I don’t have a whole lot to say about last night’s game except that it was long, we had plenty of chances to win, and I Hate Rocky Top. That aside, a million armchair quarterbacks will be raking Shula over the coals today for the loss. Thats alright, hindsight is 20/20 and he’s still learning. [...]

So I was having a discussion tonight about money, and what it’s worth, with a friend of mine. It reminded me how annoyed I am by people who die with millions of dollars that they leave to their kids, and how I never want to be “that guy.” Yeah, you heard right. I don’t want to [...]

Last week I mentioned The Carnival of the Vanities, and how I thought it was a neat idea. Well, it’s Wednesday, so it’s up again, and this week Eric Berlin is the host. He seemed to put a good bit of work into turning the link submissions into a poem — have a look. Some interesting [...]

I’ve gotten a handful of links today to post, so here they are. In the no-particular-order order. Jeff pointed me to this. To quote: “i was in a dry spell. i hadn’t been with any women for 8 months! … she touched the shirt real soft and closed her eyes and said i hope this shirt [...]

Hosting Matters appears to be down again. This time their alternate server for their forums, forums.hmdns.net seems to be down as well. Pinging shows 100% packet loss and has since this morning. HM sites that I read, A Small Victory and Little Green Footballs are also kaput. This could be something benign, but it’s odd to have [...]

Honestly, if more PETA spokespeople looked like this, I wouldn’t have quite as big of a gripe about their looniness. Unfortunately, they don’t. Nevertheless, I’m sure their crazy animal-dominated-world agenda won’t stop you from enjoying the picture. If you want to know more about Lisa Franzetta, a unique and dynamic woman, check here. &#091 Found at [...]

Today I had what is hopefully the final advising session of my undergraduate career. I walked in, sat down, informed Dr. Vrbsky (yes, she would like to buy a vowel) that I had 18 credits left to graduate and I intended to take them all in the Spring. She confirmed this to be the case, [...]

Ahhh yes. Today I will endeavor to take some of you on a trip down memory lane. These days the world is inundated with fancy-schmancy new video games. You can’t walk 10 feet without seeing a sports game with real people’s faces on VERY realistic looking bodies… and the shoot ‘em up games have more [...]

Adelayda played at the Jupiter tonight, and I had half a mind to go… but really, deep down, I just didn’t feel much like going out, so when K suggested that I stay in and watch a movie instead, it sounded like a great idea. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was a good, if strange, [...]

Although this site wasn’t in any way, shape, or form affected by yesterday’s Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack against Internet Haganah (which brought all of Hosting Matters down) it is awfully interesting that it’s taken this long for the Terror/Anti-terror war to come to the net. Internet Haganah is a site which rooted out terrorist [...]
