Finally the Weekend!

This week has certainly been one of the most stressful of the semester. The amount of tests, corps duties, and other responsibilities crammed into this week was almost too much to handle. I completed my final test of the week this morning around 11:00 and retreated back to my room for some cleaning and much needed sleep after a long night. This post is one of the last things that I have left to do before moving on to a well deserved weekend of relaxation in the woods.

This evening, I will be heading up to White County to set up a hunting blind for my first weekend of turkey hunting this season. This time of year is always exciting! Turkey hunting is one of my favorite things to do and being in God's creation makes it all the better. Can't wait to step foot out of the truck and hear the leaves crunching beneath my feet. Tonight will consist of setting up the blind for the big hunt tomorrow. I plan to spend the majority of the day tomorrow in the woods blowing the diaphragm call and waiting for a big tom to step out.

After building the blind, we will head back home to prepare all our gear for tomorrow morning. I need to go through my closet and find all my camouflage, clean my gun, and prepare everything that is needed for tomorrows excursion. I'm hoping that the rain doesn't settle in too early tomorrow, so I can spend a bit longer in the woods.

Needless to say this week has been pretty stressful and I'm pretty excited about having the weekend off and to myself with no stress involved. Today has been the end to that stressful week. Although I am still a little behind on some sleep, all the work for the week has almost been accomplished. But who needs sleep anyways? You can sleep when you die. Maybe my next post will consist of a picture of a turkey and the awesome hunt that I had. Until then, I'm going to keep to myself and enjoy my weekend away. Hopefully soon I will be able to step foot back into the outdoors and have some more peace and quiet to myself.

IT Continues to Progress...

As crazy as things seem to be progressing these days in the technology realm; the latest breakthrough will shock you even more. Just yesterday, a new kind of 3D printer idea was released. This 3D printer is not your typical 3D printer though. This form of printing does not produce products that are accessible for everyday use. Instead, this printer will offer something that can be consumed by the person who gave the printer input. That's right, the first 3D-food printer prototype was released with intentions of one of its kind one day available on worldwide markets.

The Foodini will be the first of its kind and though it may not sound very appetizing initially, it uses fresh ingredients to create its edible treats. The idea came along after looking for a way to rapidly prepare food in or around the home. The printer uses flavor cartridges to dispense combined ingredients on a glass plate. These ingredients are either cooked or blended before being extruded from the nozzle of the machine. Some of the foods that have been printed so far are, shaped cookies and bowls made from bread that can hold dips or other liquid treats. The printer is supposedly able to make things that are impossible to make by hand.

Currently the inventor is trying to raise $100,000 to begin a full production run of the 3D-food printer. It seems as though that this is impossible to imagine next to our microwave in our homes but one day it could become true. Currently backers of the Kickstarter company can pay $999 to reserve a Foodini from the company in advance. If you would like to check out the website posting this material, the link is shown below.
