Golf Team

As we all know many sports were taken away with the title 9 stuff that happend. Because of this, the golf team no longer gets any kind of support from the School. This doesnt bother me because we still play. But what does bother me is that the other week i ordered new clubs through our coach. The clubs never came in because when Titleist recieved the form for the clubs, they were sold out and tried to contact our coach at the school. Titleist then found out that we are not a division 2 school for golf and cancelled our contract with them. There goes my money for the clubs because now i have to pay more for full price or go with another set of clubs.

Kim Peek

I dont know if man people of heard of this man, but he is the smartest man in the world. Kim Peek is mentally handicapped, but he remembers everything. He is known as a savant, one of 50 in the world. He is able to remember 98% of everything he reads hears and sees. I was watching a documentary on him the other day and it was just amazing the amount if information he has kept. He can tell you what your zip code is if you name your town you grew up in or live in now. He can tell you the day you were born on (meaning days of the week). He also knows every leader of every country that ever lived and all there family members and when they ruled and ended there rule. Pretty amazing...

March Madness

I dont understand why people make such a big deal about college basketball. Of course its much better than the NBA but i dont see it being bigger than the NBA Championship like everyone makes it out to be. Dont get me wrong i love to watch basketball and play it, its just all the hype that makes me not want to watch the tourny at all.

500gb

I was just reading on yahoo! that apple has this thing called the time capsule. It holds 500gb of memory and its wireless. This is new to me because i dont think i have ever seen anything over 180gb's. I dont know about most people but i know i would never be able to fill that up in a life time.

The Active Denial System (Crowd Control

So i recently read this topic on yahoo. it was about the active denial system, a crowd control weapon used to dispurse civilians in a fire fight or any other type of situation. It uses a strong electromagnentic pulse to heat whatever it is aimed at. Just like a microwave it heats the water in the skin to around 130degrees, about as hot as sculding water....sounds like fun..
