So. I'm a bit of a science geek. ... By that I mean that I know GCSE level evolutionary biology. My teacher noticed this and well...with the amount of times I was putting my hand up to intervene I was pretty much teaching the class anyway. So today. I teach. A lesson. ON CLASSIFICATION! THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME. B)

I originally thought I missed out on the series 2 minifigs after Toys R Us sold out before I was able to get over there. However, fate had other plans for me. While I was shopping this weekend I discovered a massive stock pile of series 2 minifigs in the Christmas of a local Shopko. I didn't have a bar code chart, but I manged to feel out a Karate Master. I got lucky with that one, since it came with two of the minifig statue things. I went back the next day with one of my brothers and a bar code chart. This stockpile was basically unsearched. My brother and I sorted through less then half of the packages and we found 3 Spartans. Total finds included a mime, the disco dude, the pharaoh, the karate master, and two Spartans for my self, and my brother got a Spartan, the skier, and a karate master. I'm pretty happy with what have for now, so I should be set until series four comes out.

For the last Physics lab we did an experiment involving the the pressure of air at constant volume with varying temperature. In other words, we watched water boil and took pressure measurements at different temperatures. We didn't measure pressure directly, though. We had a special gauge that that changed it's electrical resistance based on pressure. Due to the jumpiness of the measuring tools, the extrapolated value we got for absolute zero was ~-292° C. The accepted value is -273.15° C.

School is just about over for this semester for me. I have two review class periods and three finals left. My computer science final is at 10:00 AM on Friday and it's open notes/book so it should be easy. Then on Mondat at 8:00 AM I have the economics final. It will probably decently hard, although it's multiple choice so that makes it a lot easier. The Physics final is at 7:30 AM on Tuesday. That one will probably be pretty hard. I don't think I'll have too much trouble if I go through my notes and stuff this weekend. I also have the second highest grade in the class right now so I should be in pretty good shape as long as I don't totally flunk it.

Dear Mr Weather. If you do not make it snow enough to close school tomorrow I will find you and kill you. ~Sincerely from your loving enemy, Lowtuff.~

I got the 2010 Linux Bible from library earlier today. It came with a couple of discs so I decided to try live booting a couple different versions of Linux. Both of the versions I tried seemed pretty nice. Everything worked right away, including my usb mouse, so that was a relief. It was pretty similar to the UNIX systems that I've been using at the university for Computer Science Lab, so the difference from Windows wasn't as shocking. I might consider ditching Windows 2000 for Linux at some point, but I'll have make sure I'll be able to get my stuff working with it.

Normally I don't get caught up in all the Black Friday shopping madness, however this year I've managed to complete all my Christmas shopping. I ordered my mom's and my brother's presents off of amazon, and I picked up a CD for my dad this morning. It's probably been five or six years since I've actually gone shopping on Black Friday, but my brother and I went up to Target at about 7:30. We got pretty lucky, since my brother was able to snag the second-to-last Nerf Raider that they had on sale for $19. They also had one of the 1TB external hard drives left that were on sale for $69. I passed on that though, since I already have one. I also went over to the local Pawn America and picked up 7 cd's for $1 each. I also got Arcade Fire album amazon had on sale for $2, but I technically didn't pay anything for it, since while I was browsing, there was a link that showed up on the side bar offering a $3 mp3 credit.

Yesterday, I got some freezing rain. The roads got pretty slick, so it was nice not having to go anywhere. It was still sprinkling a little bit when I went to class this morning. The main roads were pretty good, but any side streets were pretty icy. When I tried to turn into the alley where I park, I ened up sliding right past the turn. I stepped on the brakes with light pressure and the wheels instantly locked up, and I started sliding. I ended up going around to the other entrance, which was also icy, but a little bit more passable. Now it's snowing out. Not too much anymore, but it was coming down pretty decently when I went to work earlier.

I realized that as of today I've had my drivers license for about 1 year. It isn't exactly, but we sorted popcorn for the Boy Scout fundraiser so I'm going to count it as one year.

My library finally purchased The Small House Book by Jay Shafer, which is weird, because they originally told me it wasn't available to purchase. I'm not going to complain though. =P I'm starting to read through it and there is some interesting stuff in it. I like most of the houses Jay has designed, although I don't think I would be able to live, long term, in one of his tiny houses. I would have go with one of his small houses. 250 to 900 sq. ft is appealing to me though. Enough room to live in, but not too much excess. I suppose I would probably end up with more then that though, because I'd need a garage to store stuff.

