Mood: I dunnoThe true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.-Hannah Whitall Smith, 1902I have no idea what I'm writing about. Check out the actual post I guess. That sort of ruin's the point of having a summary, but I'm sure I had a great reason for making the blog this

Mood: Accomplished! Its only a few hours since I last posted, but I spent most of them updating the site. I added the summaries to the main posts with a little different formatting. I added all the music I've recently listened to in the header of the page (I'll get a better header that isn't totally obstructed - something simpler). I added a Firefox link (cause IE6 hates my layout and I don't

Music: Shuffle Mood: on edge? "All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible." -William Faulkner (1897 - 1962) Wow, I'm surprised that I found the desire to come back to this. I started this all a month ago, wrote for a week, took one fleeting glance back at it, and then left it for dead. And yeat I have returned. Why

I haven't updated the last few days because I've been busy having a life. It seems that I just don't need this when I'm not totally depressed and lonely. When life is going good and I'm busy, I don't really have time to go online and read news and post on a blog. Of course, being busy means that all my friends aren't in class or doing homework or studying for finals. And since I'm not in work I

Music: Wolfmother Mood: Eh... "I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it." -Mae West I changed the layout again. There wasn't anything interesting in the news today. News is always better early in the week. I got my camera back, but I couldn't seem to take the photos I wanted to. Overall, a very short post. I changed the layout again. I'm not very good at making my own layouts, but

Music: IncubusMood: Wet (its raining) "Nobody can tell you if what you're doing is good, meaningful or worthwhile. The more compelling the path, the more lonely it is."-Hugh MacleodI feel like I'm getting burnt out with all this news-type writing. I feel pressured by myself. Theres also a great video about this guy dancing. He has really inspired me.I am headed in the wrong direction. I've only

Music: Red Hot Chili Peppers Mood: Beat "The most profound statements are often said in silence." -Lynn Johnston I had a long day. I also managed to find time to write a very long post about it. And cover lots of neat news items. I had a long day at work. I overslept after being up so late last night from blogging and seeing superman and work was just one long stress session. Its getting really

Music: ZZ Top - Greatest Hits Mood: Satisfied "In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary." -Aaron Rose I changed the image at the top of the blog to this: I'm including it here because I assume that it will change again at some point, and I'd like to know what I changed it to. I also plan to change some other aspects of the site, but I haven't

Overall, I think the last post with Flock went well. There seemed to be a minor issue with an image, but that's not really a problem. I actually did a lot of reading today. Mondays always seem to be the best days for news. I'm not sure why that is, but I have noticed it for the last few weeks. Digg vs Slashdot It seems that Digg is the new big thing. There was an article in Business 2.0

Although I mentioned Flock a couple days ago, I didn't install it on my laptop. I've been doing installs and re-installs of suse linux on my main desktop computer, and also installed flock there, but never got around to using it. I used to run Windows Server 2003 64-bit on my desktop. Actually, I had 2 desktops, but one decided to start eating hard drives, so I had to decomission it. I planned

I always thought I'd write a blog so that other people would read it. It seemed like the only reason to do it, but I just spent an hour or so looking for all of my old blogs. I would stop writing them once I got really embarrassed about what I had said and was afraid people would come back and read them later. Of course, looking back now is more nostalgic than anything else. I am no longer so

It's pretty strange, I wrote that last post after being up all night. I was pretty elated, and I think I was still living in my old dorm, looking over the city as the sun came up. I could be wrong, but there were many nights where I never slept and saw the sun rise over the skyline of NYC.I did end up moving into another dorm. My second semester I moved from the fourth floor of the worst freshman

Friday was the opening of Underworld: Evolution, the sequel to the vampire/werewolf movie Underworld. Some friends and I decided to go see it, but unfortunately it was sold out for the show time we had selected. We swore that we would Fandango these things from now on, and bought tickets for the next showing: 10:55. We had several hours to kill, so we set off to aimlessly wander the streets of
