Thursday, to celebrate my last day of class as an undergrad, I headed out to the bars. This eventually turned into a trip to a College Democrats keg party with some of the ultimate guys (damn hippies), and then we went back to the bars. We were chillin’ at Cheap Shots when I saw Michael [...]
There are some things about Alabama, and the south, which I will not miss. Rampant bigotry and ignorance is one of them. Wouldn’t you know, we even elected a few of these types to our state legislature. One of these less-than-enlightened legislators, Gerald Allen (R, of course), doesn’t think that public school libraries ought to [...]
Today as I walked out of Gordon-Palmer after the last class of my undergraduate career I was thinking about it. I mean, I’ve been here for a while. A long while. It’s become home. I’m not unique in that — a lot of people feel a strong affinity for their alma mater, but I’m not [...]
So what’s up? It’s my last day of class as an undergrad (Paris willing), so I might not have much to post about. I’ve gotten two of my four papers done, the last two are on Cryptography and Fermat’s Last Theorem respectively, and I don’t suppose they’re going to be hard. Can I tell you guys [...]
I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse that there’s nothing on the ineternet today. Remember those days before the internet when you’d sit down in front of the TV to find nothing on? Yeah. The internet has days like that, too. Nobody’s posting, the news is boring, and so on. On the [...]
Apparently the Winter Arbitron Ratings are out for New York and Los Angeles: two of the most liberal cities in the United States. One would imaging, a year after kicking off, Air America would be going strong. One would be wrong: It’s been a full year for Air America’s flagship station, WLIB, in New York City. [...]
From FOXSports: Auburn made one final case to be called the nation’s best college football team Saturday. The Tigers became the first team to have an entire offensive backfield - two running backs and a quarterback - selected in the first round of the NFL draft since the AFL-NFL merger in 1967 and the first in [...]
There are two weeks of school left. This is “dead” week, which is typically anything but… and next week is Finals Week. I have two classes, and of the next two weeks, each of them are going to get a week of my time. Isn’t that sweet of me? I think so. This is Number Theory [...]
Those of you who have known me for more than 15 seconds have probably found that I absolutely detest when people pronounce the ’s’ on the end of Illinois. This is because, of course, that that is the incorrect pronunciation. It’s especially common in the south, though I’ve never heard a southerner with a hard [...]
You know what annoys me? No, besides that. Those holier-than-thou “shut up and drive” people. You know what? The cell phone is not the most dangerous thing people do while driving, and I would venture a guess it’s not even the most dangerous thing commonly done while driving. Would you like to know something else, you [...]
