Photoshop is cooler than I used to think...
Enough said. I have elements 3.0, which is close to seven versions behind the current version, and mine is still cool. Inkscape is still cooler, though.

Deviantart sitback!
Click the title to visit a new feature of deviant art...if you ignore the ads, it's alright. I could probably make a better slideshow, though... :D

I'm going insane!
Some of my close friends would say that I already am insane, but that's beside the point. Anyway, I signed up for NaNoWriMo, where you write a novel in thirty days.
Try it! Click the title or that blue thing to the right.
Also, my birthday is on Sunday (the 2nd of November), and secret agent in training episode three is out.

Lots of posts!
This is the most posts I've posted in a long time...is that actually a good reason to make a new post?
BTW, Secret Agent in Training Episode 2 is out!

This is the life!
I'm sitting in my computer chair, programming Java, listening to Jurassic Park Music and looking up stuff on Wikipedia. This is exactly what I want to be doing!

Nuclear submarine
I'm doing a volunteer job over the summer, and I might get a security clearance to go on a Nuclear sub...woohoo!

Biomimetic (Buy-Oh-Mih-Met-Ic) airplane 0803.18
Today as I was about to do some running an idea came to me: a mobile mechanical alula (a feather on a bird's wing for aerodynamic purposes). It would use an inflatable tube to extend and retract. Later, as I was writing this idea down, I thought I could use a piezoelectric actuator instead of an inflatable tube. This would take up less space and use less energy.
After a few minutes, I thought of a mechanical bird wing that was made up of a main spar with artificial alula embedded and artificial "feathers" surrounding it. the feathers would also be moved by piezoelectric actuators.
To be continued...(I have a painful plastic cut [like a paper cut])

Jet engine
Recently I invented a new type of jet engine. It has a wide intake at the front, a compressor cone, hydrogen injectors after that, electric fan blades and a nozzle.
How it works:
1. Air is pulled into the engine by the fan blades. During this part, the engine works like a normal jet.
2. Once the air reaches a certain speed, the compressor cone causes a shockwave in the airflow, compressing air further and eliminating the need for any fan blades.
Up next: Tilt rotor aircraft

Todays news
The breaking news today is Dilong paradoxus' striking lack of imagination in respect to blogging (he invented a tilt-rotor aircraft and a new type of jet engine recently, however). Next at 4:30: Walking with dinosaurs!

Sorry for the absence...
Sorry for not writing very much...I just haven't bothered to blog recently.
I'm drawing many new Dinosaurs, such as Velociraptor, Oviraptor, and Daspletosaurus.
My life is going well currently...now I have nothing else to say.

By the way, I've started sketching some stuff (dinosaurs, sea reptiles)...the sketches turn out pretty good!

Picture
You may have noticed that the picture at the top of the page obscures "Dilong paradox", leaving only "us". So, to solve the problem, I inverted the colors of the image, making it black. This rendered the "Dilong paradox" part visible, completing "Dilong paradoxus". (Ta-da!)
My new submarine
This is my new creation: A submarine with Azipods (A-zee-pods), Which are swiveling propellers. A future version may have a Magnetohydrodynamic drive...

Hello! Sorry for not writing for a bit...I just forgot about my blog. I've drawn some new Dinosaurs recently, but I haven't been able to post them on deviant art...ARRRGGGGHHHHH! Sorry. BTW, Kiwi:

Computer!
My computer is finally working! I may not be able to scan much...however, I took some of Paleo12's advice...my drawings are quite a bit better now! I should probably do a sauropod soon...I probably have some good skeletal material in "Dinosaurs" By Thomas R. Holtz...

Computer problems/other thing
The problem with my other computer is something to do with the memory...I still can't remember the other thing...maybe I'll use inkscape...

Montana
I'm going to Montana this summer! I'm going to do some dinosaur stuff, and probably think about antimatter-matter combinations...

Antimatter/Amphicoelias
I did some calculations last night, and I figured out that if you combined one kilogram of matter and one kilogram of antimatter, the resulting explosion could be felt in Montana and possibly Idaho. That's a huge explosion! One gram of antimatter combined with one gram of matter would create an explosion equal to 47 kilotons of TNT! A kiloton is exactly one thousand tons, so that's 47,000 tons of TNT!
I was recently running at the Kingston Middle School, and I calculated that A full-grown Amphicoelias could stand with its tail 35 yards away from the end zone and its head would be in the other end zone (on a football field). That's huge!

Antimatter: recently posted on deviant art
Did you know that 1 kilogram of antimatter (2 or three pounds?) equals the equivalent energy of 43 megatons of TNT? For comparison, the largest human-made nuclear explosion was equal to 50 megatons of TNT. The average nuclear missile is equal to 1 megaton of TNT, and can shatter window from 50 miles away!

Railgun!
"The U.S. Navy yesterday test fired an incredibly powerful new big gun designed to replace conventional weaponry aboard ships. Sci-fi fans will recognize its awesome power and futuristic technology.
The big gun uses electromagnetic energy instead of explosive chemical propellants to fire a projectile farther and faster. The railgun, as it is called, will ultimately fire a projectile more than 230 miles (370 kilometers) with a muzzle velocity seven times the speed of sound (Mach 7) and a velocity of Mach 5 at impact.
The test-firing, captured on video, took place Jan. 31 in Dahlgren, Va., and Navy officials called it the "world's most powerful electromagnetic railgun."
The Navy's current MK 45 five-inch gun, by contrast, has a range of less than 23 miles (37 kilometers).
The railgun has been a featured weapon in many science fiction universes, such as the new "Battlestar Galactic" series. It has also achieved newfound popularity among the 20-something-and-under generation for its devastating ability to instantaneously shoot a "slug" through walls and through multiple enemies in video games such as the "Quake" series of first person shooters.
The Navy's motivation? Simple destruction.
The railgun's high-velocity projectile will destroy targets with sheer kinetic energy rather than with conventional explosives.
"I never ever want to see a Sailor or Marine in a fair fight. I always want them to have the advantage," said Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead. "We should never lose sight of always looking for the next big thing, always looking to make our capability better, more effective than what anyone else can put on the battlefield."
The railgun's lack of explosives means ships would be safer, said Elizabeth D'Andrea, Electromagnetic Railgun Program Manager.
The Navy's goal is to demonstrate a full-capability prototype by 2018."

Google analytics
If you feel like you are being watched...you are! I recently made an account on Google analytics, which measures how many people come and go from the website and how it happens. The code is installed just under the widget on the side that says "Tracker", but since it is code it is invisible. Thank you for being recorded!
Watch!
I just got a new watch... it has digital and analog displays, and the digital can turn off. It's pretty orange (see above post).

This guy is pretty much the best Dinosaur artist I have ever seen. I am reading a book illustrated by him, called Dinosaurs: The Most Complete Up-to-date Encyclopedia For Dinosaur Lovers Of All Ages. It has some of the most awesome drawings ever. Like this one (which I probably shouldn't post because of copyright laws [@#&%]):
It shows (from top left to bottom right) Therizinosaurus cheloniformis, Citipati osmolskae, and Caudipteryx zoui. If need to know how to pronounce those, just ask me in a comment.

I'm bored. all I have to do is...WAIT! STOP THE PRESSES! (Had to say that, sorry). I can use RCT3! Ask me what that is (I need the comments). That's another thing. I don't get enough constructive criticism. Well, goodbye for now...
