The rain and the weather is so gloomy... It needs to snow NOW!!! And then we can have MASS SNOWBALL FIGHTS on the mall!!! That would be cool. Or laser-tag/paintball fights around campus would be awesome!!

2 more days...

Two more days till we don't have to do this anymore! I mean aw =(... Weird the lights just went off in the hallway... On my floor, the maintenance people installed motion-sensing lights in the hallway, the bathroom, and the lounge. Apparently we're the test floor. I have actually seen nothing wrong with having them in. But the weather is really killing me. I think the weather has affected other people as well.

HTML...

Html is annoying. All the little things make big differences. Typing the tag (a herf) doesn't work. It has to be "href"!!! And with formatting, sometimes you have to do something thats counterintuitive to get the right result... So weird. The people who drive on I-495 are CRAZY!! I had a guy tailgating me at 70MPH... He was basically a foot or two off my back bumper! Crazy guy!... The sad thing is, after he passed me, a mile or two down the freeway. I caught up to him. So dumb. People make these aggressive moves only to be, what, 30 seconds faster... Waste of gas! Oh well, eventually they will get pulled over or hit something.

Detroit...

This is sad. Dodge is getting to desperate... They have to buy another companies car

Dodge EV pictures 1-7
Lotus Europa s
Lotus...Cont.

Tell me those two don't look exactly alike. The big 3 are getting desperate. The only difference between the cars is the fact that the Dodge EV is electric, and the lotus is not. Detroit is asking for $34 billion for the auto-bailout. I hope Detroit uses it wisely. But, in all honesty I think that money should be given to the people. And, then the people could then spend the money on products, which would be profit for companies. This itself would boost the economy, just like the holiday season. However, we would need to boost consumer confidence. Sadly, I don't think this is gonna happen.

Consumerism...

I find Black Friday a useless "holiday". It makes sense if you want to get your Christmas shopping done. But, many people go to stores at 12AM or 4AM to go shopping. Many go for the "discounts". But, from what I've seen from sales catalogs. Not many stores have many discounts. I saw a ps3, normally sold at $399, cost $399 on Black Friday. How much of a discount is it? 0%... Many items that are discounted are only 5% off. The only things that are discounted "reasonably" are clothing. And how big of a craze is this? Well big enough to get killed over it! A worker at Wal-mart was trampled by people lining up for Black Friday. Is a human life worth few dollars in discounts?! Well I leave you with this. The Simpson's making fun of "Mapple" (Apple).

Thanksgiving break... And then some...

Well my break was decent. I had korean BBQ with a family friend on thursday. This was pretty good. You basically got some beef, pork, chicken or shrimp. And they cook it on a propane grill right in front of you. It tasted pretty good. I have been too this restaurant before. However, This time wasn't as good as I remember. But on friday, I went to a friends house and had chinese hot pot. I had so much GOOD food. Much better than what I've had here! =P Well in some cases.

Too lazy to embed it here. But it must be viewed with headphones on, and eyes closed. It is a virtual Barbershop. It shows the real power of the human brain. Just from a stereo audio track. Your brain can "paint a picture" telling you approximately where the person is relative to you! I mean think about it. No, visual clue and yet your brain can tell you where the voice is coming from. Whether it's from the left, right or behind you! Our brain is an amazing organ. Another thing that the brain can do is "remodel" itself. It's called brain plasticity. Your brain is basically, malleable. By repetition, the brain will rework itself to perform a certain task faster. There are cases, where surgeons had to remove half of a patient's brain. And within a few months, the patient could do talk and do anything a normal person would. You would be unable to tell the difference between a normal person and someone who has had half their brain removed. The human brain is amazing!!! Well, that is all i have to say...
