First, I got into USC’s combined plan program. Second, I got into Columbia’s combined plan program. Third, PROFIT!!!!!!! (or extreme dancing) I’m pretty stoked right about now. I don’t have to go to USC, and I got into Columbia’s combined plan program for computer engineering (rather than the saner choice of electrical engineering). The only […]
So… life. The reprap project is on the ropes: I spent a week cutting around getting 3.5 parts done. I have maybe 4-7 weeks left to finish it: the math just does not add up. My project partner is MIA, and Digikey is holding up my order for some reason, perhaps because I ordered a […]
So, I pretty much got a minimal amount of sleep last nightmorning, and not a whole much more the day before that. So, I’m running pretty close to empty, but at least I don’t have anything big and wildly unfinished due tomorrow. Dumping core right now probably isn’t the best idea, but like drunk people, […]
Well, well, well: guess who’s MCM team got a finalist designation! Meaning that we were in the top 1% of the MCM teams; unfortunately, I think that the lack of graphics in my section might have contributed to our failure to attain outstanding (right, so I’ll stop with the self-blame and try to maintain a […]

It’s not a raise-a-ruckus dislike, nor a taser-toting-demonstration dislike, but just a post-on-a-blog level of dislike, especially since no one else is talking about […]
So why haven’t I been updating? I like to think that the MCM has irrevocably killed my schedule, but it really ain’t that: life’s just catching up to me over and over again. It’s really annoying. I’ve had viral gastroenteritis (using the power of google, you too can self-diagnose when things go horribly wrong with yourself!), […]
So, quick status report before I sleep. I haven’t been getting enough sleep, so I’m kind of wiped out right now. My day went like this: school, talk to professor, eat, school, work on next iteration of coilgun, break an ott light, eat greasy food, go to a concert, made a smoothie, and tried to […]
For posterity, I will now record my actions that resulted in the installation of Windows 7 to my hard drive. Listen closely, for it is a sad, sad tale. Maybe not so sad: the XP install I had was showing it’s age as boots took minutes and things were just generally slow. And since Windows […]
