A Productive Break...

Hello everybody! 

I am very happy to say that my winter break has begun! I definitely need it. However, I plan on completing some tasks I've been putting off for quite a while. They include:

• Insulating the window in my bedroom. We live in a very old house; as such, our house has poor insulation--especially the windows. I want to insulate them with garbage bags!
• Researching how to organize a TEDx. I love listening to stories, and TEDTalks are pretty much nerdgasmic stories of being human, Maybe I can organize one at Cy Creek...
• Acquiring parts for a new and improved Arc Reactor (I want to wear this on the outside of my shirt).

I plan on blogging about my adventures starting tomorrow, so see you then!

Happy Birthday Frank Sinatra!

Yes, we all know today is 12/12/12--we can read calendars, but apparently some people cannot. Excuse me while I rant, but I am just tired of the whole "oh today's a big astrological planetary alignment day that leads up to the Mayan end of days where we all eat cream pie."

No. Just no.

There's nothing to stop me from proclaiming tomorrow as 1/1/1 of the Faridian Calendar, or yesterday as 25/25/25 of the Faridian the Elder Calendar--it's just a matter of finagling the starting day of my calendar. If I started my calendar yesterday, then today would have been 1/1/1. If I started it my calendar on Friday October 18, 1985, then today would have been 25/25/25. Nothing magical about it!

Second, WHO CARES IF THE NUMBERS ALL LINE UP!?!?!?!?
Today was also the anniversary of Guglielmo Marconi receives the first transatlantic radio signal, but nooooo. Nobody celebrates that achievement (or the fact that Marconi achieved that test with 17 of Nikola Tesla's patents). Instead, everybody is all excited about a bunch of twelves. 

Whoop-di-fudging-do.

And as the title states, today is Frank Sinatra's birthday, so may I suggest winding down your day with this?
