Whoasdahsdahfosdhgasjfashaah

I have not made a post in forever, and for almost good reason. You see, aliens hijacked my blog so I couldn't sign in. They also started another semester of school and the beginning of a robotics competition. Oh, they started maximizing the Humble Indie Bundles and stuff as well. It's not as if you care anyway. You're probably just future me as usual, so time doesn't pass at the same rate and you don't need to worry about waiting three months to read the next post. It's like a good webcomic you just figured out about. You read hundreds each day, and when you get to the last one, you realize crap, now I need to wait for a week for the next one.

On a slightly related note, The sudden stop in quadcopter production posts was because I found it hard to upload so many pictures and talk about each one. I think some day I'll need to make a more organized version of that. The whole "I'm a beginner and that should make it easier to understand" is not the way to go about tutorials. Don't do that. Speaking of the quadcopter, someone flew it, but it wasn't me. When I tried to fly it, I could only get a few inches off the ground without crashing out of sheer fright. Eventually one of the motors broke and I had to wait a month to get new ones. I upgraded the frame, and now it won't work because I shorted out the Arduino in the process; I need a new one. Aaaaaanyway, I'll update when that's done. In the future, I'll make a much more organized version and document that.

I've decided to make another blog. Not another account, but a blog on this account. This account is primarily composed of stuff I wrote the year I was homeschooled. I've decided to keep it that way for scientific purposes. No need to say thank you, future me. I'll leave the past 20 or however many posts I've made since that year, but I'll be updating the other one from now on. I'm going to make it my goal to update once a week... starting next week. Just kidding. I really don't know how effective that will be. Hopefully an update a week won't kill me.

I'm not sure exactly how this next blog is going to go. It will probably involve everything from playing games to listening to music to hobbies I pick up as life goes on. Maybe tutorials as well, but not things like that quadcopter failure (remember, the quadcopter wasn't a failure, the quadcopter "tutorial" was). If I try something new, I'll purely document it. There will be no "how to" involved. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
