Not a creature was stirring (because there was no coffee)

The night before my robotics midterm and I should be worried. I am not. Not because I don't have a reason to worry. I'm just not worrying. Let's see if I can sleep at all though, that'll be the real test.

I was happy to see that I am going to make more money than short people. I could use it too. I need a kayak. ;-) Some times I think that those studies are just full of crap though. I don't think that your height has to do with how much money you make anymore than this rock keeps away tigers...

One place I DO see computer software moving is being able to process tons and tons of text though text mining. I think that this will be good (and it's a logical step) to be able to find relivate info. Will google do this? Maybe one day.

Today I got an email from one of the ladies that hired me at my last co-op job. She says that there is an opening in January and she'd like to speak to me about it. Yay! ;-)

And in other news... I was happy to see that they made a sequal to a game that I really liked (playing the demo of). I always liked playing Max Payne (even though I never played the full game). I thought that the bullet time was SO cool, and it had a great dark, moody atmosphere to it, similar to Blade Runner. Which is another great movie. I think that it's based on a novel by Philip K. Dick who wrote short stories that the movies Minority Report and Total Recall. His stories are interesting if you get a chance to read them. I think the collection that I have has a forward that says something like "His stories are characterized by protagonists trying to do better, but almost always doing worse". Interesting and make you think kind of stories. I like Sci Fi. ;-)

  1. If it really is true that taller people make more money than shorter people, maybe they need it because they spend all the extra that they earn on things that actually fit them. Like cars that they can sit up straight in, canoe-sized shoes, pants that reach their canoe-sized shoes, beds that their feet don't hang over, bigger doors, taller swing sets (very important)... etc. Deep thoughts I am having tonight... ha ha ha.
