Roommate Update
Dad bought me an extra medium pizza to take home after eating out yesterday, after all Pizza Hut has the "regular price five bucks five bucks five bucks deal". Being that this post is written under the "Roommate Update" heading, I think some of the astute readers may see where this is going.
I went upstairs to grab a slice of pizza and discovered that all but two of the slices of pizza were gone! I could hardly believe my eyes. Nobody was here and it's a good thing too because my sister-inlaw's swearing fit to the magazine subscription people would have paled in comparison to the obscenities that I was spewing. Oh I was so mad, and hungry! I don't really have any other food to eat right now. I am still in shock that he could be so rude.

Dad Visits Lethbridge
Zone finals for the Southern Alberta 4A high school basketball teams are on now and Dad is visiting from Medicine Hat to watch the games. George Hamilton called him up and invited him to come. Dad isn't the biggest fan of watching* basketball so he skipped out of watching a couple of games to eat supper with Anna-Maria and I. We had some really good pizza (pi) from Pizza Hut, and had a good time listening to Dad's war stories**.
Another of Dad's stories was that as a University Student he performed in a play that his roommate was directing. This was something that I had never known about him***. Apparently his roommate had to beg him to be in the play and reluctantly he agreed. Well what he didn't know was that he had to practice the play everyday for 4 weeks! He wasn't too happy about all the rehearsing everyday. But when the night of their single performance arrived approximately 800 people showed up to watch. Dad said that with all the rehearsing they actually did a really good job and that now looking back on the event it gives him a great feeling of accomplishment. He even sang in this play and in those days that was quite out of the ordinary for Dad****.
* Dad was a very good basketball player in high school and university.
** It is a running joke with him that he fought in the Vietnam War.
*** The last time we were at Pizza Hut I also learned something about Dad that I didn't know before but will refrain from sharing at this time.
**** Dad has become quite the musician these days playing many instruments and not feeling too shy about adding vocals to his music.

Happy Pi Day
Today's date is: 03/14 which just happens to be Pi day. The celebration started at 1:59, Why? The first six digits in pi of course! (3.14159) I think Anna and I should celebrate by having a contest of who can recite the most approximate value of pi. The winner gets what else, but a pie! What will you do for Pi Day?

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein
It would have been more cool if Einstein's birthday was on the 12th, like mine. You're probably wondering just how smart was he?

Birthday Dinner and New Media Update
We had a really good time eating out last night. Anna-Maria took me and her roommate out to The Keg. It was really good. We were at the restaurant for over 2 hours! I didn't even realize how fast time was flying, and as a consequence of our late evening was forced to do my homework deep into the night. The assignment consisted of scanning some images out of National Geographic and then manipulating them so that there would be no copyright issues with the final project. I finally got to bed at 2:30 and even then I still had homework that I finished up this morning before class.
I've been doing really well on my assignments lately. That "shrinking" video that I posted here the other day got 10 out of 10. I'm starting to feel a little stressed about the final assignment though, I haven't really even started it yet. Well that's it for my break.

How Hydrogen Can Save America
I found this link to Wired Magazine about the pros and cons of moving to a hydrogen energy based society. I'll summarize for those not wanting to read the article. The author believes that in order for hydrogen to be a viable solution the government has five major obstacles to deal with simultaneously:
1. Solve the hydrogen fuel-tank problem.
2. Encourage mass production of fuel cell vehicles.
3. Convert the nation's fueling infrastructure to hydrogen.
4. Ramp up hydrogen production.
5. Mount a public campaign to sell the hydrogen economy.
Hydrogen Engines have been around for a while. Their biggest problem is carrying enough hydrogen for 400 miles of driving - the range consumers generally expect. What is the answer to problem number one? $15 Billion in government investing. (I'm not sure how he comes up with this figure).
Mass production of fuel-celled vehicles is the next problem. Again money is the solution. The author feels that the Bush administration should allocate $10 billion in incentive to automakers. Why $10 billion? Well it is a nice round number.
Converting the nation's fueling infrastructure to hydrogen is another big problem with the same "easy" answer. Throw more money at it. The White House should ask for $5 billion to help gas stations convert to hydrogen stations, and the administration should also set aside $10 billion for interest free loans to oil companies in order to help them make the transition to producing mass amounts of hydrogen.
The next step is to ramp up the hydrogen production by looking at new sources of the element. Nuclear power has made huge leaps in efficiency and environmental friendliness. Using this as a source of electricity and then using the process of hydrolysis to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen.
The last obstacle that needs to be addressed is just a simple matter of advertising their objective to the nation. If the people support it right away, then it will make the transition faster and actually save money in the long run. $25 billion in tax rebates for those using the new technology, and another $1 billion for advertisements. As the author notes, $1 billion is what Nike spends on advertising in a year.
Ok, now for my personal take on the story. The author feels that with massive amounts of spending that a fuel-celled economy is possible within ten years. I think that would be great, if that were actually the case, but it seems to me that it most likely will not happen. I guess a good analogy is the US switching to the metric system. If they had done it when they had the chance, they might have pulled it off, but now they've waited too long and everyday it just gets harder and harder to switch. A country like China that has an enormous population but not a lot of gasoline based infrastructure (relative to its population) is in a much better position to implement the new technology. If the US doesn't act, they may end up behind in technology to China - so maybe if they felt the pressure of losing the "hydrogen race" ten years would be possible.

