Voicemail has its uses, for example, when one won't be able to pick up the phone for awhile, but needs to relay a message immediately, or when other forms of communication are not possible, i.e. e-mail or texting is inconvenient or irrelevant.

However, I still usually end up ignoring it, thus rendering most of the pros as moot.

On the subject of high school friends, just because you're different, doesn't mean you can't be friends.

Pi is wrong.

Well, actually, maybe it would just be better to use what is currently known as 2*pi. I've always thought it would be easier if sine and cosine had periods that were just pi, not 2pi.

So should pi be 6.283185...? Should pi be the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its radius, instead of diameter? If so, it would take about 50 years for this to gain any momentum in the mathematical community.

Metal Wolf Chaos impressions

Sunday, September 3, 2006 | 11:26:11 PM

So I was directed to this trailer for Metal Wolf Chaos. Now I will entertain you with selected quotes.

"Because YES! The pen is still mightier than the sword."
"This has been an announcement from the government policy promotion department where the password is... 'No more Metal Wolf'"
"Surrender now while your crimes are still not so serious."
"Give up on that man and... Surrender by 5 PM today!"
"This has been an announcement from the gove...

Pokemon is back!

Sunday, September 3, 2006 | 11:41:07 PM

So maybe not really. I don't know how it started. Dillon just brought his cards one day and showed me his (poor) deck. And then I eventually tried to fix it after school one day. It spread from there as people saw what was going on. Soon, other people began bringing their own decks and cards, as well as their gameboy games.

So happy day! Pokemon is coming back! People are even battling the TCG at lunch and after school and such. Even outside the inner circle, there have been talks of pokemon...

Procrastination: a catch 22

Tuesday, September 5, 2006 | 12:06:06 AM

I want to write a blog entry/post/essay/rant/ramble on procrastination.
I write more interesting blogs when inspired or motivated than when not.
I am often motivated or inspired to write a blog on procrastination after I had done so.
I have to do work after I procrastinate.
I usually procrastinate until late at night.
After I finish my work, it is very late and I want to go to sleep.

Therefore, I never get time to write an blog on procrastination when I have the right motivation.

PBJ

Wednesday, September 20, 2006 | 8:51:52 PM

Mark this day. September 20, 2006.

I, Ryan, have eaten (part of) a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for the first time.

This is monumentous. For the first time in my 17(.605) years of life, I have sampled one of the "staples" of American childhood cuisine.

And I must say... it's not bad.

On Procrastination

Monday, September 25, 2006 | 12:25:00 AM

So. Everyone knows that procrastination is bad. At least in the long run. "Hard work pays off later, but procrastination pays off now", or something to that effect.

But anyway, right now I have homework to do. Namely, I need to read and write entries about the book Wuthering Heights. I had other homework to do, and I completed that first, but still at a slow pace. I had been far too distracted by the internet. And now, it's 10:00 and I have over 150 pages to read. It's not a small book with l...
