Gay Marriage

This is every point I've ever wanted to make when talking to people who are against gay marriage.

A Small Addition

jepowell — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 05:02:45 +0000

I decided last saturday (4/17/10) to get an addition to my tattoo. Actually, it started as just a touch-up, but we figured we might as well get the most for our money and went with an addition to the current one.

Before:

Right after I got it (4/2009)

New:

Front

Side

And there you have it. In case you can’t tell its a bonsai tree growing from the atom.

Revamp!

As you can see there have been some changes. The old theme didn’t really feel like it fit me anymore. This is much better. I’m hoping to update more often now that finals are almost over, but we will see.

This summer I’m going to be working with a theoretical condensed matter physicist, Daniel Mattis. I’m really excited about the opportunity that he is giving me. Hopefully I’ll be able to continue working for him during the Fall ’10 semester. If I do I should get about $3,000 as pay through the school for the research I would be doing. Either way though it will be a great experience and an awesome resume builder.

That’ll be all for now. I’ll see if I can find the motivation to keep this thing updated occasionally.

Hide Desktop Icons

For all you Mac users out there who get tired of seeing all those icons cluttering up your awesome desktop picture, I have the solution. I’ve created an App that hides those pesky icons with one double click, and brings them back with another! Its really nice because it doesn’t cover up your original desktop with some other image.

Download the zip here!

Please comment if you download it to show others that it is virus free and that it worked for you!

P.S.

I put the Hide app on the desktop so that the app hides it as well and the Show app in my home folder. I also put the Show app in the dock for quick access.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome just came out for Mac not too long ago. I’m going to give it a shot for a few weeks and see what I think. If I come to any groundbreaking, or not quite so groundbreaking, opinions I will probably post them on here. Or just tweet it real quick.

Finals

Sooo… it is finals week next week. One test this week and three finals next week. Not fun. It has been a while since I’ve updated, and I’ll try to be a little better about it, but this semester was kind of difficult. Hopefully next semester will be a little better, though it isn’t looking like it. Bleh oh well, it’s worth the degree I’ll get at the end!

Book

I’ve decided I’m going to write a book. A fictional book that incorporates my ideals and thoughts into the characters. I hope it works out well! I will definitely be interested in “test readers” once I get started into it, so just get ahold of me or leave me a comment if you are interested. Thanks.

Light

jepowell — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 07:04:18 +0000

Someday, hopefully soon, I will write and extensive post on a theory of mine dealing with light. It is mainly philosophical, but great food for thought. At least I think so. Be looking forward for it!

Two Years

jepowell — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:56:39 +0000

Tomorrow one of my best friends, Chasen Chamberlain, leaves for two years on a mission to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I would like to dedicate this post to him.

Chasen has been one of the biggest factors in my life for a long time, and I can truly say he has changed my life more than once. Chasen has always been there for me as a motivator, a shoulder to cry on, a friend to laugh with and so much more. He has always watched out for me and Cici and has kept both of our interests in mind even if we didn’t know it until he said it.

For a long time Chasen has been about caring and helping other people in their lives over his own. He will help someone even if he knows that if they succeed he will be hurt. He has given his money his time and his love to many people in Kanab and outside of it, who I am sure will not forget him easily. He has changed and saved my life many times and is about to change and save many more over the next two years.

I am so glad that I can call you my friend Chasen. Thank you for everything you’ve ever done and for always being there for me whenever I needed it. You’ve been more than any friend could ask from another.

Go get those Brazilians!
