Well, I honestly don't really like Apple. I do have a Mac Book Pro for work, and it's a great machine! They do several different things right. It suspends well, gets great battery life, is fast, looks good, and has some awesome features, like the little lights under the keyboard.

But the price! Man! If I bought this machine, I would have emptied out nearly my whole bank account. They are EXPENSIVE.

Well, after playing around with the Python implementation of an ICAP server, I've discovered how buggy and unreliable it is. It would crash occasionally and sometimes would just not answer requests. The way they decided to do plugins was also... strange. Combine these with the fact that you have to do quite a few code changes just to get it to run on a modern computer, and I decided that it was time to try something else.

Truth tables are kind of a pain in the butt. Last night I had to make a 4x4 one and each variable has 2 possibilites. In case you weren't aware, that's 2^4 possibilities, or 16. That means that there will be 16 rows. Now, I found a good pattern for getting all of the values. Starting with the very right most column, you alternate T and F for each one. The next column to the left, you alternate every 2. So it goes T, T, F, F, T, T, etc. The next goes in groups of 4. T, T, T, T, F, F, F, F, etc. The next column goes in groups of 8.

Well, I tried about 10 different things to get my friends iPhone to work on T-Mobile. One of the biggest issues I was having was that the phone wasn't even activated yet, and as such, I couldn't do a damned thing! All that I could do was slide a little bar and call "Emergency Services." I didn't really consider this an emergency, so I let it be.

I was at a park last night in Spanish Fork and on a little rock wall, somebody had written "Ass wholes" on one of the signs. Now, it's stupid enough that people are writing cuss words on a children's playground, but spelling it wrong, too? What were they trying to say, "It's the whole ass!" I now understand why many people see people who swear as uneducated and stupid. It all makes sense. So, at the very least, spell things right. But also, you can be a lot less stupid in your choice of where you write things.

My name is Jessie Adan Morris. I live in Utah, near Provo. I’m currently 17 years old and a senior in high school; an early college high school, as a matter of fact. The school I go to is called UCAS, and stands for Utah County Academy of Science. It’s on UVU’s campus, and as such, I go to UVU as well. As I mentioned, I’m a senior in high school. I’m also going to have my associates degree when I graduate from High School. After that my plans are to go to MIT, studying to either be an engineer (either chemical or mechanical) or to get a computer science degree and become a programmer.

I may only be 17, however I am not your average 17 year old. Recently, with all this talk of the health care reform, only one thought really comes to my mind. Where’s the competition? What was this country founded on? Capitalism, that’s what! If the government is controlling a majority of the sector of health insurance, who is there to compete with them? Nobody, and here’s why.
