Updating for the sake of updating

Nothing new in my life, nothing to really say, just didn't want to go too long without an update.

I've done nothing on any of my many many ideas, so they're all still crammed in the back of my mind. I looked at pitching something to a professor at either of the universities here in Ottawa, but I couldn't find anyone who specialized in the right field, so it's kinda pointless.

When I put 9 cups of water in the coffee maker, why do I only get 8 cups of coffee?
