I spent Thursday and Friday working on a thruster for my team's satellite. Today I had a big revelation while I was drinking beer and rallied the team to iron out the kink I found in the design on Tuesday. Then, barring disaster, the design will be ready to hand of for fabrication on Wednesday. That same day, hopefully, the team will have also taken me up on my offer to walk them through patent stuff so we can actually sell the design I worked on.

It's been a blast!

Huh, my week seems to be getting better and better. Each individual paper will net me at least $50. I've also been signed on under a company in Vancouver that works on educating children in wildlife conservation and the environment for writing 3-4 articles a month, $20 a pop. I'm in talks with a guy who's making a social media site in order to market his fundraiser and drive more traffic to his website, which would net me over $300 if things go well. I just received two more contracts this morning from a long-time client that will net me more than $100 and I'm about to get underway with another contract to redo all the volunteer programs with a large company that is based in the UK but services most of Asia.
It was literally just five days ago that I was kneading my hands over and over again, worrying that I wouldn't find work and watching my money slowly drain down.
This should, hopefully, be a nice boost. It will at least be enough for me to afford getting my driver's license, passport, and renewed citizenship ID next month, which will be nice.
An even better touch is that this completely goes against my rant from yesterday in the rants thread about my portfolio. Each article with the environmental site will be applicable for my portfolio as will the volunteer programs.
I am content with how my day is going thus far.

Hey, maybe your name will one day be in the news as the designer of this supercool flashy stuff they just shot into space!
It's 6am Monday morning and it's a holiday. I'm heating up steel cut oats that have been soaking overnight. Life is good.

What airline? And did you have to pay for it?
Norwegian, and it's free. My Etihad flight last week had wifi, but it cost about $10 for an hour (or $20 for 24 hours, so it'd be potentially worthwhile if I'd gotten onto it early, or if there wasn't ample alternative entertainment).

1: American football advanced statistics are really interesting.
2: For any odd number, x, greater than 1, x2 - 1 produces an even multiple of eight.
2: For any odd number, x, greater than 1, x2 - 1 produces an even multiple of eight.
Why this works: because x2 - 1 = (x+1)(x-1), and if x is an odd number, X+1 and X-1 will both be even, and one of them has to be divisible by four, and multiplying a number divisible by two and a number divisible by four will always get you a number divisible by eight.
Math is awesome.

Yea, a friend told me that and I thought it was cool. Also the Friendship "Paradox".
