StumbleUpon Thinks I am a Lazy Internet Geek

I saw the above maintenance page for StumbleUpon which says "We’ll be right back! In the mean time why don’t you go outside and play for awhile" just a moment ago and thought "Ha, that is kind of funny…playing outside rather than on the internet!" And then I realized that earlier today I [...]

My Internet Addictions

I have known for a long time that I am a tad addicted to the internet…but it is only recently that I’ve begun to identify the sites that I really depend on for my sanity. I think that I compulsively monitor and use these sites…something that may not be healthy.

Gmail - Seriously, who [...]

France Surrenders To the Résistance of the People. So should the rest of the world.

In case you missed it, I feel it important to pass on: France has surrendered the Olympic torch relay through Paris because of growing protests according to the New York Times . And there are now people climbing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to protest the relay coming through the city on [...]

Good People Day 2008 [Part 2: The List Begins]

I sometimes ramble and post totally random stuff on this blog (though sometimes I like to think that I post some interesting stuff) so first off as part of Good People Day , I’d like to just thank everyone who might be reading this in their RSS reader or browser. So thanks for [...]

Good People Day 2008 [Part 1]

For those of you who haven’t yet noticed, I love social media. I like it far more than I think is healthy, but its the good kind of fanaticism that makes you devour every scrap of information you can find and then run out to tell everyone about it. It started when I [...]

Some People Have Casual Friday; I Got Chaos Friday.

Last Friday (15 February 2008) was quite the day for me…and by that, I mean it was the single most ridiculous day of my entire life. In order to convey the feeling of helplessness and geo-spatial influences which made it so, I have included the below Google Map to provide a walkthrough of my [...]

My Venue Change and Life Upgrade

My original title for this post was going to be: </college> but I decided that that is to nerdy even for me.
Anyhow, in the morning I am hopping in my overladed Honda Accord and driving to St. Louis to start my new job ! I have gotten a lot of support and well-wishes from [...]

Moving Up and Moving On

Over the last three and a half years, I have had quite the adventure at the University of Missouri…going from a 11′x13′ un-air conditioned cinder block dorm room in the honors college with a 3 a.m. bed time before ROTC exercises at 5:30 a.m. to a stint as student body vice president, Friday nights consisting [...]

Strumming My Guitar On The Dusty Trail…

This post really has nothing to do with my guitar (which I just got 2 days ago without knowing how to play it…it is now my most prized possession) or any kind of trail with excessive dust issues. It’s just that at this moment, I am sitting at my iMac strumming my guitar and [...]
