Bungie released an official Halo 3 trailer a few days ago, not that fake that is floating around Google videos with old pre-Halo 1 video. Available in WMV and Quicktime, the video is stunning at the full size Quicktime format. 150MB for only 3 minutes of HD video but it’s sweet. The only sad thing is that I know Halo 3 will be Xbox 360 for at least two years before it comes to PC, since Halo 2 for PC will be just coming out this fall.

MIT, among several other ‘high end’ universities require all students to pass a swimming test of four laps in their pool in order to graduate. Swimming, a basic survival skill as viewed by the university, may be the first test many freshmen will fail in a long while. I found this amusing since it would be the first test that I would ace at MIT, if I was to attend that college. Someone that I know at Chaska is going to MIT, which he found out only a few weeks ago, and has been trying to sell off his AP test spots since they won’t do him any good for MIT.

AP Calculus BC will occupy my morning tomorrow as I take the first of four AP tests that I paid to take. This year we supposedly receive a ‘rebate’ of 52 USD per a test since the state gave the district extra funding for those taking the AP test, bring the cost per a test down to about 40 USD, nothing like the 90s when they were free, but that was well before my high school career. This time tomorrow I will be heading down I35 to the Palo Duro Jeeper’s Jamboree. I will return to the ugliest AP test on Monday evening, the Physics B test. Then I will be half way done with the most difficult two weeks of school left, finals won’t be as bad as this is. Don’t plan on receiving any responses to your comments from me until Monday, as I won’t have access to a computer.

Ok so the Firefox Flicks competition is over, some of the enteries were hillarious, such as Wheee! It featured IE, Netscape, Safari, and our favorite, Firefox.
