So, June hast turned into August. And I've like 2 weeks of work left before I start school again. (yeah, I'm counting) I guess my life kind of fell back into the summer ruts again. Doing nothing but working and sitting around. Although a few things recently made my days a little better:
1) Reading "Chomsky on MisEducation"
2) Finding the Red Alert 2 Soundtrack
3) Finding a whole bunch of books in .pdf format
I guess I'll try to keep myself busy and educated and all that stuff before I go to get educated s'more.
Onto the big news story of recent times: The bridge collapse in Minnesota. Horrific to think about, really. The human in me feels horrid. Not a good way to go. But the engineer in me is wondering what happened. I really hope there's a clear cut answer to all this, but I really think it's just going to end up as a large compilation of factors. I wonder what the consequence of this all is going to be, though, on the view of our aging public works projects. For instance, you can also cite the steam pipe explosion in Manhattan as a public works project that went horrible wrong due to age and antiquated technology. I really hope it spurs a movement for the updating of older structures and utility works before more people get hurt.
