My Cousin is so Freaking Awesome Today I went and talked to an adviser in the department advising office, and she told me to take at least one, preferably two hours of independent study this summer to make up the deficit in my ECE GPA. Earlier I had ended the unsuccessful negotiations with my one [...]

Today was a crazy day. Lots of stuff going on. Lots to think about. People leaving, preparing myself to leave too, preparing to get married, and the everyday issues of life. So I decided I would post about some stuff that would hopefully clarify my last post. My friends This hopefully will be fairly insightful [...]
Tonight we had our Minnesota meeting. I usually have a good time even when I feel a little uptight, but particularly tonight I was laid back. So in general I was telling someone…I think maybe Jeff (and I know I told Dirk about this later)…that I’m a little concerned that this might be the next [...]
First round of the coloring of one of my pictures is complete. Check it out. BigCat Hoodie Colored in Photoshop This is just the first round of coloring, I still have to add some quality shading and lighting effects. Also, I’m looking for something that can help me make the skin look more like fur. [...]
I PASSED ALL OF MY CLASSES! How sweet is that. Not only did I pass all of them, I passed with a 2.022 on the semester which means I’m not going back on probation. Of course my cumulative is now down to 2.287, but that is still passing. Unfortunately my ECE GPA slipped to a [...]
So, this summer we are looking to a new time for lunch, at a grand 12:30pm – ish. Legends as usual, 3.99 cheeseburgers. Also you can comment on my blog now. It works where you have to enter a name and an email address, but I haven’t fixed the new TypeKey registration thing. When I [...]
Pat, my good ol’ friend from the booming metropolis of Melvin Illinois, told me that I must post about how he is currently stationed in Korea in the Air Force, and he will be returning to our great US of A on may 25th. And there will be much rejoicing. Also, he is getting married [...]
I just upgraded MovableType to the brand new version. It was susposed to be painless, but of course since I use that silly SQLite for my database, and it doesn’t enjoy adding or removing columns from already created tables, there was no automated update script for me. I’m going to post a file that I [...]
I’m tired. I have finished one of my two finals for today. I haven’t slept for over 24 hours. I think I really screwed up the final I took. I’m fairly confident that I got about a quarter of the points, I’m sure that is going to be below average. I hope I still end [...]
Well, I ran some numbers, and it looks like I’m going to be OK as long as I don’t fail the class I already took my final in. I can get a C- in one of my classes and a C in the other ECE one, and I’m still doing alright. I won’t be on [...]
I found this article a while back on Christianity Today, which I have now taken to reading quite regularly, and thought it was pretty interesting. I mean, I’ve verbalized these very similar sentiments many times, I’ve argued about what it means to “submit” to your husband with people, and this sums up my thoughts pretty [...]
Since Rob has posted up a bunch of stuff, I decided I’d toss up some old stuff that I finally got scanned since Dink moved in with his scanner. The first two links are some pictures I drew in the summer of 2001 while I was working for the state department of public aid. That [...]
I hate finals. They are annoying. I think I might have screwed up pretty bad on the one this morning. And the bummer is that I’m just now getting to sleep when I woke up at 5:30 in da am. Plus in between this early waking and just now sleeping I went to empty tomb [...]
