Today was Friday, August 21, 2009.

Meh. Highschool. Very, troublesome. Educational, but troublesome.


Short-term memory loss isn't very good for blogging. Especially when you can't write things down right away. Ugh. Get ready for non-chronologically organized random events.


Something about chemistry class: we watched a safety video that I saw in 8th grade.


Evan and I had a Nerf gun fight. Mildly boring, but better than nothing. I got the chance to use my ultra-modded Nerf gun, which launches Nerf darts at speeds of up to 80 feet per second! The average is about 60-70, though, without certain add-ons.


I devised a Mythbuster-esque method of determining the speed of objects using a Canon camera set to fast-frame video capture mode (this means it records at 60-fps rather than the normal 30-fps), a portable DVD player connected to the camera (for video analysis, and the fact that the camera's screen is broken), and two pieces of paper with lines spaced at one-inch intervals. It works quite well actually; it gets nice, consistent results.


That's all I can remember right now. I'm really annoyed by that fact, but there's nothing I can do about it.
