Writeup for my Eagle Project

Project Description

Project Name: Granite Bumpers

Describe the project that you plan to do: I plan to replace the three worn telephone poles that currently protect the west playground with a set of eight gray granite parking bumpers. These bumpers will be smooth on the bottom, rough all around the edges, and have a flamed finish on the top. They will be pinned to the ground through the use of two metal pins anchored in the parking lot beneath each bumper.

What group will benefit from the project? All Souls Church.

My project will be of benefit to the group because: The current bumpers (a set of three telephone poles) are too tall for this use. The cars often run into the top edge of the poles, and, as a result, splinter and push the poles backward. As the purpose of a bumper is to simple stop the car (without making the driver worry about their bumper), the current solution fails. It is also a slight safety hazard, as many kids play less than 50ft away and quite often go over the poles to reach

Common App Essay(s)

I play on my computer. It's not video games that capture my imagination and time, though; instead, it is that most ethereal ability of software - to create whatever you can imagine, with only code standing in your way. For a moment, pretend you are an architect. Imagine if you could have the original blueprints for the greatest building in the world, then modify them to your hearts content and have those changes reflected in the actual building. That is the promise of open-source software; and one of the greatest open-source projects ever created is the Internet. It has been moving away from its open-source roots, however, toward a web of somewhat-interconnected, mostly-separate networks. This is a bad thing.

Because the Internet is one of the greatest inventions ever created by man, it must be kept free and open, not controlled by any single entity or group. The last invention with this kind of an impact was Gutenberg's printing press, and that idea took far longer to spread. The Internet removes the mi

VB Word-to-Markdown converter

from http://tips.naivist.net/2006/02/02/word_to_markdown_converter/ Word to Markdown converter

Some smart people who didn’t want to teach users how to code in HTML invented Textile markup language

Someone more lazy invented MarkDown syntax which is much easier to learn. MarkDown is really nice for small content management systems, blogging engines etc.

For instance, to mark text as bold, you write the “bold text” like “bold text”. Other rules can be found in the syntax page.

However, when you have a MS Word document with several pages of bolds, italics and lists, you don’t really want to re-code all the markup.
