BYU Defense let us down!

Well there was a great game against TCU today. One of the best I have ever been to. Except that we lost 50-51. We lost because we missed an extra point in over time. How dissapointing. We were up by 18 in the third quarter, but we couldn't stop them. Our defense totally let down. You have to play four quarters. We were down by three with 1:25 left and drove the field to score a field goal to go into overtime. Then on the first play of overtime we scored a touchdown. It was awesome. Then we fumbled the extra point snap and so didn't get the extra point. It was all over from there. Our defense was once again flabby and let them score. It was fun to go to anyway.

What is up....

I really haven't posted in a long time. Seems almost worthless to have a blog. Oh well. I am still insecure about what I post. I should use it as a means to break out and express myself. Whatever.... I will now give a shot at some poetry.

This is me
I am tired
tired of me.
This is me.

Profound huh.

Thoughts on the hurricane.....
Somebody commented in the daily universe how the exodus from Houston is unorganized and we should have learned more from katrina. I think this is kind of ridiculous since katrina was like two weeks ago. I would have to say that on the spot planning for a mass exodus from Houston. Dang that is a lot of people. There should be systems in place for this kind of thing, but I guess we are unprepared. I guess it took the Israelites 40 years to get from Egypt to Cannan. Whatever.

WikiMarkup....
They should make a text editor in here where you can use wiki markup. I guess there are too many markup languages out there now, but since I know mediawiki's markup it would be nice. At least you can use html.

How to get home fast without being bothered by police or other cars. hahahahahaha 

Time for a tirade.....

So today we had to turn in our process paper for English. We were supposed to pick a process, and then explain it. Then the rest of the class judges between you and your groups' papers, and decides which they like the best. I spent all night putting this presentation together about fractals, and it didn't get picked once. Not a big deal, I am just mad that I will get a crappy grade because the rest of the class isn't interested in what I am. I don't think it was an exercise at all in technical writing. It seemed like it was just an exercise in competition. I still don't see a real purpose to it. I wish we could have done something productive that actually would help me improve my writing skills. Anyhow that is how life goes. Have a nice life!

Multiplication

You would be surprised how hard it is to create a fast circuit to multiply two numbers together. Even creating a real fast full adder is difficult. I think is simply amazing how people worked out these algorithms, and were able to implement these circuits. We just designed a multiplier that uses a Rom to look up numbers squared. It was kind of fun to build a rom from the hardware perspective. Anyhow I hope I am not the only one who visits my blog. hahahahaha.

It is late for me

Well I am tired, but I wanted to tell all that I (hopefully) successfully implemented my remove function on my Binary Search Tree. It took awhile, and I am still learning c++, but on and on we go. Well I am going to bed. Good night to myself.

Chaos or Order?

Did you see the cool Fractal. I think the chaos theory is really interesting. I love the idea of taking a bunch of seemingly random points, and having them create a beautiful image full of order. Anyhow I wonder what it all means.........

Cool eh? 

Big Companies

I just went to an info session about Hewlett Packard, and what kind of things they do. I am amazed how huge companies can function on such a large scale level. Their presentations always seem so abstract and visionary. To make it work you really need people who actually create and do things. Although they talk abstractly I am sure they look for those people who can actually turn their ideas in products that they can sell. Anyhow I better get back to my program. Anybody know how to implement a linked list?

Dad's pun of the day!

"That's a terrible cough you've got. Consumption be done about it?"

These are the greatest.

Football Fiasco

Well unfortunately the Patriots won the superbowl. They do have a pretty good team, but I was rooting for Philly the entire time, mostly because they have a lot of x-byu players and coaches. Oh well, I think life will go on. I didn't watch the whole thing however. Elder Russel M. Nelson came a gave a fireside at the Marriot center, so we had the privilege to see that. It was inspiring.

A first attempt

Here is my attemp to joing the blogging community. Life is pretty good. I am going to try to prepare dinner right now, so I will blog later.
