Life Events - January

I have been away from my blog for the better part of this month.  My writing has continued but it has remained in my personal journal as I process through decisions and major life choices.  During this time I have truly enjoyed releasing all of my emotions to the Lord through my writing.  For me when I pray by myself I tend to fall asleep,  but when I write my prayers it allows me to converse with the Lord.  Enough of my personal spewing... What has happened in the past three weeks? I came back to Tech, chilled for a few days, then got as people arrived for Passion I started to become social again.  This ment that I actually started hanging out with friends, not spending all of my time confined in my room working on computer issues, that I created.  Passion arrived and I loved every moment of those long tiring days.  Waking up at 8am and getting to sleep around 2am was not a healthy lifestyle but it only had to last for four days. Once the Passion Conference concluded I knew

It was amazing, nuff said.  I do not have the words to fill this page with my thoughts.  Therefore just google Passion 2012 and you will find plenty of information from our time this week.  I decided to tell the story of this time through pictures that others took instead of writing.  Also check out some of the links below for some great writing done by some of my friends. http://aphenry.tumblr.com/post/15626881670/random-daily-thought http://christinapugh.tumblr.com/post/15407973016 http://aphenry.tumblr.com/post/15400793395/this-week-has-been-incredible-watching-god-work

Flights Overhead, WolframAlpha

In 2009 I started using WolframAlpha after reading about it in Popular Science .  Stephen Wolfram created Mathematica which is a 25 year old program that collects and displays information.  Wolfram after earning a lot of money from Mathematica which is widely, compiled a group of 200 researches to hand agrigate data using Mathematica.  Now you can go to WolfamAlpha.com and ask the weather from 1992 in Atlanta GA and all of the data which use to be all over the internet in one clean presentation.  This is an amazing service that I use daily when doing large mathematical operations for physics.   A few days ago I came across this interesting feature that pulls data from  FAA: Aircraft Situation Display to Industry .  Now you can see any planes that are overhead your current location and any location in the states.  The power of the internet is in the hands of any internet enabled user. All is Great in the Lord Use the Right and Left arrow keys to see more of my thoughts.

New Years Eve

Last night was a lot of fun so I will tell the story through some pictures that I took.  At the beginning of the night we really didn't know what to do, and we did some internet searches and just decided to head down to the Peach Drop.  The website said some hundred thousand people came last year so we decided that would be interesting.   We took Marta down to Underground Atlanta and just started walking around.  It was crowded at this point, cops were everywhere, and I was getting hungry.  As we got our bearings we started walking but soon got stuck in a mob of people, about saw a couple dudes throw down, and finally got out of the mass of people and went into underground part of Underground Atlanta.   During this whole time I started to see a side of Atlanta I had never been exposed to while at Tech.  I knew on paper that Atlanta was about 60% Black, but I had never been in a situation that the statistic actually was true.  To be honest since leaving Northwood I hav
