Yeah, I think that just about sums it up.

So, over the past few weeks, I've been reading about a couple of different celestial phenomena which, while appearing spherical, are widely thought to be cylinders, viewed end-on. My question to the astrophysics geeks in the house is this: Why would a supernova or a nebula be cylindrical? At the very least, why would supernovae or nebulae be se uniformly cylindrical that we would ASSUME they are, in spite of spherical appearance? I'm embarrassed to say that I have no idea. Conservation of angular momentum?

So I couldn't get the online files for sports resort to work, I took the games that I don't need, traded em in and got sports resort and two of the motion plus things.

Sword fighting is awsome! seriously it's fun.

Next time you guys come over, bring your harddrives, I have like 40 working games now.

Do any of you have a working copy of Super Smash Bro's? or Zelda? I can't get either of those to work.


We should invite a few more to our blog? Patrick / fab or somethin =)

Come, adore Professor Layton & the Eternal Diva trailer

Yeah, I think adoration is not a strong enough word for my feelings regarding Professor Layton.

I think I like either the first one or the blue one. Any will do though. Thanks in advance!

I would love to get my hands on that!!! I will start buying my cards next week... So next week, I will finally start playing with you guys.

Sheldon is right, trains are awesome. Seriously, look at that!

By the way, do you guys know how trains stay on the tracks? The obvious answer is the little flanges on the side, but the real answer is less intuitive, as can be shown by the oxidation present on pretty much all of the aforementioned flanges, and because, were the flanges truly responsible, no train would ever be able to turn. Unlike a car's wheels, a train's are connected with a single, solid axle. So, were the train to encounter a bend, it would just run off the track.

The answer is that train wheels are, in fact, conical! The wheel contacts the rail at only a small area. When it needs to turn, the wheel slides to the left or right, decreasing the circumference per revolution on one wheel, while increasing it on the other. Isn't that interesting?

Well, we finally got a female Azureus for Ben. We never seen Ben call like crazy. He was on it right when he saw her. It was the funniest thing I have seen. Anyway, I really wanted to name her Cassiopeia (Cassie for short) but Ken started laughing. I don't know why. So, should I name her something else... Ben?

Awesome to the nth degree. It's all coming down, Microsoft! We're comin' for ya!

I find it interesting that there's a women's studies department in universities, and not a men's studies. Just imagine how awesome that would be. Like, you'd get to study all sorts of manly stuff like motorcycles and airplanes, hot sauce, facial hair, etc. And that's not to say it would be exclusive to men, either! Women could major in Men's studies to gain a better understanding of the male mind, and help think of ways to make traditionally womanly but potentially very macho things like cooking, organization and child-rearing better. Additionally, they could develop ways for men and women to get along better that are geared more towards the male psychology, rather than the idea that we as animalistic brutes have to change ourselves completely. Truly, it would be a paradigm-shifting endeavor, and a model of intergender cooperation.

BTW, I am of the firm opinion that engineering is the manliest of the sciences, so suck it astrophysics nerds.

Which of you darling computer nerds wants to help me edit some video to put on YouTube? Brenda thinks it will help "Brunopalooza" if there is video of him being awesome. I have some, but it's disjointed & long.I think it's an .avi file.
I've never edited video before and doubt I even have software to do it.

As you all well know, I am indeed going to Japan. I figured it'd be most efficient to as officially what you all want me to bring back in here, as you can just make a comment, and I won't have to remember it.

Don't be embarassed if you want some kind of perverted porn/sex object.

The next "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has a special edition that comes with a pair of working night vision goggles. The less special but still special edition (steel box, art book ect.) costs $80. Who knows how much the extra special edition will cost. This reporter is guessing somewhere in the $250 - $300 range. I want the goggles soo bad.

"Researchers developing the 'Interplanetary Internet' have launched its first permanent node in Space via a payload aboard the International Space Station. The network is based on a new communications protocol called Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN). It will be tested heavily this month, and could give astronauts direct Internet access within a year. The Interplanetary Internet is the brainchild of Vint Cerf ('father of the Internet'), among others. Last year, NASA tested the technology on the Deep Impact spacecraft."

So I took some robitussin PM at like 5, since I've got a bit of a head cold, and MAN! It knocked me RIGHT the fuck out! I didn't think it would be nearly so effective.

Ben just told me that you've hacked your wii =o. If I bring up my wii tommorrow do you think you could do the same for me? Will I need anything?

=D

Dude, so the manager of my new bay has this amazing whiteboard, that you write on, it scrolls to the left (it has the surface of 2 whiteboards), and it has an 8.5"x11" thermal printer to do print screens with.
