I can't exactly remember the last time I had a weekend like this, so I'm putting this all down on my blog so I won't forget. Earthly Thunder is the "Band" or group of guys I play Rock Band with. We found out that there is a PlayStation 3 experience bus traveling around the country allowing people to compete for prizes. Third Place is a Rock Band set, Second place is Rock Band and a PS3, and

This blog has been sitting lonely for some time, so I figured it was a pretty good time to update it.Quick run down of things that have happened...This year:1.) Moved into a house with a friend of mine from work we'll call BR. It's been working out extremely well -- he and I get along great.2.) Gave up my guitar hero skills to pursue playing drums in Rock Band. We now have four players that

It's been a really long time since I posted anything, so I thought now would be a good time since I have lots of videos to make up for my lack of content. BR bought a house and asked me to be a roommate a while back, and I decided to move in. Here's a few videos of the new digs......Ha! That would require bluetooth to be enabled on my computer so I could pull videos off my cell phone. Since

Last Friday I finally gave up one of the cats in my apartment. It had been two years of constant training and still she preferred carpets to litter boxes. So I gave her one last chance, rented a steam cleaner and cleaned the carpets (7 times in some areas) and kept her locked in the bathroom with her litter box for the entire day. When the floors were finally dry, I let her out and she sniffed

I know that this doesn't really fit in my blog, but I'm willing to overlook that to share this video. Make sure you watch the part about transferring files from the camera to your cellphone seemlessly. In a few short years this may be in your living room...

I got it! My music jukebox finally works. I spent hours figuring out how to put that embedded flash player in my blog. Now that I know what to do, I'll make a step by step list so others can follow in my footsteps (and also so I don't forget).I used a couple of files from iTunes, but because my music isn't labeled very well it was more a random sampling of music. I promise to get something a

So I've been trying to figure out a way to add a cool music player to my blog. I wanted something that I could upload a couple songs to and play embedded in Blogger instead of the "one hit" players Myspace has. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing yet, but you can see that I've been experimenting if there are lots of players in the right pane. I thought it would be really cool to be able to embed

I found that I didn't really like the video widget that comes with the Blogger options. I found this code writer that will make something similar to what you see in the right column now. People can actually choose what they want to see instead of having to refresh to get new videos. Even though the screen is smaller, I think I like this one better. Here's the link if you'd like to have

I got tired of having all of my posts on my first blog and all my cool edits with no posts on the second. So I spent this morning updating everything and merging the two. From now on I can be found here instead of robohood2.blogspot.com. I've been jumping around a lot (confusing everyone with links) but I think this will be the last time. I've also put an interactive video list of things I'm

Peter Parker kicks more butt than all other superheroes combined. Even Superman Euroboy! How can anyone even compare with that movie? Now I will hand it to critics that it seemed a little rushed and chunky at times -- but fitting 3 villians and a couple deaths (yeah, no more spoilers than that) into one movie isn't easy. I think for as many lose ends and plots the director had to work on, the

If only I had $92,000 laying around waiting to be spent. I would probably spend it on this friggin sweet ride. Yeah that's right. It's 100% electric. So if hydrogen cars get 1800 miles per megawatt and this roadster gets 4100 how much would a hybrid get? That sounds like a math problem straight out of my 7th grade algebra class. I might have to geek out and research that one...

The amount of posts I’ve placed up here is pretty pathetic. I’ve been crazy busy in KC and haven’t had a lot of time for prose lately. My birthday was this week. It feels weird to be 25. I used to think that 25 meant being a grown up. It meant you had kids and an 8 to 5 job day in day out until you’re 45. Now that I’m here it feels like I’m still trying to be a kid but being pushed out of

So Sunday I woke up with a start because it sounded like someone was trying to break into the apartment by chucking handfuls of rocks at my windows. When I looked outside I saw hail the size of golf balls raining down on everything - including my new car. Not cool. At that point I wasn't about to run out and risk a concussion, so I sat, watched, and listened as ice balls pelted my car outside.

It's about one in the morning and I'm not even remotely tired. Since J left to St. Louis to party with LNF, things have been a little slow around here. Friday night I decided to go out and get a haircut and treat myself to Chipotle. While I was there N from work wanted to hang out. So I agreed to play pool not realizing the guy was a shark. I should have known I was asking for trouble when

***Warning. Spoiler Alert: If you haven't seen the second season of Lost yet, please do not read this! This contains many details you shouldn't see yet.*** So I was getting an oil change today, and I happened across this very interesting article. I didn't want to tear up the magazine to save it, so I typed up the entire thing so I could post it on my blog. For those that watch Lost on ABC, I

I found this article rather amusing...AKRON, Ohio - If an Ohio lawmaker's proposal becomes state law, Republicans would be barred from being adoptive parents.State Sen. Robert Hagan sent out e-mails to fellow lawmakers late Wednesday night, stating that he intends to "introduce legislation in the near future that would ban households with one or more Republican voters from adopting children or

I found this article very interesting. If a bunch of kids can come up with a 50 mile to the gallon sports car that can go zero to sixty in four seconds...doesn't that kick the pants off current automotive company efforts? And it isn't like the kids are the genius type - they are regular, average, run-of-the-mill, problem teenagers. If it were me, I would patent that design, and then get a big

Today I found out that the position I wanted in Geektopia was not going to be available anymore because they needed more people to work in England. Namely, that would be me. When the big boss man asked how I would like to stay in England for the next six months, I declined due to the fact that I like being in Kansas City, finally having a car, and being close to my family and J. If I would

Check out the Slideroll website and give the program a try - all you have to do is set up an account with a fake email address.

