Last Weekend's Swim Meets (1/16-1/17)

Last weekend I went to Aviano and Vicenza for two swim meets. The first (Aviano) was a regular meet, and Vicenza's swim meet was the second (and last) pentathlon of the season. I saw improvement in both meets and I'm getting really excited for a home meet this Sunday. At Aviano, I swam the 50 Meter Freestyle, 100 Meter Freestyle, 200 Meter Freestyle, and 200 Meter Freestyle Relay. My times for the events were (in order): 28.62 seconds (3rd), 1:06.04 (4th), 2:31.19 (4th), and 1:54.44 (1st).

Shadowblaze - Back Again

Welp, here's another music for ya! A Drumstep track, with chiptune sounds, guitars (a couple of which were recorded by me), and a brutal drop like in my classic Dubstep/Drumstep stuff. So, hope you'll enjoy! I've had a lot of fun when making this track. http://youtu.be/XMA_qEJuLc4 Listen on SoundCloud: NOPE

My (First) Tablet

Earlier this year, my dad agreed to pay half the amount of a tablet of my choice if I pay for the other half. Fast forward a few months and I'm finally getting close to paying my half for a tablet. I decided to choose the NVIDIA Shield. I could buy it now if that's all that I was getting. But since it's a gaming tablet, why not get the controller and cover to go with it? The grand total is $400 ($300 for the tablet, $60 for the controller, and $40 for the cover). My dad's paying for half of the

How to excersize your creativity when you have nothing to do

Alright, let's say you are in some sort of situation or place and either feel you have nothing to do or are just bored, you can "excersize" your creativity. First of all, look for something that catches your eye. It could be furniture, architecture, etc. Now you've seen it, think of how you could recreate it in Lego Bricks, you don't really need a pile of bricks in front of you, just use your mind. It doesn't matter if you are thinking in terms of Minifig scale or real life scale, just as l

"Call of Christmas"

Welcome all to a special track right in time for Christmas. Call of Christmas http://youtu.be/oH-gX6F3myA I want to apologise that this isn't my best work. I simply ran out of time, but still wanted to show something for Christmas. This is the best I could do with the time crunch, but I hope you will all still like it. Anyways, Merry Christmas, everyone!

Imperfections Make You Human

Though I probably can't top Sadie's words of her previous blog, I have my own story to tell. I was outside in the cold preparing to hang up Christmas lights, (we were like the only ones who hadn't yet.) and decided to change the bulb on the far end of the porch (we have 2 porch lights, this one had been out for a while). So I climb the ladder and pull down the light cover and a cloud of dust and dead bugs welcomes me (bleh, I hate cleaning these things). I unscrewed the old fluorescent ligh

Never Feel a Sense of Uselessness

This is a message to anyone who might feel a lack of self-worth or feel that their personal best isn't sufficient. Though you might feel there's nothing you can do to contribute in any way, this couldn't be further from the truth. The reality of it is we're all each unique having been born into this world with unique psychological mapping, which thereafter over the course of our lives is further expanded on/reformed on the basis of our individual experiences and general exposures, in com

---Prototype Intensifies---

I got my prototype part from BZPower for sending stuff to BrickFair this year. Not as cool as a mask, but still pretty rad. (I've owned the milky white part since last year) I wonder what I'll do with it...

Review: 99703 2014 Exclusive SDCC Figure

99703 2014 Exclusive SDCC Figure Review by Phantom Terror Photo Review The Cyan Mk. VI Spartan is an exclusive Mega Bloks Halo micro-action figure (MAF) that San Diego Comic Con-goers received when they visited the Mega Bloks booth. I have heard that they were exclusive to SDCC 2014, but I've also heard that they were available at RTX 2014 as well. They don't have a fixed retail price, but I'd estimate that they are worth around $7-$10 to collectors. I bought mine for $7.50 MISB

