Our engineering thing is so cool. Lego MindStorms shall not be disrespected for engineering project prototyping. Plus, I may have landed myself a healthy summer internship! Regradless, we got it all coded up; the light sensor detects, it stops, picks up the object, and then takes it to the ‘trash’. It even has an initialization loop to zero everything and put the arm where it should be. I have Sarah’s dragging (which is mostly what coding involves on these MindStorms things) abilities to thank for that.
So I was in that engineering room from 1pm until 7pm yesterday. An absolute blast of a time. I knew (I knew) it all along this is what I like; and it’s becoming more sure everyday. Speaking of which, I’m still doing the dentistry thing. Looks like the internship program might be delayed (I’m a lowly freshman), which could stink. I’ll see what happens; they might be able to squeeze me in. Oh, and I forgot to mention, my newest design project is up at KaplerPartnership.com - it’s a fixed width, variable font size, standards-compliant, intuitive, dynamic, custom-logo project. I’m starting to be happy with my work (would you believe that). Next step, my own server and modrewrite. Or, figure out modrewrite on this one. Scratch my own server, I really (Thank you Justin) like this one, I just really like mod_rewrite as well. Continuing on, SimpleBits evolved their design a bit; clever, stylish, and clean as usual.
I made a logo for a site called typographica, we’ll see if it gets posted. Oh, and calc.org is using my logo again. Who knew?
Ah me, what else. Oh yes, while down at class (after having my face frozen off by -20 windchill), I found the Evanescence CD. There was no case, and no one had been around to claim it. Thus, I just finished ‘listening’ ;) to it on here, and I was able to listen to the bonus track online which is only available with the CD product key. I am a happy camper. I think I like the straight version of My Immortal (with orchestra) better than the Band Version. I’ll just return it to its home tomorrow.
Piano is going well. So is Theo (I have more bible quotes than I want to share right now). I am going to make a bowling collage, perhaps.
Dan and I made the coolest scale. It goes from 0 (meaning that person wants to kill you) to 100 (70 years old and still as in love as the day you were wed). I will post the progression sometime. Dan’s progress is being charted right now using a thumb tack. Hilarious. You ask, who are we charting on Dan’s list? Can’t tell you that.
Steve is being kept up by beautiful women in his dorm room late at night. We (me?) are/am devising a plan to save him and get him some sleep and uglier people.
