Since my last post I have done a fair amount of things. I have:

Gone down state for track in the 4 x 8
Been accepted to Wash U
Graduated from High School
Been named an all conference track superstar
Performed for the last time at pillows
Finished Wuthering Heights, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, and Cell
Celebrated my dad's 50th birthday and my brother's 21st
Showed a video to a crowd of 180
Put up a poster of Winston Churchill
Gotten very, very sick (and still am.)
Drawn lots of drawings.(When I get the chance I will upload the drawings.)

Do you see that little part in the top banner where it says (Now Tangible)? Well that same place on the drawings page has text that rotates in and out. I am asking you to email me with ideas for what you would like it to say. Really anything goes so long as it doesn't break the dress code (hardy har.)

So about the new comment system that I was going to install. I realized that with the amount of posts that I have, it would be impossible to monitor all of the comments. I thought that I had disabled all of the comments (and was going to leave them disabled until I felt it was fully functional), but I guess there was one that wasn't disabled, and as a result there are 30 or so viagra adds. If you can read html, why not take a look for yourself. Because of this I decided to get rid of commenting altogether.

I had the drawing on the scanner glass and had pushed scan, when the display read "No Connection to Computer." As soon as I can figure out the scanning problem, I will correct it and then upload the drawings that are remaining in the "queue." I have a four day weekend coming up and will get right to fixing the scanner when that comes. I also have finals tomorrow. Cripes.

There was a spelling error in my last post. See if you can find it.
I am going to be in a play on Friday and Saturday. You should probably come and see it.

I found a physics simulation game online, here. I enjoy making seesaws with it.

# I found these images of somebody who, as far as I can tell, has the a skill that nobody will ever need, except to make these photographs.

So like I said, when the weekend comes, I will fix the scanner and upload more drawings. Hold it in until then.

On account of the recent interest in drawings, I decided to completely redo the drawings page, and am quite pleased with the result. Below each picture is a link to the page so you can send it to your friends (please do). Also, many websites get mad if you hotlink to their images, but I have no problem wth it. The more traffic, the better. Steal my bandwidth. Mmy mouse officially broke and I am using a mouse from my dad's laptop. I am going out later today to go and buy a super mouse (does anybody know if I can find a mouse with a volume control?)

I'll keep making the drawings as long as you keep checking for them. Happy New Year!

I've had that picture open in a tab in my browser for almost a week, reminding me to post it. I've been hooked on Super Mario Galaxy for Wii for the past week or so. It is exactly like Mario 64 for Nintendo 64, except with a little less logic and a little more twirling. Still, it is definitely worth the buy, although the multiplayer is disappointing. In multiplayer, the second player seems to have very little control, and it is basically more like single player mode, but with an extra star thing moving around the screen.

I finished some last minute Christmas shopping today, and so now I can finally relax and do what I want to do...

...which is make a movie. Aaron should be coming over in about 45 minutes, and when he leaves, there will be gold in the form of a tape in my camera. Be sure to keep that in the back of your minds.

I've been drawing more, and next update will contain one of my creations.
Every Christmas time I always get an urge to sit by 93.9 and record just how many times each Christmas song is played. If anybody wants to perform the experiment for me, I'd gladly buy you food for a week (I can make that promise seeing as nobody will take me up on it.) Christmas time changes the playable song list length from about 5,382,057,209,880 songs to 17.

That's all for this time. Merry Christmas.

The Woman with the Tattooed Hands - Atmosphere - Guitar Chords and Tab

Here's a video of it.


Standard Tuning
The chords also translate nicely to the piano.

C#m - 446654
E* - 079900
A - 5776xx
E - 77999x
B - 799877
B* -799800

The tab is a little more complex but sounds a lot better than the simple chord progression
Tabbed out:

Verse:

If you want it in straight chord progressions

The verse goes like this:
C#m E* A E B

And the chorus goes like this:
C#m A E B


Have fun.

