Evanescence: DI Photo

Published on May 10, 2004 in General and Musika. Closed

Looks like the DI did actually send a photographer to the Evanescence concert… they just never bothered to publish a story or any photos about it until now. Basically, they’ve got a feature on the DI Finest Photos of 2004 (little presumptuous seeing as the year’s not even half over). But apparently, they thought this photo of Evanescence was one of their best of the year. Why it wouldn’t have warranted publishing earlier on that basis, I don’t know. Maybe they should have titled it “Finest Photos for Stories We Didn’t Publish.”

Just ran across an interesting site. Appears to be a collection of oddball videos and such that have surfaced on the net. For example, there’s this vid of a kid going after a pi?ata, and news footage of a helicopter crash (always figured they wouldn’t be pretty with those giant spinning blades). Note: definitely not work safe stuff here (there’s some non kid-friendly stuff there…).

Getting close…

So I’m finally getting close to wrapping up this semester, which marks the end of my required course credits. All of the stuff for Nick’s class finished up yesterday afternoon. The slides for all of the project presentations are up at the ECE497NC website. We managed to slap together something for the poster session for Matt’s class this afternoon. Went ok, but since a large portion of the project is compiler stuff, and I haven’t the remotest clue about compilers in general so… I wasn’t much help in fielding questions. There were definitely a handful of projects in both classes that I found interesting. Anyway, about all I have left for the semester is the project writeup for Matt’s class and whatever handful of results we want to include. Shouldn’t be too bad. Looking forward to having things finished.

So I’ve finally decided the previous color scheme for Malkier was a little too bleak. And I’ve been doing the whole black background thing for a bit too long (started way back in undergrad when everyone had plain grey backgrounds or awful background images and almost no one went black). Hopefully the new scheme is a little more festive… although I’m not quite happy with it yet. And I finally got around to installing my own copy of my blog software (the old stuff was provided by the host and didn’t allow me to customize the comments pages, or really control the blog as much as I would’ve liked).
