The funny thing is that I found it while creeping the Youtube channel of a robot researcher/family friend whom I really look up to. Awesome.

I told myself that I would only make a new blog post when I either a) got my L, or b) finished my online portfolio. But I think this discovery is equally as satisfying as achieving either of those two things. Besides, I’m going to get my L tomorrow anyway. I will get it.

Must. Not. Fail.

I guess it’s about time for me to get my…

I think I know what I want to do with my life now.

Yum. Covers.

I’ve found yet another Youtube violinist to temporarily obsess over until I find someone new.

I love his violin covers. Look at how HAPPY he is when he plays!

Speaking of violin covers, I’m going to start recording a few of them with Karen next week :D Too pumped for that. I’ve been meaning to do something like that for the past year or so. And I’m sure there’s still room for a clarinet, flute, or any other instrument to join us… you know, when you guys aren’t busy nudgenudge. So watch out for us. Maybe we’ll end up being semi-successful haha

It’s organic!

So I only found out today that people feed their plants with fertilizer made out of blood and bones.

That was the only image running through my mind for the rest of my trip at Canadian Tire.

Dinosaur textbooks

The costs of textbooks these days are so incredibly high. I was checking out the student forum to find some cheap used textbooks, and I ran into this large hunk of awesome:

The dinosaurs are obvs there to increase the book’s value. These publishers sure know how to sell their stuff.

Cool stuff
