7-1

Remember that time OSU came to town?
Remember that time we went to Iowa City?
Next up: Boiler Up! Boiler Up! Boiler Up! I wish my team's mascot was a something cool like a train. Surely there is room in the Big Ten for two Victorian-era railroad locomotives, yes? Fine, how about something invented in 1848? Get on your feet fans, it's time for some Wisconsin Dental Chair's football! I'm kidding of course, I think it's completely appropriate to name your mascot after something your school excels in, Engineering in Purdue's case. In Wisconsin's case... I'd say we have a pretty good engineering school too, but here we are again with similar motives. I guess we'll be the bigger man and claim something else... beer.

I actually like this video, looks like they have some pretty cool traditions.

The summer months have given me more time to enjoy video games, namely Team Fortress 2. It's been a while since I've played regularly, and a lot has changed. I was messing around with the built-in recorder and came up with some footage.



This video took me much longer than I expected, here's why:
1. The old version of windows movie maker (which I was used to) rendered the final project to look like this.
2. The newer windows live movie maker has even fewer video FX features than before, so I couldn't do everything I wanted, like speeding up or slowing down a section (but it did render correctly).
3. Almost every free video editor on the internet sucks.
4. When I did find a free editor that I thought would work, it put an awesome watermark over the final video for one minute.
5. I finally finished using the trial version of Sony Vegas 9. It only costs $600, so if you need a birthday idea...

NO BIG WOOP

Another spring break at home. Somethings never change. Like my basketball skills.

But that's all about to change. Let me guide you through why:
1. New basketball shoes (And 1's. Bring on the fouls, baby).
2. I've forced myself to use my left hand -- shooting percentages have gone down dramatically, but I have developed a wicked crossover.
3. I've been practicing my around-the-back layup all afternoon. I'm basically a white John Wall.
4. I've acquired a fantastic basketball mentor, check him out. He makes my apples taste so mealy.
