It is absolutely imperative that each and every one of you read this very important announcement: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARA! That’s right, the youngest of the Holiday progeny enjoys a birthday today (prizes for anyone who can guess which birthday it is; family members excluded; cash value of the prizes not to exceed one cent). In other news, I [...]

I recent google referrer for ‘funny student election slogans’ reminded me of one of my student council elections in HS when I ran with the slogan “Vote for your Peter; He’ll stand up for you!”… For all of the 10 minutes it took for the principal to catch wind of it and make me take all [...]

As much as flash sucks for 90% of anything you’d want to use it for (unless done really well), I figured it’d be cool to learn a bit of it. As such, here’s my first animation. It’s actually not all that great, but hey… baby steps, right? all pictures taken by me (Update: none of [...]

Long story short: I saw a link in my referrers to The Dog Snot Diaries and in browsing around found this beautiful piece of social commentary. Without further ado, I give you… Anyone Can Be a Democrat Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking and vote that way. But, if you want to [...]

They say that no man is an island, but there are times in this life that we feel so utterly alone and we don’t think we could be any less connected to our fellow man. We feel that we have nothing in common and wonder what the point is in even continuing in society. It’s [...]

It was a day considerably like today, if I recall correctly. Here in Tuscaloosa the sun was shining and I had woken up late (as I did this morning). The events of that day, however, would forever change the lives of countless millions of people. I don’t need to relive it here for you, though; [...]

Zero-Tolerance. Law Suits for 12-year-old girls and broke college kids. This is the RIAA’s public face against filesharing. Wired, however, is running an article that discusses what the RIAA gets out of Filesharing. Apparently there’s a company that sells P2P stats to the RIAA, so they know what to play on the radio, which, of [...]

I find it simply ridiculous that Democratic Presidential Candidate Howard Dean doesn’t think the US should take sides in the Arab/Israeli conflict. On top of the fact that the US has supported Israel (and Israel us) for many years, let’s look at how Palestine (and their Arab cronies) are dealing with Israel: Terrorism. Suicide Bombings. [...]

Happy Monday! I’ve just finished making one small little change to the site. Because there are some things that Google just shouldn’t see, and because, let’s face it, there are things I could write here that I just wouldn’t tell some of you, I’ve decided to add “Private Post” functionality. I’ve always had it, really, but [...]

Mad PropsTM are in order for Robyn’s Sooners… it was one hell of a football game, and the OU fans, well… let’s just say that they make the Tennessee/Auburn fans look even LESS classy than usual. The Sooner Nation was a real treat to have in town and I can’t remember EVER being this un-displeased [...]
