This weekend was sort of crazy. I was volunteered to help at a barmitzvah and ended up sitting next to Congressman (Or should I say Sir?) McDermott. On the way home I stopped at a Geocaching event and got to use the “Colorado” made by Garmin and snagged a geocoin that was being given away. Afterwards I met a guy who let me use his XO Laptop (used in the OLPC project). That night I went to Twisted Flicks with friends and went home. I was also able to decorate my science notebook with an image thats been sitting on my computer for awhile. I used a new process that’ll be helpful for future projects.

Look what came out on wikileaks. Some kind of nuclear accident in ‘95 that got suppressed. The reactor’s bein’ restarted this year so some people are a little worried. Heres the actual footage taken after the accident with english subs.

So, apparently there’s this spy satellite falling from the the sky and it is potentially poisonous, or carrying the andromeda strain or whatever. Supposedly a “Lacrosse” class satellite about the size of Hubble and on a classified orbit (discovered by amateur astronomers) and knowledge of the potential crash zone is also classified (read as unknown). Ready for the Cloverfield crash yet?

What Causes Diseases? Turns out everything. A product of my crazy biology class. The only thing we forgot is aliens, TV and bipartisan politics. Then, in English class our substitute had us respond to a question about leadership and heroism on my teachers online forum. Then this wormhole opened up and created a microcosm of the internet resulting in spamming by unknown parties. I’ve removed the 150 pages of blank lines that someone added in one of the posts. All I can assume is that someone from another class knew we were using the message board (which lacks all but the most basic spam proofing) and started posting with our names since some of the people who posted didn’t even have a computer.

Happy Deep Day everyone. Or Trieste day, or ’scaph day, or Challenger Deep day, or just the general anniversary of the exploration of the Mariana Trench. Would that be considered an un-summiting? Anyway Donald Walsh and Jacques Piccard went to hell and back and lived to tell the story. Shame we haven’t been back in 48 years. You can always learn more here.

What am I up to now? It’s my first ever music video. Might take a while though. I’ll thank Noah in advance for helping me film it, now everyone thinks were both terrorists for filming through barbed wire fences and looking closely at cellphone antennas and electric pylons.

Look, they finally came out with a reasonable hydrogen fuel cell phone.
Oh, great, Bush has one now? Wonder what he’s doing.

I ended up using a photo of Noah for a photoshop project at school. I’ve got a print of it that I can give ya’ Noah, probably this weekend. For now, here’s the digital edition.

Well, the Messenger probe finally got some pictures of Mercury, stuff we haven’t seen before. You can check up on the mission here, on it’s NASA page.

This is a shorted version of what happened at the JSA’s Seattle student caucus. You can see the long version that gives equal representation of the candidates here, on blip.tv. Click here for high quality photos.
