I was griping to my brother about physics, this conversation (which has been slightly edited) ensued: TooMuchPete: Dude… if anyone ever asks you to find the torque on a current loop in a uniform magnetic field… run. Run fast. RayJay246: Why? TooMuchPete: Umm… TooMuchPete: Here, let me show you: TooMuchPete: torque = F1 * a/2 * sin(theta) + F3 [...]
…until thanksgiving? No really, tell me. See, because this school thing is really starting to grate on my nerves. I have a big physics test tomorrow, and two kick-your-ass Comp Sci tests on Tuesday. Did I neglect to mention that I’ve been a bit of a truant lately? So basically what I’ve got is a [...]
I’m a bona fide reverse stalker. It’s true. Huh? Well, I keep a close eye on my stats, I know who links to me, and I know from where people visit. In some situations, I even know WHO is visiting. For this reason, but not this reason alone, referrer spam bothers me. What is “referrer spam” [...]
I feel like Miss America and Carrie Bradshaw all rolled into one. Well, except for the fact that I won’t be getting into a bathing suit anytime soon, nor will I start writing about my sex life (or lack of… but I won’t be getting into that. Nobody likes crazy bitter girl rants about guys [...]
Here is an interesting quiz to determine your “digital” IQ. Mine was probably higher than I’d like to admit. What’s yours?

After an intense battle the toe-sock wearing, Free Pizza Party candidate Nicole won with an even 50 percent of the 42 votes. An eleventh-hour tie-breaking vote in favor of Jean gave her the one vote edge over Carrie, for second place. So, without further ado, I’ll begin negotiations with Nicole’s agent to set up a [...]
At some point this morning BlogRolling was hacked and all links were replaced with links to a very unfortunate person (Laura) who probably got some very nasty emails and will probably get some very nasty hosting bills for the traffic incurred. At the onset it’s true that it could’ve been an inadvertent mistake during a server [...]
Usually this weekend in review thing happens on Monday. This time it’s happening on Sunday. Hopefully this hasn’t caused any disturbances in the force or pissed off the god of the internet. Recently I’ve been thinking about how, in college, the weekend starts on different days depending on what’s going on. For example, this past [...]
The contest, nay, the war to see which of my California friends is going to get invited to guest post is still raging, and Nicole and Jean have both upped their campaign propaganda.
