Student of the Quarter!

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

One of the perks of working as “Student Helper” in the education office is that I’m working with/near the assistant directors of academic affairs (I think that’s right). While I was taking my lunch this afternoon, Steve called me over and told me the news that I have been selected for the honor of Student [...]

Downtown from the ground

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Driving home the other day, I noticed it was really nice, so I dug out my camera and took shots out my sunroof at stoplights. Here’s three.

Rails

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I’ve been trying to catch a train on its way by my path back and forth to the parking lot. One of the days last week I was walking past and happened to be able to grab my camera while the train was passing. I took two, but this one is the better one.

I love ads

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

Okay, I admit. I really like to watch advertisements. The new Apple “Get A Mac” ads are some of the funniest and best I’ve seen in a while. These are similar to the Switch ads from a few years ago. The ads star an older guy in a sport jacket as “PC” (probably to [...]

MacBook

Friday, May 19th, 2006

This week Apple released the 13″ Macbook. It is meant to replace both sizes of the iBook (I think) and the 12″ Powerbook. It comes in black and white and the screen resolution is almost exactly what my 15″ Powerbook has. I’m going to be waiting for a while before upgrading though. Two reasons: first, [...]

Blogging Tournament

Monday, May 15th, 2006

The 2nd Annual Blogging Contest (and tournament) is over. I certainly didn’t expect it, but I won the tournament! I only entered the contest because it was a good excuse to be ‘required’ to write something. Thanks to everyone who commented. It was fun. I’ll probably do it again next year (assuming it is run).

Short Weekend Home

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

It has been a short weekend home. I was able to drive out in time for Kevin’s high-school graduation, spend a bit of time with friends and family, and now I have to drive back to Pittsburgh tomorrow. I’m hoping the weather will be nice. At least a little.
I almost have this template for the [...]

Used Lot?

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

Trevor was the last to arrive today for lunch. Kevin greeted him at the door with,
“Welcome to our used car lot! Would you like to buy a car? We can give you a great deal on that red truck…” =)
Here’s what our lot looks like.

All the cars belong to family or are borrowed by family [...]

Missed

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

I didn’t make it to the rehearsal after all. I thought I’d left early enough, but I didn’t arrive in Indy till 6:30pm. Had a couple slow-downs of road construction and such. Plus it was such a dreary day, even with a few spots of sunshine occasionally. Dad and I discussed the order of the [...]

Student Helper

Friday, May 12th, 2006

Well, had the interview yesterday. It seemed to go fine. I remembered something today which I should have mentioned, though. The position is mostly filing, entering stuff in databases, and that sort of thing…so I should have highlighted the filing of drawings I did for Capital. Oh, well. Maybe they noticed it anyway. =) I [...]
