This is a perfect example of why I can. not. stand. the Record Labels. Let’s get this straight… their “copy protected” CDs are not actually following the standard, they’re actually breaking computers (just Macs, which might almost justify it), and they’re not labelled. The MPAA survived VHS, you’re going to survive CD-R… quit being a [...]
Today is the first day of my license suspension. Luckily, today my new camera came in (a Canon Powershot A40)… I love it. Below you will find the first of the photos to come out of this beauty. I really like the quality. Inside, outside, low light, bright light… it really puts out quality images. My [...]
The conversation in the comments over at Tess’s about men, women, and age discrepancies has reminded me of a time that I lost every bit of composure because I was so thoroughly shocked. It was one of the first days of the internship this summer, we were sitting in a large lecture room getting some sort [...]
Today I did something evil. (Surprised?) Now, I’m not one who should be criticizing someone for being in a hurry, but I’m going to anyway. I love when people think you’re going too slow and they’re very animated about it. I also think it’s funny when they do so and you’re going 10 over the [...]

I really, really thought that everyone in the world knew that The Onion was a spoof newspaper. I really did. Apparently I was wrong. Reuters is reporting that The Beijing Evening News (one of Beijing’s most popular newspapers) was fooled by The Onion’s article: Congress Threatens to Leave Unless new Capitol is Built. Wow. Articles on [...]

Here are some miscellaneous notes: You can go here to download the latest release. CNet has a review here. They give it a 7 out of 10 rating, and the negative [...]
There’s nothing that annoys me quite like the stereotypical poster-children for the Feminist movement. It’s not feminism or equality that I’m put off by, quite the opposite — but The Movement, as far as I’m concerned, undermines everything that the less psychotic women work for on a daily basis. The Feminist movement has created, at [...]
Once again my day has illustrated the wonderful yet terrible way that good and bad seem to accompany each other on their trips through my life. Which do you want first? Really? Too bad, you’re getting the bad news first. License Suspension Update: This afternoon I wondered why it was exactly that I’m subjecting myself to [...]
