Random Fact: In the "Sonic the Comic" series, Dr. Robotnik, AKA Dr. Eggman, was formerly Dr. Ovi Kintobor, the reverse of "Ivo Robotnik", Dr. Eggman's name. How did he become Eggman? He got fused with a rotten egg. How? Apparently future Sonic travelled back in time to purposely turn the guy evil because his evilness somehow both saves and destroys the world. Somehow.

I gave up on trying to enjoy my weekend for this week.

Random Fact: Comcast is literally so poorly received that they've won an award for being the worst company in existence.

Internet's playing nice for once this school year.

Random Fact: Bronze and Brass have natural antibacterial properties related to the chemistry of their metals, making them ideal for commonly used surfaces such as doorknobs. While they are useful in such cases, jewelry made from such alloys will not grant any sort of mystic powers or boost one's health. Don't forget that. It's not magic, it's SCIENCE!

Random Fact: It's indeed still possible to use a 56k modem to load modern websites. It's just painfully slow.

Now that I'm practically a full quarter into the school year, you can probably tell that I've gotten comfortable by the massive load of productivity that I've pretty much slapped down wherever I've gone.

Somehow, in Angry Birds 2 in the Arena, I beat someone with nearly 100 ranking points more than me.

It’s not the model I ordered. I ordered the k6-233ANR, but instead got the k6-2-450AHX. The difference? The former is compatible with 3.3 volt core and I/O, while the latter I know will die immediately upon powering on from overvolting the 2.4 volt I/O.

Left a “meh” 3-star rating, and now I’m watching Amazon again for some k6-233ANRs for under $10.

We're kinda short on budget at the moment. I've got a little blurb to share about our team's money troubles first, and then the link to donate is at the very bottom.

When it costs several thousand dollars just to charter a bus to a single out-of-state competition, things start to run just a little dry. I mean, sure, we do indeed have sponsors (thanks btw, NASA!), we still are below what we normally would be at in terms of funding for the team.

I own a 1970s Royal 8S 4-function calculator.

It comes in a snazzy leather case and has a very nice brushed aluminum faceplate.

I found Royal's official Youtube channel, with a lowly 22 subscribers.

Can I one-up a 100+ year old company's Youtube account with a joke video?

go read my thought blurbs if you want.

I just posted a new "chapter" today.

Time travel solves everything. Except when it doesn't.

Random Fact: The headphone jack and its cable have literally existed for almost a century, if not more.

Boy, I haven't written this much in a single day for months.

Random Fact: While still quite a bit underpowered compared to many phones and tablets, the Raspberry Pi's third revision is capable of running full Android Nougat.

Seriously, I don't even remember when the last time I did a triple-update was.

Gonna be running the equivalent of a single core (technically single thread) CPU for the rest of the day. I'm already feeling some lag in some programs.

Specs: 550MHz AMD K6-2
512MB RAM
8gb SD card as HDD
Radeon 7500
Sound Blaster AWE32
Asus P5A revision 1.05

When you try so hard but you don't succeed...

Random Fact: Not all motherboards are built the same, even if the CPU physically fits, that doesn't guarantee a working system! I learned this the hard way...

Welp. The CPU upgrade arrived today. I am now the proud owner of a fancy box with a CPU upgrade kit inside. Why? Because the mobo isn't compatible.

Turns out that I overestimated what to expect when it came to the practice SAT. Also, for some reason, even though the universities in my area use the ACT test, the high schools give out practice SAT exams.
