I updated my Flickr with some new pictures from hiking today, check them out here if you're interested!
Don't ask me about the formatting on this cause I have no clue what it's doing. This is the first time I've ever uploaded a video on here and I only did it because I couldn't find it online so I just speed edited this clip out in WMM.
Edit:
I shortened it to just his moan and uploaded it to Youtube.

Also, this picture has so much win in it. For those who don't know this is a parody on Battlefield Bad Company 2. It also had an expansion called Vietnam.

Here is a list of the most looked up words on the online webster's dictionary. It's pretty interesting to see which most commonly used words are least understood.
Oh and here's a mildly related comic:
I have my doubts about this. It seems like a bit of a pipe dream, but you never know. Maybe someday this could happen and I'll gladly support it if it does.
I couldn't find any way to embed the video so you'll have to follow the link. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I took some new pictures from an eagle-watching adventure with my family this morning in Essex/Gillette Castle, which you can find here on my Flickr. The eagles were really far away and hard to see, so I took a bunch of pictures of seagulls & stuff insteaddd.
Dear nonexistent valentine,
These are from last year but they still apply. You can see all 3 right here and download them in high quality for use as wallpapers if you're so inclined. I never have been.
In just seventy-two short hours it'll be Valentine's Day, and that means pressure: finding a girlfriend or boyfriend, for one, then figuring out the perfect romantic gift to give them.
We're going to help you with the "perfect romantic gift" part Monday, but first things first: let's bag you a Valentine!
How? With Aperture Science "Classy Romance"-brand Valentine's Day cards. They express a wide variety of today's most popular emotions. And you can print them, on an even wider variety of flat surfaces, from paper to sexy edible paper. Then you can mail them, using a preposterously wide variety of envelopes and stamps.
"Mail?" you're thinking. "Do people still use that?" No. That's why it's so romantic: because if your entire plan to win over your Valentine's heart is sending them an email, why not just text them? In fact, why not just think it, alone, in a restaurant, on Valentine's Day? Maybe your waiter will feel sorry for you and mail you one of these dynamite Valentines.
In Sci-fi we talked about verisimilitude and once Obrien gave us a definition I thought "Oh man, he's talking about technobabble!" Then I couldn't stop thinking about this video.
Ron Moore doesn't like it much cause he's a writer and he thinks Star Trek over does it to the point that sometimes it becomes deus ex machina which isn't so great for the story.
So I've been messing around with Minecraft a lot lately, and I came across these custom game map types called "Escapecraft". Essentially, these custom games are a bunch of obstacles set up by their builders (in a survivor-esc mode) which you can download. In order to progress through to the end, you need a great deal of knowledge in Minecraft (i.e. how to build things, what things can actually be set on fire, etc...)
If you don't get it, say the punchline out loud.
If you still don't get it then you're a little pathetic.
If after realizing your patheticness you still want to know why it's funny then just ask in the comments.
It's a musical about calculus. Might go see it in a couple months during April vacation. I actually heard about this from my math teacher Mr. Mahoney a few weeks ago but I'm getting around to blogging it now.
You can listen to some of the songs and read lyrics here. They're all calculus parodies of other popular songs.
It seems a little shaky at times but that's probably because the distances don't match with the exact rhythm of the song. It's still amazing.
Parker linked me to this. You can read his blog here.
Or I guess if you don't live on the east coast, this isn't what it looks like outside. Check out my Flickr for more photos.
Wow, things here at The Lunch Box have been pretty slow lately. Anyways, I'm just getting the word out that I decided to make a Flickr at some point and I've been uploading a few pictures, at this point most of them are of the snow & stuff outside. I don't really know how to use it and I don't know anyone who does, so I'm not really expecting much action there. But when I become a famous photographer it'll be nice to have a record of my earlier work.