Over Christmas I received a Christmas card from one of my coolest high school teachers. Unexpectedly, she asked how I was doing and asked for me to call her whenever I got the chance. When I did finally call her well into the middle of January (I always finished her assignments late) we ended up talking for almost two hours. Our biggest conversation revolved around books. She wanted to know where

So there hasn't been a whole lot of very exciting stuff happening in Geektopia. I've been answering phones and doing lots of work I am prohibited from talking about. Not too much excitement there.Slauber and Nerd Werd drove out to Kansas City this weekend and had lunch with me and J. It was exciting to actually get out and socialize a bit.

I was forwarded a cartoon today at Geektopia. At first glance this cartoon cracked me up. Bits are single 1's and 0's. Put eight of them together and you have a byte. Get it? Alphabytes? Yeah, I'm a geek. But shortly after I received it, someone at Geektopia sent out an email to read the actual binary code.

For Christmas I recieved a few giftcards for music I've been really wanting to buy for a while. I was listening to the new Relient K CD and this song came on as I was driving out to meet J. It was interesting how much on the mark this song felt. I found the lyrics and decided to post them for everyone.

I've been working in Geektopia's call center answering phones and providing support to people that need help. Being an eternal optimist I do not view the job as "boring" but rather as "relaxing." Many times in my day the phones are dead and there are no alarms going off that I need to fix. So I come home, play X-men legends for a few minutes before I either clean or start making dinner.

We decided we should probably dress up a bit as well. And without further ado, I give you our costumes... ...Doesn't J look amazingly HOT?

So, back in my earlier college days before I started dating J, I dated a girl that we’ll call KM. I thought she was nice enough, we started dating, and everything was great. Then she moved to Alabama for an internship with the Space Center for a semester. I was fine with it and said I’d wait for her to return. Then she took another semester down there. Then she stayed the summer as well. By

Today I went searching around for a new blog template. I keep feeling like Nerdland needs a facelift. However, I can't find one that I like very much. Most of them are too girly or way too overused.

So I found an interesting article on How Stuff Works that people might be interested in. How come the United States is the world's second largest producer of oil and not part of OPEC, the entity that determines how much oil is produced? Is it because we don't actually export any of it? Or is it because of the 11 countries that comprise OPEC, (Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya,

Okay, I'm a major hardware fanatic - so when something like this pops up I can't help but spread the word. Holy cow. How cool is that? If you have a PDA or cell phone, you can plug this in and have an instant keyboard. All you need is a flat surface. Come on guys, you've gotta admit this thing is hella sweet.

I know I would lay off the geek talk for a little while, but I consider this entry more like current events than geek talk. Plus, everyone is interested in PORN. That’s right, I said it. Don’t lie. You like it too. Even the SkiniMax softcore stuff. For those out there that love them some moanin’ groanin’ bumpin’ and grindin’ visuals, you should read this article from the Wired News

So I’m a little overdue for a new post and I’ve got thirty minutes before my lecture starts in Geektopia. Hey, they say we can’t write about the place, but they said nothing about blogging while at work…Looking through my list a few days back I think I’m going to go for the childhood memory. I have a pretty weird personality. J can attest to this. Today in the shower I actually cracked up

Okay, even though I was tagged a LONG while back on The Unpublished Column, I am still going to participate.

I think I hear some people in Nerdland mentioning they’d like a little less geek talk. So I’ll try and take a break from that for a while. I really do apologize for not updating like I should. After my full day in Geektopia (which I can’t blog about according to my contract) I just want to watch TV and play my heroine games. However, that’s not to exciting to blog about either….so. Ummm.

So no one attempted my little scavenger hunt for the coordinates I listed. What’s the matter guys? Afraid of a little google software? Trust me, I usually don’t go crazy over new software because I’m a hardware kinda guy. However, I recently showed Lost and Not Found Google Earth, and she said she might have to install it now. This is my last plug and then I won’t mention it anymore. I mean

Okay, okay. I think everyone had enough of a chance to play. The winner of the third nerd assignment goes out to lost not found even if she didn't use google earth. Here are the entries:Lost Not Found:Imagine yourself growing up in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Then imagine that you are experiencing this beautiful natural habitat but are allergic to anything green. Therefore you

For those of you that know already from J's blog, I have become increasingly addicted to the new Playstation 2 game Destroy All Humans. I know a number of you out there like Grand Theft Auto because you can run around killing people while stealing cars and picking up hookers. Destroy All Humans lets you run around giving people anal probes so you can steal thier brains. Honestly, how can you

