We've finally reached assembly language programming in my digital logic class, which is something I've been looking forward to for a long long time. It the lowest level programming you can possibly get, and while it's very nitpicking and tedious, it's still really cool. I love being a geek! :)

And speaking of programming, USA Today has a really interesting article on Digipen, the school for videogame programmers. I had looked into Digipen when I was looking at colleges, but it's not accredited so I figured it was a lot safer bet to get my degree from a "real" university. And if I want to do games, I can always do my grad work on it. Plus 450 students and only 14 females? That's even worse than the male/female ration that I have now. Whenever I get to my discrete math course early so that the class before (some humanities course) is coming out, it's a shock to relieze "Wow, females actually do go to class at UF" since it's like 90%+ male in all my classes. Such are the drawbacks of being a computer engineer.

Here's an article on the inner Einstein that talks a bit about the man behind all those famous equations. He was quite an amzaing person, and his theories were revolutionary at the time which makes him all more the genius. I'd love to be able to come up with new theories of the universe like he did, but there have only been a few men throughout history of his caliber and I most definitly am not one of them. Great article.

Mozilla 1.2.1 has been released, which fixed a bug in 1.2. Once again, a built in pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, and very cool skins make it well worth the download.
