Business Professional's of America, or how the say it BPA


So, at my high school we have a club locally known as BPA. This club is usually the club where all the computer "geeks" go to but its actually more than that. BPA is a national organization that puts teens into a competition to test them with their business skill (computer stuff like MS Office). But before you can make it to the national level in competition you have to go through both district and state competitions.

This upcoming weekend, aka tomorow, is the district competition for our area of the state of good ole' Indiana. So tomorow i'll have to get up early and jump into my business attire and then go to competition against others students and test my skills with MS Excel and the rest of MS Office.

well, off i go!


cheers

Free Cake from Valve!

Come one come all! Get your free piece of cake. Only for a short time valve is giving "FOR FREE" all nvidia users a copy of the game Portal, from the Orange Box. I personally have this game and have played all the way through it. Its a great game and anyone who has nvidia should NOT pass up this opportunity!

Free Air Guitar!

Hmm, who would be stupid enough to fall for this one? Everyone who is anyone remembers jamming out on your very first air guitar to "Freebird" in your t-shirt and briefs. But this my friends, this is different. They are FREE air guitars.

Well although this is a cool sales pitch for the radio station. But still, you know that some dip-stick will walk by and try to pick one up.

Burnt! And Not Over Easy


Wow am I pooped! Today I've had two different really frustrating computer problems come up, and were not my problems either. The first was resetting a wireless router and the second was hooking up a new hard drive in an old computer.

The first was a pain, just because it started out easy but then got harder over time. I reset the router and then could finally access it. But then i had the problem of setting the internet back up. Which took about 2 hours and a long phone call to the tech support. All just to find out that i should have RESTART the stupid computer. That made me feel stupid.

Then the second, I worked to get a new hard drive in this computer. It didn't even work out and the computer just seemed just way too old to handle it. So i ended up screwing up the old hard drive and having no way to fix it. But my last resort is to take it to a computer 'wiz' in a nearby town so he can fix it.
so...

my brain is just fried.....

Sent from the "iTouch"

So I set up an email so that I can post on here from my iPod.
Hopefully this will make posting easier and I will be able to do it
more. This could be a new way to blog, but 'on the fly.'
