I finally finished my last class at Baker College. All I need to do now is fill out some paperwork, have my boss sign it, fax/mail it in to the school, get it approved, and BAM - I'll be getting my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science! Finally. Two years of full time school, full time work, getting a new job, moving and buying a house - and tons of stress. It's finally over.
What am I going to do with the degree? Who knows? My Montgomery GI Bill expires next month, so I finished school just in time. That's what the goal was, to finish school before running out of GI Bill benefits. All I know is that my life has gone through some major transitions in the past couple years - much more so than I could have imagined.
As for the next few years... we'll see.

We want to control the world by having a set of simple rules of "If this, then that."

So, we're still here. We weren't sucked into a man-made black hole. It turns out that the debut of CERN's Large Hadron Collider(LHC) was only really getting the ion beam to go around the entire 17 miles in one direction at a time.

Some of you know I'm a little nuts. But do I really need to pass that on to my kids? About an hour ago, Phoenix said something about when a kid dies, he goes to heaven.
Me: His soul will go, but his body will stay.
Phoenix: Yeah. What is a soul?
Me: It is who you are. This body (I touched his arms, chest, and head) is not you. You are inside this body.
Phoenix: What?! Is a soul bones?
Me: No, your soul is invisible. And since you are your soul, you are invisible.
Phoenix with wide eyes and a big smile: But you can see me.
Me: Yeah, that's because your soul is wearing clothes. Your body is like clothes for your soul. So when your body dies, it's like your soul getting out if it's clothes.
He was pretty excited. Now did I just screw him up for life by telling him that he is invisible?
