    Bonkai, I didn't realize you were into nerdcore.

    You wouldn't happen to know anything about programming for web applications would ya? and damn it, bring your violin over sometime so we can jam. Can you play cello as well?

    my greatest achievement would be getting my first photo of a landscape i took, printed in a magazine! :D

    also as WMD already kinda said, finding my hubby was a big achievement.

    and saving a slo-worm as a kid :D

    I stayed up till 1:30am last night and then I managed to make it on 6 hours sleep.
    That's something I've never been able to do before and I'll be damned if I'm not proud of myself for that.

    I think it's on par with the witty comment.

    I was a big geek in high school only one of the 5 people in computer science club.

    I know a bit about programing apps but depends on what you're looking to accomplish. A you trying to make a Flash site for your music by any chance?

    In retrospect I wish I had started on the Cello, it's a bit harder to play/learn but it's so versatile. I'll give you a heads up if I take off for Austin this summer so we can meet up and play a bit

    I have a folding at home cluster running in Odessa. Folding at home is a medical research program to fight diseases like Parkinsons and a lot of hereditary cancers.

    I got the money by defrauding Focus On The Family. I called it Operation Shining Blue.

    It's got nothing on my next project, which doesn't involve fraud. Even awesomer

    Yes! it changes on a day to day basis!

    hence my list that, honestly, I'm mildly ashamed of now, (except the dimmer) but at the time, was made of awesome

    I am proud, in a way, that I kept running until my body gave out and I had a grand mal seizure. not because I couldn't keep going, but because my willpower exceeded my, then bodily capacity, and my present capacity is beyond what it was then.

    I am proud of loading a trailer full of 9 one hundred pound bundles, and unloading them fifteen minutes later. and it's not really an achievement in a large sense, but it means more to me, because it was a challenge and I overcame it than any stupid competitions I've won.

    edit: bizarre pause for my first "This" of an HHB post

    I'm glad you appreciate it.

    Focus On The Family had this program where they were giving away a bunch of christian materials (dvds) for a suggested donation price.

    I won't get into the specifics.
