There’s still some mulling around online about the RIAA, Digital Music, fair use, and the like. Last month, I wrote about a way to take care of the Record Label Problem. This afternoon another novel concept hit me. A way to save “fair use.” “Fair Use” is, basically, being able to make copies of media that [...]

I’m one of several dozen interns at work this summer, and all interns are required to take a “speechcrafters” class, which is basically worthless for me, but they do pay us to take it, so I can’t complain much. They split us into several groups, and each of us have to give two speeches during [...]

Ok, so yesterday I really skinned myself up playing ultimate frisbee. It was fun. As any self-respecting guy would, I got pictures. ( 1 2 3 ) Please disregard the apparent pastiness in the second and third pictures… it’s… umm… the lighting. Riiight. I’ve now reached the end of my creative skill for the day. If [...]

As most of you know, I went back to Alabama for a [Circle K] Summer Board Meeting. I left a day early, though, to get a chance to hang out. Here’s the story of my weekend, with pictures. Thursday: I awoke at 2:45 to get ready for my 6:00am flight from Chicago’s Midway Airport. I showered, finished [...]

Well, I haven’t posted anything substantial in a while, so here goes… Last night I did Laundry. Not enough, mind you, but some. While I was doing that, I got a chance to play the newest release from Blizzard Software: Warcraft III. This is really a slick game. Beautiful graphics and gameplay. I’ve not gotten around [...]

A week or so ago, kd announced to the world (or my part of it at least) that trackback was here. She expounded upon its virtues and generally doted upon it. As many of you realize, I don’t use MT. I code everything I use with TLC, PHP, and MySQL. I knew I had to [...]

I’m sure it’s no surprise to most people, but here in the U.S. if you want to become a citizen, you have to pass a test. (Unless, of course, you were born here, in which case the only test was in convincing your mother not to abort you). Well… it seems that Zuchris found a [...]

In conversations over the past few days, the topic of “the one that got away” has come up, either directly or indirectly, and I’ve done a bit of thinking about it. Most people, when they talk about “The One”, speak about one specific person that they actually dated. This person, typically, was someone that they [...]
