Today is Tuesday, July 13th, 2010. (Oh wait it's Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 now)

oh my it's a blog post with no capitals

all the strike through happens when you start writing 5 minutes before midnight

so many of you don't know this, but i actually had homework this summer. boo. so yeah, one of them is for apec, or advanced placement european civilizations with is this really hard class and i'm taking it so that i'm with my friends even though i don't need it for college (and apparently you don't get college credits for it) so yeah

there's this big (5% isn't big, is it?) assignment due on the 30th and i did like 1/56th of it and i only have two days left till my personal deadline. you can all tell how well my plan (which you don't know either, huh...long story short, i was trying to motivate myself to get it done early) worked. luckily i still have 17 16 days to do it and i've actually started so yeah

of course there's the two other ap subjects i have to do, so yeah.

so a few days ago i went over to my friend adam's house and we exchanged information and looked at some stuff. then we discovered how to make an ipod stylus. we discovered how to make an ipod stylus and for all you non-tech people that is a great achievement for people like us. [as a side note: it seems like all our/my awesome developments happen right when i/we are/am out of time...that's a problem...]

anyways i made one with some foil, wire, foam, and a pen. it works, but i assume it gets less reliable with use; maybe we'll/i'll make a revision to increase its useable life.

oh, and something about today yesterday: looks like adam's ipod (and now maybe mine) are being hit with a lagginess-virus (not really a virus) that makes certain actions slow so yeah if you know how to fix it help

oh, so today yesterday when i should've been trying to do apec i hacked an old cordless 12v drill apart and tried to use it with a computer power supply (c-pss). for those of you who don't know, c-pss don't like current spikes; they shut off. not good for a motor that draws many amps to start and many amps to run. so yeah maybe i'll get that to work somehow

there's probably some big project that i have yet to think of but i got parts for it today yesterday (but of course i forgot some stuff so now i have to go back)

i can't think of anything else to put on here. what i do know is that there's something that should be here but isn't. so hopefully it'll get on here next post (whenever that is)

whatever it's past midnight now so i'm going to go brush my teeth and sleep bye now
