I would've already ordered it and probably be typing some other entry on it, but my mom keeps saying I can't get it. The only reason I'm getting is, "You don't need it." Yeah, I know I don't need it, but I'm going to need one in a couple years and this is a really good deal. I would be able to do my homework on it (word processing), code and design things (Photoshop/text editor).

The laptop comes with 3GB of RAM (upgradable to 4GB), 250GB of space, Dell 1395 wireless mini-card (is that good?) and best of all, a one year warranty for parts and labor. I wish that it would come with Windows XP because I don't know how good Vista Home Premium with SP1 is. If anyone has this, I'd really like to hear some of your experiences with it.

Even though I can't get it now, when my mom or dad asks me what I want for Christmas all I'm going to say is, "I want you to allow me to buy that laptop I want." This is kinda how I got my iPod Touch:

1. Bookmark the item. Check!
2. Wait for the right moment.
3. Order the item.
4. Wonder where the heck the FedEx truck is.
5. Enjoy your new item.

I just have to wait until the right time and then I'll be all set. Only a few more months until you are mine you lovely laptop...

Today in chemistry we were doing the periodic table and the properties of the elements in certain families (columns). The first family is the Alkali Metals which will explode when put in water. The lower down you go, the more the explosive the element is. We watched a video on how the elements explode and what power they have depending on how far down they are. The last element in that family made this huge explosion and it was only 2 grams of it!

After we watched the movie, it was time for a live demo. First my teacher put a couple grams of beryllium into the water and it just foamed and sizzled (I love that word). Then came the sodium; not salt, sodium. This time he had to take it out of a box with those remove-water-from-the-air tablets. The sodium was kept in kerosene so air couldn't get into and set it off. He couldn't touch it while he tried to cut it because the water from his hands would set it off.

Once he got a tiny piece of it, he put the rest of it back into the container and put that away. We then got ready for the grand finale. He was pulling down the safety screen and then dropped the sodium in there. It began to hiss like the beryllium and then caught on fire. Someone asked if that was it and once he finished saying that... BOOM! I heard and crack and snap. The breaker with the water in it broke.

And that's my awesome story. Oh and I did a chemistry project for nitrogen. If you want to watch the video you can at YouTube.

I'm recoding everything for BlogBox. The way I started was not going in a direction I wanted it to. I deleted all the files I had because they would only get in the way. Therefore, I cannot give you an early release until I finish this new version.

I have also picked up a partner in crime... Chien! I picked her because she coded her own CMS and can design websites like crazy. We've begun coding and have finished the admin panel design and started on some staple functions. I hope you like a grey admin panel.

The four main functions BlogBox will do are, posts, comments, categories and users. If there is anything you'd like to see in it please comment on this entry. The templating system will resemble that of Wordpress. I will have a tutorial on how to make a layout when I release it.

I'll be looking forward to every Cutenews user converting over.

My schedule for school got switched around for the final time last Wednesday. I now have AP (History) for the first two periods and Chemistry/Gym for the last two periods of the day. I'm really happy that this happened because I got the best Chemistry teacher. He's so cool and funny, you just have fun, but learn so much. I also like my AP class a little bit more than my old one. We're going to be having homework on the computer, so I might be able to sneak in an entry or two.

All of my other classes are fine, I enjoy my English more this year than last year, but that's a different issue... Almost every Monday we'll get a list of vocabulary words that we'll have to define. This is how I did my vocabulary last Monday night...

What song am I listening to in that picture?

Just so you know, that's my mom's room and the flash went off in that photo. Now I should be going to study for my Chemistry quiz and a test that I need to make up. *flies off*

If you're using either Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari hover over the navigation up above. I added some jQuery to it to make it less boring. I don't know if this will work with Opera, I really need to add that onto my todo list, download Opera. If you're using Internet Explorer, download Firefox because it's better, and you can't see the awesome effect.

Sorry I haven't blogged in forever, school's been very interesting. I already know what I'm going to blog about tomorrow, except it to be able school. Enjoy the new layout and any advice is appreciated.

Edit: I downloaded Opera and the jQuery works in there.

kthxbai.

p: Today is Tuesday.
q: 2 + 7 = 9

Note that you must have p and q. So, would statement p be true? Yes, it would. However, what if I asked that to you yesterday? Then it would be false. Statement q on the other hand is always true because there is no way to not make that statement false without changing it.

We then moved onto combining two statements with and. Using the same examples as above, what would the following case (two statements combined with and) result in?

p and q

It can result in 4 different outcomes. The first can be true and the second can be true, the first can be true and the second can be false, and vice versa. You can express this in letters: TT, TF, FT, FF. Knowing this, the statement can only be two of those possible combinations, only two can be the result, TT or FT. The answer in this case, today, is true.

Now, how does this involve PHP? I'll write p and q in PHP form.

<?php
$p = 'Tuesday';
$q = 2 + 7;
?>

I've only written Tuesday for p because we only need to check if today is Tuesday. The other words are just there so you speak proper English. Now let's set the variables for the actual results.

<?php
$today = date('l');
$addition = 2 + 7;
?>

I used the date function to get the current day's name (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc). Now we'll compare the two using PHP's form of and. You can either write AND or &&. I prefer &&.

<?php
if ($p == $today && $q == $addition) {
	echo 'Today is Tuesday and 2 plus 7 equals 9.';
} else {
	echo 'Today isn\'t Tuesday or 2 plus 7 doesn't equals 9.';
}
?>

When we put everything together, we have this final bit of code.

