Discovery of New Element Rocks the Scientific Community

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium.....

Carz

Well, this took a lot longer to get on the blog than it really should have, but if you hadn't heard already, I have had a little car drama recently. If you have heard, well, we'll record it anyway for posterity's sake.

Out of the Black Hole

I, The Net Ninja, as I sit here listening to the Tron Legacy soundtrack, have just recovered from an epiphany. I realized a moment ago that I am the administrator of a website called TheNetNinja.com, and this website has a blog. As shocking as this discovery was, it probably doesn't compare to the shock of anyone who might have checked the site periodically over the past months, and might perhaps be accustomed to the static nature of its content.

The Ease of Calculus

A Little bit of Perspective

A lot of talk has been going on lately about the health care bill that has been going through congress. Our president and his supporters have been pushing very hard to get this bill passed as soon as possible. "What's taking so long?" they complain, "this is the right thing to do, so lets just pass it!" they yell. If you are at least somewhat familiar with the process that our congress has for passing law, you know that each bill must be read before the house of representatives and the senate before being voted on.

Drivers Licenses and Vehicle Security

Ah, the DMV. Who doesn't enjoy the euphoria of basking in the utopia of the regulatory government system that keeps all traveling peoples safe from mishap, and in perfect harmony? Socialism at its best. Drawing enormous crowds of people, nearly bursting with the anticipation of witnessing the famous, the legendary, the blinding magnificence of the efficiency and expedience that has given the Division of Motor Vehicles it's flawless reputation of excellence nationwide.

College Plans

These past few months, especially since graduating from NTBI, I have been weighing options for finishing my college education, and I have finally come up with a solid plan. I mentioned in a previous post that I have been considering getting a degree in electrical engineering. The method I will be using for this goal is as follows: for the purpose of keeping cost and time down, I will be doing 16 transferable credits with College Plus (a test for credit system), and then transferring to University of Colorado Denver. While looking at colleges, I had narrowed it down to UCD, and Mines.

Fascinating... It be 2010...

It has recently come to my attention that the year is not 2009 anymore. This realization has been somewhat of an irritation in situations such as check writing. The realization that you just screwed up your check blank after you've already filled out the rest of it, the irritated look from the other party to your sheepish look as you fumble with another check... Things like that. However, since it is in fact a new year, this also means that I have not yet posted on my "blog" this year (and the debate about whether or not I posted last year is still going on).

Macbook Battery, Rest in Peace...

Well, I seem to have found out something new about the particular batteries they put in the 13" plastic macbooks... When I left for Bolivia, I forgot to turn my macbook off, which drained the battery, and put the computer in hibernation mode. Unfortunately, one of the little fineprint things that nobody reads is that if you leave the battery discharged for just a few days, it kicks the bucket. Bites the bullet. Gets a pink slip for life. If you have this happen to you, it's probably a waste of time to bother with the apple store.

I Back!!

Well, I made it there and back. We showed up at the airport in Santa Cruz at about 8:00 pm on the evening of the 1st, found out our flight was delayed for about two hours, and after some sitting, we flew out at about 1:00 am the morning of the 2nd. After 7 hours of flight, we landed in Miami FL, where most of us went our separate ways. I managed to get a flight at 6:05 pm back to Denver, so I ended up sitting at the airport board out of my mind for 10 hours. Oh well, I had some books with me, so I did lots of reading.
