Day three. the slowest ever. But for me the first ever contact with many of 'my' freshmen. so tomorrow is the first real initiation day. 20+ freshmen expected (witch is already roughly the number of people that passed last year's initiation, and there are still 2 more bunches of people coming from different college applying stages. So this could be good. And good old J is going to wake up at 6 am just to go to college to 'reserve' some tables for the lunchtime. And like J, tenths more of 'doctors' from all 'Praxis' from my college. This should be interesting. (some day I should explain better these academic terms in English. Someday..) Tomorrow will be a very very interesting day.
It's Geek Wednesday! Today's Story.
Video games that help scientists. Foldit, created in 2008 by the University of Washington, asks players in competing groups to unfold chains of amino acids using in-game tools. In this case, those virtual amino acids corresponded to a real-life enzyme that scientists had been trying to decipher for a decade. The gamers created a model in just three weeks. Check it out people. This is something we can do to help science evolve. And have fun in the process. Other related program is Folding@home. An application that is helping scientist discover more about diseases like parkinson's, alzheimer's, and many cancers. All that you need to do is install the application and 'lend' your processor power to them, so they can use that power, in addition to thousands maybe millions of other users, and possibly supercomputers, to fasten the process. This can help find a cure for hundreds of diseases people! look at the possibilities.

Moving on to some not-so-serious business, some dance material. This krump Vs Turf battle is so sick.. omagawd. When this Retro guy starts he does an awesome stunt like his head comes off. It's so perfectly executed. I was blown away by that single move. Oh ans Tight eyez is The Creator of the Krumping style. He is the father of that genre. The other guy just wanted to show his area's style, Turf, witch is like the bastard brother of popping. Am i being clear? Gewd.
The awesomeness continues in round 2. check that out as well.
