Videos games teach us life...in their own little way, also, Lego Stop-motion Mario! (yeah, I know, it's weak)

Morning

• JAVA!!!
• My "internet application" made out of Java won't work correctly. I wonder what I'm missing. It'll probably be handy to know how this works too.
• Journal Club was interesting to say the least. I mean, using videos games to teach in school? Sure, some things have come out (like the frog-whatever-the-name-really-is-'cuz-I-can't-remember-right-now merchandise) that teaches children things through video games, but I don't know. It might be a tad excessive to believe almost anyone can learn actual real important stuff through gaming. At least in school. Never said games don't teach you.
• As soon as I can scan them (or try using my camera to see how it looks) I'll be posting some drafts for the t-shirt. They're drafts, and I don't expect to be competition against Jenna and Travis. Their shirt design is good. I tried to keep away from the Game. (Whoops, just lost the game)

Afternoon

• Java!
• I'm working right now to try and make some sort of clock. Don't know if I'll be able to do it correctly (and I may give up on it for a while) but I would like to finish it.
• The drafts will have to wait for a while till I scan them.

Random news!

• Virgin Galactic: space travel for the rich (includes video w/ cool music)
• A hand-held solar-powered emulator!! (though apparently it doesn't play SNES I would still want it)
• Toy Helicopters: becomes a great toy in the right hands!
• Keynote w/ video of Bill Gates "last day" (retirement set for July)

Comments here please.
