Life

Well, I got married. It went well I think. Now it is thank you card time.

The Song Tapper

I can't believe that the Song Tapper was able to guess the songs I was thinking of, just from me tapping the keyboard. It was able to successfully guess Barbara Ann, Darth Vader's theme (its real name is the Emperor's March, or Waltz, or something maybe), and the Super Mario theme. Too bad it requires at least 10 taps, ruling Shave and a Hair Cut out.

Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents Dinner

Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Transbuddha. My gut tells me this video is hilarious.

Warning: This video is over 22 minutes long. Be prepared for a long haul.

Windows XP Theme - Royale (a.k.a. The Glass Mod)

Tired of that "Fisher Price" look of Luna, the default theme for Windows XP? Thanks to the folks at Microsoft New Zealand, you too can have that neat Windows Media Player Theme, Royale, but inside a regular Home or Pro version of Windows XP! If that's not to your taste, then Softpedia Themes Section might have something that suits you even better (Hmm, like that Windows Vista Look-and-feel for XP with a somewhat strange title Universal Vista Inspirat Bricko Pack 1.1. I might have to try that out sometime.)

Volleyball Highlight #01

I dipped into the collection of DV tapes I recorded of our college days. Let me set the stage for those of us with bad memories, or weren't there for that exciting night of Sonic Drive-In volleyball action:

This four-year old walks right into the middle of our volleyball game. We didn't want her there obviously, because... well... we're really bad at this and, let's admit, there's a high risk of injury to anyone out there. Rather then flat out telling the little girl that she can't play, we decide to just shove her into a section of the court where (we thought) the ball usually doesn't bounce to.

"Wow. That's some good aim."

Finally...

Another semester (for those of us still in college) is winding down. Papers are turned in, tests are taken, grades are posted, and frantic packing commences in the dorms. I have outdone myself yet again by finding more dirty dishes hidden behind my microwave than I even knew I had. Perhaps dirty dishes have a way of reproducing or cloning themselves....Ditto for dirty laundry.

I'm looking forward to summer though. Classes sure do have a way of cutting into my fun time. Oh wait...I'm taking classes this summer...Oh snap. Well, at the very least, I won't be eating dorm food anymore. Chartwells: eat, choke, and die without me (if I sound particularly irate, it is just because I found a hair in my sausage biscuit this morning). I'm moving on.

So long everybody, and thanks for all the fish...er...blogs.

Microsoft speech recognition

so I just figured out how to use the Microsoft speech recognition in all sorts of applications like fire fox . So I'm using it to write this entire body and I'm not going to correct the mistakes that it makes . As you can see it used the word body instead of log and now it just use the word logs instead of dog and outages to use the word dog. I had a CBack spaceThe spec space backspace backspace backspace . I was trying to correct something but using backspace but that didn't go as what planned. I think I'd train the Microsoft beach recognition software for more it will be a lot of fun. Beach I like the beach two . Everybody should check it out in my opinion because it will just make life so much cooler with all of these audit mistakes that makes. And you can drive a whole bunch of blood in a hurry just by talking. And it just makes me laughAnd

Paul out .

Talk to your computer

So somehow the Mirosoft voice regection just started appearing on the taskbar and I checked it out. You sould to. It is amazing some of the stuff it write after what you say. It is a lot of fun, how it misunderstands somethings.

that is all I got.

iGod | Artificial Intelligence Chat

iGod | Artificial Intelligence Chat This program is great. It is a bit quirky on things at times, but always interesting. Finally, we can ask all those questions we've been meaning to ask, and get a stupid, circular response. Just try it. Fun stuff.

oh no schools ending

you whinners. oh my god classes are going to end. whoopie freak'n who gives a crap. They start and end every semester. and you babies whine every semester, grow up, suck it up and get over it. you don't know what hard is yet

Last Tuesday

So I just woke up...I'm at work and I guess I fell asleep (I don't think I drooled too much so that's always good). Anyways, I woke up and decided to check out what's new on YouTube...my new favorite addiction and ultimate procastinating tool. Guess what I found: the real life Simpson's intro. I was amused. But then, that could just be because I'm not yet up to full mental capacity (it takes awhile for me to reboot).

And in other news, it's cheap hamburger night, Sam's birthday is coming up, and we had Physics Club elections today and nobody died.

Peace out

I can not wait

Class are coming to an end and I am so glad. This year seems like it has been so long to me. So many things have changed over the last year. Change is sad somethings, but good others. If things never changed life would get boring that is for sure. It is just amazing what can happen in a year. Who knows what the future holds.