My Birthday
For my birthday present, Anna-Maria bought me a new wet-suit. I'm going to use it if I get a job at the pool teaching lessens and of course for Kayaking this summer. I'm already really excited to go kayaking with it. I wish this snow and cold weather would go away! Speaking of snow, the other day it snowed quite a bit and it's one of the first times that I didn't get around to shovelling the snow that day. Well the next day it was really warm and the snow turned into a thick slippery sheet of ice all the way up my walk. As luck would have it, that evening Anna-Maria came over to my house and while walking up the steps she slipped and bashed her shin! (cue scary music now - dun dun dah!!) She's ok folks, no worries, just a small bruise and perhaps some injured pride.

Speaking of Death
When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmmmmmm, boy.
Also when you die, if you go somewhere where they ask you a bunch of questions about your life and what you learned and all, I think a good way to get out of it is just to say, "No speaka English."

It's my BIRTHDAY!!!!
I've been alive for 24 years to the day. As a kid I remember thinking that being 24 would be so old. Now I'm thinking, "man 24 is so young, I haven't even started to live life yet". But seriously as I sit here and reflect on what it's like to be almost a quarter of a century old, I can't help but think only three more quarters to go. I think I will make a hundred. It wouldn't be that hard. Some of the things that increase your odds of living long are having a pet or getting married. They say that marriage specifically adds 10 years to your life expectancy! However I'm just not interested in marriage yet. Twenty-four is how old Mom was when she got married so it's not like I'm too young. The thing is, when it comes right down to it, I think I'm happy the way I am. Don't get me wrong, I really love Anna-Maria and don't want to break up with her at all, but I'm not ready to settle down and start having kids. If living my life the way I do is against statistics then that's fine by me. Bring on the Grim Reaper and we'll stare each other down - eye to eye. I am not afraid to live my life to the fullest and as for statistics - I think they are for wimps.

Linux Geek Update
As promised here is the report on my evening at the Linux meeting. First off I was surprised at the very high ratio of girls there. It may have been as high as 1 girl for every 10 guys! Ok, it wasn't as geeky as a Star Trek convention and only one person came dressed up as a klingon. (Actually I'm not sure he was dressed up). Ok but seriously I actually had a good time. I skipped supper specifically because I thought there would be pizza there, but there was such a huge turn out that it was all gone before it was my turn to go up and get some. I did learn a few things though and I'm planning on setting up my own Linux server on the old Pentium 130. I plan to setup a blog server so that we can choose to host this site there (depending on how good the connection actually turns out to be and how well the software works.)

Disneyland Auditions
Anna-Maria and I are strongly considering going to Edmonton on the 28th of March to audition for a job at Disneyland. I would have to get a working visa first though and I am not sure if that will be possible, given the short amount of time I have to do it. It would be really cool to work at Disneyland though. I'll keep you updated.

Linux Meeting
There is a meeting tonight at the University that is a hands-on experience learning to install and use Linux. I'm thinking the majority of people there tonight will be short of "hands-on" experience, if you get my drift. I can't be too harsh because after all I am going. At least if it a major geek fest I'll still be ahead: free pizza! Anyway this post is just to whet your curiosity and build up suspense for my next post.

