Robots and some news

I walked into my room the other day only to see an epic battle of robotic proportions. What did I see?



Yes, that's right, R2D2 battling a robot lamp in a game of Rock-em-Sock-em Robots. What is the world coming to?!

Ok, and now for the news. I'm discovering that it's very difficult to keep up two blogs as much as I'd like. No, I'm not getting rid of this blog. But, I won't be able to update daily or semi-daily like I used to. With my current course load, activities, and schedule it's just not feasible. I will update though. For better or for worse I will probably be updating my MIT blog more than this one (I mean, I'm being paid to update that one, I need to do my job).

What I'm getting at is that maybe you shouldn't check this blog everyday hoping for an entry. Check once a week or so and you should be pleasantly surprised by an entry or two. Also, if you check the MIT blogs regularly, I've decided to implement a secret code that will let you know if I've made an entry in this blog you should check out.

They way I intend for this to work is for you regular readers to just read my MIT blog and if you see

-:-

at the bottom of the entry it means I've published something in my personal blog recently that you should go check out. That way you only need to read one blog until I let you know that there's something new over here. Of course you can still check this blog and read past entries if you feel like, I'm just cutting down the frequency of new entries.

I know, this is like the equivalent of a restaurant raising its prices, I'm sorry, but I'm not superhuman and can only write so much.

SUCH A GOOD IDEA!

Seriously, do they make these? If so, I need to buy a ton of them!

Who? Update [1]

**UPDATE**

So, this doesn't work anymore :(

It used to translate "Heath Ledger is dead" to "Tom Cruise esta muerto," which is, well, strange.

_____

Sorry about no posts for a while. I'm still trying to figure out this "Two Blog" thing. Give it some time, I'll get back to some kind of system.

You should go to Google Translator:

http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=en|es

And translate "Heath Ledger is dead" from English to Spanish.

Bet you weren't expecting that, eh? Why does this happen?

I was tired last night

First off, thanks for saying hi to Maddie everybody, she says hi back and appreciates it.

Second off, I thought I'd show you evidence of how tired I was last night. After a game of extreme spoons (filmed, currently being edited and set to music) I did some laundry and hopped into bed so I could read about my physics lab I had to do the next day. After finishing my lab I worked on editing one of my MIT blog entries and then the next thing I know I'm awake, looking around, and it's 8:30 in the morning. That's right, I actually fell asleep at my computer.

When I was in bed my I was laying on my back with my computer on my chest, not unlike a techno-savvy otter. When I woke up, my computer was on my desk. I turned it on and was immediately greeted by the "You have about 7 minutes of battery left" warning. When it boots up I am greeted with this screen:



Click it to make it larger. Not only had I fallen asleep at my computer, I had fallen asleep ON my computer. I panicked. I quickly navigated to the MIT blogs to make sure I hadn't accidentally slept on the "Publish" button, but I was safe. I erased all of the extraneous characters from the entry and plugged the computer into the wall. Now it was time to ponder . . . how, if I had fallen asleep on my computer, did it end up closed and on my desk? Did I do it in my sleep or did somebody take it out from under me and put it up there for me?

There is very little point to this blog entry, just something I found interesting this morning.
