Radical English FAIL

If you are gonna try look awesome by writing in English, at least check what you are writing is correct.

Two days ago, I had a free period after Calculus II, and since I had nothing to do (I really didn't felt like studying) I decided to go for a walk in this little park next to my university, where I found this beautiful cherry tree completely pink.

I'm not the kind of guy that likes to take a picture of himself, but given that these trees blossom for 1 week and then turn green and no one else was around, I had to take the picture by myself.

Sony FAIL

I was looking at Sony's website looking for the prices of Bluetooth headphones when I found this:

Headphones: 100€

same headphones + iPod adapter: 98€

yeah right...

My awesome class

Today I realized we are almost halfway through the second semester and while thinking about Friday’s costume party (which I’ll be posting as soon as I get the full sized pictures) I noticed I have an awesome class!

Really! I’m not sure what is it that makes it different, but I guess is the fact that all of us are nerdy/geeky in our own way, and we are neither ashamed of it (here in Spain that seems to be some sort of crime) nor critics on other’s hobbies, making us a very lively and united class… why? Because there are no prejudices! Sure I am more of a PC nerd than anything else, but I get along great with an awesome D&D friend of mine, and with this friend who is awesome at painting, and with this girl who loves Zelda games, or this other friend who sings like an angel… (I think you get the picture.) I’m not good at any of these things, and yet I really enjoy being with them!

I’m not saying that any other classes I’ve been in are worse; I’m just saying they are different... because of prejudices. The smart group doesn’t hang out with the “super-duper-pinky-awesome” girls who don’t hang out with the nerds who don’t hang out with… (and on, and on) why? Because there are too many prejudices. This year is all different, we are all together in this, we are all different but that doesn’t matter, we have fun together, and we gave each other a chance, something that doesn’t happen all the time.

I don’t know, I’m just really happy with my class ^_^

Robotics full contact: Lego Mindstorms 2 - Robosumo

Wohoo! yesterday we had the second session on Lego Mindstorms, this time about RoboSumo! (I guess you can imagine what the whole thing was about).It was so much fun! we had to compete first a group of four and then a group of five, and the two winner robots in each round get to go to the final. we aced it in the first round (first video) but didn't do so well in the final round. nah, nevermind that.
When we designed our robot, the first thing we thought of is that it had to be small, with a wide base and have a lot of friction. then Alex took care of the programming (again) and... voilà!
