An article by Damn Interesting talks about the theories that German physicist Burkhard Heim proposed that would unite the macrosopic world of Einstein and Relativity and the microsopic world of Quantum Theory. Those ideas could be used to create a propulsion system that would allow for hyperspace travel between two points. The propulsion […]
Paving completed on one section of I-22, but it’ll be a while before it opens to traffic
0 Comments Published January 14th, 2006 in Local Issues, TransportationThe paving work on a section of future I-22 between the Walker/Jefferson County Line and west of US 78 is near completion. Guardrails on the main lanes of the freeway are up also, which was part of the paving contract.
However, it will be a while before this opens to traffic. Two additional segments […]
After yet another disappointment with just meeting a friend of mine from high school, I have decided to just give up in trying to find any new friends or making stronger friendships with the ones that I have.
When I try to talk to someone and ask that person if he/she wants to meet up sometime, […]

Another interesting link from the bowels of my surfing…
Newzingo reads Google news and extracts information tags from the items posted. The more of those items found, the bigger the tag name is displayed in a “cloud” (I know, it does not look like a cloud, but that is what they site authors call it).
If this site would automatically update itself (via AJAX or some self-reloading meta-tags), then it would be more instantaneous, but as it stands Newzingo is a nice visual representation of what the media is reporting.
Another version of this site, Techzingo, monitors Slashdot, Digg.com, The Register for technology-related stories.
This is a dumb link, but I thought it was interesting just how many A’s you can find.
Link: AAAAAAAA!

My Calculus C class has only ten people.. Although a teacher that other people have strugged with is teaching the class, my Calculus class is indeed […]

1 Comment Published January 7th, 2006 in Media/TV/InternetAn interesting issue has been raised concerning the increasing popularity of social-networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace.

Facebook’s privacy policy reveals some disturbing information:
Facebook also collects information about you […]
Today the powers that be over housing let 6-month residents return to the dorms. The event was uneventful for me. After I came in, my roommates arrived later in the afternoon.
We all went to the UAH hockey game against Air Force Academy. We won 6-3.
It is life as usual now for me, […]
