Jak’s Life 2.0

Even though there’s some gross misspellings in the video the point still gets across, we (as high school students) aren’t learning everything we should. I can say this coming from a current high school junior’s point of view, the schools are teaching to the test, during sophomore year pretty much all we learned was how to take the upcoming CAPT test. Although now in junior year we don’t hear as much about the SATs as we should it’s a nice change, we’re actually learning…not stressing about the upcoming CAPT tests.

Well I just realized how long it’s been since I last blogged so I’m going to just give you a quick update of everything that’s going on in my life.

I’ve been using Leopard and it is awesome although I have had a few kernal panics it’s truely been awesome, it seems faster and more friendly to my computer than Tiger did. It seems to run more programs better without any issues of them getting really slow (even Lightroom is better). Time machine I’m not a big fan of only because I don’t have a big enough external hard drive. And yes I did experience the fated blue screen of death issue that some people have been having and an archive install wasn’t an option for me so following Apple’s dirrections I used their “advanced” fix even though it’s really easy.

Next, I’ve gotten back to running and it’s been great although I am still having stomach problems and my doctor isn’t exactly sure what the issue is now and is thinking I need a capsule endoscopy to help the diagnosis.

Even more, Thomaston cross country is the Connecticut State Class S champions for the third year in a row and now is gunning to become the first class “S” team to advance to the New England Championships in Cumberland, Maine. Good luck to all teams in the state open tomorrow and see you there.

Yes I’ve still got more to tell the world. I’ve uploaded a few new pictures to my flickr account (box on the right) so please go check them out and leave me some comments, I’d appreciate it.

I think that’s it for now I’m sure I’ll have some more over the weekend and keep the comments coming.

This is a list that I think will come into use a lot when I being coding for my school’s ITLA project again this year. It’s a great list and I give a lot of credit and thanks to Vandelay Website Designs for compiling this list and making it available. This certainly will be bookmarked for future reference. You can check out this great list at their website.
