A slate wiped clean

Another week has come and gone. Its white outside from the nightly quarter inch dustings Alfred has been getting. It’s also quite cold out, but that’s due to a rater different phenomena.

Two solitary strings of text; two lines of code standing there mocking my desire to post an entry but not have to write it.

w/e The day I can think words to my screen will indeed be a scary one. The penultimate level of laziness will be obtained.

Ok, um … in other news…
I’m building an autonomous robot for my embedded controllers class. It will follow the left hand wall and avoid stuff put in its path. And by will I mean that it’s not done yet. The hardware is done, but the software isn’t. Not exactly earth shattering, but it’s a cool little robot none the less.

In other other news, I was board. Yep it happened. See in physics this past 2 weeks I’m learning a dumb down version of basic circuits. Stuff like resistance in series and parallel, resistivity of wire and Ohm’s law. It’s all stuff I have been using daily these past 3 semesters. I would have fallen asleep completely if I hadn’t been aroused from my stupor by the funniest explanation of joule heat ever (why electric stuff gets hot when you use it).

That sounds painful. For Superman at least.
Where in the country are you again?

I'm not really sure that superman can feel pain. I would call it amusing. And I currently reside in western NY. Just like I did The last time we met. w/e

Of course Superman can feel pain. You've seen him around Kryptonite, right?

Superman + Kryptonite = -->

Kryptonite? i guess... but lets pretend for the sake of argument that there isn't any kryptonite near by. He was shot in the eye and didn't flinch. How bad could a tree be?
It's fun to tell people that one thing I learned this semester was :

Superman + trees = electricity
(Well technically electron flow, but same diff.)