<?php
$p = 'Tuesday';
$q = 2 + 7;

$today = date('l');
$addition = 2 + 7;

if ($p == $today && $q == $addition) {
	echo 'Today is Tuesday and 2 plus 7 equals 9.';
} else {
	echo 'Today isn\'t Tuesday or 2 plus 7 doesn't equals 9.';
}
?>

Result for today:
Today is Tuesday and 2 plus 7 equals 9.

That's your dose of PHP and math logic for today.

• Period 1 - Chemistry H
• Period 2 - Chemistry Lab/Gym
• Period 3 - Art
• -- Lunch --
• Period 4 - Geometry
• Period 5 - Spanish H
• Period 6 - English
• Period 7/8 - World History AP

H means honors, which is a step above the average class. AP means Advance Placement, which is a college level class. I shouldn't be taking chemistry until I'm in 10th grade, I'm currently in 9th. I was in the average class and everyone in there failed one, if not more, of these three tests: biology, earth science or chemistry (therefore repeating the class). I couldn't stand being in there so I switched. The only bad thing about having two advanced classes is that I have to eat lunch at 10:14. If the chemistry doesn't work out, I guess I'll take earth science.

GTFO LUNCH!

...um, wtf?

Side note that has nothing to do with this post - NOOOOO! Summer can't be over. School starts tomorrow, the 3rd.

I hope that your computer didn't die from all the images.

I went to go and get my hair cut yesterday because the length was bothering me. My hair gets long in the back but doesn't grow that much on the top. After we (my two brothers and I) got our hair cut, we were driving back. The first red light that we came to, there was a UPS truck next to us. If you've ever seen on of those, then you would know that where the person sits, there is no door.

Now I sit behind the driver (my mom) on the left side. The truck was on the other side next to my older brother, he's 17. So my brother looks up at him and he looks down at him and they have a little conversation. It was merely a, "Hi, how are you?" kinda thing. I was cracking up because it was just funny.

I just had to take a picture because I knew I was going to blog about it. Click to enlarge.

I almost dropped my camera after I took it. Thank God I didn't have the flash on, otherwise he might have been freaked out.

I'm talking about one in specific, Iconator. Now, I don't go there anymore because of two reason. 1) I can make my own icons so I don't need to download them. 2) I wouldn't sign up for an account and try to make a unique and pretty profile when the background color is blue.

The only color that works well with that background is white, black, other blues and some others. Trust me, I know, I've tried. Now I'm not saying that it's a bad color. Two out of five of something I make in Photoshop, usually have in that shade of blue. But I don't use it as the main color. I could see them using that color as the background color, links or the headers' color.

I've actually emailed Iconator about their layout and restriction of HTML tags in user profiles. Really, only link tags? They emailed me back saying to watch in the next couple of months for a "major change". I received that email in January of February. That was seven or eight months ago, I think that's long enough for a "couple months".

Now that I'm done with my rant, let me ask you this. Are there any sites that you visit with layouts that bother you?

This will be my first Apple product. Ever since my brother's friend came over and I saw it, I knew that I would get one one day. However I wasn't going to pay $300 for it. Then my mom told me about refurbished products. What else would I do but google it! When I saw the 100 dollars off, I thought, who wouldn't get one for the same price as a iPod Nano?

My new iPod will be shipped either today or tomorrow and arrive anytime next week from the 25th to the 28th, Monday to Thursday. Even though I'm not a big music person, I also wanted it for it's internet purposes. I bet by the time the 8GB is filled up, most of it will be of movies.

I think I'm going to remove the theme switcher because I don't like having all these different files on my site. Plus I think that the other two that I made are really crappy because all I did was change some colors and fonts.

It's like Scrabble only you don't have to share the board. You don't even have a board, you just build on a table or wherever you are playing. As well, words can be removed, edited or whatever you want as long as the words on your "board" still make sense.

Before you start the game, place all the tiles face down on the surface you are playing on (these tiles are called the "bunch"). When you begin the game, every player takes a number of tiles. The number of tiles depends on how many players you have. When a player uses all of his/her tiles, they say "peel" and then all players must take one tile from the bunch. If the bunch has less tiles than the number of players, the player says "Bananas!" and he/she is the winner of the game if all the other players agree on the words.

If you get stumped with a letter you have you can return that tile to the bunch and take three tiles. This action is called "dumping".

You can also play by yourself. Peeling whenever you need a letter and there is no dumping. I really like playing by myself because it keeps me occupied for a few hours and I learn new words. :D Here are two of my games:

Game One, beginning word vacant:

Game Two, beginning word voltage:

In my admin panel, I separated published and unpublished posts, approved and unapproved comments, approved and unapproved links. I then make it more "fancy" by adding some jQuery and AJAX.

Finally, I worked it into my layout and the finished product is what you're seeing. I still have one more thing I want to do, theme switcher. It'll be easy because of how I coded to have alterations later on.

Edit: I added a theme switcher. Go check it out. I only have two themes. I love version 2.0 <3

Don't you love my new layout? Brent made me toucan (and helped with the header ). I've been working on it for a week and I absolutely love it. <3 If the layout looks all funky clear your cache and refresh the page (Ctrl + F5). I really think that without the toucan, this layout would be boring and blah. From now on, he's my logo for this site, so he'll be in all of my layouts.

P.S. I got the smilies to work, try 'em out.
