Er, Blog?

I forget about this a lot it seems. So for a small update…

I discovered the world of geocaching over winter break. For any of you who don’t know, which won’t be anyone (since no one reads this), its basically a 21st century treasure hunting game. People hide stuff all around the world, and then post coordinates, or riddles, or something of the sort. Then you go find it. Its a pretty awesome experience. I would highly recommend it. I haven’t tried getting into it at school yet, but that may be because of the temperatures and of course classes. 

I briefly talked about high speed photography projects in the past. Jevin and I have, I think, decided to embark on a pretty large scale project (by Jevin and I, I really mean Jevin).  We’ll see how that goes in the future.

iTunes update/comments

iTunes was apparently update to version 7.5 yesterday. I swiftly updated in expectation of some great new features. Unfortunately smooth scrolling through my library, which I was hoping for, was not included. I guess I have to understand though, such a massive library is hard to scroll through.

 One new feature I have noticed though is that iTunes now warns me before I add a duplicate song to a playlist. This is a great feature! I tend to do this often and then have to delete the duplicates at a later time. What makes this feature so great is that it was something that I didn’t realize I needed, but now that it is there, I don’t know how I lived without it. 

Still working on comments (slowly)…

Re-Discovery / Re-Birth

I have just rediscovered my own blog I believe. I abandoned it at some point a few months ago because all hell broke loose on tumblr’s end. Whatever, its fixed now. I also have a spiffy new theme to boot. 

 I have been thinking about working on multiple projects. The ideas excite me, however I mostly lack the motivation.  We will see how Project: Free E-Mail, Project: Weather Location Aware (WLA), and Project: Fun Activity: take pictures of really fast things (I think I need a better name), work out. The last one has been done by Jevin before (see friend’s links^), I suppose its more of a fun activity than a project…

 edit: I sometimes wish there were comments in here. I understand why there are not, but I still crave the three that I could possibly get…

edit 2: OK. I found a site that does comments for tumblr. Evidently they are developing something (maybe), but for right now I will use these.

edit 3: Apparently these don’t work. I will have to hax around with it later though.
