Hi All,
This year I have signed up to participate in a charity known as Extra Life. Extra Life is a charity for Children’s hospitals around the country. In this charity the participants marathon any type of game for 24 hrs and donors are encouraged to donate $1 per hour. A few friends and myself will be marathon my favorite game series, Halo. I would greatly appreciate any donations to help reach my lofty goal of $1,170.00. If you would like to see a themed post for the whole team please read the post written at The Spartan’s Sanctum

Thanks for your time,

Fred

It’s been a “fun” couple weeks. (Vote on a choice at the bottom:P)
Rasputin has finally past his limit. The Jeep’s alternator may be on its way out and that is only one of the current issues (Transmission, suspension, and a few other issues.) This happened on Friday.

The events on Sunday go as follows. Hanging with a friend of mine at his family’s cabin on a lake. Then the lake said something about my mother and I decided to fight it(or maybe I went tubing fell off and landed ear first on the water), sadly I lost and walked away with a ruptured tympanic membrane (ear drum). That was one interesting weekend . Needless to say not much productivity has been happening since.

This is your ear on lake impact.

I was planning on getting a new (to me) Jeep in September, but seeing as I am in need of one much sooner I have been perusing the want ads.

2 questions
A.Wrangler or B. Cherokee?
C.Manual or D.Automatic?

I’m thinking A,C

A great station is closing its doors today, and I will miss it greatly.

WBCN has been the first radio station I turn to when turning on the radio for the past 13 years of my life.

BCN you have introduced me to more music than I can even remember: many great musicians, many decent and interesting musical talents, and thank you for that. I will miss you very much. Currently I am listening to the last 15 minutes of WBCN programming.

Good bye and you will be missed.

EDIT: Also Crash Clark had a great ending show. Thank you for going out with a bang.

My site’s background will be Blue for at the minimum the next week.

The world has lost someone great who could make you excited to watch hair grow or a caterpillar turn into a butterfly in real time. He was always happy and from all account of people who have met him a genuinely good guy.

Great news! Mass High Tech (“The Journal of New England Technology”) wrote an article about me for their Whiz Kids section. Check it out here. Thanks to both the writer (Brendan Lynch)  and the editor (Rodney Brown). This is exciting! They even mentioned several of the graduate schools I am looking into to,  as well as Bungie!  Maybe the mentions of the schools and Bungie will help my prospects of continuing my education as well as the end goal of working for Bungie!

Autographs anyone
