Computer Carnage

After going to Goodwill Computer Works this weekend (read about it in the McCallum Computer blog) I have had a craving for taking computers apart. This was fulfilled today when we pillaged the school for obsolete computers. We got both a mac and a pc and tore them each a new one. We are creating a display with the stripped parts showing what is toxic in each single part of the computer. It should be pretty cool. Stay posted to see our progress. The teks that applies is 2. (E) use computer technology to record, locate, analyze, present, and exchange information

The Bear Man of Kamchatka

This weekend I watched a feature on animal planet called The Bear Man of Kamchatka. The bear man's belief was that bears were not aggressive at birth and if you cared for them before they thought humans were dangerous, then you could befriend them. This guy had two bears and they were like pet dogs for him. It was nuts. So now my Christmas list is simple. All I want is a bear cub. I will raise it and it will be peaceful, but it will be the ultimate watch dog. I would leave all windows and doors of my house open all the time with expensive things in sight, and just dare people to break in. But who is going to break into a house with a bear in it? No one.
One problem with The Bear Man of Kamchatka is that the show is probably dangerous to many people. People are going to watch it, think they can get along with bears, and then get mauled. I am not foolish enough, but I personally do not have to much faith in the human race, so I bet bear induced deaths have increased ten fold since it was first seen. The tek that applies is 10. (A) describe the importance of codes, laws, standards, or regulations.

Spluch

If you read blogs, read spluch. I debate daily whether or not it is honest, but it never ceases to amaze me. The writing does not even need to be quality, the topics are so far out there, that usually the pictures alone make my day. It is the exact contrast to this blog. Will I usually talk about nothing, I woo you with my wit and control of the English language, spluch uses interesting topics and no more to enhance my day, everyday. If you want to live a full life, I suggest you give it a shot. The tek that applies is 3. (B) use desktop-publishing software to create a newsletter. This is so, because I know my life is like the news to you dear readers. Without the news you will be lost, without me you would be lost as well. That is all for today. Stay classy, dear reader.

A Word to the Wise

A word of advice, if you want to find out about someones character, do not ask them a question that gets the theme of a Disney movie as a response. Asking somebody why it is important to accept everybody or why respect is so important will never get a good answer. Nobody will ever say you should not accept people, even if they don't. They will feed you a theme about how Aladdin was poor and then became king so all people can achieve great things, but they do not really care about accepting anyone. Asking questions about character get answers of all the things we have been told to be, not what we actually are. Now you know the way the world works. Your welcome. The teks that applies is 3. (G) use tool path verification software

College

Today i successfully finished my application to Boston University. Nothing is more stressful and time consuming than applying to college. The flip side, is that nothing is more gratifying and stress reliving then finishing a college application. For all you flustered by something you are doing, just think about the joy that will come when you finish it. Those are Wyatt's whimsical words of the day, and here is the teks wisdom for you, 11. (C) discuss the international effects of the use of computer technology. Continue to keep it real, dear reader. You know I will.

A Case of the Tuesdays

So I usually blog in the last 10 minutes of class, but lately I have not been able to think of what to write about. In the time it takes me to think, I run out of time to write. Please help me, dear reader, give me something to write about. Fuel my writing fire. Ask for anything you want and I will deliver. The tek that applies is 14 (C) identify the financial factors associated with starting and operating computer enterprises.

A Case of the Mondays

I have serious case of the Mondays. I had a lacrosse tournament this weekend and am far to tired to be in school today. This lack of exciting on my part to be here, has thus created this unexciting blog for you, dear reader. I apologize but that is the way it has to be. The tek that applies is 20. (B) If it is Monday, class will be very ineffective. Always.If you are wondering why i don't use real teks, it is because i do not support the teks and I do not feel like they apply to me. However, my teacher does not closely read my blog, so it still looks like I am putting a tek in it. Even on a drowsy Monday, I have still outsmarted the system.
