classnotes the lazy way... haha...

tonight should be good, only reading and a paper. :)

test night = old picture

to date this, its from this year's first snowfall; i got it from my old cell phone.

the ece290 test tonight actually felt okay.
i didn't get to start the last page, but i think i got the rest of it right.
if i'm not mistaken, i might do 2x better than i did on my 210 test last week.
we'll see.

its late though, so goodnight!

oneighty

finally took the time to reallly clean my room; i love it like this

icy expedition to a fun show at oneighty in danville

they have a rock wall, pool, airhockey, xbox, and guitar hero. and, oh yeah, a stage.

then we went to my house. it was funny, most parents would have said, "the roads are too bad, don't drive to danville with your friends, and don't bring them over to our house, because we won't be there" ... but my dad sent me this text message:

From: Dad
you should stay at our
house we are not going
to be home tonight
Feb 24, 8:41 pm

We listened to this folk-gospel CD my mom had, cooked a dozen eggs and two pizzas, ate lots of ice cream and strawberries, and played with my kid toys in the basement. Keith slept on the couch.

Have a heart, give me a second chance.

Someone likes someone. White street part II. Beh.

43° and Sunny here at the University of Illinois

Our very own Beckman Institute, standing tall and a little dirty in the gorgeous blue sky. I found a new program for handling Canon RAW files... so I brought my camera to class.

I think the barrel distortion goes away if I get a little bit over my minimum 28mm zoom. I'll try that next time. I also see the sky was kinda botched by the JPEG. I'll have to play with different compression settings to alleviate that too. If anybody knows, tell me.

Oh, for those using lower resolution monitors, after you enlarge the pictures, you can right click and select "View Image" to have your browser resize it. [Correction: Only in Firefox. IE users, umm. Download Firefox. Thanks Jeff; you know you and that NEC are the main reasons these are 1600xWhatever anyway.]

I'm le tired

self-portrait. i'm nice and cuddly. no one reads these.

jaundice

well, this is paul, being as dumb as I am... then jeff, doing a spooky-flashlight-story face.

and again, white street. i know i'm going to miss this pretty block next year.

Bad news: took a horrible ece210 test tonight.
Good news: no school tomorrow

if anyone's counting, this means that i only had class 2 days this week.
no break on assignments, however. tuesday and wednesday were snowdays here at uiuc. this is the first time in some 28 years, and we had two in a row... pretty cool.

i dug up an old picture from high school for tonight. from top to bottom: matt jones, ben henshold, and yours truly.

blizzard

this is me, acting very typically. 3-4' snow drift + balcony. what else could I do?

Papa Smurf

i love these guys

ally!!!!!!111111oneoneoneeleven

we are 20 and we look awesome. ally has magic.

djembe

cars are exciting.

insanely fun time at the moose lodge in danville/oakwood last night
lucas travis and scott are hilarious.
my only regret is that 100% of those kids think we are idiots.

i finally bought a djembe, i've wanted one for awhile now.
paul helps break it in.

travie and tay requested a feature photo. i'm glad to oblige.

Tripod at a bar

Well, these are pretty self explanatory.

We think pat is crazy, and Murphy's is wonderful.

Hip-hop awareness weekend brought by far the best "that guy" I have ever witnessed.

He was lovin' it. The last shows why I shouldn't be allowed to layer.

IL Breaks was the next event, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I always knew that reckless improvisional endagerment to personal health was interesting, but wowy!

This fool be Taylor. His "trying it at home" breakdancing picture turned out the best.

As for the shoes, well, I couldn't let YouTube have all the fun.

Finally, Antonio's is the place to be if you are cold, hungry, and itchin' for Idlewild.

Thursday is a relief

these houses are right down my block... it was realllly cold out, or I might have gotten it more level. more later.