Okay, okay. Fine. Some people have sent in pictures without using the new Google Earth software. Even though the nerdy software was the purpose of this assignment, I'll let other pictures slide. However, I decided to reward the ones that try Google Earth with extra credit. The first person to identify all these locations and send me an email wins a fatty prize. I'm not sure what yet, but

God Bless You Google.From the creators of Blogger comes something unbelievable. Remember that you heard it here first folks. With the help of Google Earth Viewer, I have come up with your next NERD ASSIGNMENT!That’s right. You all know you were just waiting around for it. I finally found something cool enough to be a dignified nerd activity. Beware, this one is very addicting. Today’s

Alright everyone, it isn’t everyday that I link to a nerd-worthy video. In fact, I think this might be the first for NerdLand. For everyone that loved the original Nintendo system and all of it monotonic music glory, you absolutely must check this out. This brought back so many memories. (Okay that last statement was a bit of an embellishment – I was a Sega Genesis kid. Yeah, one of those.)

I really hate PowerPoint. During my first training weeks at Geektopia I would estimate that we sit through nearly five hours of straight presentations. Today we hit a high point in which everyone in my training class had to split into groups of five each and do a ten minute presentation. To make the whole experience even more exhilarating every group had the same topic to present on. Doing

I would like to appologize to everyone out there for the extreme lack of posts. With the moving, unpacking, lack of internet, and new job, the blog tended to fall toward the wayside. This is my first week working for the Geektopia Corporation (as I will call it from now on), and tomorrow I recieve a company laptop for my personal use. I'm very excited. Don't worry - more posts and updates to

A few weeks ago I cut the lawn at my house here in Rolla. For those of you that have not seen my house, I have to constantly fight off the invasion of trees growing everywhere. They grow in the hedges, the garden, even the lawn. So a few weeks ago I took a hacksaw to a couple of them getting too big. The entire episode took me an entire day to complete.Fast forward to today. I am mowing the

I have come to believe that part of a person’s nerdiness is inherited. When I am in large groups of people I have the constant desire to retreat to a computer where I know I reign supreme. That whole awkwardness around people would definitely come from my father. When people meet my dad for the first time, they are usually taken aback by the odd things he says, or by the way he acts. He isn’t

Hey guys, I know it has been forever since I have updated my blog. Things in Rolla have been a bit crazy. In the last week alone, this is what I have done:Simulated a campus wide network on the computer and wrote a 20 page development plan for a generic corporation (and aced it)I made a computer simulation of an 8051 microprocessor with a 40 page report (the tiny chip that makes calculators

When talking to J about student reactions to a recent program her students worked on, I mentioned that I thought the audience hadn't liked the performance. Afterall, they just sat there, stared, and clapped. To which J responded:That's typical of an audience at UMR. Show no emotion. We're engineers. We're like the Borg. Muraahaaha.

Math is Sexy has been leading a double life by cleverly posting as “the Ex-Roomie.” She and I both shared the same residence for two years before she moved to obtain a masters in Mathematics down in Arkansas. She was also my boss for the telecounciling sessions on campus. Yes, hundreds of incoming freshman

I have a confession. I do embarrassing things in bed while I’m sleeping. It is even more embarrassing than bed wetting...I talk in my sleep.I’ve always had this problem. Even when I was grade school I talked to anyone in the room while still asleep. There was the time that I dreamed someone had just fired an explosive rocket at my head and I had to duck out of the way. Fearing for my life, I

After trying to post on J’s blog for half an hour, I have come to the conclusion that it is still holding a grudge. J may have forgiven my clumsiness with words, but I think her blog forbade me from the comments section. So I am writing this as a send out to J and all those that were able to post to her most recent entry – the lucky bastards.I lay beside her in bed and watch as my words of

It is time for me and the EIT to square off in a battle of wits. In order to graduate, I am required to take the Engineer-In-Training Test (EIT). Think of it as the Bar exam for engineers.

Yesterday J and I finally returned from our week long trip to Kansas City. We stayed with J's old roommate Mle. After two days of apartment searching and debating, J and I have found the place we both really want to live. We will be living somewhere in the Woods of Walnut Creek in North Kansas City. The place is nestled in 42 acres of woods and is still close to the city. A few of the cool

Thank you stat counter. You make me feel like my blog is so much more interesting. I love to see what people are doing to get themselves stuck in Nerd Land. It is even better to see what they read while they are here. Today, I would like to welcome Rosie O'Donnell to my blog. I actually got traffic from her blog. I don't know how, but I did.

So I am sitting in my class for computer networks today listening to a guest speaker talk about security. I won't bore you with all the encryption stuff, but there was one mind-boggling fact she brought up. If you have 23 or more people in a room, chances are two have the same birthday.I thought, there's no way. But we had 25 people in our lecture so we decided to have a little experiment.

Recently I have led an exceptionally boring life. Right now my day entails completing three design projects before spring break, finding money to visit Kansas City, and looking at apartment magazines.

Hey everyone, this was so cool that I had to pass it on. If you are like me, you are probably interested in who has actually taken the time to link your blog. In the blogging community, this is probably the ultimate complement since it forces the linkee to obsessively check back for new updates. In a way, it makes you family.
