Stop right now and look at the timestamp. 

Yes thats right, its almost 6 am in the morning.  No I did not wake up early to post for you peoples.  I am still up from yesterday.  My Sr Design project is due Friday morning and about 24 hours ago the electronics in the box grew the mind of a 13 year old girl.  For absolutely no rational reason things that used to work, stopped doing so.  We can not figure out why or what we can threaten the processor with to make it behave.  I think I will not let it see that new Intel chip that has been hanging around.  If she can't do her work, no play.

Anyway, I am completely cracked out and should get back to fending off the world from evil penguin ninjas with laser beams for flippers. 

I got this in an email lately and decided to share it with you:

Subject: Doctors vs. Guns
 
Doctors:
(A) The number of doctors in the U.S. is 700,000
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are 120,000
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%
Statistics courtesy of the U.S. Dept of Health &Human Services
 
Guns:
(A) The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000 (yes that's 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
0.001875%
Statistics courtesy of the FBI
 
***************************
 
So statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners.
 
Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.
 
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
 
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat We must
ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!

I'm not sure anyone told you but it is a new year.  I just thought I'd be the first one to tell you since I'm sure you don't have a life and haven't bothered to check the date.  Now that that is over with, time for the good stuff.  As you know, this time of year brings about many people who promise not to do certain things anymore.  They like to call these promises New Year's Resolutions, or as I like to call them, A List of Things I'll Do For 2 Weeks Then Give Up On Till Next Year.  Instead of wasting your time with a list of things that I'll do this year, I'm going to give you a list of things that I won't do. 

Dan's List of Things That He Won't Do This Year:

1.  I will not wear a bonnet after labor day.  I know there has been a lot of pressure on me but I'm simply refusing this year.

2.  I will not listen to any more bad music (other than the bad stuff I already have).

3.  I will not save the world from Aliens.  I do have a life people and its about time someone else stepped up to the plate and took a crack at those Alien Bastards.

4.  I will not drool over Rance when he puts on those tight little....   whoops.  This was one for the personal list.  Forget about this one.

5.  I will try real hard to not look at the shiny things.

6.  I will not eat things that look like peeled grapes at the Biomed Halloween Party.

7.  I will not transform into a giant roll of bubble wrap.

8.  I will not conform to logic.  All Hail Danary!

10.  I will not use the number that used to be after 8.  It doesn't exist anymore so don't look for it.

As you can see, it will be an exciting year with all of these changes.  Stay tuned for an update as to how this is all going.

It is the Christmas season once again so I will grace your inboxes with an update from your favorite engineer.  Life is good and I'm enjoying every minute of it.  I am finished with my last fall semester of undergrad and have until May before I graduate and enter the real world full time.  I'm going up to Detroit for the Motor City Bowl because Akron somehow made it to a bowl game (they even managed to be MAC champs).  After the game a bunch of us are going across the way to Windsor for the evening.  A few days later I'll be driving up to Minnesota to spend the new years with my mom's side.  I haven't seen them in a long time and it will be good to harass everyone again. 

I feel like you need a second course of the Dan Paul Show so you get a special treat, a second paragraph. (Oooh,    aaaaah).  My cat is staring at my wondering why I'm still sitting at this light box and not petting him. lnkhuh  That was Owen's face on the keyboard.  He apparently told you something but you have to figure out what it was.  I have already done a little bit of Christmas Exchanges with some friends so far.  I received a track jacket, a shirt, a lego pirate ship, 5 lieters of Warsteiner, a bar book (lots of mixed drinks and shots), and a sign.  I love them all!  Well, i should finish cleaning my room while I'm still motivated.  Later
