Another week of no updates, but at least I have an excuse. This week has been
really really busy with school and other various stuff, and at last it's over
and I can start getting back in the regular hectic-but-tolerable pace that I'm
used to. And spring break is only a week away, which is muy goodo.
This is fun.
Being in Florida we don't get much (any?) snow, but thanks to the Internet that
can now change. Here is How To Build your own Snow
Gun with pictures and hardware list. Of course being that there are no
mountains in Florida it's not very good for downhill skiing (well except for
that huge hill by the New Engineering Building hehe) but it's snow.... in
Florida!!!
A very interesting article on the internet and privacy was on Slashdot today. It's pretty long, but an
insightful look into what happens when you write an email that you consider
"private" but ends up being forwarded multiple times until it eventually appears
on the internet. Everything you write on the internet or in email could
eventually be found by anyone if you're unlucky enough, as the "Forward" button
is just a click away.
On a sadder note, Mr Rogers
died yesterday. I, like many of my peers, grew up watching him on PBS, and
while I do admit I like Seseame Street more, Mr. Rogers was a really cool show,
especially when they took tours of different factory's and things. I remember
reading a profile of him in Readers Digest a few years ago, and thinking how
incredible this guy is, because he really loves children. He will be
missed.
Now you can get Joe
Millionaire for only $15,000! Or the girl he picked for $10,000. Hooray for
capitalism.
