Jansport Gear and Why Everyone Should Buy Them

Image
Today I want to give a little shout out to JanSport.  Their products are constructed to last through what ever you throw at it.  I have had the same backpack going on eleven years now!  I originally received my backpack when I was in fifth grade, and it has survived the beatings I put it through (getting shoved in a locker for seven years, numerous vacations, college shenanigans, etc.).  I really enjoy the backpack I own, and I have grown somewhat attached to the thing since I was given it all those years ago.  As crazy as it sounds I do not really want a different one; thankfully JanSport has a lifetime warranty on their products! Near the end of last April the bottom on my backpack started ripping out.  I was dismayed to see this; first because I was not quite done with school for the year and secondly because I was perfectly happy with my current backpack.  I contacted the company and they instructed me to ship the backpack to them.  T...

A Long Hiatus

Hey all!   I don't know how many people have this blog bookmarked or have followed it in the past.  I just wanted to make a short post letting everyone know that I am still alive.  I will be attempting to jump start this blog again by updating old pages and posting some new content.  For anyone wondering, I have graduated from my undergraduate program and have since moved all the way down to the city of Memphis, Tennessee.  I have been here for almost two years now.  I have some cool projects I have worked on which I will be posting in the future.  For now I will leave you with a picture of the wonderful pyramid (which is now a Bass Pro shop, if you can believe it) in Memphis!  Look forward to incoming posts from me.  Good day all!

Curiosity has landed!

Image
Hopefully you all have heard that the newest rover sent to Mars by NASA has landed safe and sound.  This is an awesome moment and hopefully the start of a long and successful mission!  I for one am extremely excited to see what the rover can find.  The rover touched down in the Gale crater near the equator. Now the rover will begin its examination of the martian soil looking for evidence of martian life in the past or even the present.  The rover was in development for about ten years before landing.  I sadly missed the live landing but I did watch the recording of the control room and watched the frame by frame on NASA TV.  It is good to see that some government funding is being spent for a good purpose. Lets raise a glass to the people who made this mission possible and succeeded in landing the one ton rover right on target!
