Toys-R-Rex 10:14 AM

So I finally got this to upload to YouTube (Stupid dorm internet). It's my new child. I call him Rex. Times Square Toys-R-Us has a life size T-Rex from Jurassic Park...totally AWESOME!

Oil Tycoon Turns Green!? 7:19 AM

Holy crap! This is what I like to see! Oil tycoon, T. Boone Pickens, is spending $10 billion on a 2,700 turbine wind farm. It will produce 4,000 megawatts of power (equivalent to 2 nuclear power plants). Pickens claims to be an enviormentalist...and guess what, HE IS! A once oil tycoon, he's realized how harmful natural gasses are to the enviorment. Is he in this wind power busniess for profit??? DUH! Who wouldn't be!?! As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's helping our enviornment and not costing us any more than natural gas power - let him make millions off it!

The farm will be in Texas, but will only be the beginning! Plans for wind and solar power are being developed to extend across the southwest from Texas to California. 

AIGA Boston 12:04 PM

AIGA held the Massaging Media 2 conference this past weekend at the World Trade Center in Boston. A couple of us from MV attended it...and...and it was a REALLY FREAKIN awesome time! 

We kinda got lost at first because if "Emily" (our GPS system) but it ended up leading us to the right place. Veggie World in Cambridge was first. They have some awesome food (All vegan food). No, I'm not a vegetarian, but I do like the food, now that I've tried it. To sum up the weekend we kind of attended about half the keynotes and breakout sessions mostly because it was an educators conference and there were only 23 student there. So we went to the stuff that we could benefit from. Then we did a ton of exploring of Midtown Boston and surrounding areas. Overall, a really awesome time! Check out my photos on Facebook. 

Leaking Windows 5:44 PM

There's been a huge problem plaguing my dorm room (and many other peoples dorms). This problem is just in New Hall (that I know of) and consists of serveral leaky windows. Now, I've reported this problem over and over and nothing was done...at least that what it seemed like. After the lastest leak (April 1st) I was fed up. I posted a video on YouTube with a wonderful little commentary at the end. This leak isn't your normal dripping, its a stream of water, usually a gallon per rainstorm that floods the window and floor. I e-mailed the college and was enlightened on what more was going on. This problem is being pursued by the college at a vicious rate. But, students are not aware of this, all we know is the college is just throwing their hands up in the air and telling us "There's nothing we can do." But, I'm spreading the word that the college is doing something. Perhaps they NEED the help of the students. Should we get involved? 

After hearing the entire story behind the leaky windows (and other New Hall issues), I posted a reply video explaining in detail and hoping that a student reassuring other students will help the tension ease...a bit. I'm not saying that we should just sit back and wait, but that we shouldn't blame the college. We should really be helping the college. Instead of ten people fighting to fix the problems in New Hall, we could have 500. Then the people that really screwed us over will pay for their poor work.
