Holy shit!! DOWN!!!


I am so fucking pumped for tomorrow night. This will have been the show I've looked forward to working the most by far.

Yesterday was awesome. I got an opportunity to check out the Military Technologies Conference that was in town this week. I wound up talking to one of the presenters at my Staples job (we printed his business cards) and I expressed interest in attending the conference and he hooked me up with a pass. Sweet! While I was in there I may have secured myself some pretty sick internships for next Spring. One of them is a company that develops autonomous vehicles and is a regular competitor in the DARPA Grand Challenge. That type of AI development is exactly what I want to do once I'm done with school. The other is Microelectronics Development at New Mexico Tech. Not as exciting as AI, but microelectronics is certainly a lucrative field, and something like that would be great experience.

I can't stop listening to the new Naglfar album. If you don't have this gem, I highly recommend you pick it up. Here's Odium Generis Humani for a little teaser.

I've broken ground on my "ticket to grad school" project, which means I won't have very much in the way of free time if I get as obsessed with this as I think I will. I don't want to say much, but it is basically going to be a piece of software which will "learn" different languages. I'm designing it so that I can feed it pieces of literature from different languages so it can examine the nuances of the translation so it gives more authentic translations rather than the literal word-for-word gibberish that AltaVista likes to spit out. Should be fun.

I have an engineering physics test tomorrow I am nervous about. We're studying sinusoidal wave motion and some of the formulas use advanced calculus which I have not taken yet, but for some reason am still accountable for in this class. Wish me luck.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Stay metal!!!
