Dazed & Confused

I really ought to have gone to sleep last night.
When I’m tired, I can’t handle context changes. I should be doing some reviews, but switching from books to web research to writing is just impossible for now. Focus, however, isn’t a problem. This morning I built a fairly complex relational database pretty easily. Now that [...]

Waste of Time

So I’ve got a whole bunch of things to do, and what do I spend an hour doing? Making my desktop look pretty:

My first virus moment

I’m on a Windows computer at work. Two senders, one with a Dartmouth address, sent me messages with the subject “Re: Movie” and containing a zip-file attachment. Normally, on my Mac I would download the file and check it out and maybe throw it out. That’s what I nearly did.
Then it hit me. I’m on [...]

Rastaman

Met a twentysomething fake Rasta / black jew on Dupont. Playing bongos until he met a hippy girl from canada who gave him a backrub. They left together on his two person bike, swerving everywhere.

Drool

I want one.
Does that make a dork or just a fan of functional, minimalist design?

Blogging failure

One can’t blog about everything, unfortunately. Some topics are, for whatever reason, inappropriate. I think I stumbled upon one today (more like had it thrown at me). Maybe Angharad’s around. Probably not, though.

Campaign finance reform

Wrt incumbents… Antidemocratic?
(above posted from my cell; I plan on posting more ideas and thoughts when I have them and then filling in the details later when I’m at the computer)
Charlie Cook made the point on “Morning Edition” that campaign finance reform has kept a lot of would-be challengers out of the field this time [...]

Post from my phone

This is posted with my sony t69i mobile phone. Pretty neat, eh? I think so.

Sweet Nothing

Blogger is really easy to use. We’ve used it for the past year and a half on dartlog.net and only once or twice has anyone asked me any questions about it or had any problems (aside from its being down from time to time). It lacks a lot of the features and polish of MT [...]

Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style

Tomorrow and Saturday are apartment-hunting days. Somehow I’ve managed to avoid this process before, but this time I couldn’t get out of it. Reading the classifieds is so enlightening; everyone should do it from time to time. These restrictions kept popping up:
- vegetarian
- kosher
- gay m/f
- communicative (what does that mean?)
- NS (no smoking)
- light [...]
