DieHard

I saw a Sears van driving down the road today with a magnetic cling attached to the side which stated "Powered by DieHard"... I thought to myself, that's great PR until the van breaks down.

I imagine they carry a few "Powered by Wal-Mart" clings for just such an emergency.

Email post...

And this is my first email based post... Neat!

Mobile Post

This is my first mobile post to blogger. I've never blogged from my phone before... I think it's rather swell.

ONE DAY ONLY: Church with free prayer!

I drove by a church today. It said they're having a Day of Praise which includes free Music, Food, Prayer, Crafts, Singing, and Fun.

That's right, folks, a CHURCH with free prayer. What will we see next?

I'm also impressed that they'll have singing AND music. Usually you don't see to much of that in one spot.

Next you'll tell me they're inviting Christians to attend the event...

School Days

Taking classes that are below your skill level is common for me. It has been common for me for years now. I would argue that I've yet to take a university class that was ABOVE my level. If anything, I may have refined skills I already possessed.

I decided long ago that I would get my associates before I went on to get my bachelors...

I couldn't have made a better decision. Well, better than to get my associates from community college, anyway. The more time I spend at the university level, the more I come to realize that my associates is far more valuable to me than my bachelors.

I not only learned more at community college, but I felt like I was being challenged on a fairly regular basis. I'm not going to say it was hard by any means, but that experience forced me to put forth a level of effort that helped to expand my skill set by leaps and bounds.

I can't wait to be done with this university so that I can move on to rewarding goals...

Brain numbing

So, my Intro to Communication Technology professor has a computer with 512mb of memory and 200mb of hard drive space. Also there are exactly 1000 bytes in a kilobyte...

I'm going to go home and take a drill to my frontal lobe. I swear I could teach this class in my sleep.

[I think I know where he's hiding the 24 extra bytes]

No technology for 24 hours

We had an assignment in class to go without communication technology for 24 hours. For many people this is easy, for me it's impossible. I would literally have to quit my job and drop out of school to accomplish this task...

This girl in my class on the other hand... She made a point of raising her hand and telling the teacher that she accomplished this assignment by simply waiting for a time period when she couldn't use her cellphone or the internet (while she was at work) and did the assignment at that time.

How the fuck is that constructive? Not only was that not in the spirit of the assignment, it was completely uninteresting to the rest of the class. To add to this obnoxious story of "I didn't use the technology when I couldn't use it...." she repeated the story 3 times. This is mostly the professor's fault for saying he didn't understand several times...

And now I'm going to try to pay attention again...

What? I'm serious... kinda.
