  • Four wheeling

    Got back from the in-laws, had a good weekend with the family. It was nice to see people we only get to see a couple times of year. It’s hard to jam a whole year into a few days of fun but we tried nonetheless. Had some fun doing some four–wheeling! Can’t beat that.

    Our Buckeyes gave us quite a scare! I saw that tip go over the middle in the end-zone and all I could do was hold my breath. Phew, that was a close one. I figured we would fall a spot in the rankings but so far the ESPN/USA Today poll (not that I give that poll much creedence) still has us at #6. I love those buckeyes. Can’t wait to have Clarett back. Now that I look at it, the AP Poll feels the same way.

  • The Tribe!

    Man, the Tribe is on a tear! 11-1 is pretty sweet. A lot of people had them down near the middle of the pack of the Central but they are suprising everyone.

    Haven’t done much surfing lately, but I have found a couple cool things, but this (dead link) gets my vote for the biggest bummer of the year. That had to hurt. I always pick up any pennies I see lying around. If some people have their way it won’t do me any good. I figure I’ve picked up a couple of bucks over the past few years on campus. Bending over for a penny is worth it.

    Can’t really think of anything else to post, I’m going to bed.

  • March sadness

    First, my Buckeyes lose in the second round to Missouri. Hey, we kick their butts every year in football. I do dig Quin Snyder’s hair. That’s one snazzy do. So the Buckeyes lose. To make matters worse, Indiana makes it to the big dance. Oh Indiana, how I hate thee, let me count the ways 1, 2, 3, 4… I could go on, but why? My hatred runs deep for the Hoosiers, with or without Mr. Loudmouth. So here’s to Maryland stomping them by about 59 points. Go Terrapins!!

  • March Madness

    We are very proud of our Buckeye basektball team, winners of the Big Ten tournament winning three straight games over Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa in the title game. I still don’t know how the AP pollsters can rank Illinois higher than us, even after we man-handled them twice. The ESPN poll had been doing it, but they finally got it right. We definitely have the toughest bracket, but I think we can do ok, as long as we play how we’ve been playing lately. We have Davidson first, wherever that is.

    Progress is being made on the tunnel diode latch. I finally put a picture of a screen capture of the oscilloscope of my first breadboard latch. Go here (dead link) for the picture. Once I get some more time I will get more info up here. The next step is to use our own tunnel diodes built here at OSU to make a latch. Things are looking good.

  • No title

    The weather here has been crazy. Sunday it was 20 and snowing. Yesterday it was 10 and _freezing_. Now it supposed to get into the 40s today. I wish it would either still be winter or start being spring. None of this wishy-washy stuff.

    I haven’t found too many new cool things online, but if you were wondering how much Mountain Dew would kill you, here is a place to find out (dead link). I need 340+ cans to die. That’s a lot. Okay mister smarty-pants, how smart are you really? Take the Densa quiz (dead link) and find out. Get it? Densa, Mensa…Right.

    The Cleveland Browns are in the mix for trying to get Ricky Williams and Cris Carter. That would be sweet to get either of them. I remember during the draft I said the Browns would be dumb to pick Tim Couch over Williams. Now I’m glad they did, and it would be great if they got Williams to boot.
