people I was staying with. I was all excited to come back and play with my friends here now that I had improved. Much to my dismay they had all gone and switched to Euchre, which I have absolutely no interest in learning.
I took harryh's advice and signed up for the wrgpt. It is an email based poker ( Read more... ) -

Worlds Fair for Kids
I haven't written in a while because there hasn't been much to report so now I'll fill it all it. This semester I'm working on a project for the Worlds Fair for Kids. This is an event this April that is meant as a sort of "family spring break". Last semester a group of 10 students build an animatronic character, Quasi the Robot. The WFK came to ( Read more... ) -
IM Greeting
It's odd that there isn't a standard greeting for IM. There should me something, a way of saying "I would like to talk to you or ask a question" as the ringing of a phone would do. Not even the same as "Hello" because that's actually the response, it's more the question, "Are you there?" "Hey", "Hi", "Ping", "are you there?", "firstname?" seem to ( Read more... ) -
The Scenic Route
Today Jeremy, Matt, and I decided to work out and experiment with a new way to get to work. First thing in the morning we met up and ran GATech's π mile (3.14 miles). Then instead of our normal drive, we took our bikes on MARTA, Atlanta's train system, and then from the northmost station, North Springs, road our bikes 10.5 miles to office. Needless ( Read more... ) -
CrossPosting to LiveJournal
You asked for it and you got it! Most of my friends use LiveJournal and only check the blogs they can read on their friends pages. I have had a LiveJournal account for a while but I haven't used it. My friends suggested that I should, or at least generate an RSS feed for them to syndicate. In the past I used my custom system because I hadn't ( Read more... ) -
Heading Back
The summer is almost over. Where'd it all go? I didn't get as much done this summer as I had hoped. I had all these person projects I wanted to work on. My websites and self improvement stuff. I didn't run or work out. There's only 1 website project (on a list of dozens) that got done. I had all these school related projects I wanted to work on. ( Read more... ) -
Armageddon
Tonight the sky opened up and I thought it was the end of the world. We hadn't heard any storm warnings. I was at my friend Jeremy's watching a movie. I'd been driven there from work by Matt, but he had left as soon as the movie ended and I was there a little longer. It's only 4 blocks from where I live and I've scootered it many times and walked ( Read more... ) -
