First off I thought I would share my thoughts on the drivers in Lubbock. They are horrible!! They drive like every other person on the road has all day to get from one side of Lubbock to the other. When the sign says 45, go at least 40, please!!! When you are making a left turn using the median, don’t slow all the way down while still in the main flow of traffic, it messes up the flow!!!

I have 2 tests on Thursday, one in Economics and the other in Statistics. Both should not be very hard at all considering that they are both Multiple Choice.

Is it just me or do people in Lubbock drive really really slow?? I guess it is because I am from a bigger city and we like to at least go the speed limit! I swear, no one in this town knows that there are signs on the side of the road that tell you how fast to go….

We had a company BBQ and meeting today. We all got these pretty nifty t-shirts, though I am not a big fan of t-shirts (would have rather had a polo type shirt). But it’s ok.

Lauri’s husband is going to take a look at my power steering pump in my truck tomorrow afternoon. I know it has gone completely out because it isn’t making anymore noise and is even harder to turn than it was before. Shouldn’t be too expensive though. I still haven’t gotten a CD player put in and I probably won’t for a while. It isn’t a big priority on my list so I’ll do it when I have the time and money.

I have an economics test and a statistics test this coming Thursday plus I need to keep up with accounting even more than I already am. I am finding the methods that some of these classes use to teach the students are a little insane. For accounting I basically have to do my homework twice. The first time it is on paper and the second time is on the computer… Why not do it all at once you ask? Well basically sitting at my computer desk trying to do math and read problems is not the easist thing in the world to do, especially when you like browsing the internet. Maybe they should just let us turn the homework in on paper. I haven’t talked to anyone that likes doing the homework on the internet, so don’t think it is just me complaining.

Yeah, you heard right, my truck was broken into on Wednesday morning. They took my CD player and ran so the odds of finding them are slim to none.

I already got the glass fixed. A nice guy at the local Ford dealership gave me a piece that he had laying around that fit perfectly. See, there are good people in the world to make up for the wrong doings of others.

Take note, these took effect on Sept. 1
New Texas Laws

Looks like there are a few new laws in place. I thought the cell phone law was going into effect but I guess I was wrong.

For all of you non-“believers” out there of tableless web design, take a look at the CSS Zen Garden. The entire design (and every design on the site) is comprised only of Cascading Style Sheets, text, and images. There are no tables used in any of the designs. This is hopefully what badice.com will look like in the near future.

For those of you who wonder “why should I use CSS instead of tables” well the answer is simple. When Tim Berners-Lee (creator of the WWW) decided to write specs on the whole system he clearly stated that a means to separate content from presentation was needed. Since that time HTML has been corrupted with useless tags like <blink> and others. Designers started using tables to form nice flowing layouts and everything was nice except there was no conformance to standards across all browsers. So basically a site could look amazing in one browser but not even work in another. This is where CSS comes in. It allows designers to totally get rid of tables and completely separate their content from the way they present it.

Tables should only be used for tabular data, duh.

I made it through my accounting quiz with a 100, so I am happy. The professor made it a little easier by giving us a few hints and I’m glad she did.

The weather is getting a little cooler here with temperatures around the 60’s in the morning and mid 70’s in the afternoon. It’s going to be cold soon and for some reason I am not excited…. oh that’s right because cold here = 20 degrees!!!

Well I finally got around to updating the classes page with my new classes for this semester. I am still working on a new design but lately Accounting homework has been taking up most of my time.

Everything other than that is going ok. Statistics doesn’t seem to bad except for the fact that the teacher makes everything seem harder than it really is. My ISQS class is easy as pie but the stupid TA that teaches the lab didn’t tell us that we couldn’t buy the PIN number to login to the test page, so I gotta figure out how to do that… fun stuff.

I thought this was funny. Daily Utah Chronicle. This kid from the Utah Chronicle was in College Station for the Utah vs. A&M game and he wrote down pretty much what he saw in aggieland.

Johnny Cash passed away early this morning from complications from diabetes. It is a sad day indeed. You can read his obituary at http://www.cnn.com

John Ritter from Three’s Company also passed away last night after heart failure. I always enjoyed his acting, especially in Problem Child as the “dad without a clue”.

Take a look at the Special Forces screenshots at AAOTracker Stunning!! A new map, new weapons, new vehicles, can it get any better? I submit that it cannot!! =) I may have to upgrade my video card so that I can get the shadows to look like they do on those screenshots!!
