3 tests. 2 days. Done. Organic Chem II, Chinese, and Control Systems. Ok so the last one was a "quiz." But we only have 3 of them, and nothing else besides a final, so it's a test. So that load is over.
It really poured today. Besides my lack of sleep, the rain today was nuts. Water was pooling everywhere. I guess it's not really "pooling" anywhere than right? The campus was one big baby pool. Screw laminar flow, the storm drains where getting wrecked. Thankfully, the rain has let up after a few hours of release, and the clouds in the sky look much poofier, and less laden w/ heavy droplets. I'll go for a run once i'm done w/ this post.
Things to note:
1) ATI and nVidia are releasing the HD4890 and the GTS275 shortly, to fill the $250 price point. There are a number of interesting reviews out there, basically the cards are the same, with a slight advantage given to the ATI part because of earlier availability and better performance at 1920x1200 and down.
2) April Fools 2009 included some interesting things, from Usain Bolt pacing the 2009 Boston marathon to upside down youtube. Fun stuff.
3) My gold arrived. Time for a trip to the bank. Mmmm gold cycling. It's good for building credit and rewards points. Buy money and use that money to pay for the money that was bought. Leave the fees to the credit card companies. Oh America and its lack of credit problems.
4) I've been playing with this double pendulum simulator all day. It's such a good distraction and makes fantastic patterns. If you have a few hours to burn, here it is. Don't tell me I didn't warn you.
5) I had a pint of Ben&Jerry's Phish Food last night. It was oh-so-delicious. Let's see, 250 calories/serving of 1/2 cup x 4 servings = 1000 calories in a pint of win. Totally worth it. Chocolate ice cream w/ marshmallow swirl and fudge fish. It's like swedish fish but with more saturated fat. Speaking of saturated fat, I believe the figure is 43% DV of artery clogging goodness. Per serving. Yep, that's 43 x 4 = 172% Sat Fat. Ohhhh yeah. That's the stuff. At least I got my calcium right?
6) Linearization of non-linear state-space problems is really, really quite aweful at 1am. Thought I'd just throw that out there.
