Allons-y!

So, I may have just finished watching all six series of Doctor Who available on Netflix.   And I'm quite glad I did. Awesome show. David Tennant is best pony Doctor.   I want a sonic screwdriver.

Akano's A Graduate?

Yep, that's right, every peoples. I graduated from high school on Saturday. I feel so old.   I'm sure people are wondering, "What's this going to mean for the comics?" Probably not too much, at least not until autumn, because I'm still going to be home until marching band in college starts up.   And I still have no clue what I want to be when I grow up.

Akano In Grad School?

Clearly I am the best blogger ever. XD   I just got an e-mail last night accepting me into one of the graduate schools I've applied to! Akano is on his way to torturing physics students by lecturing them to death on how trumpets work. 8D   Also, I got the new Pharaoh's Quest 7327 Scorpion Pyramid. While Jake Raines is no Johnny Thunder, I have to say that LEGO having a new Egypt line makes me happy. 8D

About to give my first final exam

This week marks the last week of the first half of the semester, which means that my half-semester Optics course is coming to a close. It's been busy (hence my lack of presence), but I almost have one full course under my belt. So far there have been two lessons I gave that could have been better presented, but the students have been fairly engaged and seem more or less okay with the material. I guess we'll see how it goes once the final happens.   I did try writing a new Equation of the Day, bu

A Week...

Well, it's been a week since I started my course, and it's not too bad... But taking those tests is murder... @@;;   Anyway, first week of summer break and it hasn't been all too bad. I finally decided to take apart Keetongu and let my brother build Voporak...which means he only built his right leg and I had to build the rest. XP He's quite awesome. For a bulky combiner, he's built very sturdily and completely. In short: I likey. 8D   Hopefully after we get some schweet pics we'll build

A True, True Friend

Confound these ponies!   They drive me to sing.   I liked the finale, but I kinda wish it were a two-parter. It felt slightly rushed as one episode.   Also, SONG OVERLOAD.

A note on the life of a graduate student

I hate deadlines.   There's a conference that my adviser wants my lab group to go to in June. Understandable. What's not understandable is that the deadline for abstracts to present at said conference is tomorrow (it was originally Friday, but got bumped back over the weekend). This means, of course, that I have to have enough data to write an amazingly short paragraph about what I'd be presenting at the conference by tomorrow. At 5 p.m.   Now, I'm not one for stress. As my brothers and roommate

A GIF of a neutron bouncing on a table

I've blogged before about the physics of bouncing a particle like a neutron on a table or other similar surface. Well, someone at the University of Arkansas has made an animation of how the spread of said particle over space evolves in time if it starts out in a "Gaussian wavepacket," which is a fancy way of saying that the neutron starts out looking more like a particle than a wave by being localized in space. The animation is here, while the full page containing the full Quicktime movie is her

Happy Birthday to me! 8D   Oh, and KK, too.

…Until my comics are eight years old.   You'd think after all that time I'd have more than 154 of them.

~pokes The Stagnant Blog~

Nothing like a month's wait to post a new blog entry, eh?   Well that dreaded evil known only as Writer's Block has hit me like a brick wall, as demonstrated previously here. I'd like to get one done by the end of this weekend, but nothing's popping into mind. Eh, it happens, I guess.   I got my BZPower engraved brick yesterday, and it's really good quality. Special thanks to Binkmeister for holding that fundraiser. ^^ It is now firmly placed in the front of my Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins se

*Sweeps up the snow*

Hello, BZPeople! I just wanted to drop in and let you know that I'm quite alive and well and have had a wonderful holiday season. I thought I'd give you all a quick rundown of my last month or so after I vanished without a trace. Went home and celebrated Christmas with my folks. Got AN AWESOME INSECT COLLECTION from Tekulo; a custom lightsaber, a LEGO coffee mug, and a Knights minifigure set from KK; a portable charger thing from my mom; an Elvis mug/cocoa mix from my aunt; and a gift box from

Well done, Alex Hirsch. Well done.   The latest Gravity Falls episode was excellent. Totally squashed theories about the author of the journal and, while answering some questions, raised even more. Can't wait for the next episode...

*insert Topic Title Here*

It's been a while since I updated this, huh? I absolutely suck at keeping a blog. >>;;   Anywho, I've been back from my trip for a week, I think. It was great. I saw a bunch of relatives and I ordered the Inika while there. I must say now, Hewkii rules.   I looked at Dr. B's review of him, and I must say I got different Zamors with Hewkii. I got 2 yellows and 2 orange-red mixes. Same with Nuparu, so I gave Hewkii the yellows, Nuparu the red/orange. They look a lot better. ^^;   A

*Grabs Popcorn*

It's really amusing to me that everyone is freaking out about this canonization stuff, mainly because this is what happened to me several years ago.   As someone who ended up disagreeing with new canon information during BIONICLE's initial tenure, let me assure you: the new canon is meaningless. Even if Greg Farshtey says that Toa can transform into gigantic dinosaurs and feast on souls, it would mean absolute bupkis. Why? Because the fun of BIONICLE isn't what's officially created, but what we,

Yes, I am alive. 8D   I'm sorry to those two viewers out there that I haven't been posting here since January. Having stupid fluff classes in college tends to rot your brain since it isn't getting any application to any subjects...and so forth ramble ramble.   But now the semester draws to a close, and finals are approaching in the next couple weeks. Oh, it'll be a blast, believe me.[/sarcasm]   Anywho, I have also posted new comicses, believe it or not, since January. My most recent was

>>   Guess it's been a while. I don't think anyone's surprised.   Here's what has happened since I last posted here: I sang at my school's graduation back in May and realized that in one year I'll be walking in front of all those people receiving my diploma. Scary thought. I spent a short two weeks at a mini physics internship. I wish I could have stayed longer, but the college I went to did not have enough funding to take me on for the full summer. My brother, KopakaKurahk, and I ha

...yes, I'm Alive...barely...

Barely alive! Mwee! *flop*   Yeah, senior year has hit me like a ton of bricks. BTW, never try getting hit by a ton of bricks. You tend to break body parts.   And I've noticed some of you *coughToMcough* have been thinking that my reason for lack of comic output is the new idea I have. Trust me, I haven't even started that yet. The real reason is lack of time and inspiration. You could call it artist's/writer's block, I guess.   But, I hope to get a new comic up before I die of overlear
