The economy might be in the tank but there is some good news. I read this article about some researchers from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. These researchers claim that they have found the HIV’s weakness. This means that in the near future it is possible that we might be able to find a way to finally defeat AIDS.

To understand what the weakness is, it’s important to find out it’s strengths. Like many virus’s HIV mutates. Each year the HIV changes shape. This is problematic because our immune systems will only attack a virus if it is recognizes the foreign body as having the shape of a enemy cell. All a vaccine can do it make our immune system learn the shapes of enemy virus so they will attack them later. Because HIV changes shape we can’t make a vaccine that will protect people from the virus.

However, a virus can not completely change it’s shape. To attack a human, a virus needs to have a part that can attach it to human cell. If the virus doesn’t have this part, the virus will be unable to harm humans. Therefore it follows that this part of the virus can never change. The researchers think that this never changing part of the virus is the protein gp120.

The researchers say they have found that one part of the HIV. If we were to say, make it so that HIV didn’t have this part of the cell, we could stop it from attacking humans!

Sounds rather awesome. I just hope that we’ll be able to use this information sooner rather than later.

I’m a college student how has just finished their first year school.

I know Java, C++, C, HTML, CSS, Macromedia Flash, and I know basic C, PHP and MySQL.

Freshmen year of College: GPA 2.98+
High School GPA: 3.9+

And I can’t find a good job. Well I can work at Safeway but I want to have a semi-decent summer. Safeway is no Starbucks from what I’ve heard. Everyone has told me that Safeway is a miserable place to work.

So what kind of job would I like? I’d like to be a cashier, in retail, a website builder, or God bless an technical intern of some sort. But I just I didn’t plan on the job market shrinking to the size of me keyboard. Based on my results, I realized that I did not start applying early enough.

I started searching for jobs in late April/early May. Since then I’ve applied to 25+ jobs. Again I admit that I should have starting looking for jobs sooner but at the same time, getting a job this summer was not nearly as difficult as getting one last summer. I knew that a recession was coming, but I did not plan on the the economy tanking right before summer.

Everyone been saying it. “It’s hard to find jobs this summer.” I’m just glad that me getting a job is not crucial to my livelihood. I just need the job for college money. If I don’t get a job over the summer I will have to work during the school year. This is not horrible, but still,m it’s not very ideal.

Granted it’s not impossible to find a job. There are plenty of jobs out there but most the jobs are either miserable, don’t pay enough, or require that I know more languages, tools, skills that I don’t really have.

The job market this summer has become very un-cutesy. Last summer was “we have internships and extra money to spend on next to not important jobs.” This summer the market feels more like “We need professionals. If you’re not necessary, get OUT.” This summer also I got a lot of “we might have a job for you” only to be rejected a week or so later.

However, in spite of set backs, I still keep searching. And quite honestly, the more I search the more appealing Safeway becomes. Oh well. Next year I’m going to start applying for job in January than I know that I will have a job by July.

Job, I need a job.

In the mean time, in between applying for a job and taking care of my little sister I’ve been watching a lot of Youtube. I began to think:

What video on Youtube are the best videos?

Well there are a lot of good video and a bunch of crappy videos. Most videos get less than 10,000 hits and lot hove a rating of 2 1/2 stars, so how could I narrow the search and find the best You tube video.

So, I decided to make, the 5 million club, a club that I won’t join but will keep be entertained for a while.

What are the criteria?

Each member has to make at least one video that has gotten 5 million hits on Youtube OR
1 million hits with a rating of 5 stars on Youtube.

Hence the name 5 million club.

God I’m bored.