Listen to Reason - Bryan Steeksma I felt your grip begin to fade You kept me tied, blind and afraid But then I broke you and saw The look on your face said it all So could you feel the way I felt Did you kneel the way I knelt Did you stand up and yell Pleading for someone to help Or listen to reason Open your eyes It's a wonder what you'll find with an open mind You may be surprised Yeah Gotta get away from this illusion For the sake of the world, this delusion It's gotta, gotta, gotta go-ooh Yeah-ooh If the dark is just a thought Then the light is in your mind The lies we tell ourselves Will ruin the world with time Did you feel the way I felt Did you kneel the way I knelt Or did you look up and stare Waiting for your acts or prayer Won't you listen to reason. Will you open your eyes It's a wonder what you'll find with an open mind You might be surprised Yeah Gotta get away from this illusion For the sake of the world, this delusion It's gotta, gotta, gotta go-ooh Yeah-ooh Gotta get away from this illusion For the sake of the world, this delusion It's gotta, gotta, gotta go-ooh When is it enough When will we all wake up So look around And see what's right before your eyes No control beyond these skies Gotta get away from this illusion For the sake of the world, this delusion It's gotta, gotta, gotta go-ooh Yeah-ooh Gotta get away from this illusion For the sake of the world, this delusion It's gotta, gotta, gotta go-ooh

Today was my birthday. I turned 26. My day was blessed with many wonderful surprises. I feel so fortunate to have so much love and abundance in my life. Sure, I had to hold back part of my rent this month to be able to eat, but that doesn't change the fact that I am provided for materially with everything I need to sustain and enjoy life. The outpouring of good wishes for my birthday from acquaintances, friends, and loved ones has made me feel truly rich. I am amazed at how many good things have been coming into my life recently: new friends, new activities, new outlooks, new levels of insight, even solid prospects for work and education. The past year as a whole has transformed and matured me through some unexpected, intense and sometimes very challenging and humbling experiences, and for this I am also exceedingly grateful. If I may speak about our collective experience from my own perspective, I feel we could be on the verge of some very intense times emotionally. Because of this, I've been making a conscious effort to prepare myself, ground myself in steady foundations, let go of fear and malaise and unhealthy attachments, engage in new creative work, make good memories while the making is good, and reach out to others just a little bit more. Time will tell whether any of this has anything to it, but I'm operating on the assumption that it does. My advice, in general too but especially if things turn upside down? Live life to the best of your ability. See the hidden good. Keep your friends close. Be honest. Have faith in the real. And (I guess this really sums up what I want to get across), DON'T PANIC.

Recently expanded my music collection. I've gotten a lot of new stuff lately, but Hawk Nelson was one of my bigger purchases. I bought Hawkology, the Hawk Nelson Anthology. Now I own their first three albums, Hawk Nelson is my Friend, Smile It's the End of the World, and Letters to the President. Smile It's the End of the World is definitely my favorite album. There's a lot of good songs. It's one of the few albums that I like most of the songs. Their music is more "rocky" then some of the other stuff I listen to, but it's still soft enough I can listen to it. I'm not sure if I want to get Live Life Loud, I listened to it a while and I don't remember being impressed. I'll have to revisit and see.

Heard of them? They're a HUGE fad at my school.

I can't really take full credit for this though, since someone else made the template back in 03. The topic is here, if anyone is interested.

Well, we didn't get the 2 to 4inches of snow my dad claimed, but for now I'm okay with that. The wind got pretty wild last night. On of the neighbors had a tree go down, although I don't think it hit anything. There are a bunch a branches down in my yard, ranging from small to a huge on that's in front. It's still raining/snowing out and the wind is still blowing fairly strong. It was only about 32 out this morning so I had to pull out my winter jacket for the first time this fall. Hopefully this will be done by this weekend. Camping in the rain is never fun.

So as of last night parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin are in a high wind advisory. As of right now there is some wind where I live but it hasn't gotten too bad yet. It's raining though the weather really isn't that nice. It's just icky out. I really wish I didn't have to work today.

I have the biggest hard drive in the house. =P Actually, I have the most memory in the house period, thanks to my new 1 TB external hard drive.

That's basically how my brain feels right now. I spent most of this afternoon trying to figure out how to complete 1 physics problem. I finally figured out how to do it, but it wasn't my text book that helped. It was this Physics book a friend gave my family, after they found it in a dumpster. For some reason, the authors of my text book decided to leave out the algebra for the one example problem that would have helped me so they could have a question for the end of the chapter.