New Video for Download
Ok I kind of like this one (update: video offline), even though the effects are really cheezy. Get it while you can, I'm not sure if I'll leave these on the web forever.

Dad's in Town
Apparently Dad is in Lethbridge tonight. I saw a note on my table that said he stopped by, too bad I missed him. I was having dinner with Anna-Maria and her roommate. Anna's Mom gave her a huge laundry basket full of food to take home with her, and we were hitting it hard tonight. We had some really good roast beef and instant potatoes. I tried a brustle sprout and I must say I should have gone with my instincts. Brussle sprouts are bad. That's why on TV sitcoms nobody likes them. They are bad. But the meal was good and I wish I had more of it instead of being stuck here at the school waiting for my video to render. Also I need to be looking up some music for the background and I'll likely find something off of flashkit.com. If you have any other good sites for music give me a shout out.

New Media Update
I've been working on a new video project since lunch time. I am really sick of it. I never realized how much work it was going to be trying to use a green screen and making it look realistic. I guess some tips I have to offer are that you want to make sure the green screen is exactly the same colour all over and that objects / people you are filming not only aren't wearing green but are wearing dark colours that contrast well. I still have to do another project for tomorrow and I had to skip swimming again today because I need to get this work done. Next Thursday I have another video due, this time it has to have a Star Trek effect of beaming someone into screen. If either of these two projects turn out I'll post them here.

The Meliorist Article
The previous resident of my house (the owner's son actually) was mentioned in the University paper this week. In the "from the Editor's Desk" section, the editor was ranting about why he doesn't participate in the large number protests that have been happening lately. He sites the ex-resident of my house as an example:
"Those who were here two years ago will remember the actions of Stu Crawford, local activist extrordannaire. Perhaps if Coulee Stu did not wear the same clothes every day and stink like a mixture of wet cat and cheese, people would have been willing to listen to him, instead of brushing him off everytime he was near."

Back in Lethbridge
Anna-Maria and I arrived back in Medicine Hat last night too, and the roads to Lethbridge were a little snowy but judging by Gary's description not as bad as to Calgary. We talked a bit but mostly we listened to the first tape of "The Lord of the Rings". I thought it would be fun - especially seeing how much Anna loves the movies but frankly it was quite boring. We probably will never listen to the rest of the tapes.

George Bush's Speech
According to the BBC, Bush's handlers have been trying to get him invited to address the European Parliament. The one caveat being that a standing ovation would be guaranteed. (scroll down to # 7 on the list).
Question: What exactly would happen if a standing ovation was promised and never delivered?
Answer: Regime change.

Medicine Hat
Anna and I have arrived in Medicine Hat. We had to make a quick stop at her parents house to drop off some groceries that needed to be in the freezer (it doesn't matter that it's aproximately -40 degrees outside). The trip was nice; Anna and I had a good time just chatting with each other all the way here. We decided that we would like to move to southern California this summer and get jobs working at Disneyland. Frankly I can't think of any good reason not to. It looks like it's time to go home so that's it for this entry.

Jeff Milner Book Review: Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
As some of you astute readers may remember, I've been reading a book online called Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. I just finished it, and now I'd like to write a little book review. Now I'm going to be quite honest with you (brace yourself, here comes the self deprecation). I'm not exactly an expert on books. I haven't really read a lot of them. I mean I did read a bunch of Stephen King novels and I occasionally like to pick up this or that to pass the time. But as I said I'm not exactly a literary expert, and to make matters worse my writing ability is mediocre at best. So here it is - the first book report I've ever done that wasn't for grades. Coincidentally I think it's the first book report that I've ever done after having actually read the novel. Ok, enough rambling, it's time to get down to business.
Cory Doctorow's short novel, "Down and Out in the Magical Kingdom" is set in the future, I'm guessing a couple hundred years. In the future there's no more scarcity, it's very Utopian and it's kind of like Star Trek where you don't need money to get things. Also, in this world, the people don't die. They save their identity's to a backup and when death or illness sets in, somebody does you the favor of restoring you from back-up. There is a lot more sci-fi stuff that I won't bog you down with now, instead I'll move on to the meat of the story. Julius, the protagonist, is a cast member at Disney World, (he's an important one - an Ad Hoc.) The trouble starts to brew when Debra, another Ad Hoc starts making changes to the rides. Julius is worried about her taking over the Haunted Mansion and taking the history out of it by having "scary haunted mansion experiences" pumped straight into your brain instead of the usual way of actually experiencing a scary mansion. I think my philosophy teacher would really dig this. (On a side note I'm thinking of asking him for some design tips, I love the work he's done). Well I digress. . . Julius has to stop Debra, meanwhile keeping the other Ad Hoc's and guests happy. Overall I really liked the novel and found myself imagining what life would be like if I lived in Doctorow's world. "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" was fun, cheap, and best of all it only took a few hours to read (it's just 10 small chapters).
Now you can see why I could never break 78% in English class. Maybe I can plagerize a better review from Amazon.com. I guess I was never meant to be a writer.
What am I going to do now? Well I'd like to go to Disneyland, but instead I think I'll go home and get some lunch.

