Day 3 of boredom

You would never know that I was here alone in Phoenix with over 3 million in the metropolis, but I am. Ang and Jovin decided last Monday to take a homesickness trip back to Utah for 3 weeks. If you are in Utah and would like to see them, give her a call, that's why they went! Anyway...

I have a list of things that I would like to learn eventually, whether by taking a class or just messing around and figuring things out. This list includes programs such as Final Cut, Live Type, Dream Weaver, Flash, xCode (Cocoa), HTML, Java. With those, I would then be able to do some of the projects that I have in mind (and on a list) such as creating a Deal or No Deal widget, and a DVD/slideshow of gospel things for Jovin.

I love technology, the things that computers can do now are incredible. And I would love to be able to do at least some of it... But finding the time to do it, I have not had. Also, I am enjoying my self chosen career path in Mech Eng, so it's not that I want out of that or anything.

Since I have a little free time on my hands, I have decided to start on my list. Just for fun, I figured out how to make an animated GIF (which was surprisingly simple, I guess I am just a little slow!) Anyway, to change topics, my hair is the longest that it has ever been I think. So lets have a poll:

How long do you think it is by now?

I know the pictures are a little blurry, and the color isn't great. Ang took the camera so I used my video camera and created stills from the video of me spinning on a chair. Sure I could have just posted the video, but I already know how to do that!

Ok, so I lied... it's not the longest that I have ever had it. Let's say, it's the longest I have had it since 1999. I guess I will have to keep growing it for a while still if I am going to break my record. Still, it's fun to think that for the first time in my life I am doing both the "mullet" and "mop-top" (two doo's that I sported in my youth). Together they form the well renouned "hobbit hair". I love it!

Good for you, Cory! You go, guy! I am sure you can learn those projects that you had in mind. What fun! Ain't technology grand!

I'm gonna guess: 2 inches curled and 6 pulled straight. But you are too tall to be a hobbit. The kid I hometeach told me "You are really tall for a 30-year-old!".

And I know what you mean about wishing for more time. Java's not too hard - you can google up some simple howto's like http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