A Temporary Farewell

Well I think it's time for me to move on, time to look past RRU, it's been a good 1 9/10ths years here, and I've had loads of fun. But I'm currently in a rather bumpy part sector of my life, in a few months I'll be starting HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) so I'll have to find my self again, and I'll be rid of my boyish appearance in 1-2 years. But I feel that it'd be better for me to transition free of distractions, as I'll also be taking on my internship during the same summer I start hormone

How to get Rock Raiders to work on VMWare Fusion

Review: 97076 Covenant Weapons Pack

97076 Covenant Weapons Pack Review by Phantom Terror Photo Review The Covenant Weapons Pack is a small Mega Bloks Halo set that was sold in 2013 as a "booster pack" or "expansion pack" for your Halo universe. Today, I will be analyzing it and comparing its part quality and versatility to similar LEGO pieces. The Box The box isn't really anything special. It showcases the set on the front and back with the standard legal info on the bottom, back, and sides, with the Halo a

Sweating the small stuff

Note: I typed up most of this entry over a week or two ago, I've just not posted it for reasons I'll elaborate on in the post itself. Just putting that out there for context. As I type this, I'm lying awake in bed. Unable to sleep. Worrying. Stressing. About what? I might not know. Maybe I do, but I won't say, because whatever it is I can guarantee it's stupid and not worth stressing over. But I do anyway. Why? Because I can't not. I happen to be highly autistic. I try not to let it de

Shadowblaze - Echoes of Snow

This is an orchestral music I made for Christmas, as a gift to everyone. It's quite different from your usual Christmas tunes, in fact I tried to stray away from clichés, and did something unique. I hope you'll like it! Also, fancy visualizer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYmEAGHR2Ig Listen on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/officialshadowblaze/shadowblaze-echoes-of-snow

Halo Mega Bloks Bravo Series

Now that I've figured out the code technique for finding the figures that I want, I'm going to continue building my collection of the new-age figures with interchangeable armor and enhanced articulation. The Codes have just been released for Bravo Series, so I just have to wait about a month or two for them to hit the shelves and then I'll begin collecting. Thankfully, I've had plenty of time to think about which figures I'll be getting in what order. I'll also be nabbing all of the My

Halo Mega Blocks Alpha Series

There comes a time in every boy's life where he gives up his childish ways and becomes a man... Lolnope. Hello everybody, before you begin breaking down my door with pitchforks and torches screaming "KILL THE HERETIC!!1!", I've decided to complete the Halo Mega Bloks Alpha Series collection. The Alpha Series (Series 10) of collectible Halo figures is much different from the past waves. I only wanted to get the figures that I liked, but now that Mega Bloks has introduced better

Life Sure Likes to Rock and Roll

Life, is a trip, it can fun, scary, and sad, or a number of the other emotions we humans can output. Right now, my life stressful, school work, especially film school work, is difficult yet fun and there is a hell of a lot of information to absorb in one semester. Doctors appointments, and the health of my body also add to my stress. In total I see about 10-12 different doctors each year for various little things. I have an eye doc, an ear doc, a spine doc, etc, my body has a tendency of turning

Thought on Animal and Human DNA exchanging

Incase you don't have enough time to read or want as much info as possible I created a short and long version; SHORT; Can an animal's Genetic code/DNA be put into a Human? LONG; Some time ago, I found out in a class about how scientists were able to make a Human ear grow on the back of a Mouse. This got me thinking; If we can implement Human DNA (in that case, the DNA for the ears) into an animal, then surely it would be possible to do it the other way around; Implementing

Thu'll Number System and College Finals

Well, I finally had the time to scan what I had of the counting system for Thu'll, and it's Final exam/project time here in the US (for those at college) so i've been working on that too. For my Sound Design class we had to completely mute a clip and replace all the sound using various pre made clips and foaly clips(making our own sounds).

How does this happen...

6 billion names

That is how many alternate JimbobJeffers mathematically exist. The evening of 13 November, Yajmo was joking how should have some code randomize the spelling of his name, with a new spelling appearing upon every page load. Since such a task would be best accomplished client-side using JavaScript, I wrote up some code that did just that, available at gist.github.com/le717/4c2188ca814f56575a26. The above code loops through each character of the entered name, randomly picks a letter and
