Anthony Pappa Resolution (Solstice)
I’ve been on a real Anthony Pappa
kick lately. Right now I’m listening to Resolution CD 2 Track 12,
“Solstice” at home and am blown away at how rich and full it sounds on
my piddly Altec Lansing computer speakers. I spend way too much
listening to my music turned down real low at work that I don’t
appreciate how good this stuff can sound in the a half way decent
environment.
Wanted: CS Know-it-all
Rory at
Neopoleon.com has an
interesting proposition for would-be Computer Science mentors.
Basically, he’s willing to pay for one-on-one tutoring in CS concepts
over the web.
Visiting Google
I just realized that I haven’t been to Google.com in a very long time. Maybe months. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’ve used Google plenty, but now with the IE Google bar and the Desktop Google bar, I have very few reasons to actually go to the Google front page. My view of Google lately has been search results.

Read MoreSteven Hawking's wife accused of physically abusing him
According to this
article,
Steven Hawking’s wife has been questioned by British detectives over
claims that she has been assaulting the brainy cosmologist (no, a
cosmologist is not someone who writes for Cosmo).
A lock statement with timeout...
Found this interesting post via Eric Gunnerson’s blog (PM for the C# compliler team) blog.
Read MoreEating too much
Don’t you hate it when you momentarily lose all
control and pig out like a death row inmate on his last meal? I need to
exhibit more self control during those “all you can eat” moments,
because I am so uncomfortable right now.
Atheist Calls Pledge Unconstitutional
How quickly would the pledge be altered if it ended “one nation under Allah” or “one nation under Buddah”?
Read MoreSnowboarding Weekend!
A group of us went
snowboarding at Mammoth mountain this past weekend to celebrate Judy’s
(Dan’s wife) birthday. I won’t be so uncouth to tell you how old she
turned. We stayed in a nice little condo with the 7 of us.
RE: Proposed Bible-based marriage laws
Found this on another website. Sorta ties into my earlier rant about Bush’s stance on the whole gay marriage issue:
Read MoreThose Crazy Brits are at it again
Austin would be so pround. I wonder what the
Queen thinks of all this wanton shagging going on? And I thought the
British were such a reserved people. Apparently so if we’re talking
about reserving a spot in the park for a romp.
TIP: Row by Row operations without cursors
In general, cursors suck ass! Ok, that’s a bit
extreme, but I have a long and ugly history with cursors. Let me diverge
here and tell you a true story.
U.S. Minority Groups on Rise by 2050
Being of mixed heritageI have both bases
covered. For now, I can claim my caucasian-ness and reap all the
benefits of being the dominant sub-culture. But once minorities surpass
caucasians, I can switch to

Proving the whole 6 degrees of separation thing, I finally received an invitation to Orkut. The thing that struck me was when highlighting a button I noticed this in the status bar:
Read MoreMeeting the Lender Today
We’re meeting the lender today to make the final preparations for the big loan. I thought college was expensive, but this is on a whole ‘nother level. For you out there who don’t live in California, I’m basically buying a small 1000 sq ft 2 bedroom 2.5 bathroom condo townhouse for probably the amount you could buy a mansion in Kentucky, or a four bedroom house in Seattle. This market is crazy, but we’re not ready to leave L.A. just yet. So it’s love it or buy it.

I can almost smell the smoky embers. Burning
Man tickets have already gone on sale. I tried to buy them in the mad
rush when they first came online at a discounted price to no avail.
Their servers basically decided to go on a vacation with the overload of
requests. I had a vision of one of them Japanese subway cars where they
have to shove people inside.
Very neat video
