I just spent the last 20 minutes writing a post for my blog and
accidentally selected Cancel Message instead of Edit Text.
Man…it was really good too. So instead I’m going to do some thought
images. Think these things and you’ll be able to viualize the post that
is now lost somewhere in the Twisting Nether:

Overwhelemd
Forgot Book
Can’t Write Paper
Bean Burrito
Cafe Latte
Stomach Ache

How was that? Pretty good Metablogging.

Well here I am. Just finished the first Exam. Wasn’t that bad. Would
have better had I done the reading homework and not missed 1.5 classes.

We’re going to be watching a film in here now so I will be bored most
likely. Wish I had brought my iPod.

Tomorrow’s schedule of hell:
730-230 Work
230-300 Drive
300-415 Class
415-600 Paper Writing
600-840 Class
840-930 NOTHING (most likely homework)
930-1030 Biola Info Tech Society (BITS)

The upside to all this is that at this, the first of the BITS meetings,
they will be raffeling off a brand new iPod Nano and a bunch of iTunes
Gift Certificates. I hope I win.

Patch notes for WoW Patch 1.7 noted:

“Moving erratically will longer nullify Onyxia’s Confuse attack.”

Or as I would have put it, “Running around acting confused will no
longer fool Onyxia.”

Marky and I were having a great conversation based around some Beatles Trivia.
The question is, “What was the first Beatles song to use a real person’s name in the lyrics.”

Here is the conversation that ensued.

Mark: so…who was that girl?

Jonathan: who said it was a girl?
Mark: you did

Mark: YES YOU DID!!!!!
Jonathan: no i did not
Mark: HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, an article that strokes my gaming addiction and my interest in strategic management.

Go, figure.

Everyone’s favorite.

I love the sound of thunder. I just do.

Thunder is the sound of the shockwave caused when lightning instantly heats the air around it to up to 30 000 °C (54 000 °F). That super-heated air expands rapidly, then contracts as it cools. The rapid expansion/contraction generates sound waves, making the sound that is called “thunder.”

Because sound and light travel at different speeds through the atmosphere, one can time the interval between them to roughly estimate how far away the bolt of lightning is. The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s (761 mph), while the speed of light is so fast that the lightning is seen only a few microseconds after the event, so the lightning is approximately one kilometre distant for every 3 second interval (one mile for every 5 seconds).

Polytheistic peoples in areas with much thunder, or areas where thunder precedes drought-breaking rain, may postulate a thunder god.

School sucks. Wikipedia rules.
