On the news today, a reporter said that Winehouse’s dad said deathly complications resulted from his daughter’s crack habit.

I ask–did anything LIVELY ever come from a crack habit?

I’m harsh, I know.

but I thought you had to be at least 25 to get IN to crack whore school, which means you’d need to be at least 27 to graduate with honors.. /me is confused!

She looks older than me. Â And for all the crack* I’ve done, that makes me feel better.

*and meth and coke and her… okay, I’m only kidding.

(I still feel better about looking younger than her though. Â Braces will do that. Â Ha!)

Oh, if you want to see Amy Winehouse looking busted, there is a website called

http://dlisted.com/

. Just click on her name on the right and see the articles. (It’s a celeb gossip page though.) The picsare bad, and it really lets you see just how sick she is. There is a close-up on her face that shows you what the drugs have done to her.

It’s sad really; I enjoy her music a great deal, and I don’t understand how she fell into this.

She’s so haggard, it’s pitiful. I don’t expect her to make it past 30.

someone stole my blimpmill idea!

June 7th, 2008

someone stole my blimpmill idea!

At the University of Michigan I was in an engineering society called Tau Beta Pi. For one semester I was the newsletter chair. In one of my newsletters (you can find it

here

), I described an idea for a new way to produce power. The idea was a blimp filled with helium with a tether long enough for it to sit in the jet stream. There would be windmills attached to it to convert the wind energy into electricity. Here is a highly scientific diagram from the newsletter, published on January 25th, 2005:

At the time I thought it might work, but I probably didn’t have the resources to build it. Just recently however, I came across this:

You can read more about it

here

. As you can clearly see, they stole my idea. Sure they came up with a more efficient design by making the blimp itself into the turbine, but I think if I talked to enough of my smart friends they could have helped me figure it out.

Everyone told me I was crazy at the time, but clearly I was crazy like fox!

Damn. You should hit them up with a lawsuit, the evidence is clearly on your side. Exhibit A makes fantastic courtroom material.

I think yours is cooler because of the visible electricity crawling down the tether. There would be a 24-7 fried migratory bird feast going on at the power station!

Wow, that has got to be rough. Are you going to persue any legal action against the perpetrators?
