Commercial review
So I normally try not to be too commercial or endorse one brand over another on this blog, though there have been a few exceptions. Usually it occurs when such and such a product is related to a human roblog tenet, such as 3m's Scotch-Brite pads for dishwashing. This is actually pretty difficult a lot of the time because I enjoy watching commercials so much, and often want to mention them here. I have dabbled with the possibility of beginning another blog for television commercial review, but that is crazy because I have a hard enough time merely getting posts up here.
So I'm doing it anyways. Robhut.
But I think television commercials reflect corporations' opinions of their audience. I am almost offended when huge corporations have crappy, or poorly thought out commercials. I know I personally enjoy the funny ones the most. I probably hold some bias in this respect, but I know that outside the realm of funny ads there is plenty of acceptable commercial advertising (like a Head & Shoulder commercial) and then there is not even trying (like so many McCain [foods] commercials).
So enjoy.

Optimus Prime
So.
You know my favourite part about watching how it's made? Sure, finding out how things are made is neat and cool at the same time, but really it's the dialogue, or rather the puns in the dialogue. Like the show on electrical transformers: "the shocking truth." OHHH Man. this glue will later melt and bond several components in place.
Did you know those things are filled with oil!

Broken dreams
Well, I seem to have broken my ankle. You know what the worst part about breaking your ankle is? Slowness. It takes me longer to walk anywhere, and going up stairs is crazy! I can't believe how tired I get when I use every step instead of 2 or 3 at a time, and did I mention it's slower? I can see that I did.
Except biking. I am just as fast, and surprisingly, the cast doesn't hinder me much.
Oh and maybe the breaking part sucked more than the slowness. I suppose it is how you weigh your decision making criteria. Is temporal consideration of importance? Semantics... maybe.

The limitations of Activity Based Costing
Well... Midterms. Still three to go, a quiz and an assignment before reading week. I still managed to watch Bones though. Did anyone else notice Dr. Brennan became Murphey Brown?

Giant hydraulic spiders
So It is crazy how many ideas I have for posts and then forget about them.. Not only that, but I'm always like, 'oh, I won't forget that', or 'I'll write it down when I get home'. Lately I'm having ideas all the time, but not many make it to paper or the screen. Some ideas I do remember, but they're going to require a lot of work to post. Problem is, my creative moments are usually when I'm walking to school, or working out at the gym, or driving, or basically whenever there isn't a pen and paper readily available. I need one of those pop-out note pads like Kevin Klein had in Wild Wild West, so I can write down whatever strikes me as remarkable at whatever given time. But I don't have to save the American government or Salma Hayek from Kenneth Branagh.... yet... so my ideas don't seem important enough to merit inventing a neat contraption like that.

Super graph wednesday, no wum sane?
Well the results of the compound-rob poll are in. 'Compound-rob poll'. Doesn't that sound like some sort of futuristic, super-flexible quarter-staff made from graphite composite that modern day robhood [man.. that should have been one of the choices] defeats little j Rock with? Perhaps, but what I was mentioning was that robriggle made a late break. Seems there are some Daily Show fans out there. Robstar, my gamer name has tied for the top spot.
