Helicopter Domination
Remember back when I posted about the helicopter game? Well I've been playing it semi-religiously since then in an attempt to beat the record in that post. I've played in the morning, the afternoon, the evening, and even after midnight to see if time of day matters. I've played while eating, hopped up on caffiene, and even after using an electric sander to see if the decreased sensitivity of my hands will yield better game play. All of these attempts at achieving a higher score have been the result of altering physical attributes of myself, but this morning I tried something different. I thought, perhaps, music could inspire me to achieve success, so I tried my first song: Chariots of Fire.
Chariots of Fire, for those of you who don't know, is the song that they ALWAYS play in movies when something goes into slow-motion. So I played the music and grabbed the joystick of the helicopter. I flew along quite magnificantly until *crash*, 1200 points. Well, that wasn't good! I started the music over again and tried again. It was going well until *crash* 1300. Alright, well, Chariots of Fire just wasn't cuttin' it, so I decided to switch songs.
Next was Summon the Heroes, by John Williams. It's Olympic music, it's the song that starts my band slideshow in case you were wondering what it sounded like. In fact, the second song you hear in that slideshow is Chariots of Fire. Anywho, Summon the Heroes. I cued the music and flew magestically through the air to the sound of trumpet fanfares and huge low-brass explosions. It was going wonderfully until *crash* 2000. 2000 is pretty far, so I thought I'd give it another go. Soaring, soaring, soaring, 1900. Ok, time to try another song.
They always say that the third time's the charm. My next choice was "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana. I was flying along, and along, and along, and I just kept flying. This seemed to actually be working! 2,000 . . . 2,500 . . . 3,000 . . . OMG This is Working! . . . 3,500 . . . There goes my RECORD! . . . 4,000 . . . Carmina Burana has switched to the next track, which is another fanfare piece that is played all the time at the olympics. *crash*
OMG! 4,377!!!!cos(0)! MUSIC WORKED! Here's proof:

A penguin that looks like a penguin
Ok, here's another penguin I made, this time using penguin colors. He looks better.

Penguins and Whiteboards
I said I had balloon making powers? Well, check out an example! It's a penguin. I didn't waste my black, white, and orange balloons so he's funny colored, but still a penguin!
Also, I spent the better part of my day with pin-striping tape and a ruler segmenting off a whiteboard. It took a good 6 hours and was extremely tedious, but I'm proud of how it turned out. It's for my mom's office, let's hope they like it.

Some Updates
Haven't posted lately, apologies. So, I'll give you a quick recap of what's been going on.
It's currently Spring Break and believe me, everybody at school is greatful. Some people are going on trips to New York (Truman), others to California (Jessica), and still others to Arizona (Scott). I, however, am staying at home because I have a bunch of stuff to do! So, what kind of stuff? What could be keeping me so busy that I am not vacationing like last year?
i)
Our band director needs a new podium that's slightly bigger, so I'm making him one. I started on Saturday despite the fact that I awoke with the plague and could barely breathe through my nose. That and I'm coughing like I'm a 30-something smoker that works in a coal-mine. Needless to say, not a whole lot got done on the podium, but I did get the edges dovetailed so that the fit together into a nice little box. Check it out:
We need to sand off the burn marks, but it's shaping up nicely.
ii)
On Wednesday there is a party in Portland for all the kids from Oregon and a bunch of the kids from Washington that were admitted to MIT. For those of you who may not know, I've been obsessing over how many people from Oregon were accepted. Slowly slowly slowly the numbers are trickling in. The nearest I figure, there are at least 6 and likely at most 7. That means a third of the admits from Oregon go to Sprague. w00t, represent. Oh, that reminds me, here's a nifty little statistic for MIT admissions this year.
>>Admit rate for females: 26%
>>Admit rate for males: 10%
Basically what this means is that as an upper-middle-class white male with two living parents and no terminal illnesses, I pretty much just won the lottery while being kissed by Jennifer Aniston. No joke, a ten percent admit rate is insane!
Anywho, the party should be entertaining, I plan on making it fun if people turn out to be dull. I know at least one person is bringing balloons for balloon animal sculpting so I'm going to show off my mad skills. Yes, that's right, I can sculpt balloon animals. Didn't know THAT little detail about me, didja?
iii)
Today I awoke and decided to get out of the house a little bet. I bought some gas and headed over to Wal*Mart while waiting for the bank to open. I had to deposit a check but apparently banks are stupid and open at 9. While at Wal*Mart I succombed to the "I have money in my pocket and I want that" syndrome, so I ended up with a new flash drive. It's 1 Gig and in my favorite colors: Orange and Black. The orange glows when the drive is plugged in, quite fancy. The port retracts when not in use, so it's almost like a switchblade drive. I like it, and the price was right.
iv)
I have far more calculus homework to accomplish than I wish to. In fact, when my teacher was writing down our assignment for spring break she wrote it so that it wasn't in view of the document camera, and she seemed to be writing for an awful long time. Then she shifted her arm and the assignment slid in front of the camera. This is what we saw:
Section 12.1/1, 2, 9, 19, 26, 29, 33, 43, 47, 54, 56, 60, 61
The class then proceeded to groan, whine, and complain like a bunch of little girls whose barbie was kidnapped by their brother. It actually got a little out of control, people started just making weird guteral noises after a while, just because it was fun to complain. Then, to our abject horror, she continued to write.
Section 12.2/1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 20, 27, 29, 30, 37, 42, 52, 53, 56, 58
At this point everybody is starting to dig their pitchforks and torches out of their backpacks. It was an ugly scene.
In conclusion, I have a lot of calculus to get done.
v)
Speech team districts are coming up in about 2 weeks and I need to practice my speech. I don't think I've been giving updates on that very much, so lemme fill you in really quick. I've competed with my Binary speech at three tournaments and been tournament champion at all three. Sooooo, it's going pretty well. I'm rusty though, so I need to start working it up so I can qualify for state! and then win state! and get shiny stuff!
vi) Ok, so this isn't actually part of spring break, but it's right after. On Wednesday April 11th I leave for Boston to stay at MIT through that Sunday for CPW. I plan on taking a lot of pictures and blogging the experience. I also plan on having a blast!
Until then, blog readers, I will talk to you later and attempt to update more often. Adios muchachos!

