  • Bravo: Having a thesis topic and going full force into it

  • Boo: The pain and agony that goes along with it

  • Bravo: Coneys for dinner last night.

  • Boo: The fact that they are never as good as they are from skyline. My theory is two-fold. First, the cheese is nearly impossible to duplicate. Second, the small buns are completely different than a normal grocery store bun. However, a small layer of chili beneath the dog tends to lessen that effect a little.

  • Boo: No onions

  • Bravo: This fancy new mustard i purchased. Of course it didn't go onto the coneys, but it it does go well with pretzels.

  • Bravo: That Palmer kid might end up being something

  • Boo: Unrestricted Free agency for Rudi and TJ

  • Boo: Money

  • Boo: Not having any

November 22, 2004
  • Boo: Me, for being lazy over the last week or so, at least as updating is concerned

  • Bravo: Me, for being productive as far as school and work is concerned

  • Bravo: Thanksgiving

  • Boo: Being tired as all get out

  • Bravo: Camden, NJ, for being named the most dangerous city in the US. Detroit and Gary don't have anything on you.

  • Boo: That idiot who threw the cup at Ron Artest. I mean seriously, its not like Artest's mental deficiencies aren't well-documented. Its one thing to throw a cup at him. Its another thing to just stand there as he approaches you.

  • Bravo: Me

November 12, 2004
  • Bravo: Friday

  • Boo: My cold

  • Bravo: Feeling much better today

  • Boo: My computer at home, may it rest in peace

  • Bravo: Sleep

  • Bravo: Food

  • Bravo: Weekends

November 9, 2004
  • Boo: My computer at home is not behaving well at all...i might have to invest in a new one, which sucks fiscally

  • Bravo: Making a pretty picture which impressed the boss

  • Boo: Having to stick around a little extra because of a meeting. Normally not a huge deal, but I hope I get to the computer store before it closes.

  • Boo: My processor at home running way too hot, thus causing my computer to run like crapola

  • Boo: Having to buy a new far/heatsink and thermal paste, for starters

  • Bravo: Me

  • Bravo: Hot and steamy forum action. Keep it up!

  • Boo: Trying to figure out the best way to cross-reference these two datasets...we have a program that does it, but I want to edit it, and that doesn't seem to be going so smoothly, so I'll probably write my own

  • Boo: The fact that I can write programs to do this crap

  • Bravo: Me, for being smart, i guess

  • Bravo: My boos and bravos. Next time I go on hiatus (i.e. get too lazy to update for an extended period of time) I'll probably move the old boos and bravos to another file to clean up the main page a bit.

  • Bravo: Me, for having the glory known as will-o-rama

  • Bravo: You, for being will-o-maniacs

November 8, 2004
  • Bravo: New Simpsons

  • Boo: The fact that it was a halloween episode, which, i believe, always suck

  • Bravo: New Arrested Development

  • Bravo: Arrested Development winning the emmy. This show will be known as one of the alltime greats in five years

  • Bravo: Forum Activity

  • Bravo: My mother, for telling us to be active

  • Bravo: Neil, for emphasizing that those of us who feel so strongly against Bush feel this way because he had lost our confidence long before the election

  • Bravo: Me

  • Boo: Not getting the data I wanted when I should have, and knowing that the data is now gone and there hasn't been a low cloud in the sky over the continental US since the day I missed

  • Bravo: Now having an archive of the first guess data going

  • Bravo: Me

  • Boo: Wanting a new computer because mine is flaking out

  • Boo: Knowing that a new computer costs money

  • Bravo: Knowing that if I did build one, I could do it relatively cheap since I'd be converting the old one to a linux box and wouldn't need half the stuff in there to stay in there

  • Boo: The fool who left like a 3rd of a cup of coffee in the pot but didn't put another pot on in the break room

  • Boo: The expansion of our wonderful coffee situation to other floors in the building, because half the time when I go to class, there is no coffee ready, or it is brewing, and waiting would make me late to class

  • Boo: Me, for having a hard time staying awake in class without the coffee

  • Boo: Fluorescent lighting

  • Bravo: Eating breakfast this morning...makes such a difference in a day, and yet i rarely do it

November 5, 2004
  • Bravo: Hockey

  • Boo: Bush

  • Boo: "With the campaign over, Americans are expecting a bipartisan effort and results. I'll reach out to everyone who shares our goals." -George W. Bush. The point of a bipartisan effort is for BOTH sides to reach compromise. All the people who share your goals, Georgie, don't need to be reached to. You need to reach towards those who have views and goals DIFFERENT than your own.

