yeah. i'm still alive.

man, that was one long blogbreak. i thinks it's good for you.

what's up with this new blog. i dont know which way's up!

i havent been doing much these past few weeks. gellin'. you know. actually, i just started construction on my Trebuchet. i have both sides built and i've figured out how to create the most useable 200lb weight. shouldn't be too long now. it should throw a 3lb object about a football field. so that's gonna rock.

i've been put in charge of my school's ASCE student chapter website. it looks pretty lame right now, but with the help of some of my brother's legally aquired programs and his extensive history using them, the site should look pretty sweet come fall (or earlier).

I started my job at TDOT today working in the ITS center. it's pretty sweet. on that first link you can click on any one of those cameras and see what i see on those big screens on the second link (except mine are in real time). i actually work in that room with the wall of TV monitoring traffic and accidents and backups and closures and everything else. then, when something happens, we call the TDOT truck(s) and they go take care of it. and we can see the whole thing on camera. (there are 59 or so cameras all over the nashville interstates; they can look in every direction and have an optical zoom of about 200x.) we also put messages up on the sign you see over the interstate. i feel like i'm working at NASA when i walk in the room. but i'm not. but i also dont have to live in Florida. but i guess that wouldnt be too bad.

dinner time.

if you havent seen Shrek 2, go. it's . . . great.
