Brent's debate camp adventure, part 7
This day in History:
- 1945 - World War II: An atomic bomb code named Little Boy is dropped by the American B-29 Enola Gay on the city of Hiroshima in Japan at 8:16 a.m., killing 80,000 outright (another 60,000 will die by the end of the year due to fallout sickness).
- Kevin Mitnick, computer hacker, was born on this day in 1963
- 1991 - Tim Berners-Lee releases files describing his idea for the "World Wide Web"
Remember in my last post when I said I was sick of drills? Well, we aren't doing drills anymore. On of the instructors left and has been replaced by a guy named Shane. He's giving these crazy heavy lectures. Like a lot of them. All the time. And our research papers are due at 7:30 tonight and no one has really done any work. Here are some of the lecture notes I took (converted to PDF, thanks to
OpenOffice.org). The first was a
Lecture on Morality Followed by that most epic of two day lectures was a riveting discourse on
Social Contracts. We finished off Wednesday with a discussion of
Jello Values This yesterday morning we talked about
Constitutional law. We just turned in our drop ten minutes ago, and I leave for the airport in 45 minutes. Then I'm off to Denver for the DCI world championships. I'll try to blog again later tonight.
