I am working on a project for my Intro to Java class and it is the perfect example of why Object Oriented Programming is not always the best way to go about things. For this assignment it is basically overkill because the entire system could have been built in little modules with methods doing all the work, there is no need for the abstraction that OOP provides. I will post the code sometime later, so you can see what I mean.

I am still in limbo about what exactly I am going to talk about with the Lubbock Developers and Networking User Group. I told them Web Services with PHP but they said that the topic may be a little advanced for some of the audience… WHA?! Whatever, I’ll dumb it down.

Well, I just got back into Lubbock this morning from a really good Easter break spent with my family and Lyndsay. I went and saw “The Passion of the Christ” and let me just say it has to be one of the greatest movies ever, period. I do not care what anyone says about Mel Gibson, he did an amazing job creating this film and portraying it the way he did. Too much blood?? Only for those who do not live in reality. When someone is whipped or beaten, they bleed, the critics need to realize this. Anyway, it was definitely worth seeing and will be worth buying when it comes out on DVD.

It is going to be a busy and interesting next couple of weeks. I have exams out the wazoo and I have to speak at this month’s Lubbock Developer and Networking User Group about some different topics (mostly PHP and some Java). So that’s my next few weeks in a nutshell.

Well I have been informed by numerous people that I need to update my ‘About’ info. I will update it as soon as possible. I just haven’t had time lately to revamp this site and probably won’t have time for a while.

My Marketing professor spent most of today continuing to prove everything everyone has learned in Economics wrong. The fact that demand is not a function of the supply boggles my mind. He also went over some interesting facts about advertising and whether or not sales are actually effected by advertising campaigns.

I guess the best question he asked was, “Do sales increase with advertising or does advertising increase with sales?”. It is an interesting concept simply because with more sales you have more money to spend on advertising but with advertising you sometimes get more sales. He raised the point that maybe those two things have no relationship whatsoever, or that the relationship between the two is so distant that isn’t noticeable.

Well I finally finished my first article for WebDevReviews.com. You can view the entire article here. I will be finishing up my second review fairly soon and when I finally get this site up and running the way I want I will have some articles/tutorials.
