Mango Smoothies, and Allergy Medicine
update 6/2/2024: this is from an extremely old blog that I wrote three posts on as I migrated from Xanga to Blogger and beyond. All of Xanga is lost, most of Blogger is also lost, but I’m happy to be able to find a couple of these little posts from my high school days.
CURRENTLY:
Reading:
“The Good Life " By: David Matzko McCarthy (This book is Genuine Christianity for the middle class. I usually don’t read these kinds of books because i feel like a lot of times they are very close minded. Pop Christianity is not my thing. But i do enjoy reading all types of different things so i am giving it a shot. Surprisingly so far its not that bad. Hopefully the theme will continue throughout the book)
Listening To:
Basket Case by: Green Day (Well Technically, The sound of the blender making a smoothie at sitwells, but i wanted to have an actual song for this portion of my blog, so i put my iPod on shuffle and this is the first song that it played.)
Last Movie I SAW:
I <3 Huckabees (What an awesome movie. This movie is really deep, and funny. It talks a lot about life. It has a lot of important life lessons that it presents to the viewer in interesting ways. I admit that it got pretty old in the middle of it, but then again i kept on being distracted by my older brother, so that could have also been the case.)

So today i stayed home from school, because i didnt feel well, and i am tired. This year was probably the laziest year of my life. Most students are able to say how many days they have missed in a year. I can not even remember how many days i missed this quarter. I need to fix that, most of the time there isnt really any excuse to miss school, but i just do it because i can. Laziness at its finest. Anyway, i went to the doctor because i didnt feel well all week and it turns out that i have seasonal allergies. How great! I have never had them before but when i got sick all of a sudden i had a hunch that allergies were the culprit and i was right. When i got home from the doctor, i just ate a bunch and watched a movie. It was fun. Then i washed my car and took a shower. Not a very eventful day. I went out and got a haircut, i was worried i thought that they would mess it up. She did a good job i guess its ok. Haircuts just never end up as good as i want them to. Oh well.. I will live Now i am sitting at Sitwells and i should be working on my school work. Or whatever is left of it. Instead i am browsing online. High speed internet is a rarity these days, ever since i got rid of roadrunner so its fun to just be online browsing. Not a very eventful day, at least nothing bad happened and thats always a good thing.

“An absolute bare minimum of interactivity”
I mentioned Atari’s Pong recently, a game often considered to be the first videogame ever. It wasn’t, and as a matter of fact, it was a clone of one of the games from the first home console Magnavox Odyssey, released earlier in 1972: This is a 34-minute vi...

FDR has always been one of my favorite presidents, second maybe to Lincoln. Both were men the establishment assumed were one of them until, to their horror, they governed like they weren't. Both could trash the opposition in one breath and take the moral h...

It is widely accepted that there is an AI bubble in the financial markets at the moment. The moderate opinion is however that LLMs are constantly improving and will eventually take over more and more tasks from humans and increase productivity. But are LLM...
