11/11/06 - Marble structures, really old books, and a Smash Brothers Melee tournament

A tour group wanders by Carlson	This was written in the middle of a sequence of equations..	An airplane!
Nugget and Melvin	PayPerPost!	I made an icosahedron out of neodymium magnets and steel balls!
It looks pretty cool	It's really heavy	Inside a larger icosahedron
72 steel balls	Inside the giant icosahedron	Another shot inside the icosahedron
The icosahedron almost finished	You can see inside!	The headless icosahedron
All put back together	It was pretty stable once fully assembled	One more shot of the icosahedron
Closeup of the steel balls	Really old books	This book.. is really old
"SCIENTIFIC PAPERS - CLERK MAXWELL"	This book of Maxwell's papers was published only shortly after his death	It's weird to see how familiar this looks consdering how old it is
More really old books	A squirrel!	The athletic center
My sweet new topology book	Brett and Bryce standing around	Brandon seems psyched for the Smash Brothers tournament
Bryce just seems.. creepy	Pizza is here!	Look at all the pizza!
This guy's got a pizza	Pizza is James' best friend	Brandon digs in
Everyone's got pizza!	Mike attacks that pizza	Hey Mike
Bryce enjoys himself	The spectator zones around the playing area	Another playing station
Smash Brothers awaits	Josh gets some pizza	Brandon's having a good time
Mmm, pizza	Hey Brett	James and Brandon talking about something
Mike and James	Bryce has pizza	Brett looks suspicious of the camera
Standing around..	Mike talks to Brett	James savors the moment before the first bite
And off he goes	Mike takes a drink	A Gamecube controller
Bryce calls this one "Smash players ready for blood"	James thinks something is funny	Looks like Mike has grossed out Brett once again
Bryce checks out the ceiling while eating pizza	Brett and Mike	Laughing about something..
Bryce, James, and Brandon devestate more pizza	This makes Brandon happy	Bryce and James
What's up, Bryce?	Sitting around..	This guy looks pretty bummed
Hey Mike!	Outrageous and Bryce	The pizza is all gone!
And James looks pretty guilty	Drawing the tournament tree	Some other games..
Bryce checks out the PS2	Mitch	Brett watches people playing
Bryce gets in on a game	PS2 controller	Explaining how the tournament is going to work
Playing a game	Playing Smash	Bryce settles in
Smash Brothers!	Listening to someone explain tournament rules	Brandon examines the controller
He looks so lost	James is going to hit Pikachu out to left field	Oh no!
Playing..	Smash action!	Bryce is so focused
So is Outrageous	Brandon pushes some buttons	Mike's sideburns are out of control
Mike and Mitch	Mike plays	Mike playing Smash
Nice label	Brett looks excited	Bryce gets into the game
Finishing the tree	Outrageous is out!	So is Bryce!
Brandon and Bryce: losers	Bryce and James	James.. says something
Bryce and Brandon play games in the other room	Oh that's nice, Brandon	Everyone sitting around
James: a guitar hero	Look at him go	Go, James, go
Gotta give him points for style	Don't fall over!	Outrageous takes up his axe
The old PS2 is a monster	James and Brandon	Bryce is having a good time
