( 2.9 / 113 )A couple updates for everyone taking notes:
1)I am back in Orlando right now for the weekend. I'm moving some of my stuff back into my apartment here, which is nice. Means less hauling later. I'm kinda bored seeing as its finals week and everybody's cramming and studying or somewhere else, but I am going to relax and enjoy this weekend. I need some Huey Magoo's chicken tenders. I'm having withdrawal.
2)On Thursday, I presented a bill. A bill to the Senate Committee on Higher Education. I never felt my heart race as fast as it did when I got up and stood up in front of the Senators and presented. But I did it. The bill died, but I did it. it was an experience I will NEVER forget.
3)I had a phone interview for a job with UCF's SGA as their Webmaster. I have never done a phone interview, so, I don't know how it went. I hope it went well.
So, thats been my week.
I'm going to bed.

( 2.9 / 119 )PENGUINS!
Penguins were at the capital today.
Cute little warm blooded penguins were being carted around the Senate Office Building today and were also on the senate floor.

( 2.8 / 126 )Grindhouse is an amazing 3.5 hours of time spent.
The movie starts off with Rodriquez's movie: Planet Terror. A campy zombie-esque movie complete with simulated missing reels, bad audio, color fades, and frame artifacts.
The Tarantino flick that comes after Planet Terror is called Death Proof. Its 45 minutes of buildup, then 45 minutes of pure adrenaline. I love Zoe btw.
The included fake trailers are icing on the cake, and the fake trailer Machete is actually being made into a full length direct to DVD movie.
I give it out 94,354 out of 94,600.

( 2.9 / 139 )It's been a couple of days since i have been home relaxing. I needed this. Sunday i went and played paintball with a very cool bunch of people. My team, the "Hell's Mayors", was there as usual, and we had a group of about 10 from citrix show up.
My ION shot amazingly well. I marked people left and right. It was great. I did get bunkered by a couple of newbies who didnt know to stop shooting after I got hit, but I startled tem so its no surprise they kept firing. All in all, a very good day.
I have been hanging out at FAU a lot these past few days. It's nice to be back at what will be my first alma mater. I love UCF. But right now, i have so many memories with FAU, Ive missed it. I have been hanging out with so many of my old friends, and colleagues, I haven't been this happy in a long while.
Alex and Josh's apartment kicks ass btw. I have been going there every night. I have finally gotten to see HDTV in its (semi-)full glory. 1080i American Chopper is Amazing!
The apartment is very nice. Its going to suit them very well, and I'm glad it feels like home to both them and to me.
Happy Passover to everyone. I hope the holiday is finding you well.
To all my friends and co-workers in Tally: I'll be back soon enough. I miss you guys too.

( 2.9 / 118 )I made it back to Orlando safely. Tommorow my mom will be picking me up, and I will be spending the week in Broward relaxing, celebrating passover, and clearing my head.
I will be playing paintball with my team, the Hell's Mayors, on sunday. That should be fun. It is also my grandma's birthday on sunday, as well as my friend Chris.
Happy Birthdays!

( 2.9 / 133 )I am an FAU Alumni. I earned my AA from FAU last year and am currently finishing my Bachelors at UCF. That said, I was heavily involved in FAU's SGA for a couple of years and I must say, this years elections systems were horribly handled.
Student Affairs got rid of a perfectly working program that IRM had created that allowed us to peer review the code, and setup in house a voting system that was secure, safe, and simple.
This year, SA (not SGA) went with VOTENET.com to outsource the voting system. They used student money to pay for this system. A system that is not open to people viewing the code. A system with no obtainable paper trail.
There were also numerous abuses of internet security. Running this program over unsecured WiFi. While yes, the program was run over SSL, which adds a ton of security, the initial layer is still unsecured.
The system is run off a third party website. It would be trivial to modify a website to look like the current voting website and use that to phish students social security numbers.
Which brings me to my third point! WHY ARE THEY USING SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS?!?!?! The last few years we have received random pins and last year it used our MyFAU password.
I have spoken to votenet, and while they wouldn't tell me how much FAU has spent on their program, they did tell me they spent money on it, and that if I had questions I should contact SA, as they would not release any information.
They ARE deciding whether or not to give me a demo account so i can test the reliability and accountability of their software.
They said in their 6 years of business, I am only the SECOND person to question their system. We as students need to be more concerned about this.
If I was running for SGA, I would DEFIANTLY be disputing this years election based on the insecure nature of the election software.

( 2.9 / 154 )Today, the National guard setup downstairs in the Capital Courtyard. It was amazing to say the least. I got a ton of pictures of military aircraft and military weapons. I got to hold a .50 calibur sniper rifle. 30lbs of Kick Your Ass Power. Amazing.
The Governor was also there speaking about the Guard. Got some nice pictures of the Governor Crist. All in all, a good day.

( 2.9 / 102 )Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!
I just drove 460 miles from one end of that state to the other, picked up Nikki, and went down to South Florida. It was so worth it. My buddies threw one hell of a house warming party. I miss this place so much.
I am going to be very homesick once Monday rolls around. I am going to have to drive another 460 miles this morning, back up to Tallahassee. I had to rent a rental car since my car is leaking oil (again). This internship is tough. The work is a lot of fun, but everything going on in my life around it is so stressful.
At least in Orlando I don't need a car.
Anyways, Happy St. Patty's day, and Happy Birthday Max!

( 3 / 113 )This week was a lot of fun.
Work ramped up and I survived the first week of our busy season. I think I will make it.
A bunch of my old FAU buddies came up to see me and I had an amazing time. We drove around town, saw FSU, watched some people get drunk who shouldn't have. A good time.
I started another project.
The Free Radio Project.
I currently have a radio stream, streaming some indie music.