I had a pretty cool birthday. Turned 18. Pretty cool indeed.

The server was down for a couple days, which was a little frustrating but now it is fixed. There was a surge of visitors because of the Truth about Santa post. I've been meaning to post a video of our train going around the tree, but haven't gotten around to it. Instead, I give you the video below.



Seeing as it's Christmas time I figure that I should hit you up with a Christmas game that might just get you and your family addicted. Take an attempt at beating my highscore. I am pretty sure that my score is the highest score ever in the recorded history of the internet, as displayed by Google. Christmas will give the site a little break, but there will be updates before and after, just not necessarily on Christmas day.

We have about a month's worth of Maggianos angel hair pasta and meatballs currently at our house. I have been eating it for breakfast and dinner (really) for the past 6 days.

I've been working on some drawings, and when I finalize them they will be loaded up onto the interwebs.

#This gallery of National Geographic pictures is pretty cool. My favorite is the dragonfly.

... Oh, Death of a Salesman....right...

We just went to Tom Thumb and got some train track, and we now have a working HO model train going around and around our Christmas tree. It's actually pretty cool if one is able to consider model trains cool.

#The Most Elastic Man in the World [video]

Someone brought to my attention that in this post I had mixed up the before and after picture. If you were confused by this too, then let me clarify by saying that the amount shown was how much space I had left on my hard drive.

So my North Face coat had some holes in it, and you can apparently send it back to get it repaired for free, which is what I did. I was hoping that it would get sent back quickly, but it did not, and now I am stuck wearing sweaters and a North Face outer shell for the next couple weeks. However, the bright side is that there is snow outside, which is always good around Christmas time. I refuse to celebrate Christmas if there is no snow on the ground.

This year my family decided to actually buy a Christmas tree. We usually just use a fake plastic tree and end up not having to clean up thousands of pine needles on December 26th. Hopefully we'll get to set up the actual tree today (right now it is setting in the garage) and then tomorrow we can decorate it.

I am getting closer to the ultimate goal of \getting a comment system working. If you see random posts with titles like "123," "testing," or anything that seems strange, you can be assured that at that very moment I am working on the comment system (in order to test the system I need to make a new test post.)

I'd like to remind you that the sale in the shop is only through December 10th. Anything ordered after that date will be normal price and will not have guaranteed Christmas arrival, so hurry up and get your gear before time runs out. If you ordered a shirt in November, you will be glad to know that all November orders have been shipped out.

I've recently had a little time and decided to clean up my hard-drive a little. I found a program that was extremely helpful in doing so called Large Files. It automatically finds the largest files on your hard drive, arranges them in decreasing order, and gives a clickable path to these files.

 

So I was able to free up a lot of space and now the computer runs a lot faster.

Update for Monday
I think that we, the internet, should bring "The Robe" back. It has been forgotten. There was a time when a robe signified royalty, grandeur, success, power. Our society has turned it into something that has the same purpose as socks. They both keep you warm. My socks don't omit any power, except the power of stench. I can't go outside in only my socks to get the paper. I can't exude confidence by taking my socks off right before a boxing match and throwing them into a crowd. I am going to be on the cover of Fortune magazine one day, and I will sport a fuzzy white robe.

Great news! A new Dylan Kong movie will come out very soon! All of the scenes have been shot, and because this was a light weekend I managed to edit most of the movie. With a total run-time of slightly less than 8 minutes, it is the longest movie made yet! Want to see it before it's youtubed? It'll be loaded onto the podcast prior to any official release, so subscribe to the podcast for first dibs on viewing it.

As far as content goes, the video is a sort of culinary extravaganza/mockumentary, with many parts that even I don't understand, so don't feel down about yourself if you come to find that you are perplexed after watching...it happens to the best of us.

I threw in a little update over the weekend about the elf dancing because it could not wait until Monday. The comment system is advancing and hopefully soon I will be able to allow you guys to talk back to me on this very same page.
