So wait - it's spring behind, right?

I AM hungry for taquitos

Welcome back, readers. As per your request, I am here to give you the latest breaking important news that you'll ever need to know. Here are some things that may affect your view of the world and force you to look deep inside yourself and ask "Am I hungry for taquitos?"

World Politics: Once again, the Russians are up to no good. Well, at least their president. Putin, how could you?!?

U.S. Science: Once again, scientists are making headway in the making-water-go-uphill race. I hear Russia is fuming they didn't find it first.

What have things come to?

Giving fake police officers a bad reputation.

Ever recall playing a game with siblings or friends and, even though there was nothing really at stake, some of them got a little too into it? Good thing they eventually grow up...some of them, anyway. This probably comes as no surprise to people who play basketball at the local YMCA.

Life imitates Art

Only to Charlie Brown would this happen. (Seriously, though, hope this guy gets better...)

Watch me as I throw caution into the wind...there it went.

Look at this story! Isn't that unbelievable?!? Whew, I'm glad I live in a country where nothing like that happens! (Okay, so I suspect everybody sees the differences in these, but still...)

The Vernal Equinox

Welcome to spring

My last entry was more interesting than this

In my pursuit of information on just what happened with Radio Free Colorado, I found that a rumor was abound that the station was broadcasting under an alias; 90.3 FM Capetown, ZA. Plus, on one messageboard Gary's, uh, lawyer (who, not to imply anything, wrote a lot like Gary himself) gave a link to Radio Free Colorado's shoutcast status, which also linked to the new station. Bottom line, this station does play music very nearly resembling the old RFC, but I haven't heard any rants yet...
Yep, that's about how interesting this day has been.

The upcoming invasion

That's right, we are undergoing an invasion. I just took a look up at the fluorescent light above me - only to see outlines of two of those fake-ladybug bugs. While a student at Purdue, it wasn't unusual to see the fixtures filled with them, not to mention haven't to throw them off keyboards and personal items daily. I haven't seen an outbreak for several years, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to endure another one again.
However, this doesn't look promising. Obviously, these two were sent to scout out the location. And I'll bet the location looks great (which, it would seem, is ALWAYS what the scouts report). I'll keep you updated, but I felt I had to write this down in case I am not able to in the future (because I'll have 50 bazillion ladybugs on my keyboard).
In other news, this guy is a moron.

Naptown

Welcome back to another entry in your favorite blog. This past weekend, I made a short trip to Indianapolis, where many Big Ten schools were prepping up for tournament games. Purdue, on the other hand, was scouring NCAA rules to find out if they, perhaps, could be rescued by an Air Bud-like animal. All dogs asked thus far, though, have turned them down. An opposum has been said to be interested, however.
But back to the trip at hand. It should be noted that for the first time in many months, this wasn't a trip for testing another prototype. Instead, I went just for the sake of going somewhere. Well, that's not entirely true - I wanted to get an NCAA Final Four t-shirt. Okay, so I didn't go to any games, but as if that matters. If anybody asks, I could always say I went to the play-in game (as Dick Vitale would probably say, the real championship game might be in the play-in game).
Finally, did you know that Google has a large-scale map in which you have the ability to zoom in and zoom out? I was even able to find my house! Here it is.
And I don't know what news you've read lately, but I'll bet you that you haven't read anything this weird in a while...

And finally, the GERMAN phrase of the day:
German: Helligkeits-Gruppierungsschema
English: Brightness Groups
(Thanks to an LED datasheet)

Until next time...

Free of Radio Free Colorado

Perhaps you missed the big news about Microsoft? The anti-trust suits? No, that's not what I'm talking about. The susceptibility to viruses, worms, and (likely) bagels? Hardly news. Nope, there's some big news that didn't make the front page, back page, and really didn't show up anywhere since people weren't talking about it. However, I was able to find the HUGE news that you were looking for.

It's finally here. What, you don't care? Well, okay then.

Maybe you were looking for this instead? That's right, this search engine will revolutionize everything because you now no longer have to look at freaky characters during the olympics.

Finally, I have to announce my former favorite radio station, Radio Free Colorado, mysteriously went off the air. Rumors and conspiracy theories abound, it seems that Gary may have indeed had some problems...

I'm glad my nuclear engineering class wasn't taught by this guy...

My alma mater's in the news again.

UAE? Is that where they make iPods?

I think many of those who know me and read this blog remember the good ol' days of Channel One. To be honest, I don't remember that much about it. I do remember they had the Beastie Boys on it once, but that's about it. But if I did remember anything about it, it appears likely it wouldn't be worthwhile.

It's a shame students just remember the ads, because they should be paying attention to worthwhile stories.

This is a great title

You know what makes the cold weather here feel even colder? When comparing it to this and finding that the outlook of both are similar. (blogger's note: actually, those living there are probably wearing short and playing beach volleyball since it's summertime for them)

Also, I have a problem with this game. Rodents? I think not! They're lagamorphs!

That is all...by the way, can you tell I broke out my HTML book? Good stuff!

Addendum: I have tried to get a sprite out of a vending machine, but here's the challenge: it refuses to take any dimes, the price is 60 cents and it is complaining that I need exact change (although the light doesn't indicate that). I guess that means I'll have to fish out nickels or give up. Eh, sprite doesn't sound so good anyway...

Why I don't understand the English...

Their dating scene is pretty bizarre.

In a week, you'll find out what this is...and you probably still won't care...