  • Boo: Four more years (of hell)

  • Boo: The final episode of Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. When Quinn was on SNL, i thought he was horrible. He's a right wing comedian. Half his guests were right wing. Of course, the other half of his guests were left wing. And above all, they were stand up comedians. Stand up comedy used to be a focal point of comedy central. However, the network now gives us a bunch of crap like Watch Wanda Sykes Do Something Boring and A Million Attempts at Animating Crap (excluding South Park). Basically, they have three sucesses: Daily Show, South Park, and Chappelle's Show. One could argue that Tough Crowd was a rip off of the Daily Show or Politically Incorrect, but what it was above anything else was a way to be familiarized with up and coming standup comedians. Not dumb shit like Mad TV reruns and everything else on the network outside of their three successes (and the bi-weekly playing of Revenge of the Nerds).

  • Bravo: Colin Quinn...the more i got into the show, the more I realized his comedic genious

  • Bravo: New Simpsons sunday. No matter how many times I hear the argument that the show needs to be dragged out back and shot at this point, i still watch it. Its a matter of tribute to the greatest show ever created.

  • Bravo: F-R-I-D-A-Y

  • Bravo: Me

November 4, 2004
  • Bravo: A productive day

  • Boo: The productivity screeching to a halt waiting on a program to run. Its about 88% finished, and has been running for roughtly five hours

  • Bravo: The rumors of John Ashcroft resigning

  • Boo: Still no word on anyone else. It would sure be nice if the president resigned, as well as Cheney and pretty much everyone else

  • Bravo: The use of the forum

  • Boo: Douchebags

  • Bravo: Me

  • Bravo: Change

  • Boo: The fact that we have none

  • Boo: Alabama, for voting down the removal of wording about segregation from the state constitution. This state struck down removing the phrase "Separate schools shall be provided for white and colored children, and no child of either race shall be permitted to attend a school of the other race" from the state's constitution. Absolutely disgusting. Congrats, Alabama, you're a bunch of racist hicks who serve no purpose in the world.

November 3, 2004
  • Boo: The death of hope in this young american

  • Boo: The loss of values that I most cherish as an american

  • Boo: A measurable loss of faith in my home state

  • Boo: A depressed me

  • Boo: The worldwide loss of respect for our country that has occurred over the last four years

  • Boo: Free Speech Zones

  • Boo: A republican congress

  • Boo: A republican president

  • Boo: An already conservative Supreme Court with more Clarence Thomases and Antonin Scalias on the way.

  • Boo: The inevitable overturning of Roe v. Wade...

  • Boo: A war in Iraq where the soldiers are underpaid, underprotected, and are not able to return home.

  • Boo: The unwillingness of the president to try and multinationalize the coalition to take the burden of fault and cost and death off of the American people

  • Boo: The fact that the american people feel after this war that george w. bush was the moral superior of the two

  • Boo: pessimism

  • Boo: More irresponsible funding for wars and less funding for science

  • Boo: Kerry just conceded according to cnn.com

  • Boo: Four more years of scare tactics and wars brought on upon deception

  • Boo: Let's hope there is no draft

  • Boo: This update not about me disrespecting other people's views, it's about me feeling so strongly about my views, and seeing my beliefs become utterly worthless as Bush has no respect for views other than his own. If this country was open to ideals other than black and white or right and wrong, it would be a much better place. I however have been labelled a bad american because I stood up against what I have been told is right.

November 1, 2004
  • Bravo: Me, for having already voted

  • Boo: Teddy, for labelling me a terrorist because I voted for Kerry

  • Boo: The end of baseball

  • Boo: No hockey to turn to

  • Bravo: The old folk, like Bill Simmons' (of ESPN.com's Page 2 Father

  • Boo: Bill Simmons. The man writes a story blogging his minute by minute activities and thoughts during game 4 of one of the most historical baseball games in history. In this, at 6:38 P.M., he writes that "After a hurried trip to Starbucks, we made it back for the top of the fourth." What a douchebag. The guy later writes that this is the greatest moment of his life and blah blah blah. I'm sorry, if you run to Starbucks in the middle of the decisive game of your favorite sports team's attempt at the world championship...ESPECIALLY after a lifetime of waiting...you're a pathetic fan.

