I don’t know why the story of the British super high-tech spy rocks amuses me so, but it really does. I think it’s because something that seems like it’s from a bad James Bond movie might actually exist in real life. It sort of reminded me of when the Daily Show recently had a former ...

The good news is I’m done with the test that’s been driving me nuts for the last couple of weeks. So, no more bitching about that until I get the results back in 6-8 weeks. Although I haven’t bitched about it here anywhere near as much as I have to…well, anyone that will listen. The ...

So my illustrious high school has had the wonderfully infamous honor of getting themselves exposed on The Smoking Gun. Before I go on, a bit of background about my high school. Most people who attend it are some combination of crazy and rich, some leaning a little more towards the crazy side, some leaning a ...

If you’re looking for a solution to getting your iPod to play in your car, don’t buy a Griffin SmartDeck. I wanted to replace my current makeshift system (a dissasembled and Frankensteined with electrical tape one of these and a Radio Shack cassette adapter). It sounds great, but there are two main problems with it: ...

I’m sorry posting’s been so light, I’m working a lot and trying to study and sleep enough, and it leaves me little time to do anything interesting enough to post about here.

Out of deference to those who have not yet seen the first part of the season premiere of 24, which aired tonight, I will limit my comments to the following: HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. This season is going to be awesome.

So I have to take a little test next weekend, and I bought a GRE prep book to prepare, since that’s roughly the closest thing to the test I’m taking. I glanced through the verbal/analytical part of it, thinking, OK, I need to review some vocab and some test-taking tactics, but otherwise, no problem. Then ...

No matter how stupid you thought the Klan was before, in reality, they’re stupider.

I went to drink milk with my breakfast this morning, and after passing the smell test, i poured a nice big glass. It did not pass the taste test. I don’t think I’ve ever had milk that tasted that sour while not giving off an odor that could be smelled from three feet away. The ...