Mario Kart: Live
I'm going to have to say that this movie made me laugh a lot! They pretty much replicate everything from the Mario Kart games, but manage to also make it the most ridiculous thing ever. Kudos to you guys! I'm definitely thinking about organizing one of these in college, how intense would that be?!?!
Things to look for/Things that are funny:
Things to look for/Things that are funny:
- The shells: Green, Red, and Blue
- Chucking bananas at people from 5 feet away
- The guy in the white shirt with the camera pole who helps people back onto the course
- The chain chomp
- The thwomp
Enjoy!

The Ultimate Nintendo Wii Mod
I have a Wii. I love my Wii. Apparently, some people love their Wii much more than I do, and also have much more artistic ability than me, because the following item is just waiting to be snatched up on eBay:
The Ultimate Legend Of Zelda Wii!
It's completely modded and tricked out with new backlights, gold-colored plating, a textured black surface, and a master sword/shield. It had to have taken hours, and all the proceeds go to charity. If I were you, I would take this opportunity to buy the most amazing Wii ever!
I'll post a couple of pictures here, but there are many more, which I have conviniently arranged on another website for your viewing pleasure. They are all full sized on the other site, which can be found here: http://jzzsxm.googlepages.com/amazingwii

It's completely modded and tricked out with new backlights, gold-colored plating, a textured black surface, and a master sword/shield. It had to have taken hours, and all the proceeds go to charity. If I were you, I would take this opportunity to buy the most amazing Wii ever!
I'll post a couple of pictures here, but there are many more, which I have conviniently arranged on another website for your viewing pleasure. They are all full sized on the other site, which can be found here: http://jzzsxm.googlepages.com/amazingwii

Free Kehl and Alex!
The Sprague High School administration has administered an unjust punishment to two of Sprague's finest. Kehl VanWinkle and Alex Bernardo are now serving a three day suspension for inappropriate campaign posters. Alex is running for student office and Kehl is his campaign manager. The poster in question contained the caption "Alex Bernardo: Sculpted By Artist's Hands" and contained a picture of the statue of David. Kehl superimposed Alex's face onto David's. The picture of David (minues Alex's face) is shown below:
As you can see, the picture is edgy. I would understand completely if the school simply removed the posters, but a three day out of school suspension was uncalled for! Alex is out of the running and Kehl is being forced to miss an area band festival. This is injustice! Post your comments and show your support for Kehl and Alex! FREE KEHL AND ALEX!!!

MIT Bouncy Ball Hack
The new members of the Class of 1994 at MIT dutifully assembled for their freshman class picture on the steps of building 10. As they were getting situated, a banner with the simple word SMILE dropped silently from a skylight behind them.
While this did not catch their attention, the 1994 superballs which immediately followed the banner and fell immediately behind them, did. The superballs rebounded 20-30 feet into the air on the first bounce, then were kept aloft by the frosh who caught them and then threw them at each other, the camera, and observers.
The drop itself happens about 5--10 seconds into the video; you have to look closely to see the tiny balls. After that you can see students throwing balls.
After a few minutes, the photographer said, ``Please stop throwing balls at the camera!'' The freshman obliged and all threw their superballs at the camera.
Each superball was decorated with a smiley face.

R2D2 Fanboy-ism
I love R2D2, he's just an amazing little robot. He beeps, whistles, can tap into anything, and is very sarcastic. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the United States Postal Service loves the little guy too! In celebration of the 30th Star Wars Anniversary, the USPS will began replacing their standard blue mail drop boxes with special edition anniversary ones that look exactly like. . . R2D2!!!
Also, something else R2D2 I've located on the interweb is:

Yep, that is definitely an R2D2 trash can! I'm in love. . .