  • Bravo: Me

  • Boo: Today was scheduled to be the start of hockey season. Rest in Peace hockey.

  • Boo: Terribly confused on Issue 43. Need clairification. Where the hell is The Bean when you need him. Can't figure out if it is a Tax cut, or just a reduced renewal.

  • Bravo: Me voting

  • Bravo: You voting

September 28, 2004
  • Bravo: Hurricane Jeanne pictures for you! I felt like making pretty pictures. All pictures are courtesy of NASA/GHCC, generated by me, and taken from the MODIS instrument.

    11µm imagery enhanced with GHCC color table.


    14.2µm-13.3µm-11µm three color composite. White clouds are higher in the atmosphere (thus colder) and the blueish clouds are lower in the atmosphere (thus warmer).


September 24, 2004
  • Boo: "Well, so be it. Nothing's perfect in life, so you have an election that's not quite perfect." --Donnie Rumsfeld, in response to having the election in Iraq slated for January only have voting in 3/4 or 4/5 of the country because of violence in some regions. Nothing like excluding the individuals of a nation or Florida.

  • Bravo: Me, for planning to vote against the incumbant administration

  • Bravo: Friday

  • Boo: sleepiness

  • Bravo: Dinner tonight. Me so hungry.

  • Boo: Voting for Bush/Cheney

  • Bravo: Voting for Kerry/Edwards

September 15, 2004
  • Bravo: Me, for updating yet again

  • Bravo: The northward turn on Ivan finally showing up

  • Boo: Rain...looks like we're going to get plenty of it here

  • Bravo: Might get some tornadoes as well

  • Bravo: The old lady who runs huntsville

  • Bravo: A short update today. Gotta get some work done

  • Bravo: Three votes for Kerry in Ohio.

September 14, 2004
  • Bravo: Me, for updating consistantly lately

  • Bravo: Banana Bread

  • Boo: Me, for forgetting that I had bananas and having to salvage the over-ripe fruit into something usable and considerably less healthy

  • Bravo: The Batman protestor. Not for protesting. Not for just dressing up as Batman. For dressing up as 1960's Batman and not modern Batman.

  • Bravo: Me, for completing my crude thesis pre-proposal type thing

  • Bravo: Me, for doing good work

  • Boo: Finding a bloody wallet, then finding the owner of the wallet tied up and beaten. Some northern Alabama native got to experience that, according to the paper

  • Bravo: The possibility of having Ray visit in the fleeing of Ivan

  • Boo: The possibility that it may come right towards here and thus screw up Ray's flee, sending him west instead of north-northeast

  • Boo: Bengals pathetic defense

  • Bravo: New breakroom coffee. Its good coffee

  • Bravo: Me, for actually chipping some money into the coffee fund

  • Bravo: The minolta printer, for printing without a problem for the first time in months yesterday

  • Boo: The minolta printer. Its up there with Matt Stacey and that Brisken kid whose first name i cannot remember on my all-time nemeses (nemesises?) list

  • Bravo: Doug, for ordering possibly the ultimate gadget of all time.

  • Bravo: Doug, for getting to go to oktoberfest...and not in Cincinnati

  • Bravo: Sauerkraut balls. I need to know how to make them

  • Bravo: This update, for being about three times as long as I thought it would be

September 13, 2004
  • Bravo: A second update today. I should know better than to update prior to looking at the local paper in the newspaper box outside while smoking.

  • Boo: Guns. Now, I'm pretty much against all guns period. Sometimes it is best to not mention that opinion though. If I had trust in most people, I wouldn't be totally against guns, but then you read a little headline in the Huntsville Times.

  • Boo: Some jackass Deputy from the region whose three year old son shoots himself playing with his father's gun. Gun nuts would oviously say that they are responsible with their guns. But if a damned cop isn't smart enough to be responsible, you wonder if they really have a point.

  • Boo: The second amendment. This little news blurb isn't really helping the cause of those who believe in the second amendment. The purpose of the amendment was to protect yourself from the King and his men. Not to build a private arsenal in your basement.

  • Boo: Today also marks the expiration of one of the great accomplishments of the Clinton administration: The ban on assault weapons, i.e. the AK-47, uzi, and Tek-9. If you hunt for sport, I guess I can handle the fact that you are going to have a rifle. Maybe even a handgun. But I don't understand the purpose of having a gun that fires off a bunch of bullets in a short period of time, and not particularly accurately. Of course, the gun nuts probably have some excuse for this. These guns have absolutely no positive spin on them. They should not be legal.

