Hey y'all, I regret to announce that your favorite bloger (me) just lost the "Genius of the week" contest this week, It turns out that the puzzle's letters were separated and spread around throughout the post, I didn't catch it because (and I know this sounds like a lame excuse) some websites letters show up in italics once in awhile, just one letter, like this: blah blah blah. Thusly, I didn't notice the letters show up in the word every now and again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here to see the post.

I'm also a bit disappointed that nothing happened exciting happened today, except that I'm making a movie for school about the history of Chemistry and Chemists. I'm toying with a title perhaps the 5 most influential Chemists in History, or maybe, 400 years of Chemistry in 10 minutes, I'm kind of leaning toward the 5-chemist thing, so I started working on Robert Boyle's allotted 2 minutes today. If you think you have a good Idea for my clip, feel free to comment to this post, your ideas will be welcomed.

Well, that's pretty well all there is, right now, maybe something will come up tomorrow, that will be considered Blog-worthy. See ya' later!

Hey y'all, I got back from my ski trip up on Chrystal Mountain today, I got back at around 5PM I think, give or take a few minutes. I had a great time but there was one hitch; just a while back I bought some skis for $30 at a garage sale (that's a steal by the way, they were K2 brand!) and they came with boots, polls, etc. anyway, I got 'em out for the trip and they looked OK to me. Well, we get up to the lodge, I put my ski boots on and everything, I go to put my boot onto my ski and it doesn’t fit! So we go inside and pay $20 to get them adjusted to my boot. Surprise! "This boot is too big for this ski, you need to have your ski bindings spread apart more", another $40. So we stand around awhile and the fixer-repair-guy says, "oh-man... uh this is goin' to take, like, uh... another 30 to 40 minutes or so, man... I ran into a bit of a problem." so we finally decided to rent skis for $20 (the guy gave us $15 bucks off the regular price of $35 for our trouble, so that was cool) anyway, those of you who have been doing the math now know how much those skis REALLY cost... (Drum roll please)... a grand total of $120 over the course of 6 months... ouch. Who says garage sales are cheap. Still $120 bucks is still really good for a pair of K2s so it wasn't that bad, I suppose. Well before I go I would like to introduce to you my first on-blog video: Powder King.



In case you didn't notice, I mentioned Sam and Matt in the "Special Thanks to" section. I did this because Matt got me started in making home videos in the first place, and Sam gave me the idea of making a ski vid by filming a few videos and putting them on his blog, So... Thanks Guys.

Enjoy the Video!

P.S. Make sure you have the speakers pluged in because music is a major part in this movie.

Hey y'all, I am REALLY excited for several reasons; first, I won the "Genius of the week contest on Sam's blog (that's a link by the way), so now I'm the Genius of the week. Second, I'm going skiing tomorrow at the Christal mountain ski lodge tomorrow! and third, I made yet another Transformer out of Lego, here's the Pictures I promised you yesterday.

This is a picture of all the Vehicles in their "disguised" state.


This Picture is of the vehicles starting to transform. They look a little weird right now, but that's only because they are only half-way done.

All the robots are fully transformed but they are still laying on the ground.

These are the completely transformed vehicles. I hope you are all duly impressed at such engineering marvels as the ones I have created.

Oh-yeah, one more thing, All the snow is gone! completely gone! We were supposed to get more snow last night but instead we got rain (phooey). maybe we'll get some more tomorrow.

P.S. as you have already read above, I am going skiing tomorrow, and so I'll be gone all day, please excuse my laziness if I don't post tomorrow. thank you.

Hey y'all, It snowed last night! only about an inch, but the weather forecast says that there is more snow on the way tonight! here's some pics I took while Mom and I were out on a walk:

this is looking out onto a small patch of woods in a different subdivision than the one I live in.

this is a pond in the already mentioned neighborhood. you can see some ducks out on the ice toward the right.

Close-up shot of said ducks.

It was so cold my head froze!

And then it broke off!!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!

As you can see, I love snow. and all the laughs that come along with it. :-)

Anyway, I should go, I made some transformers out of Lego today, and i want to make some more to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Lego brick. I'll post the pictures of my transformers tomorrow. See ya'
