Science Fair Has Come and Gone

Any student that has gone to Falmouth Academy before knows that when we talk about Science Fair, it's not the kind of thing where you make a sculpture of a volcano or anything. Science Fair is long, hard, and at many times very stressful! My science fair project was titled "What is the best height above ground to place a wind turbine?" I don't really feel like getting into the details of it, but if you are interested, you can just give me a ring. I ended having twelve pages of data and a thirty-one page final paper. However, all of the work did kind of pay off. I won an "Honorable Mention" award. Not too shabby. Just recently I received a $25 check from Falmouth Academy for it. Sweet! Now that I'm done with Science Fair it looks like my next project will be working on our English Monologues. But, after that there is one sure thing I can look forward to: two weeks of March vacation!

Main and Sweden

I just got back from Sweden. I don't feel like telling all the details again, but it was a lot of fun. So was Maine (I went to Maine a week before Sweden). I'll try and do a little more updating of my site with some new artwork pieces and some more images for my rotation on the About page, but that's about it. I still have some work to get done before school starts on my birthday. Yipee...

New Photoshop Artwork

I finally got around to finishing my wallpaper I made for dual monitors. It's called "Fingerpaint." If you don't have dual monitors, but still want it set as your background, make sure you have it set to "Tile" so it doesn't get all distorted.

On another note, I am going to our annual family vacation in Belgrade Lakes, Maine in a week. It's so much fun. We stay on a lake in a one hundred year old cabin. Ok, so maybe it doesn't sound fun, but really it is a blast. I think the friends that we have brought with us in the past can testify to that. ;) We are also going to have two tubes for boating this year, so that should be pretty cool.

One last thing to share. I know you probably don't care too much, but today I paid my Dad back all the money I owed him. The money I owed had been accumulating over the past seven years from various things. So today I just paid him back and it felt great! I no longer owe anybody anything... I don't think. :)

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day! It has been two hundred and thirty years since America became an independent nation. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. I know I did. Last night I went to our town's fireworks (which are some of the best I must say). Today I bought some Native Sunglasses which are very awesome. I then went bike riding along the canal with my family and topped it off with a swim at the beach. A great day indeed. :)

Version 2.0 Released

Well if you haven't noticed, version 2.0 of Philipmac.com has been released! I'm very excited about it. The new design is easier on the eyes, more simple, and just over all more pleasing. I finally got started on it Sunday morning after Pete had been bugging me to change the site before he had to get laser eye surgery due to the eye damage my site had caused him. You can see the old site here.

I also deleted all my entries because they were all pretty much just fixes for version 1.0. I'm thinking of using this as a blog and announcement for artwork and the like. Have fun and tell me if you get any errors.