  • Boo: Republicans, because they are so deeply supported by the NRA. They talk about safety all the time, but they are the ones representing gun nuts (well, them and the libertarians). Guns kill people. The right to own a gun is a relic of an outdated clause in the constitution. Its one of the few rights as an American that I feel should be regulated, if not all together stripped.

  • Bravo: People use guns to shoot deer. Without deer, we wouldn't have Deer with a Penis signs.

September 13, 2004
  • Boo: Me for not accomplishing anything I wanted to over the weekend, opting instead to sleep

  • Bravo: Me, for being the man

  • Boo: Ferrari dominance in Formula 1

  • Bravo: Italians

  • Boo: Ivan, the indecisive hurricane

  • Boo: Bengals

  • Boo: Nearly 200 yards from 78 year old Curtis Martin

  • Bravo: Palmer, for having at least a decent day, even if he Kitna'ed the last drive

  • Bravo: Another week at work

  • Bravo: Marvin, because he will fix these problems.





September 10, 2004
  • Bravo: Me, for being so smart and updating two days in a row

  • Bravo: My mother and father

  • Boo: Having to write a paper

  • Boo: Me, for not updating in over two months.

  • Bravo: Me, for updating

  • Bravo: One class this fall, the glory that is Physical Climatology. Its pretty smooth thusfar. It looks like it'll be pretty interesting too. Its being taught by Christy instead of Sundar this year, which is kind of a bummer, since Sundar is such a great professor. Christy doesn't seem so bad, though.

  • Bravo: Free crappy hot dogs

  • Boo: The death of the forum. If we all work together, we can save it.

  • Bravo: The resurrection of the forum.

  • Boo: Republicans. I'm telling you people, Dubya isn't helping us out.

  • Boo: Dick Fucking Cheney.
    "If we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States" -Dick Cheney

    This is a low blow and completely tasteless and unfounded. But then again, this has been the entire republican campaign....smear the opponent. At least Kerry cared enough about his country to serve in the Vietnam War, not get countless deferments. He is a total hawk and an oil baron. He is a perfect example of how the phrase "compassionate conservative" is an oxymoron.

  • Bravo: Kerry, for playing fair for the majority of the campaign.

  • Boo: The fact that showing class might cost him the election.

  • Boo: Sen. Zell Miller. A southern democrat showing that southern democrats are really just republicans. Kerry voted against the B-1, B-2, and F-14A. Do you know who else opposed them? Then Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney.

  • Bravo: I think i'm going to work on getting the forum up. you crackers better use it. I like the idea, and it could be some sort of central point (particularly for the cincinnatians who are scattered about)

  • Bravo: Me.

February 22, 2004
  • Bravo: Me, for trying to be productive

  • Boo: Me, for not being as successful as I could have been

  • Bravo: Those two teams that got a 91/120 on our (Nicole and myself) Remote Sensing test for the science olympiad. Fortunately, one team got the tiebreaker and one didn't, so were were able to differentiate the absolute winner.

  • Bravo: Our test. Grades ranged from 22 to 91+Tiebreaker. I'm the man. It's the first test I've ever written.

  • Boo: Blah blah blah

  • Idea: I've been thinking of setting up a message board for usage. It would basically be for all of us who actually look at this site on a regular basis. You see, the original purpose of this website was just to be a testbed for some work for the frat. Then I decided to register an actual domain name, and the rest was history. Anyway, the message board is essentially already set up. Finalizing everything would be minimal effort at best. If you're interested, voice up over on the guestbook. Ideally, comments to my updates would be more of a guestbook thing, and the forum would be its own little world, but I'm not Hitler, you could essentially do whatever the hell you want. So yeah, provide input. If noone would use it, I wouldn't bother with it. But Neil said it could end up being cool. And Neil's generally smarter than I.

February 18, 2004
  • Boo: Me, for not updating

  • Boo: Me, for being so busy

  • Bravo: Me, for updating

  • Bravo: Howard Dean....YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHH

  • Bravo: More attention than I ever thought this site would recieve! YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

  • Boo: Tony from the U.S. I did take time to learn about the Dean of Cincinnati. I posted many items which would likely appear on his resume. I proved my point. The man doesn't deserve the title given to him. He'd be like fourth on my list for the Dean of Cincinnati. I read his opinions. I agreed with some, but his stances on life was not the debate.

