An Politischem

I attended the election of the next Los Gatos Mayor and Vice Mayor. The area was packed. People from several different commissions, groups, and communities were there. I was welcomed and pulled into the Youth commission area as they wanted to socialize with me. I, myself, belong to the community services commission.

To delete or not to delete?

I was reading Slashdot, and an article about Apple Leopard appeared. I read it, and noticed the correlation to Apple's TimeMachine to Microsofts SystemProtection. The Apple fanboys talk about how great the TimeMachine is, but then viciously attack MS's SystemProtection. Not that it matters much, but the fact of both sides calling each other cheaters and theives when the obvious fact of Undelete was concieved in VMS. This is not a new feature.

My Intel ISEF experience

I was thinking about ISEF and wished to shae my experience with everyone else. Here it is:

Going on a trip to ISEF was one of the most memorable experiences in my life.

I traveled with one other observer and around ten presenters. When we boarded the plane over to Indianapolis, I knew nothing about them. By the end of my adventure, I ended up knowing all of them very well. It was a great way to make friends.

Before the End of COSMOS

Its the end of COSMOS. The last two days were packed and action filled. On friday, we had to present to other groups. The marine life cluster presented first. Sadly, I arrived late, and missed half of their presentations. I saw the ones on Otters, Gray Whales, Sea Elephants, and Sea Lions. It was interesting to note that 90% of the Alaskan Otter population is decimated by Orcas. But one thing: Orcas are not supposed to eat otters! Apparently gray whale populations declined so much that Orcas shifted their prey focus to seals. When they finished chewing through the seal population, they started eating lower in the food chain. I suspect that Orca populations are really going to crash..
