I really need to see more of the US. Oregon and Maine are high on the list, since I know people there. I haven’t actually seen either of the oceans (except from 40,000 feet when I flew to Germany) and I’d like to at least see one.
Any other suggestions?
Finally, the long awaited explanation to my last post.
Dawn invited me to a show. An acoustic cover band called The Fire was playing at Graffiti’s. The band was pretty good, the company was enjoyable, and the venue was surprisingly pleasant (for a downtown bar in Stevens Point).
I did get a little bored during one of the band’s breaks though. The conversation didn’t catch my interest (it was probably about something “girly”) so I thought about what else I could do. Earlier that day I had discovered how to get into the “hidden” web browser on my new cell phone. So I pulled it out and started surfing. Where to surf… I visited a few sites and then it hit me. I should totally blog this!
So the last post was made from a RAZR cell phone from a bar during a rock show. That has to earn me some serious geek cred. Not that that’s a particularly good thing, I suppose…
I am at a bar. More later.
I had my first math exam in 15 years (give or take) on Friday. I had been pretty sick for the preceding week and I came into the exam knowing that I wasn’t going to be able to do my best. (At that point I was pretty happy to be awake and moving, much less able to take an exam.) I took the exam and knew that I was pretty lost on the last page but otherwise it didn’t seem too bad.
I read Digg daily. Recently an article hit the front page on how to add an animated live search to your WordPress blog. Since I have been looking at AJAX solutions for the internship project, I figured it would be a neat thing to try. So now there is a new search tool over there in the sidebar. Let me know if you have any suggestions or problems with it.
I’ve also added several new categories and gone back and recategorized all of my posts. I corrected a few problems that slipped in during the conversion from iBlog too. Not a big deal but worth noting.
Normally I don’t pay much attention to the latest memes floating around on the web but these two really caught my fancy.
I am curious to see what other people think so if you wouldn’t mind taking a look… Let me know if you start your own and I’ll return the favor.
We didn’t get as much snow as they threatened. I’d guess that we might have gotten 5″ of the 6-12″ that they predicted. It still made for some fun driving and a few sessions of shoveling.

Ever felt like a fool?
Are you a fool if you don’t know what’s going on? Are you a fool for caring about what’s going on when it’s not a part of your life? Are you a fool for letting it affect your life?
I don’t know and I probably shouldn’t care.
But I do…
My 34th birthday is quickly approaching. Some of my classmates could be 17 years old. I could have had a kid when I was 17. That means that I am old enough to be the father of some of the hot chicks I am leering at on campus.
*sigh*
I just got my English 351 grade. I got an A. Three classes, three 4.0s. Unprecedented in my academic history, I think. Why didn’t I realize that college was this easy on my first (or even second) time through?
