Scientia en Potentia

by Janeil_H | Dec 24, 2012 | 2012, Art

My sister got her room remodeled a little bit, and part of what she did was get a portion of her room painted with the “markerboard paint”. I got to try it a little, and decided to put this fantastic piece out with one of the markers.

Even though I’m in DIGM now, it always feels like science doesn’t get a fighting chance. I got inspired to make a motivational poster for people to actually like science and keep their heads on logically. I might’ve been doing digital art, but I was probably the only one around that still wanted to do things with science and a telescope.

Maybe when my skills get better, I’ll revisit this concept again and do a proper piece. Only time will tell.

Eateries – Soup and Beans Breakfast

by Janeil_H | Dec 1, 2012 | 2012, Eateries

This was a pretty spiffy meal, working out great for a cold December morning back when I was home at ETSU. Cream of mushroom soup, fried red kidney beans, coffee and toast. With the stuff I’m eating while at school, this was a welcome change.

Eateries – Normandy SR-2 French Fries

by Janeil_H | Nov 27, 2012 | 2012, Eateries, Fandom

As I’m on a Mass Effect 3 kick at the moment, I found myself doing this when I went to McDonalds the other day. French fries Normandy SR-2! Don’t think anyone did that one as yet; what say you, Bioware?

Touchscreen Vending Machine

by Janeil_H | Nov 22, 2012 | 2012, Camera Roll

While walking at West Town Mall, I was surprised to see this installed vending machine with a touchscreen.

Futuristic me was elated, especially since I was still busy playing Mass Effect 3 and imagining a futuristic world in the next 10 years. This was also on top of a class project where I had to create a touchscreen vending machine in an airplane, which dispensed hygiene products. So seeing something in life that sort of followed that model was spiffy.

It was enough I even showed Mom, who took a pause herself at seeing this giant screen vending machine as well.

But to my dismay, everything was sold out. While I didn’t need the drink, I had planned to see how it handled the purchase.

Unfortunately, the mall was still banning photography in the mall when I took this. So it wasn’t as clear as I liked to showcase what was going on. The reason I bent that rule was for how monumental that was.

EDIT: Future Janeil here. I never saw a touchscreen vending machine like this till 2015 or so, and it was outside of Tennessee. I wish they caught on more.

Errr….I don’t know!

DIGM – Nuke Launched Detected

by Janeil_H | Oct 22, 2012 | 2012, Camera Roll, ETSU

While I was heading out one day from DIGM classes, I noticed one of the computers had this typed into the DOS prompt. Looks like someone had a crack at a terminal joke while the computer was being wiped with Norton Ghost!

While I didn’t get to grab another photo of it, it stayed like that for another couple days. So the joke was around for a bit.

Life First – Stuck in an Elevator

by Janeil_H | Sep 17, 2012 | 2012, ETSU, Social Updates

Well, from seeing all those shows on TV, I never thought I’d see this happen. I got stuck inside when the doors failed to open on the second floor. Then the emergency key wasn’t inside, and the emergency info led to the campus security.

So my sister and I were stuck there for about 30-40 minutes until they got it open. The fire department were the ones who ultimate had to force the doors open. At least we weren’t stuck halfway or something.

ETSU – Library Dome Ceiling

by Janeil_H | Sep 11, 2012 | 2012, Camera Roll, ETSU

By far, the ETSU library is one of my most favorite places of campus. It is a partial shame that parking is horrible to access.

One thing I’ve grown to love, is the late hours that you can use to step into the library. I strolled in about 10:16 at night when I grabbed this shot,

The ceiling always gave me the vibe that I was someplace grand. Like Washington D.C, a more classic subway, heck even a museum. Something with class and gravitas.

Definitely a far cry from Walters State library.

The GPS Took a Nap

by Janeil_H | Aug 14, 2012 | 2012, Camera Roll

On the way back home from Charlotte, Dad decided he didn’t need the GPS anymore. I still let it keep running although it wasn’t on the dash any longer, and promptly went to sleep.

I woke up as we just entered Shelby, to a repeated pattern of beeping noises. I look down and see that the GPS had a series of Zs dotted across the search bar. That’s not even mentioning how it even got into the international keyboard.

The first thing that came to mind was how that it got into that menu. But more prevalent was an old Reader’s Digest joke about a guy who was on a plane, fell asleep and his finger was on the “Z” key. I was in disbelief that this happened years later from reading that (2007 or so, I think.)

I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
