WoW Break

So I decided to cancel my subscription to World of Warcraft and find something else to do. When a game becomes a source of frustration, it's not good to play it anymore. Life outside of WoW is frustrating enough, so I quit WoW.

now to find something else to do that's still engaging...

Home

It's pretty much official: I'll be going to Tulsa for the summer, back to stay with most of my folks. If anyone wants to give me a job there, that'd be spiffy.

Ninja-invites ^_^

This afternoon I logged into World of Warcraft for a bit before calc and instantly got an invite to go with some guild peoples to an instance I've been wanting to go to. I had calc in 30 mins so I could come, but it still made my day.

Poems inspired by "Nature and Human Values", a freshman class.

NHV:
Makes me cry
I wanna die
I give a sigh
and go to class.



a haiku for NHV:
a bad class for us
engineers aren't writers
as you can see here

A Land Ethic:
this land is your land.
Well actually, just my land.
so get the hell off.



I even wrote a song, probably needs some work, but meh.


NHV:
Verse1

NHV is gay
I just thought I'd say
that I never want to stay
in NHV, no way.


Verse 2

NHV sucks
I just feel like I am stuck
and I don't give a f
'bout what she's saying.

Verse 3

NHV to me
makes me want to burn a tree
and drive an SUV
just for giggles.

Chorus

I hate this class
NHV sucks ass
I just want to pass
and never go again.

Naked CSS Day

Happy naked css day, take the css off your websites, it's the cool thing to do. I did it to mine!

FYI

When programming in ruby (or most other programming languages), please keep in mind that "=" is totally different than "==". In ruby's case, a single "=" assigns a value to a variable while two "=" will check to see if the value on either side is equal.

So if a conditional isn't doing what's expected, check how many "=" there are!
