So, I'm coding away on HTML this afternoon, and all of a sudden, Windows decides that it wants to apply Arabic settings to Notepad. The result:

Sunday Recap and Week Ahead

After my griping yesterday, I decided to get off my rear and take a walk down to Target and Best Buy for some stuff. I ended up picking up shorts from Target and a hard drive and some games from Best Buy. Continue...

Video Online (and MP3s!)

I've finally gotten around to finishing the video that I shot at Holly's place some weeks ago. It's a video of her dog for her and her family that was shot mostly on a whim. It's available here [16MB, Quicktime 6.2 required]. Continue...

Interesting thoughts

I'm not a big fan of the bloggers' social wanking that makes them link to each other unnecessarily, but this is something worth reading regarding the difference between liberals and conservatives.

Gadgets, Gadgets, Gadgets

Over the past month, I've picked up a Tivo and various wireless connectors for computers and home entertainment devices. Yesterday, I finally acted on the musings that I had about getting rid of my SBC-provided landline and replacing it with a cellular phone. The phone of choice, why the Sony Ericsson T68is of course.

Chaos et al.

Well, I got home yesterday hoping to play some computer games with my little brother. His computer was giving him troubles and he managed to wipe out the Windows 2000 install I put on it over Christmas by trying to use a circa 1995 Packard Bell install disk. Continue...

Group Position Amplification

I'm currently sitting in on a Clio Society presentation being given by Univ. of Chicago professor Cass Sunstein. He's speaking about how group dynamics has a tendency to exaggerate group viewpoints when people in a group all agree to begin with.

FPS Games

Articles like this remind me of how much time I wasted playing things like Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 during school. While my FPS habit has drastically declined, I continue to waste my life away playing other games... Ah, the nostalgia of playing Unreal Tournament until 3:00 AM when I had a Russian class the next day at 9:00 AM. Is it any wonder that so many of my college memories are a blur? Continue...
