the anatomy of the away messageInstant messaging. Undoubtedly, this type of program, which has its roots in AOL 1.0 and Prodigy (as well as other early ISPs that I am vastly unaware of) has reshaped communications technology on all levels. People need not worry about long distances in order to discuss issues as large as the political world right ( Read more... )

Return of the King is possibly the greatest movie ever created in the history of mankind and surpasses every level of awesome achievable in the universe. It also, I think, breaks the laws of physics at least twice in a fifteen minute span and solves Fermat's Last Theorom using only long division and prime numbers ( Read more... )

read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. It will change your life. Or at the very least, your diet.

the rhythmI can't seem to get around to this LiveJournal thing. I changed the layout of my LJ, but I don't know if I'll keep it. It might be harder to read for people with smaller resolutions.

jigga wha?I now have DSL. I do not know what DSL stands for, but I feel that now that I'm paying for it with my own money, I don't need to. Expect more updates, as I have missed writing for so long. Two months doesn't seem like a long time in the grand scheme of things. Maybe just a mere blink in the cosmic eye, but try hitting yourself in the head ( Read more... )

I'm the only one left in my department right now, which means the room is all mine. I can play whatever music I want. God I miss posting on LiveJournal. I miss reading everyone's thoughts and feeding the voyeur within me. I miss writing. I don't have an internet connection at my house yet, so I do all my emailing and IMing at work. Wise? Probably ( Read more... )

To everyone reading this, this is the last you'll be hearing from me for a few weeks. I'm getting set up as quickly as I can in my new digs, so I'll try to get some internet access whenever possible. So for you LiveJournal friends, keep it interesting because I'll be looking at weeks of back entries whenever I finally get online. Don't think I'm ( Read more... )

I fucking hate U-Haul. A dead monkey with half a brain could run U-Haul better than the assbags that run it now. Don't ever rent from them. Don't ever recommend them. Don't visit their website. If a U-Haul commercial comes one, leave the room or throw a heavy object at the TV. If you see a U-Haul employee, you are legally allowed to run up and kick ( Read more... )
