I’ve also finally gotten around to ditching GoDaddy.com as the host of my website and the harpojaeger.com domain name.  I’ve never particularly liked their backend and other user tools, and they have some rather sexist and objectifying advertisements that I objected to.  A while back, my dad came across a blog post regarding similar issues, which he passed on to me.  I read it at the time (3/9/09 [and it's been in my Gmail Starred items since then]) and decided to switch, and it’s now done.  I also moved renaissanceboy.org over from directNIC, for simplicity’s sake (it redirects here).  I’ve opted to use BlueHost, which is completely awesome so far.  The backend is way better than GoDaddy’s (none of that ASP-and-glitzy-web-2.0 junk) and as an added benefit they don’t rely on sex to sell their products (there’s much more where that one came from).  It’s also a completely reasonable price – slightly more than what I was paying before, but totally worth it so far.

Another project I’m hoping to take on this summer is a total redesign of this site.  I’m thinking of writing my own WordPress theme from the ground up, which should be a pretty interesting project.

And now, for the homework.

We have an ultimate tournament on Saturday at NMH.  We are in the A division, which is cool because it will be really competitive and awesome, but not cool because a lot of our newer players will not get much playing time.  That is a bummer.  I went to the Y tonight and am going again tomorrow, so I will be in excellent shape on Saturday.  I think it is important that I have been exercising regularly when the tournament comes around, so it is not a shock to my muscles to suddenly be doing work.  I had an awesome workout tonight and am looking forward to another tomorrow.  And now, sleep beckons.

So:

Three holes, with a radius of one-and-a-half feet, and a depth of three feet.

πr²h = π(1.5)²1.5

3π/2 ft.³ dirt per hole.

Thirty dollars for three holes is ten dollars per hole.

10/(3π/2)=20/(3π) $/ft.³ dirt ≅ 2.122065907891938 $/ft.³ dirt.

I bought David Byrne’s new album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today online.  So far, it is pretty awesome.  I wish I had noticed the option to buy it in FLAC as well as MP3, seemingly for no extra charge, but I didn’t.  Oh well.  I did buy the vinyl package, so in a few days I will receive the album on vinyl, which is going to be great.

Chinese food approaches.  As does bimetallism.

I had planned my whole day around going to the Y in the morning, then work, then a mock trial meeting.  But it turns out that the Y is closed, work is closed, and the meeting is not happening.  It looks as though I will be going up to Ashfield to dig some holes in the morning.  Then I will do homework before meeting with a friend to work on our honors project.

Recently I have been doing a lot of thinking about what the purpose of blogging is.  I am still not sure.  I know that I find it interesting because of the potential to act as both an extroverted and introverted journal simultaneously, but there is a lot of other potential, and a lot of other considerations.  For instance, does one target the entries towards other people, or should it be more of a picture of what the author is thinking?  Are they mutually exclusive?  Ultimately I don’t think they are, but there’s a fine line between revealing your thoughts and acting like other people don’t exist.

I think I will probably write some more about this topic in the future.

I discovered a fabulous article on the BBC.  My first name is Rafael.

Today I went to Costco in the morning to pick up my new glasses, which are very subtle.  Then I worked from 12-4.  Now I am home.  My family is on their way back from a show at my school (M. Butterfly [which I was REALLY bummed to miss (they sold out of tickets to last night's show [we got tickets to the matinee today (which I couldn't go to [because I was at work (but last night my friend told me that there were in fact seats available at last night's show [so I could have gone (which makes me pretty angry)])])])]), and we are going to go to dinner at our friends’ house in Conway.  I have not seen this family for a long time, so I am looking forward to it immensely.

As I got my requisite slice of pizza for lunch it occurred to me that I have been eating junk food all day.  I had pie when I woke up, a hot dog at Costco, and then pizza for lunch.

Pizzazz (Gonna Give It To Ya!) is a video made by two of my coworkers when they were in college.  It is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.

We are having a Mock Trial meeting at my house tomorrow.  I will be bedinnering the team.  Pesto.

Over and out.
