Yahoo Logo Situation.

I posted earlier about a discovery I made about a Yahoo logo change.  I went to Yahoo.com to check my e-mail and found a new and very attractive logo at the top.  I was excited.  I went there just now only to discover that the old one is back but with an Independence Day theme thing going on.  This is weird..

Hopefully they'll end up with this.. 

More developments soon to follow.

Pretty awesome.

Yahoo displays new logo.

Is it just me or is Yahoo getting purple and snazzy on us.

I'm liking it a lot.  I enjoy a new logo every now and then.  One new logo that I don't like as much would have to be this:

New Animal Planet Logo

Old Animal Planet Logo

To me, the older animal planet logo was much better.  I think something else could have been done with this one.  I think they should have just tweaked the old one a bit or just did something a little better than the new one.

I enjoy logos.  Very soon, I'll be the maker of some of these logos.  

I hope everyone's have a good day.

Rainy day.

Today was a long one.  I worked 12pm - 10pm.  Definitely not one of my favorite shifts ever, but I'll take the money for it.  I sold loads of mess, though.

It sure enough rained like mad today.  It rained really heavily for a good 5-10 minutes.  I asked my customers that came in if they swam or rowed to get there.  They laughed.  I think it's finally calmed down with the raining.  

Well, I'm too tired to write much more, so I'll end now.

Goodnight World.

Fireworks.

Tonight we went to the downtown fireworks.  They were pretty ok.  Compared to a lot of the bigger cities fireworks, they're not as extravagant, but they're still very nice.  It actually stormed before the fireworks started and it rained for about 45 minutes or so.  We were kind of afraid that they might not have them, but we hung around just in case.  We were rewarded.  

It's the weirdest thing how almost every year it tends to rain on Independence Day.  It's always like that here.  Is it like that anywhere else?  I supposed it's because of the summer time weather conditions.  A popup storm can happen on any given night.  I was very happy that they were able to shoot them off, though.

Speaking of fireworks.. I have this big ol' stash of fireworks upstairs in the spare bedroom's closet that have been up here since 2000 or 2001.  They really need to be shot off.  I've been working on them for a long time.  I think I'm saving the coolest thing in there for about 5 years from now.  Hopefully by then it will still work.  If it doesn't, I'm taking it back for a refund.. 10 years later.  

So, how was everyone's Independence Day festivities?

Thanks for reading and for being awesome like usual.

Presentation.

The presentation was a "GREAT SUCCESS!"  If you're wondering why I quoted that, it's because Borat says that in movie.  Anywho, my group-mates and I worked on the presentation about solar energy for about 6 days counting 4 out of class.  We got it all ready and delivered it today and made the highest grade in the class of a 95.  We were all pretty excited.  We worked our backsides off to get everything down and ready to go.

Now the next big hurdle is the 17-page proposal that we have due on the 17th of this month.  I think since we have the presentation out of the way, the proposal should be cake.  My group members are some awesome people and they're doing a great job on everything.  

Tomorrow (well, now today) I have to work 10am - 6pm.  I'm loving (note sarcasm) the fact that I have to work on Independence Day.  I think this may be the first time I've ever had to work Independence Day.  I guess I better get used to it.  I'm sure there's tons of people that have to work it.  I am one of them.  But, luckily we close at 6pm tomorrow, so I won't miss any festivities, if there are any.  I know I'm going to shoot off some good ol' fireworks.  I've had the same bag of fireworks since 2001 or 2002.  It's nuts.  They last a long time around here.  I guess I just never wanted to shoot them all off because I didn't want to buy anymore.  Some of these that I have might be antiques by now.  Who knows.

Well, thanks for reading my useless nonsense.

Your pal,

Josh.

Yawn.

I'm pretty tired.  I worked for about 8 hours today and it kinda stank.  I only sold one bigger item and that's about it.  Just a few small things here and there.  Oh well.  

Tonight I'm working with my group-mates on the oral presentation that we have to deliver tomorrow.  That should be fun.  We're almost done with it.  I cannot wait until summer semester is over.  I need a break.  A break from everything.  Soon, I hope.  

I could use some ice cream.  I drove by Cold Stone and DQ on the way home and didn't stop.  How strong willed I am.  I really wouldn't have minded having some kinda strawberry sundae or something.  I think I need one.  It's not a want, it's a need.  I will perish  if I don't get one.  OH.. I see the light.  Ok, well maybe not that serious, but I'd like one.

Who else likes ice cream?  What's your favorite flavor or combination of stuff on top or whatever?