Music Video Update
I know some of you have been returning everyday to see my new music video. I'm not going to lie to you - you may be extremely disappointed in this sucker, but nevertheless here it is (update: it's been removed) in all it's potential glory. I apologize for the slowness of the server, it's just that I unknowingly subscribed to a really BAD service provider. Anyway give a shout out if you like the video, or if you hate it, or if you watched it, or if you didn't watch it. (I'm sure you get the idea).

Roommate Update
I've come to the conclusion that my roommate isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Don't get me wrong he seems like a smart enough guy, but he definitely doesn't think long term. When I say long term, I actually mean a couple weeks. For example, last night I came home to find my roommate in the kitchen sporting a brand new piercing in his bottom lip. Some of you reading this may think - "Man! Jeff's roommate is so cool!" He probably thinks he's pretty cool too, but he won't think he's so cool when: #1. the money spent on a piercing would have come in real handy for food, and #2 when he can't get a job because no one wants to hire someone with a piercing on his face.

Update (or pointless post - whichever you prefer)
I haven't been feeling the greatest lately. I feel a little behind in school and just not my usual happy self. I think it's just one of those days though. I'll probably be feeling better by this afternoon. In fact I'm starting to feel better already. Maybe it's the soft glow of the University's fancy-smancy iMac's, or maybe it's just the cool refreshing sounds of fingers typing a new blog post. I'm not sure, but it doesn't really matter anyway.

Inheritance Update
Mom, Dad, Wally, and Helga are back in Alberta. They stopped by tonight on their way to Raymond. It doesn't sound like there is going to be much of an inheritance. Also of interest - apparently the house was in a real sorry state. It was like one of those weirdo houses that you hear about on the news where they have to wear gas masks to go inside because it stinks so bad. Dad lost his lunch - twice! He almost threw up a third time from the stench, but mom told him to just get out and stay out. The State already had an auction arranged but they didn't stick around for it because they had no room to take anything home anyway and they didn't want to be there in the event that good stuff was being sold really cheaply. They'd rather not know I guess. There were a couple vehicles and maybe a couple thousand for those but that's probably optimistic. If anyone buys the house it will be for the lot, the building itself needs to be razed. More details when I get them.

Stop Action Jackson
I'm going to make another stop action movie tonight with Anna and her roommate. This one is going to be good! While you are waiting for me to finish it and post it online, check out this new book, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow - you know the guy from BoingBoing. I really like it so far - I've already read the first 3 chapters. You can read it too.

Culture Jamming
Is it wrong to block ads on my free site? I feel so conflicted. I would make this post longer but I need to get to school, so here is some food for thought.
Ok just one other thing. I was reading the adbuster's site and came across this (scroll down to the bottom or just read it here):
"Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4).
Now don't get me wrong. I don't think western powers should be attacking Iraq either. But I just want to point out that the scriptural quote out of the Old Testament is taken way out of context. In fact, the actual context would imply that wars are a part of our lives today and only when Isaiah's prophesy is fulfilled will nations stop going to war against each other. That's my rant for the day - so far (the day is young).

Web Site Update
I was about to setup some stuff with my web server this morning when I accidently typed http://www.one2host.net instead of http://www.one2host.com. What I discovered is that some guy, timmbbo(at)yahoo.com, has a site dedicated to sharing with the world how bad one2host's services are. I wish I would have known about his site before I signed up with one2host. Anyway in the remote chance that anyone is thinking about setting up their own domain and reading this site, then a good review site is 100 Best Hosting Companies (one2host didn't make the list.)

