Yo, Tell My Girl

Thursday, September 30th, 2004

Sorry to those of you who may have been welcomed by a dns error or something of that nature over the last couple of days. Obviously, I have some of the best hosting around. Actually, this time I guess it wasn’t really something they could control. A hard drive went bad on them, and I [...]

There’s Plenty More Where That Came From

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2004

This is just another example of why people hate Americans. And quite frankly, this makes me hate Americans too … People Complaining About Oprah’s Free Pontiacs You know what, I’m not the biggest Oprah fan, but if she continues to give free stuff away after this (and I’m 99.9% positive she will) then that just [...]

Bitter But Over It

Friday, September 17th, 2004

Let’s talk a little bit about university supported onlineemployee recruitment systems – more specifically systems that allow employers to screen for specific applicants based on degree. First, the run down. Basically the way this thing works is an employer posts a job and then they have the option to only accept online applications from students [...]

A New Way of Life

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

On the heels of an inspiring vote of confidence from my thesis advisor in the form of a “You will finish by December”, I have decided it is time to start seriously considering career options. So far I’ve begrudgingly given up on the possibilities of singing or playing musical instruments for money (since I can’t [...]

Double Take

If I hadn’t just spent Saturday night hanging out with him and didn’t know for sure he doesn’t have kids, I would swear this guy was Dan.

Nickels and Dimes

Friday, September 10th, 2004

Do you ever catch yourself saying something that you realize right before you say it that you’re tired of hearing people say it? Say what? Exactly. Ok, that wasn’t a good way to get my point across. Example: I was going to write something along the lines of, “if I had a nickel for everytime [...]

Funnier Said Than Done

Thursday, September 9th, 2004

Continuing with the theme of relying on other people’s comedic brilliance to keep my blog alive, a quote from Autoblog regarding some sketchy mileage estimates of increasingly popular hybrid cars: The Big T and Big H refuse to change their numbers, saying that their averages are attainable if your hybrid is equipped with ice cubes [...]

Bob Knows Best

Wednesday, September 8th, 2004

As an Industrial Engineer (no longer in training, more like “perfecting”), I should find it incredibly interesting. I should coo and caw in amazement. I should thank the forecasting gods for their grace in blessing us with such technological know-how. Heck, even as a consumer, I should be grateful for the seconds – perhaps even [...]

On Music Obsession

Friday, September 3rd, 2004

I’ve found myself inextricably bound to two songs by two different artists the last couple of days. The first, “Fool LIke Me” by Nathan Davis is a amazing and I feel guilty about only listening to the free version I got off his website. The problem is I don’t really like the version on iTunes [...]

When Artistry Meets Natrual Disaster

Wednesday, September 1st, 2004

I would have just linked this, but I’m not familiar with weather.com’s archiving capabilities so I’m just going t quote it all. This must be the most beautifully written hurricane report I’ve ever read in my entire life. Now I know what it takes to become a Sr. Meteorologist. Frances continues inexorably toward U. S.12:03 [...]
