It’s a gloomy day today. Since waking up, it has done nothing but rain outside. Yesterday was much more pleasant. Daylight savings began today, which next year it’s supposed to change to the great bureaucracy that we American’s call Congress. The entire change is unnecessary and should be boycotted by all Americans, if we were able to resist using the metric system, we can resist the new daylight savings time.
Three swishes of blue, representing the earth, will become the new Weblogs.us logo, or at least for the next few mock-ups that I create. In the Weblogs.us forums we have come to an agreement that the blue swishes logo is generally accepted, even if it needs some refinement (which seems to always happen with time). This means that the new Weblogs.us webpage will have a blue color scheme; I’ve already uploaded two modified versions of my original mockup (Rev 14 and Rev 15) that are visible on the forums, so check them out and either leave me a comment here or help in the creative processes in the forums.

This week has been stressful, from being completely lost during physics; to two tests today what should have been easy became difficult and annoying. Finally it is all over as today was the last day of the quarter for students, only one left in my high school career.
The only non-school/track related activity that I’ve partaken in this week has been trying to get my Motorola RAZR V3c to connect/sync with my computer. Of course since Verizon has Vcast and their music store, they’ve tried to disable computer syncing with my phone. That means I need to hack the firmware to do what I want to do, or try a Bluetooth hack between my dad’s Treo 700w and my RAZR V3c, if it works I should be able to use Bluetooth to transfer content off and onto my RAZR’s memory. Phones when connected via USB should be seen by the OS as a USB mass storage device, such as thumb drive, just as all mp3 players should also.

Today is my birthday, it was a good day. I finally got a cell phone, a nice Motorola RAZR v3c, which I’m already getting software on my computer to exchange information to it via USB. I also received the rest of goodies needed to run my RC10-TC4, including electric motor, and crystal-less, digital 2.4GHz radio. My uncle is also getting me several computers that run at about 1 GHz and higher, plus several hard drives that are 80GB and higher capacity, so I’m defiantly going to make that media center pc, especially after getting approval from the parental unit.

Between working, doing a track fund raiser and trying to do design and code work for the weblogs.us front page I’ve kept myself occupied. I had to run to EP to get my license renewed since it expired tomorrow and they aren’t open Sundays, which the Chaska one isn’t open weekends, which is inconvenient. Since filling up Friday morning I’ve driven 90 something miles, which seems long for some reason.
As it may be expected I haven’t posted a new WoM/MM this week because a lack of time and I think it will become a bi-weekly production since it takes a remarkably long time to make one issue for it. Plus I want to improve my quality of writing in it, meaning I need to focus on a set of criteria that I must form, and evaluate the profiles against.
