Continuing

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Yep. Still here. Might make the "Yellow" music video over the weekend or something.

I'm really bored.

Progress

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Today could be defined as simply "progress". Not much else to report. A double chemistry test today, lab due tomorrow.

I'm already starting on my Media Lit semester project -- hopefully, I'll finish the script and record over Christmas. Might get some imaging done over Thanksgiving break. I'm finding that audience interaction is sort of critical to the whole process. If the audience can get a good laugh and interact with the presenter or video, then the presentation will be successful. Obvious as it is, I've never really put forth much effort into it, and mostly because I didn't know how.

I'd like to close this evening by thanking Gordon Freeman for living through the test chamber incident and resonance cascade. Without him, my life would be a hell of a lot more boring.

Half-Life is Ten.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the headline is our story this evening.

Half-Life, one of the greatest games of all time, which single-handedly created one of the greatest video-game series of all time, turns ten today.

Long live the games.

Warning Sign.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Dropped Packets has been made obsolete by Google Notebook, but I won't start using it yet. Perhaps when I feel comfortable letting my parents know about this blog and my other online activities, I'll use it. IE: When I start going to college.

Other notable happenings:

Music video concepts plugging along.
Scholarship research.
Chem test tomorrow.
Google Notebook.
Interview earlier today.
Half-Life at CWAL II.
Hanging out with a friend.
Homework.
Dad in NYC.

This post is a warning sign to take it slow. No, I did not construct this post to...well, maybe I did. I still need to heed the Warning Sign.

v(t) > Infinity

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Things are moving very quickly in my world lately. Tomorrow, all of the school's seniors have to do a mock interview with business professionals. Should be easy, considering that I've done a 13-on-1 interview before.

And that was my first interview ever.

I've, again, two tests this week, and one next week. That AP Calc test I blanked on? 63. Higher than expected, but still not great. Report cards in, and my English teacher loves me.

How expected. :-P

Acceleration, or f''(s(t))

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.

Here we go, staring down another week. I'm still revolving around the Coldplay scene, so here's my latest favorite, defined as contemporary.

To me, anything defined as contemporary is something that's more recent than 1995, and just has that feel.



I'm also working on videos, but more concepts than product at this point. One's mandatory and for Media Lit, which will be done in a Zero Punctuation style video and presented to the class, and the others are music videos for Coldplay songs, centered around good video game footage.

That's right, good footage. The Onion recently ran a story that YouTube was challenging people to come up with a good YouTube video. Pretty funny.
