The real reason I'm posting is just to give a little job news. I recently got my first real job -- as a tutor! Yeah, I'm pretty sure that must come as a shock to a lot of people who know me...lol. I'm tutoring my dad's boss's daughter in Geometry, of the Euclidian variety that is. It's kidna interesting and brings back disturbing childhood memories of those long gone days. Seriously though, it is pretty intereting. After taking AP Calculus, Geometry and Algebra really aren't intimidating at all. Such math classes used to challenge me, but now that's just run of the mill in AP Cal. I do wonder though, will I ever find AP Cal as easy as I find Geometry and Algebra now?

The blog has been updated. In the top their, some may notice a weird picture thingy next to the words "summer break." This is my gamertag. It's basically what I do online via Xbox Live. Kinda interesting stuff, if you're bored - or just really like video games.
By the way, I've been trying to alter the embed tag at the top of the page by hyperlinks and form buttons, but have been unable to manage either. If anyone has any tips, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many of you visit "the blogs" quite often. The question is, have you ever fooled around with RSS/XML feeds? I thought Kristen and Mom would especially like this feature. Basically, you can check new posts on all the blogs from one location. One way is by configuring Google Desktop to show the XML feeds from all the blogs. The second way is by setting up a personalized Google Homepage. Click "Add Content" in the upper right corner of the screen (on your personalized Google Homepage) and in the search box at the bottom of the add content pane, type in the blog address (i.e. http://summerbreak05.blogspot.com/atom.xml) and add a /atom.xml to the end of it. From then on, you will be able to see recently published posts from all the blogs you so desire. Very handy for the avid blogger out there.
Anyway, that's all for tonight. Keep an eye out on the weather and pray for snow (specifically 4-8in. in the Northwestern NC region, close to MA). Everybody have a great night. Last but not least, Congratulations Kristen for the beautiful baby girl. Hope you guys are doing well.

Ok, so now that you know what the programs are, you may ask why these programs are worth getting?
Because, now Google Talk and Gmail will be integrated. You can IM via Google Talk from inside Gmail. In addition to this, all Google Talk conversations will be saved inside Gmail, thus saving hard drive storage, and adding the powerful searching capabilities of google to help find specific conversations. Please keep in mind that these features have not been released yet, but will soon be (two weeks tops). Another plus of Gmail is the fact that is doesn't allow just anyone to sign up. This seems bad, but it prevents spammers from using gmail. If anyone needs an invite Gmail, just tell me and I will be happy to send you an invite. Trust me, even if you are concerned about switching email addresses because everyone knows your old one, its worth switching to Gmail. (Contacts can be imported from Yahoo! Mail, Outlook Express, and anywhere else you might store your contacts).
By the way, if you get a Gmail account or Google Talk, send me your screen name so I can IM you every once in awhile :)
These are perilous times, students being escorted to and from lunch, bathrooms constantly monitored, and the ever-present oppressive stench of uneaten cafeteria food. Yes, I am talking about the new fad of making bomb threats. School has become an over strict camp, one where free will is gone.
For example, I was walking back from a quick “conference” with Mrs. Refveem when I heard a call, the call of my bladder. No teacher was in sight as ducked quickly into the bathroom. I checked over my shoulder several times to make sure that no one had observed my “criminal” action. Amazing how something as simple as going to the bathroom can give one such a feeling of guilt and fear of doing wrong.
After pondering about such hard times, I have reached but one conclusion; this school needs a hero. But who can fill such a need? Ingenuity and strength are both required for such a man. Like lightning from heaven, or perhaps one of Chuck Norris’s lightning fast roundhouse kicks, the answer hit me. MacNorris! Who is MacNorris you might ask? MacNorris just happens to be a hybrid of the most deadly and feared characters of all time. The ingenuity and fast thinking of MacGyver—the deadly roundhouse kick of Chuck Norris.
As I followed this train of thought, I realized that in less than 20 minutes, MacNorris could not only find a bomb in the school, he could also disarm the bomb, find the culprit, roundhouse kick him into submission, and all using only two toothpicks and a roll of duct tape! Even better, since MacNorris has a heart bigger than his muscles—earned from OMNI-gym workout videos—MacNorris would do all this for free. Of course, after MacNorris completed his task, he would get on his horse, give the school a large thumbs-up, and ride off into the sunset.
In all seriousness, times like these do not require a hero, but instead necessitate that the student body should band together in an effort to catch the person (or persons) behind the threats. Wait, what am I talking about? Scratch that; I just hope I get the chance to tell my grandchildren about the time the legendary MacNorris saved the school from imminent destruction—using primarily no. 2 lead pencils and a dry erase markerEdit...

My name is Adam. I have been blogging sporadically since 2005 and have always enjoyed the connectedness of it. I'm preparing to serve a full time, 2 year mission for my Church. I work at a Real Estate company as a catch-all IT guy. I love watching movies, I don't read a ton of books but when I start one I can't put it down until I finish. More to come!
