Update

Greetings.

This is an obligatory post. I am posting an update on everything I have been doing.

I haven't done anything amazing. I printed some stickers, launched a potato gun, and have had other assorted fun.

Oh, and Mr. Miles sent me outside.

Damn you Mr. Miles. I will win, I swear!

Dispatch from the Maker Faire

I have just returned from the Maker Faire, and there is but one word to describe it: awesome. I will try to recount the events as best as I can. After parking, we made our way to the main entrance. Nothing seemed that special about this gathering, but as we walked through the parking lot, we saw a person holding some device in their hand, and a robot trailing behind them. This was my first clue that the Maker Faire was my kind of fair. Then there was the people. We overheard that 45,000 people had attended, twice the amount of the year before. Suddenly, I heard a loud boom and saw a mushroom cloud of fire burst into the air in the distance. That's enough clues for me. The San Mateo fairgrounds are quite large, and every square inch contained a person or an invention, and sometimes both. I was happy to see Sparkfun Electronics there, demoing a picture-frame tetris game. Very neat indeed. We also had some fun on a bicycle pedal powered ferris wheel, and we even saw Justin from Justin.tv!




What else did I miss? There were at least five 3d printers, most notably Fab@Home. One of them even printed things out of sugar! The things it made looked really good, but a sign said "Do not touch" and I assumed they also did not want me to eat it, either. It's not just a nerd event, almost everyone there came as a family. I really reccomend that you go tommorow for the second day, and make sure you get there right at 10:00. Remember the word: Awesome. I would definetley go again next year.

Crusade!!! To piss Gabe off!!



That's right. Free poop in every bite. Shocking.

Gabe sucks.

The Office. Season Finale.

Well, after Kael kind of got me into the office, I watched the season finale. Can't wait to hear what all you guys thought about it at school tommorow.

I thought it was pretty funny. Yeah!

Become A Vegitarian. Now.

I am a vegitarian. And I think you should all consider becoming one yourselves. I know many of you love meat, and I am probably just punching a brick wall trying to change your ways. Just watch this entire video and think about what you do every day when you wolf down a hamburger.

So much for part 2 and 3...

Well, since I showed everyone the Demotivators website (despair.com), I don't think anyone really needs me to post the other sections of the demotivators. If you want to go to the website, wait until you're feeling really good about yourself so you'll lose all your motivation. Also, If anybody knows anyone who is far too motivated, introduce them to this site. Please. And try to say variations of "motivation" and "demotivation" like I have, redundantly and pointlessly.
