Pretty sure no one saw that coming… maybe they did though. Should I keep going? I already know whether I am or not, so i guess you’ll just have to see.

I’ll be taking a breather soon from my Leadership project (ORACLE) and will be doing some small tweaks to this site. ORACLE is going great, Adam and I have made huge advances in these last couple days but… (and this may surprise you non-computer people) …it’s very strenuous work. Through working with the government and on projects like this and my website, I’ve come to the conclusion that I enjoy programming more than I enjoy engineering. Yeah I know, programming is a type of engineering… SHUT UP, thats not what i’m talking about. What I’m talking about is that it’s easier for me to do because the errors (while annoying and usually very tiny, hard to find mistakes) are a lot easier to fix and you can see results much faster than normal Engineering work. At work today I worked on ORACLE and I’m still ahead of schedule (work, not ORACLE… Adam and I can never be ahead of schedule, because if we’re ahead, we’re not doing enough)

It all comes down to one thing though… computer programming would not get me in space. Ocean and Aerospace Engineering could, which is why that’s my major. Being a (self-proclaimed) good programmer only gives me an advantage over the competition because I can program things to do stuff for me (which i’ve done before, and i’m not talking about robots).

Got off track for a sec… I’m gonna add some features most people won’t see… and a subscription thing so people can subscribe to categories (like TAoDS for instance) and receive an email saying that it’s been updated (maybe including the post… or at least a summary)

The deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth’s rotation — shortening days by a fraction of a second — and caused the planet to wobble on its axis, U.S. scientists said on Tuesday.

…the quake on Sunday caused the planet to spin 3 microseconds, or 3 millionths of a second, faster and to tilt about an inch on its axis…

When I heard that I was really interested. (Naturally cause it has to do with space) But what people don’t know is that this isn’t that unusual. Granted… giant tsunami kills over 120,000 people… but in context of the Earth… Solar and Lunar tides on our planet cause the planet to spin slightly irregularly anyways. It’s just so small it doesn’t effect us.

The news stations on tv really blew it out of proportion though… good marketing trick. ‘Giant Tsunami SPED UP THE EARTH’S ROTATION, SHORTENING OUR DAYS’ I heard that and was like… DAMN THAT’S AWESOME but no… damn media bitches.

See… this is why I get all my news off the internet, tv media sucks.

I think that’s enough for the night, don’t you?
