I couldn’t believe this when I saw it, but Yee’s Job has managed to make an entire V8 Motor out of paper. Yes that’s right paper, not only is it made out of paper but it is fully functioning including a fan, and gearbox. The whole unit is powered by 2 D batteries and a small motor.
Here is a link to Yee’s Job website and some videos from the site 1 2 3
Apparently D.I.Y kits will be released in the near future and will sell for approximately $100 CDN. I don’t know about you, but I really would love to do something like this, I think it would go great in my garage as a nice decorative piece, plus if my echo motor ever goes i’ll have a fine hybrid replacement

Well yesterday I wrote my last physics test of the year before our final. Went fairly well I think, a lot of people complained about having some calculus on it since it’s supposed to be a non calc based course, but meh I think I answered those questions right.
Now all I have to do is write my calculus test and I’m going to be one very happy man.
I’ve been working on some more projects for clients. I installed visual studio 2005 and all I can say is that Microsoft has done a great job improving .Net, especially the localization aspect of it. However that being said the IDE has gotten even more bloated, even on my machine with 1gig of ram I notice it being somewhat sluggish. Other then that I’ve really enjoyed working with the new components, like the Background Worker, which makes creating multithreaded applications a lot simpler then before.
Anyway just a little update on what’s going on, t-minus 31 days till christmas 
YAY!

Well, this week is definetly going to be killer to say the least. I have a physics midterm, calculus midterm, physics lab, Yellow Pages stuff to do and everything.
Sigh, I wish for the days when things were a lot simpler, University is so boring right now, no computer science courses makes life sucky, especially when all you do is math and sciences courses.
I’ve been gearing up for the holiday season, I wound up buying once of those USB snowman
I love it, since it’s the only decoration in my room. There’s nothing like having a glowing snowman that sings to you when you are studying.
