By Nick | Published: 02.12.2009
More presentations today. One group mentioned that, “the T-Rex probably used it’s hands to grasp at meat and hook on to prey.” The teacher broke into their presenting, “No. A 50 foot dinosaur with 2 feet long hands does not use them for anything! Where did you hear that? What paper, published where, by what [...]

My CS Advisor Was Murdered

By Nick | Published: 30.11.2009
Happened yesterday. If that isn’t strange enough, it was by his estranged wife. He didn’t seem like the type to have an estranged wife, but what do I know… (Good thing I got my advising done last week.)

How Do You People Manage to Breathe?

By Nick | Published: 30.11.2009
Today was the first day of three that some 20 groups are going to present on some topic in Geology. We have a 50 minute class, the presentations are “supposed” to be at least 10 minutes, so in theory 5 presentations per class period, 15 presentations total. Not nearly enough time. However, he wants some [...]

Judge Jones and I Are Tight.

By Nick | Published: 29.10.2009
I went to that event I was talking about eons ago, at SMU. It was a 45 minute drive, but it was well worth it. All I really wanted was this: You know, my head used to be really big when I was little. It looks really small in that photo. Especially when compared to [...]

Calculus Test Today

By Nick | Published: 23.10.2009
In about 5 hours, I have my second midterm. If I can do as good as the first one, I am in good shape. After that, I plan on working on my car and doing anything but homework or studying this weekend.

Judge Jones and IDiots at SMU Today!

By Nick | Published: 24.09.2009
If I can make it, I will get to see Judge Jones III on a panel discussing the impact of the Dover trial. This is all part of a bunch of events happening there. I’ll bring my ID book and see if I can get Judge Jones to sign it with some sly remark. Dembski is apparently [...]

UTA Lends Parking to Stadium

By Nick | Published: 22.08.2009
The new Cowboys stadium has been built, using my tax money for some reason I can’t quite figure out. Now, UTA has decided to cash in on it and lend out some parking during the weekends, when most students are gone. There wasn’t even a vote from the student council, since UTA knew everyone was [...]

Car stolen

By Nick | Published: 22.04.2009
I’ve been civicted! Well, not really. I suppose if I had a note on it that I didn’t pay, it would be civicted. But seriously, someone swiped my car. During the middle of the day, on campus. Thanks UTA, the fond memories keep adding up. It’s a black 2000 Honda Civic Si. It’s also probably in a [...]
