Rocket Launch

Well this was an exciting day. The final for my math class was to launch a rocket. Using math, my group and I had to figure out how high the rocket went, how fast it was going, and the acceleration due to gravity. It was an interesting… but we aced it. We launched 3 rockets, and I got pictures of 2 of them as the engines were igniting. So I put the full-res versions up so you can see the detail. And did I mention it took about an hour of off-roading before we finally came to the spot to launch it.

It's Christmas Time Again

Well since I am feeling holly and jolly this Christmas season, I thought I would do 3 things:

  1. First thing… This is the first blog post since February and the first one since my new redesign. So enjoy.
  2. The second thing is I wanted to share this wonderful Christmas tree background with everyone. Just in case you can’t find the perfect one. Or if you are too lazy to go buy a Christmas tree or just don’t want to then set it as your desktop background and maybe then it will get you in the mood. By the way if you want to download it just click the picture at the top of the post.
  3. Third and last, I put together a PHP and jQuery photo gallery that uses Fancybox. It can easy handle 100′s or 1000′s of images automatically that are in a directory of your choosing. So look forward to that in the coming weeks.

That’s all folks. Merry Christmas.
