Name Change

As some of you might of hear FHSU thought about changing there name this year and it got a lot of attention. In the end it was decided not a smart thing to do. This makes me think we should think about a name change of the blog. Perhaps we could have a two facebook groups for and against. Or perhaps make the news. I mean this is a very important blog and all. I bet a lot of people will have an opinion. I don't have a idea of a new name but if I think it needs to be a funny word that has no meaning because that seem to be the way of doing it. Like Google, ubuntu, gentoo, and all the other names you can think of of new tech. products. So bloggers start blogging about a name change.

A New Way to Waste Time!

So here I am sitting in class, learning how to open an Access database. I'm really glad I was invited to join this blog, because now instead of aimlessly staring at facebook, I can feel that I'm accomplishing something useful, even if it is just typing meaningless sentences. Plus the people sitting around me think I'm actually working hard and aren't talking to me. This is really cutting down on the amount of awkward conversation I feel compelled to make, so thanks!

Nerd News

So I have been telling Shayne that Cmake is best build tool ever. Today as I was using it some more it just made me more sure of how right I am. So if you want to compile some C or C++ or any task like building you such check out Cmake. If you need some proof cmake it good you should know it is used in KDE4 whch I am sure you are all using. If not you should try. Now that it will work on linux, windows, and Mac you have no reason not to. So download that thing and "be free." So until next time this is nerd talk.

Eating makes me hungrier

It's true; I decided to eat instant oatmeal with fake strawberries in it because I wasn't hungry--and now I am hungry. Anyways, I haven't done much today except go to class and work at the Writing Center. Oh, and homework. I read some of The Red Badge of Courage, and that made me fall asleep, so now I'm reading Stephen King's On Writing, which is a way cool book. You'd probably enjoy reading it even if you weren't that keen on writing. So, nothing as interesting as dropping eggs, sadly.

Speaking of eggs, I found an awesome french toast recipe. If you don't like french toast, stop reading. Take two slices of lightly toasted bread and spread strawberry (or kiwiberry, or bananaberry, or Barneyberry, whatever) between them. Then dip both sides in some beaten egg, milk, and cinnamon sugar (strangely enough, the stuff I use is the same cinnamon sugar, I believe, that Lester gave me when he moved out of Agnew--so thanks, Lester, it's great!). Then just fry it in a skillet and eat with lots of syrup and butter or lots more cinnamon sugar or more strawberry jam. Oh, and it's good to eat with eggs. The toasting is key here since it helps keep the sogginess of the bread to a reasonable level and keeps the bread from falling apart on you as you try to flip it and stuff. The jam is a delightful surprise for people who are expecting regular french toast.

So, sorry for the boring blog that's mostly about food. Blame my instant oatmeal for making me hungrier, I guess.

My Truck

I'm finally getting my truck repaired for damages that occurred a year ago. For some odd reason, I thought it'd be a good idea to drive into the side of a mountain. A whole year later, I finally decided it was time I'd get my truck repaired. Sure, the truck was drivable, but now I can drive it without it shaking out of control if I go over 30 (I hope).
So there's my uninteresting news on my truck.
Oh, also, it has eggs on it.
My roommates and I thought it would be a good idea to throw away the old eggs we found in our fridge by throwing it off our balcony into the dumpster. Unfortunately we couldn't throw that far. And oddly enough, all three of us had coincidentally parked right next to the dumpster. Since we didn't learn our lesson, all three of us continued to throw those eggs until there were none left. They all landed on our cars. That was fun.

Feel the Love

We just witnessed a 243 day lull in our blogging duties. (Thank you, timeanddate.com.) That's a brand new record!

So what's happened on my end in the 7+ months since then?

• I got older
• ...

Yeah, it's starting to come back to me as to why I stopped blogging.

Seriously though, there have been a few cool things. I got to see Weird Al in concert with Jon, Sam, and some family, which was really neat. He even sang a few songs not on any of his albums, such as We All Have Cell Phones, So C'Mon Let's Get Real and I'm in Love with the Skipper.

....Okay, so that was only one cool thing, but still it was quite a ride. Oh, I guess I did also go to a Dave and Busters, a sort of Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups, where I finally got to play an arcade machine I've been waiting many years of my life to play, called The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Apparently it is based off of some movie. In retrospect, I'm not sure why I wanted to play it so badly. Wait, now I remember: because shooting dinosaurs is awesome.

In conclusion, the secret to happiness is that you will never find it. You have to make it yourself. At least that is what I was able to gleam from Dan Gilbert from one of those TED talks.

FCC started it the wireless auction

After all the talk the the FCC wireless auction started. I checked the news and there was nothing much going on. The sad news it could take months until we know who got what and what it might mean. I guess these people don't know how to auction.

Perhaps next time I will have something cool to say.

Bring the Blog Back!

I agree with Paul, let's bring the blog back to life! I can post about my life in Virginia, and hopefully my life in California when I move there in about a year. And then my life on Mars. Wish me luck guys!

Back in black

So I don't know. I was talking to Lester and we (Or I) decided we should bring the blog back or give it a try. Who knowns what will happen. I don't know how the title apples to this post but it is a notice we should blog. I guess.