Old acquaintances
Today I ran into Bob Shimbashi at the Safeway here in Lethbridge. It has been a LONG LONG time since I've seen that guy. I always thought he moved to Provo when he moved away, but it turns out he originally moved from Provo when he came to Medicine Hat and now he's been living in Coaldale ever since.
You're probably not wondering why I was at Safeway in the first place. You probably think it was to get groceries. Well you'd be right about that, but the groceries I got are for Steve and Monique Meldrum's POT-LUCK TACO PARTY (tm). I'll try and shoot a few pics tonight if opportunity arises and then post them for the world to see. And when I say world, I actually mean you. Yes you the only person that reads the archives from month to month. Ok I actually mean me.

Roommate News
My roommate came home last night. This is Scott, my first roommate - the one that rarely shows his face. He's the best roommate ever. Anyway he came home sometime around 4:00 in the morning. He's not exactly sure when - I guess he may have been a little intoxicated. I didn't even realize he was here until I got up to go swimming. After swimming I came home and he told me that last night he got into a huge bar fight with 4 other guys. Apparently one of them hit his girlfriend, and he retaliated - well three other guys got into the fight and as Scott relates the story, he tells me that he kicked all four of their asses. I guess they never realized he is a bouncer and is some kind of Karate black belt. He didn't look bad at all as far as cuts or bruises go, but he was really sort of mad about the fact that they ripped his favorite shirt.
Room Mate News Part Duex
Jason is gone to Calgary. He is having his girlfriend look after the rabbit!!? Speaking of the rabbit it was beginning to really STINK! For some reason I wasn't sure if it was the rabbit or Jason, so I didn't say anything. Luckily for me Anna-Maria mentioned to him that it was time for him to clean out the cage. He asked, "Does it really smell?" When Anna confirmed that yes she could smell it right when she walked in the door he just responded that, "I must be immune to it". You wouldn't believe how much better my house smells now.
Tepee Prize
I forgot to mention that when I was in Medicine Hat and I was pulling out of the driveway I heard on the radio that they were giving out free film as a prize. What you had to do was find the lady in the Taco Time cruiser and viola - you win! I thought well that would be nice but I'll never win anything like that, but then she said I'm in Southridge at the Tepee. Things couldn't have worked out much better for me, so I drove right over there and won a free 24 roll of film and two tickets to the play, "Noises Off". I haven't decided if I'm actually going to take Anna-Maria yet (it's showing in Medicine Hat this weekend and next weekend only) because I don't know how much I want to be driving that road. (As you will see what I mean soon).
Swimming in the Hat
There is a swim meet in Medicine Hat on the 14th and 15th. I really should enter it but that will mean going to Medicine Hat two weekends in a row. I'm sure Mom and Dad will be so happy. The other reason that I sort of don't want to enter this meet is because I'll have to pay the $30 entry fee, not to mention I'm kind of out of shape from not practicing much lately. I better bite the bullet and just go.
Anna-Maria's Audition in Calgary
Anna-Maria is auditioning for York University on Monday in Calgary. I don't think I'll go because that will mean skipping more swim practices and missing my music 1000 class. She is pretty excited and a little stressed out about it. I'm confident that she will do great. She has to read two monologues and sing for them. Probably the worst part for her, if this is actually true, is that she heard that the auditions are done with everyone that is auditioning watching all the others preform. She thinks that's quite mean of them... and is specifically concerned about how she will feel if someone else preforms the same monologue or song as her. I told her, just do it better than them. I have such good advice don't I?
Dinner at the New Spring Family Restaurant
Last night Anna-Maria, her friend Lynley and I went to the Theatre Xtra play called, "The Transfiguration of Benno Blimpie". It was a serious play about a fat kid who is picked on and has a less than wonderful family life. Ah, I don't think I'd recommend seeing this one because frankly it's pretty depressing. Anyway before the show, we went for Chinese food (which incidentally reminds me what I'm going to have for lunch). We ran into Tracie's grandma, grandpa, and cousins. They told me to say hi to Gary and Tracie, so "Hi guys". That, my blog reading friends, about wraps up this very long post.
