interesting word of the day

To all you music lovers out there:

                             Hemidemisemiquaver- (a 64th note)
In this appropriately musical-sounding word, hemi-, demi- and semi- all mean half. So how does halving something three times get you to a sixty-fourth note? Because you're halving the quaver, which is an eighth note. Divide that in half, in half again, and in half a third time and you get a sixty-fourth note.

quote of the day

"Whatever you are be a good one."  ~Abraham Lincoln

I just like this quote. haha. Aspire to do well in one specific thing in your life and see what happens. ...chances are you'll get much better in that area. I've made a personal goal of working extra hard in math this year and it's really paying off. ...And yes, I do enjoy it now as well. :)
