Hi out there! This is Brian, the weird little brother with the website that I didn’t design (hey, I have to give Ian (our webmaster) the credit he deserves, you know?)
Cool place you got here
Anyway, this window has been open for an hour now and I’ve written pretty much nothing and I’ve got a headache and I just had a long conversation with a very un-happy friend (ah, teenagers, tisk tisk) and… I’ve been listening to the same 6 songs for the past… 3, 4 hours? No wonder I have a headache.
And thus a long and uneventful day comes to a close. I’m so pitiful (–_–)
blah blah BLAH blah blah <BANG!>
(O_O) Brian

Speaking of my dad, he’s involved in trying to keep the local government and industry from rezoning my home county into heavy industrial. Part of that effort is helping the Frederick County Voters with Common Concerns in their fight to stop Shockey Inc. from creating an industrial park out of a local Civil War battlefield. There’s a big meeting on the 12th about it, so Good Luck Dad!

Here’s one more persuasive argument for why everything needs a tail. I always knew cats would make great philosophers.

Well, Patrick sent me an update on the website situation. The other project he works on is the HokieSat, which has a website here, but he’s not the webmaster. Oh well, you can still check it out. If you’re too lazy to read it, here’s the summary:
Bunch of college kids design a satellite to fly in formation with other satellites from other Universities. They throw these satellites out of the space shuddle. The satellites plunge to the earth and burn up. There is much rejoicing.
Actually, the satellites aren’t supposed to plunge to the earth in a ball of flame. They’re supposed to sit in orbit and do cool stuff. But I don’t really know much about aerospace engineering, so the falling to the earth and burning up bit makes more sense to me.
It’s pretty funny, I used to walk up to Pat while he was working on some AOE thing and ask him what he was doing. About three words into the explaination I’d realize that I didn’t understand 80% of what he was saying, so I’d just sit there and nod until he stopped talking. The only comforting part about that is that I can do the same thing to him with computers.

Ok, so I’m just dragging myself into bed when I realize that I’ve put up a bunch of stuff about my brother Patrick without even mentioning my other brother Brian. How’s that for a raw deal? Well, I couldn’t let that go on, so here’s a link to a very cool site Brian works on. The Writing Project has some pretty intense ideas behind it, and I hope he has great luck with it.
I’ll be sending Brian an e-mail to let him know about this blog too, so maybe I can con both of my brothers into using it. Man, then I could get my dad and mom on here, then the dogs, our family cat, then…then…. Uh, sorry. I got a little carried away. Definately time for some sleep.

For those of you who want to see my other websites, I offer two alternatives:
My ACM website
and
My old CS Dept. website
There’s actually some material of interest (I said some, not a lot), so feel free to check them out.
