My left foot feels funny when I walk on it. Perhaps it's defective. (Note: I wrote this on the 5th, and right now it feels just dandy. So I guess it was a false alarm or something)

Sometimes you might find someinteresting stuff in your computer, such as a snake. Never can be too careful I suppose.

I found out I got an A in my discrete math course yesterday, which made my whole semester considering at one point I was worried about just passing the course. I did extremelly well on the mid-term though, and so now with the A I'm exempted from taking the final. And since now I don't have to study for discrete, I can have some fun this weekend :) I went swing dancing last night with some friends and had a blast, going to see Lord of the Rings tonight with another friend, and then going to a Winter Ball tomorrow with some more friends. Lots of dancing, lots of fun!

A professor at the University of Oregon has an interesting idea of using wearable computers to enable ad-hoc wireless communities. He sees crowds as wastes of interactivity, since you may pass by someone unknowingly that has exactly what you need. Essentially you would tell a computer you wear in your clothing that you want to meet someone who can give you a ride home, and if someone passes by who is offering a ride then you can be alerted to this. Or if you think some girl in your class is hot, and she thinks you're hot, then you can be alerted of that too. Interesting possiblities, and yet another way that eventually computers will become such a huge part of normal lives.

Pi is now known to 1.24 trillion places. Cool.
