Internet and Digital Media Legislature of the U.S. Congress 12-15-02
Revision Date: 7-29-06
Type: Academic
Views: 331		 Complete

This is a paper I did for a high school Government class. It could be any topic related to government, so I chose to examine the legislature on computers and the Internet in the U.S. Congress. It turned out to be a rather difficult paper to research; I had to use the Library of Congress website extensively. But the paper is an interesting read to be sure.

In the second part of American Literature, my essays miraculously became more complex and lengthy. I covered some intense subjects like entropy and Schrödinger's Cat. I also rewrote the last half of Jack London’s "To Build a Fire".


Snake's Diablo II Shrine 4-28-01
Revision Date: 8-03-06
Type: Gaming
Views: 401		 Complete

I was so excited about finishing my first RPG, Diablo 2, that I created this page to show a bunch of screenshots from it. It has a pretty image map that links to item stats, but generally wouldn't be too interesting except for people that haven't played Diablo 2.

This guide was primarily for people with limited bandwidth using the controversial new version of Morpheus, a file sharing app. Not many people have less than a broadband connection anymore and even fewer still use Morpheus, but here's the complete column anyways.

WebQuest: Gladiators and the Arenas of Ancient Rome 6-08-01
Revision Date: 3-21-07
Type: Academic
Views: 945		 Complete

As a sort of final project for 10th grade English, we were given a list of ideas to choose from, one of them being to do a "Webquest". I chose to do this Webquest, of course. I did the gladiator topic because I was excited about gladiators after having recently seen the 2000 movie about them. The project consists mostly of four research papers and an amusing java game to quiz visitors on the research, as well as some links, pretty pictures, and such. It is suitable for classroom use, as it was originally for presentation anyways.

This is a brief paper on Kangaroos that I did for Advanced Biology class. The paper is also famous for the picture of a kangaroo cleaning its own testicles.


Jihad!? 11-30-04
Revision Date: 5-23-08
Type: Academic
Views: 368		 Complete

I did this term paper for my second college English class. It was supposed to be on a topic related to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. I chose to investigate the Muslim religion and find out why jihad is a call to terrorism. I researched for a month trying to write an as unbiased paper as possible. However, it is difficult to do so without any firsthand knowledge of Muslims or Islam.


Antlions 10-17-02
Revision Date: 6-05-08
Type: Academic
Views: 732		 Complete

This is a short research paper I did for my Advanced Biology class in high school. We were supposed to observe an organism for a while and then report on our findings with additional research. So I chose ant lions because they're totally awesome and easy to find but little-known. This paper also includes some original pictures taken by me; in a couple, I actually scanned an ant lion.


Parallel Computing Projects for Academic Environments 12-13-07
Revision Date: 7-28-08
Type: Academic
Views: 2035		 Abandoned

This paper was done for a collaborative recommendation report in Technical Writing (yes, it was a required course), but it ended up being completely uncollaborative and all my own work. And as I was alone, two sections are missing that were originally planned. Nevertheless, I spent a solid month doing almost nothing but researching this paper. So, while it probably has some incorrect facts here and there, it is nothing but extensive.

The purpose of this report was to give students and instructors enough information to get started with parallel computing for hands-on projects.


Tony the Worm 10-17-02
Revision Date: 8-22-08
Type: Academic
Views: 148		 Complete

Tony the Worm is a parody on a "children's story" I created for 12th grade English class. It's obviously a little too adult for children, but it does have a serious message. Besides that, everyone who reads it thinks it's absolutely hilarious. It was done completely with Paint Shop Pro 7.

Revision Date: 9-10-08
Type: Hardware
Views: 859		 Complete

I did this guide back in the day when people were still trying to overclock and tweak every little bit of performance out of their systems. I did a helluva lot of tests and benchmarks with every tweak I could muster for my Abit VT6X4; and when I came across a huge memory tweak, I had to write it up in this article. Later, video card tweaks were also added. Any user of a VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset may find this guide useful.

In 2001, I began this short-lived experiment into ghetto computer modding. It's generally a rip-off of other ideas at the time, but some new stuff; most are of the case mod type.

When I was upgrading my video card from a GeForce 2 Ultra to a Radeon 9600XT, I thought it'd be a good idea to document what I did for the novice upgrader. It covers the steps to making an educated buying decision and trouble-free installation with minimal technical knowledge.

Aspects of Overpopulation 4-07-08
Revision Date: 2-21-09
Type: Academic
Views: 1195		 Complete

This is about the only decent thing to come out of my final English course in college. The whole class was some bullshit about community service projects, but luckily, I was able to twist the noob professor's arm enough to let me do a public service announcement style project. The final fruits of this project was to be an (as of yet unfinished) video and the formal research paper presented here.

There's some proper formal dribble (Abstract and Executive Summary) at the beginning, but the rest of the paper is pure information. However, my cynical tone bleeds through into some areas, and some (less intelligent) people may disagree with any personal beliefs presented as fact on some points. Still, this is definitely a good overview to get one into the most important issue facing our world.

Documentation for these programs is also provided where available.


How To Deus 4-22-02
Revision Date: 5-17-09
Type: Gaming
Views: 2635		 Complete

This is a guide that I created based on my love for the game Deus Ex. It's such an open-ended game, that you really do have to play it several times to find everything. This column is mainly a list of strategies and hidden items that I've found over many years of playing Deus Ex, and not a walkthrough.


Parallel Programming with PVM 6-13-09
Revision Date: 6-13-09
Type: Academic
Views: 2356		 Complete

This is an interesting and helpful but decidedly not revolutionary article on a project I did during my last semester of college. The project was just a simple parallel program to be ran and benchmarked on both a cluster of computers and a multicore computer. The article contains a Flash version of a PowerPoint presentation I gave, a detailed explanation of every slide in the presentation, the final source code and benchmarks from the project, and some reference links.
