The first goal I ever had on BZPower has been realized. I never thought I would see the day that I got 1000 posts here, but I have, and I'm hopefully still going to go strong. My next post goal shall be 5000 posts, but I doubt I'll see that for a couple of years.
Anyway, I've got 1000 posts now, and I'm happy about it.
Welcome to the Pearl Showcase!
The central theme of this blog involves Pearl drumsets and accessories (I am a percussionist/drummer, and Pearl is my favorite brand). The category images are based off of the discography of the band "Newsboys", and entries pertaining to the contest will be based on many different musically related things. Also, notice the header and footer images and font color of this entry. All entries in this blog that are meant to be a part of the Pimp My Blog contest wi

It's been added to the Astronomy page of nathan8472.com. Oh man, I've got so many updates I want to get done, it's not even funny. Not sure how long it'll take to get them all up though.

I'm at camp again, same campgrounds, different camp, and this time, I'm on the staff. I'm a part of their security force, mainly nightwatch. At the moment, I'm watching the moniters of several security cameras throughout the campgrounds. Strangely enough, this work is actually rather enjoyable.

The other day, my computer was infected by 2 spyware programs and 4 Trojan Horse viruses. This event happened when I downloaded an Active X Control off of the internet. Active X Controls are usually harmless, but this one was infected all the way through. I request that you be cautious whenever downloading anything from the internet, no matter how reputable the company is. Also, never, and I say again, never download any anti-virus or anti-spyware software, because usually, these are also in
How many of you would like an entire rundown of all the major celestial events of 2008?
Please comment even if you're only slightly interested so I can know how many people would view it.
Well, I made this quite a while ago, and I couldn't think of anything to build for the 46th BBC contest, so I decided (at the last minute) to enter this in. It's an Air Speeder for a Toa of Fire.
I made it with landing gear that actually extends and retracts, and the overall design of it is pretty solid. I even built it with headlights!

Well, a great big congratulations to Obama on becoming our 44th president! If I could have voted, I would have voted for McCain, but I'm quite interested in seeing all that Obama can/will do for the US.
Also, John Hoeven WON an unprecedented third term as governor of North Dakota! He beat his opponent in a major landslide, gaining over 75% of the popular vote, and I'm quite happy about it. Both of my parents voted for him, and if I could vote, I would have too. He's done a great many awes
Well, as all of you know, the deadline for entries in The Observatory's contest is June 18th, but I found out recently that we're going on vacation the 19th, and we'll be gone for a week. I'm not really in the mood to manage polls while on vacation, so I ask you; do I keep the deadline at June 18th, or do I extend it to June 26th?

Well, I very luckily got the opportunity to get to a computer with internet right now. I can't stay on or more than a half hour, but it's great to be back to BZP again. Our lodge is awesome (elevation 5,643 feet) and sits at the top of a small mountain. We've been to Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse memorial, two Mini-Golf Courses, Prince Caspian, and just about everywhere else in this area. I'm enjoying myself quite a bit too. Oh, I've already taken over 200 pictures, and I expect many mor
So I'm leaving tomorrow morning to South Dakota for our family vacation. I'll be gone for 5 days, and I don't think I'll be able to get to a computer at all during that time. I hate being away from BZPower for that long, but I don't have much of a choice.
May I remind all of you of this pretty little thing here. I'd be overjoyed if as many of you entered as possible.
I'll be back on Friday.
I'll miss you all!

I based the design off of the Sovereign class battleship, mainly altering the secondary hull. An assault ship was built into the top of the saucer section; and it can be quickly detached for battle or exploration, etc.

That's right, so many other people have made their own awards, I finally decided to do so myself. If you deserve any of them, comment here to say which you are taking, and feel free to take them, but if you don't deserve them, don't take them; it's as simple as that. These awards are fashioned after the comm badges on Star Trek Voyager. I call them Astronomy Awards, and they are full of win.

The Astronomy section of nathan8472.com will be getting a huge update in the next few days, including lots of stuff I think you'd all enjoy checking out. I'm drawing a blank with other things to add to the site, so if you have ideas, I'd love to hear them. Also, I finished editing my third GarageBand song, and it has been thoroughly completed. Work on the fourth song has begun.
I haven't had a PM in almost a week, and that's quite surprising for me. I usually get one or two a day.

Entries and Updates will begin tomorrow, but what should you expect?
Tomorrow I shall post basic astronomy for the next month, and celestial events for July and August
If you have any sets that I should review, PM me and I'll review them for you. Questions about astronomy, space, celestial events? Ask in either a comment or by PMing me. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, I'll be able to answer your question. Also, if you want to be in my PBZP, comment or PM me and I'll see what I can

Well, I finished my Ta-Su-Xai Self-MOC, and it's quite impressive in my eyes. I was making an awesome vehicle for it too, but unfortunately, it wasn't as compatible with the MOC as I wanted it to be, so I think I'm going to forget about it for now. I'll try to post the MOC either tomorrow or Saturday.
About MOCotW, Nukora's idea seems like it'd work pretty well, so MOC of the Week will still move to my website, but an entry will be made in my blog for any feedback you may have.
There was a pun contest in our local newspaper a few weeks ago.
I got really excited about it, since I love puns.
So excited, in fact, that I collected or composed ten puns and entered them into the contest, hoping that at least one would win.
Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

If my sources are correct, the upcoming Lunar Eclipse is the very last one until December 20th .................... of 2010.

I've been so busy lately. This is the first time that I've been home all day, and I'm going straight to bed. I'm sorry for the lack of blog entries, as I know how much all of you love to read my blog.
I finished taking pictures of my self-MOC, and I wanted to post it two days ago, but my life has prevented me from doing so. I officially could have changed my name back to Argetlam yesterday, but I'm gonna wait until I have the self-MOC posted. OK?
If all goes well, I'll get it posted tom
