Today is Sunday, June 14, 2009

Before I forget anything else, I'll just make a quickie post:

While eating lunch at a local In-n-Out, one of my previous school's teacher and counselor sat down beside us. While that was very cool, I didn't say hello since I didn't have either of them as teachers. Oh well. What I did notice that both of them had fairly large and expensive looking digital cameras, most likely Nikon...and they were talking about photography and such. It's really fun to see people you usually only see working in their off-time; it gives you a perspective that says (or, would say for them) "We have lives outside of school, too, you know...". Of course, I already knew that...

I saw Disney Pixar's "UP". I'm not at all a review person, and I'm not going to spoil the plot, but in any case, it was a pretty interesting movie. It wasn't bad, but since it was partially directed at a different age group, I wasn't exactly thrilled by it. In any case, whatever time I spent watching it went fairly well.

In older news, I updated the programming for my rover. It now works faster, using a scanning ultrasonic sensor and stall detection to avoid obstacles. When my sister gives back the camera I'll have a video of that too.

I still need to get that video of the various dancing food items, so wait for that.

Random Edit: I just remembered; anyone hear of the DualSaw? Apparently it's some tool with two blades that rotate in opposite directions. All I have to say about this is, if you have on and you're trapped in a metal box, you're good, unless someone unplugs it. Darn.

What else...Oh. My flashlight died. It was extremely nice, too. Oh well. Maybe I can fix it. I'll keep you updated.

Currently I'm in the process of downloading several (22 episodes in 3 parts each...ugh!) episodes of a certain Anime show for a trip I'm going on. Wish me luck?

On a side note of that, the Anime Expo is going on the beginning of July over at the LA Convention Center. So I'm trying to go to that, along with one of my friends. Wish me more luck?

Huh. This didn't end up quick at all. Oh well.

Have fun with the rest of your day!
