Wikipedia Article of the Week #9 and Some Stats

So, other than Thanksgiving having come and gone ands the discouraging lack of leftovers a few days later (we, luckily enough, still have another tub of potatoes), not much has happened other than the fact that I went skiing on Friday.

Looking back at last week's WAoW (the abbreviation of Wikipedia Article of the Week), I realized that I didn't do what I should've done. When it was around Halloween, as you all may remember, I did an article about Halloween. So, naturally, last time, i should have done Thanksgiving, but I didn't. Well, to compensate you, here is this week's article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)

Yup.

So, here are some statistics about my blog at the current moment, mainly revolving around my international visitors.
United States (I know it's not "international" for MOST of us): 431 visits.
South Korea: 41 visits.
United Kingdom: 13 visits.
Malaysia: 2 visits.
Russia: 2 visits.
Germany: 1 visit.
Brazil: 1 visit.

All in all, that's about 60 international visits. That's pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

One last thing that I learned while typing this post: typing with a finger that has a band-aid on it from peeling potatoes is very difficult.

More Than Your Average Eighth Wikipedia Article of the Week

Well, well, well. Another week has come and gone, and that means yet another post. But guess what! I was wrong last week. This post is actually going to be VERY interesting, with viruses, computer errors, and some more.

Alrighty then, to get this out of the way, here's the Wikipedia Article of the Week. So, to coincide with my aforementioned virus, today, I was too sick to go to church. So, I watched BYU TV all day long. I saw one and a half hours of Music and the Spoken Word, The Generations Project, and an episode of LDS Lives. The episode was about... well, you'll find out if you click this link.

To tell you the truth, I expected that article to be much longer. Oh well, at least this article is longer than usual.
I actually got this from one of my friends. Computers can be so funny when they think that they're smarter than you when it comes to grammar. As my computer-centralized uncle said (or says): "The computer is only as smart as the person who programs it." Too true, too true.

Okay, now this one was found by me. Well, my mom saw it before me, but I was the one who recorded this. "The following pages have become unresponsive... kill them." I didn't know that there were internet hit-lists. I guess we learn something new every day, or cada dia for you speakers of Spanish.


This one, I also found. You'll need to click on this.

So, in other news... its been snowing here, on and off all weekend, but it's not going right now. I've also been sick all weekend. Any correlation? ...I hope not. And do you remember that woodpecker from the last post? He's still at it.

Wikipedia Article of the Week #7

Okay, this week's been too busy for me to gather up an interesting post idea. Maybe, once I leave home in f(x) amount of years, I'll be able to create more interesting posts more often. So, here it is, the seventh article of the week.

This week, it's Unix, partially because I already pulled it up in the Wiki and it'll be easy to copy and paste. Here ya go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix

I'm not entirely sure what it's about, but... oh well.

Actually, never mind that earlier portion of the post: something interesting is occurring here. There's this woodpecker in the neighborhood that seems to like our house very much. In fact, I just had to go outside and scare it off earlier. It's actually kind of annoying, because when it starts pecking, you can hear it: thump-thump-thump. Thump-thump-thump. And it won't go away, either, until it gets scared off. But even then, it just returns a day or so later. Cool looking bird, poor nasty habit.

And, in other news, in health, we watched the five-minute computer animated video about dedete-ded-etes (or germs). Besides the overall poor animation quality of the video (compared to today's standards, and even some standards back then) and the poor acting, the people who threw it together managed tom misspell scary as "scarey." Wow.

So, besides that, not much is occurring, beside the writing contest at school and me creating my own logo this week. This may or may not be the most interesting post for a while (unless you are utterly captivated by Wikipedia articles), but when I do create an interesting post it'll tell the world via Facebook.

Later!

Wikipedia Article of the Week #6

Nothin' much goin' on in my head, so here it is: the weekly Wikipedia article! This week it's the calculus-based math thing, the derivative. That's what's going on in math right now, and as it turns out, it can help me with physics. The sad thing is, however, I'm past the unit in physics in which that can help me.

...sometimes it's hard, sometimes its not. Go figure.
 Oh, and one last thing:I got a glob of blueberry play-doh today in Sunday school. It's so cool!