  • Bravo: The Dean of Cincinnati, for showing that I am right. Can you believe it? Ol' Will, right again. I am shocked. YYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!

  • Bravo: Steve, for giving me the bulk of this update:

  • Boo: Criticising pork because he is a vegitarian. The only pork insulting here should be from Todd, because he thinks the pig is a filthy animal. But I doubt Todd reads this. Cracker.

  • Boo: Criticising my lack of link. I'm lazy and busy. And i'm waiting on Neil to finish his segment. Once completed, the beauty of the site will blind you with its greatness.

  • Bravo: Here Steve. Wal-Mart is an evil corporation. After working for a family-run business over breaks in Cincinnati for the last few years (Ol' Holzman's), I've added to my anti-corporate mindset. But here's a brain-teaser for you. Holzman's is a family run butcher shop. Deep, isn't it?

  • Boo: This website was really never meant to be more than my self-centered observations about video games, dinner (where the hell is my pizza....it's a veggie pizza), and how much better looking than Tom Brady I am. Trust me, dude, these statements matter. Why? BECAUSE I'M WILL MCCARTY, DAMMIT!

  • Boo: The insinuation of me being the Dean of Huntsville. That would make me a hypocrite. The whole point is that it should be a position of high esteem. How the hell could I compare to all the NASA minds in this town. I learn from my superiors.

  • Boo: This is my favorite quote: "Gather a group of intellecuals". 99% of the readers of this site are good friends of mine and are far more intelligent than me. That guestbook is a group of minds. Minds far greater than most people I've met.

  • Boo: The Substitute: I never once knocked the deans beliefs. I knocked his title.

  • Bravo: Willomaniacs around the world.

  • SPECIAL SECOND UPDATE: MAJOR BOO: The Dean of Cincinnati. By definition, this man is declaring himself as either an administrative officer or a senior member of my beloved hometown, Cincinnati, Ohio. As far as I can tell, this man is neither old enough to be a senior member member of anything, nor is he a administrator in an educational facility. Well, thanks to a bit of Google action, here is a list of some of his credits:

    • The video portion of the Purcell Marion Computer Club
    • English Teacher, Purcell Marion High School
    • M.A. Middlebury College, developing what is titled "Morphic Literary Theory
    • Studied at Oxford
    • Finneytown High School, Class of 93
    • Proposed the use of nets instead of tasers by the Cincinnati Police in a letter to Charlie Luken.

    So what does this lead us to? Well, unless he's the Dean of the A/V Club, he has done absolutely nothing to warrant that title. That's like me declaring myself the Dean of Huntsville (or Cincinnati, for that matter) upon the sucessful defense of my Masters Thesis. Yeah, a masters is great, but I know plenty of people with them. And every "dean" I've ever known had a Ph. D. I will not accept this man's self-claim of being the "Dean of Cincinnati". If I were to label someone the "Dean of Cincinnati", it sure as hell wouldn't be him. A dean needs at least some meteorological knowledge, and that guy wouldn't know the Hadley Circulation from a Hand Grenade. I strongly urge all the willomaniacs out there to disapprove him and his title. He has no right or reason to his claim. And he's a prude

  • Bravo: The fact that she'll be president one day. That's my prediction. If the american public could be smart enough to realize that the fact that she's a african-american woman means nothing, she could really open some eyes. She retains my endorsement for the democratic nomination.

  • Bravo: The Carolina Panthers. Swales may have his chance to see his team win a Super Bowl before the bengals' reign of dominance starts next year and lasts ~7 years.

  • Boo: The Indianapolis Colts. They were my pick. They are done. And noone cares about the Patriots.

    • Bravo: BENGALS. WINNING RECORD.

    • Bravo: The Art of Soldiering. It was a good exhibit on display. Lots of great stuff.

    • Boo: My Reality: Contemporary Art and the Culture of Japanese Animation. Kind of a letdown. The Mariko Mori stuff was awesome, but the rest was alright. It was really spread out because there wasn't much on exhibit. Still worth it, though.

    • Bleh: The Embroidery Exhibit. Some really cool stuff. Some not so cool. Kind of indifferent on this one.

    • Boo: Dynamics assignments due on friday.

    • Boo: Being the one who shows the professor that a problem is wrong, to be told to tell everyone else (who pretty much hadn't done it) that they don't have to.
