My fever broke late last night, so I was able to go to school today. Those looking for an explanation of my new name don't need to look any further. I'll be sure to explain it.
Also, as the days go by, it becomes more and more likely that I'll be able to make it to Washington DC for BrickFair, so I'm quite happy about that.
Finally, a question: does the Law of the Conservation of Energy apply to matter too? I believe it does, but can't remember for sure.
Yipp-Arrrgghhh!
Well, another successful name change.
Also, on a more unfortunate note, I've got a nasty fever right now, and very little energy.
As such, I'm in front of the TV right now, typing all this stuff on my iPod.
Yipp-Arrrgghhh!
Sorry about not getting the pictures to you sooner.

Picture quality could be better, but I was in a hurry when I took them.
No, I was not born in May, emeralds are my favorite "jewel".

I'm gone for 4 days and half of BZP falls apart. I've been reading around BZP, looking for info on the supposed "hacks" that all occurred. Turns out, I must have gotten one of those PM's because I got the email saying I had an unopened PM, but when I checked BZP, nothing was there. Anyway, my weekend: Friday I went to Bismarck with my dad and several other guys to a Men's Retreat there. It was my dad's birthday, so we had a nice little "party" for him. I bought Gresh (who is very awesome)
And I'm not even sure what it was called. I've had it since I was, oh, probably 2 or 3.
It stored Lego pieces of all sorts inside of it, and when you were done playing, you'd run the device pictured along the ground and it would scoop up the pieces. The mechanism that did so is in picture number three.
Without "lid".
"Vacuum" part.
Can anyone tell me what this is and maybe how much the whole thing is worth?

Alright, so I have seven days to build a non-electric device that can accurately tell time intervals between 10 seconds and 5 minutes. Ideas anyone?

Ever since I got GarageBand '09, I've been working on it practically nonstop. I've got 5 different projects going on right now, and the one your about to hear is my favorite thus far. The only software instrument is the drums. All the guitars you hear were parts played and recorded by me. As you can tell, the quality from '08 to '09 is quite an improvement.

Please, by all means, tell me your thoughts.

So the other day; a package arrived for my dad that I opened and set up at his request. The contents? A wireless G router to replace our aging wireless B router. Now, our internet is even faster than before, and hopefully, my MK:Wii will work better on WiFi.
Also, my dad wiped his Mac's hard drive and installed Leopard operating system as well as iLife and iWork 09. This makes me quite happy because it means I've upgraded from GarageBand 08 to GarageBand 09!

The afore mentioned iPod Touch was an early Birthday present to me from my parents. I've been having loads of fun with it, such an incredible piece of technology. 16 GB 2nd generation, for those who are wondering. Also, 17 really doesn't feel that different from 16, but that was kinda expected.

...aren't what this entry is about. As you know, today is February 12. I find today a day of great importance. Our (the US) great 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, was born 200 years ago today. Lincoln was undoubtedly one of the best leaders this country has had. His morals and leadership ended slavery in the United States, and began the long, slow process of reaching racial equality here. One hundred years ago, in honor of his memory, the US Mint created the Lincoln penny; which has become

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.

What a week, oh boy. Had a field trip to Bismarck today... we visited the capitol building and sat in on the meetings of the Senate and House of Representatives. I was able to sit on the House floor next to Representative Mike Schatz (who's from my district). I was able to talk with him for quite a while, and every time a vote was called, he told me how he was going to vote, and I got to push the switch that counted as his vote! So many awesome things went on, and I'm going to try to registe
I'm on page 424ish in Brisingr, and I swear that book gets better and better as the pages go by. Any ideas about a possible release time for book 4?
Also, possible name change sometime soon, just still waiting for coughA CERTAIN SOMEONEcough to help me out with when.

Oh boy, what a week this has been. Our school doesn't have semester finals, or anything like that, but a few of the teachers have been piling on the work since Tuesday (no school (snow day) on Monday) in anticipation of the semester's end. In other words, lots of homework and the such. I find it incredibly difficult to believe that the school year is half done. Each year goes by faster and faster than the last.
Just the same, tomorrow marks my 2 year anniversary on BZP, another thing that
