After having stuffed myself with Turkey for lunch, I flipped the channels and tuned into a re-run of Jeopardy. Ken Jennings, the guy that won like 75 straight contests was on... I had not seen any of the episodes that he was on prior to today. What surprised me most was not how dominating he was, but rather it was how incredibly weak one of his ( Read more... )

Watching the Apprentice is an invaluable tool in tempering my skills as a leader. Although I strongly believe that I've characteristics that permit me to work well with others and to lead groups of individuals, I realize that there are still many things to learn to become a great leader. The past two episodes of the Apprentice has provided some ( Read more... )

What is it about France that people find so alluring? Since the start of the year, I know of 4 separate individuals that have visited there. One day, I guess I must see it for myself. One can only imagine what it must be like upon hearing the many stories that others have to tell. Alex, she's there right now exploring Paris for the second time ( Read more... )

I sold off two of my old computers today... $50 for everything. One might think I got swindled. Afterall, a 128Mb 100Mhz stick of ram is apparently still selling for about $50. I gave up two systems, including keyboards and speakers, and one 17" monitor. That is what I call a fire sale. I probably could have gotten $100-$150 easily from ( Read more... )

For some odd reason, I've been updating quite a bit during the past few days. Not really sure why. Do I have a lot on my mind? I don't know. I would have thought that all that was flowing through my head was the thought of deferred exams. Maybe, given that they are done with, I'm able to think more about stuff other than school. Rather than ( Read more... )

This bebo thing seems to be catching on pretty quickly. Spreads like fire in a bush. Get an invitation from one person, then another, and another.... I guess everybody discovers these things at the same time. Whether people actually maintain their contact info is another story.

I thought my 3 year MAXIM subscription had expired... apparently it has not :) However, the January issue is a bit late getting to me... but seeing how the February issue arrived today as well, I guess I can't really complain. In any case, I seemingly never can find the time to flip through them during recent months... so many issues that I've ( Read more... )

I'm hooked on 24. I don't know how I didn't stumble upon during its first three seasons. It is quite possible that it has become my new favourite show... possibly bumping aside Alias. It's not often that I tape shows that I'm unable to view when it scheduled to be on. Alias was one of those shows;24 apparently has become another. Alias was ( Read more... )

It's interesting to note that VHS has finally taken after that of the dodo ( Read more... )

In a sport like fencing, one would think that they'd be hard-pressed to find a hot looking womens fencer. So... that being the case, it must be even more rare to find one among the world's top ranked fencers. I, like the majority of people, would have thought the same, until I happened to come across Sylwia Gruchala, the world's #2 ranked women's ( Read more... )
