Can you think? If the answer is yes, you might be interested in helping me out with this.

easysorts is a brainstorming community I created for help with an engineering project of mine. Basically we're trying to get a breath of fresh air and come up with new solutions for our problem. Yes we have a machine, but its far form perfect. 

So, for example, the first idea proposed was 'explosions'. It's very open-ended as to how that is to be interpreted. And that's a totally valid solution to our problem. We take brainstorming seriously and by seriously I mean that completely absurd things are allowable (like proposing that President Obama come over and hand sort everything) and awesome. 

Regardless of whether or not you think yourself worthy of helping, I think you are. And I sincerely hope y'all have a look. 

Thanks!

Female!Steampunk!Spirit Tracks Link in his train engineer outfit.

Mamori Anezaki in both summer and winter uniforms.

Personal update thingy:

Good news, my allergies have finally stabilized for the season, well hopefully. This means I can go outside and not have to feel like I can't breath. This is important as I have a three hour art class on Mondays-Thursdays. Well, the classroom is in a building without AC so our only ventilation and relief from the heat is the windows. Having an allergy attack during an art class is kind of not-optimal.

Also good news is that my ASME team* is finally hosting regular meetings for our machine. Yay!

And uh, yeah. Life's doing okay right now.

*For those who don't know, ASME is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Last spring my team won the Student Design Competition for our district and are being paid to attend Internationals in Vancouver, BC, Canada this November.

Oh and before I forget:

Someone shoot me.

I am fucking sick of having constant allergy attacks. I've been bascially having one since 6 pm yesterday and my meds AREN'T HELPING.

Okay, I feel like being nerdy as hell right now so I'm talking math.

Advanced theoretical mathematics that is.

There's this stuff called 'Ring Theory' which is based on the principal of every operation you do, can be undone by preforming opposite operations in reverse order.

For example if I am in a ring and I do this:

1+3 then 4/2 I get 2. I should be able to get 1 again by reversing the operations.

2*2 then 4-3 I get 1.

Now let's try this:

12*0 then 0+4 I get 4. Now watch this:

4-4 then 12/0 I get 12 because I'm in a ring.

So yes, its official. YOU CAN DIVIDE BY ZERO! HA!

So a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to get myself a dressform for my sewing. For those who don't know what those are, its a mannequin that resembles a real person on a 1 to 1 scale. The one I was going to get happens to be adjustable. Now the dressform I wanted was a Dritz Twin Fit Medium. They normally sell for 150-230 bucks depending on the vendor.

Well I didn't exactly have 150 laying around until I talked to my mom and she pointed out something to me. I had savings bonds dating back to 1989 that my grandparents gave me and continue to give me every year. So of course, since its now 2010, there's a good bit of money on those. I cashed two for the dressform.

THEN I discovered Jo Ann's was having a sale on dressforms. The one I wanted was going for 130, which is 20 bucks cheaper than anyone else online (and 90 bucks cheaper than normally offered at Jo Ann's). So I'm all like 'well shit!' and go to buy one online only to discover it's not in stock and they can't sell me one at the sale price. I decided to go to Jo Ann local branch and order one (thus buying it at the sale price, bwaha). The only disadvantage to this is that I have to pick it up from the store when it comes in.

Totally fine by me.

On a different note, a band that was once goth has turned Steam Punk. I'm talking about Abeny Park, they're out of Seatle. Their sound hasn't changed much since their original gothic stuff, but the steam punk airship pirate part of them that's more recent? It is love. I'll have a copy of the CD for listening and DLing up later.

On the other hand I just got to listen to Iron Man (the song) on the library PDA to 'wake up people'. XD

Date: 2010-05-27 09:48 Subject: A very random post Security: Public Tags: anime, manga, one outs, review

In preparation for the fandom20in20 thing I'm doing, I decided to go out and download the entire One Outs manga (view what little of the translation they have online here). Mostly because I just wanted to maximize my references for images to use. Because I make a point not to download videos, I'm kind of stuck having to screen shot the streamed anime if I wanted to use images from there. Oh well, I'll just have to be more creative then.

One Outs is a pretty fascinating sports series as it falls under psychological as well. The main guy, Tokuchi Toua, is a cool, calm, and secretly a very ferocious and cruel gambler. He mind-fucks his opponent, insults them, then mocks them when they lose. Kind of like Hiruma Youichi in many respects (the biggest difference between the two being that Toua doesn't do the batshit insane or the blackmailing bit). If the stuff I read was right, Hiruma was loosely based off of a real person (also named Hiruma) who was a baseball pitcher that bleached his hair, gambled, and threw balls no one could hit. I think Toua might have had the same inspiration, so I'm personally taking them to be estranged cousins.

God that'd make an epic fanfiction.

My personal amusement about One Outs is that there are no actual pairings implied in the manga or anime but in the extras of the manga (something that can be arguably cannon), its very apparent that Toua is a drag queen and everyone on his team seems to want to get in his pants. Its kind of cute the way they do it. I'm kind of favoring Toua-Ideguchi myself. Mostly because I find Ideguchi to be a sexy-ass bastard with his beard of awesome. And there's the whole pitcher-catcher thing you could argue too. 

Not to mention, unlike most of the idiots on the team, Ideguchi is actually very intelligent. He's just not devious like Toua is. 

Uh yeah, I'm just babbling about how awesome I find this series. Good story.

Its a snazy flyer I made for ASME. I'm particularly proud of it, but you're welcome to comment and critique it. There's a lot of 'unrealized potential' in the piece as my art teachers would say. It is in my Grandfather's style though, so to me that adds an extra awesome factor.
