Support Pink for October

Web sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research.

But to be clear, raising money isn’t the primary purpose of this web event.

The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), go out to that World Wide Web thing (in fact you’re on it right now! ) and educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that newfound knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned.

Please join me in going Pink for October. I’ve created a K2 style for the occasion, and a plugin to show your support for the event.

Retarded, Disfigured Clown

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing
Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect, nor do I strive to be
I am alive in this world of face-first falls and public breakdowns
I’m a retarded, disfigured clown

-Blue October

Its just been one of those days.

EIT

The Engineer In Training (EIT) exam (now called the FE exam) is the first step in getting a Professional Engineering (PE) licence, and I just filled out the application. The test isn’t until October, which should give me plenty of time to start studying up on the subjects that I’m rusty on, or dont know at all.

Although I’ve officially changed my Major to Computer Science, I will still attempt to get my PE based on work experience, it just may prove a little more difficult than if I had a degree in Engineering.

So if I’m not an Engineering student, why am I trying to get a PE license? Good question … Why not! I do still like Engineering, and having the PE is an exceptional thing to have on any resume. Combined with a B.S. in Computer Science I think I would be able to do something that I really enjoyed instead of having to settle with something to get by.

So wish me luck to the future, I’ll let everybody know how it goes .
