The Tardis in full size

This month im hoping to build one. Anyone who donates 1$ or more gets their name on the sponsors plaque on the inside. Going to build it full size to scale to the 2005-present prop with accurate look and interior as well as the noise and flashing light.

Bought the Vuzix Wrap920

So a little while ago I finally bought those damned glasses. Dropped 400$ from my bank account and 2 days later there they were. Being the excitable person that i am i stood in the mail-room and tore off the packaging before rushing upstairs to try them out. And i was shocked at the quality. The focus dials are a little hard to get at first and the first few times using text may take a little bit to focus but now my eyes are fully trained and its like having a personal movie theater in my pocket. I don't know if I'm just seeing it weird but the screen looks a hell of a lot bigger than the advertised 60 inches. Currently i only have the iPod and composite connections but i cant wait for them to bring out the HDMI cable later this spring.
Pros:
-Awesome TV in my pocket
-Works with everything i own besides laptop(until i get the HDMI cable)
-Can now own people in reach while laying in bed
-Don't have to lay awkwardly in bed while watching TV; The screen rotates to fit you
Cons:
-Only thing i have it that it sticks out from my face more than the pictures make it appear. But not a big issue as i don't much care what i look like because the glasses are just that badass
Overall I'm going to give them a 9.7/10. If your even slightly interested in being cool id suggesting heading over to The Vuzix Website and checking out a pair of your own.

Python is fun!

Hey everyone (who's left that is) Sorry for the long long long delay in posting. Lately(and by lately i mean the past 2 hours) I've been teaching myself python. It started when i found Skulpt a nifty live, in-browser compiler for Python. Since then I've downloaded the IDE for windows and have been playing with it. So far I've written the beginnings of a Blackjack game but lost myself in how to equate the card names to values because i stored the cards in a map. Tomorrow i might start on a MTG program that would take your deck, shuffle it, draw a hand and keep track of mana etc. All command line based of course since Clarkson doesn't teach GUI applications (yet i hope). Anyways below is the code I have so far. Feel free to provide suggestions.

Hey guys

Im going o be more active now that exams are over. And on that note: I need a banner! Winner gets my everlasting gratitude lol. It can be anything you want just make it something you wouldn't mind showing your parents lol. And now for a hilarious story that happened ot me the day black ops came out.
I was in the middle of an online homework assignment and the itnernet in our building died. I called the Office of Information Technology or OIT to ask why and had the following conversation:
OIT: Hello OIT how can i help you?
Me: Yeah the internet here died during my homework assignment. How long till its back?
OIT: Oh yeah your like the 50th person to have this problem. Let me just check your building's status. Ok looks here liek you guys have used up your daily bandwidth cap
Me: We have a bandwith cap? how big is it?
OIT: Pretty big depending ont he day but usually around a TB or so.
Me: And we used all of it?!
OIT: Yeah that is wierd. Let me see usage. Wow fully 60% of it was used for Xbox Live.
Me: So i fail this assignment because of Activision?
OIT: Pretty much. it should be back tommorow.

I got an extension on the assignment because the majority of the campus lost internet. Thanks actvision
