Now this is what I've been looking for. Ishouldbeworking.com has games, jokes, cartoons, a panic button, everything you need to slack off.

The box of my Round Table pizza says "The Last Honest Pizza." About time! I'm sick of all those other skank-ass pizzas lying and cheating on me.

1 out of 10 computers possessed by Satan. Not mine, my computer's agnostic.

Excellent article about the increasing power of corporations.
Corporatism: "A system in which industrial and professional corporations fund and dominate politics, circumvent government and other forms of regulation, expand globally beyond accountability, alter the nature of work, marginalize individuals, and exercise monopolistic control over technology, culture, information and commerce within their jurisdictions."
The sad part is that most people don't care. Just by talking to my friends and people in my dorm it's obvious they don't give a fuck that corporations are slowly but surely taking over every aspect of our lives. It seems to me they just accept that, in a few a short years, the only place they can shop is the Gap, the only place they can eat is McDonald's, the only music they can listen to is the latest pop bullshit. The future is bleak.

Went to the driving range this afternoon and hit some balls. That guy who drives the, uh, golfball-picking-up car must have the worst job in the whole world. As soon as he gets on the field everyone aims for him. At least, I do.

Good interview with Trent Reznor about gaming and music, uh, stuff.

Interview with Ron Gilbert, the creator of my favorite game, The Secret of Monkey Island.

Damn, I'm having a really good day. Midterm for software engineering this morning was fairly easy. I think I only missed 1 problem on my AI quiz this afternoon. And the homework from last night was easy too. I can't believe what a good day it's been. I just know tomorrow will really suck. I'll probably die or something.

The Co-Evolutionary Robot Soccer Show is a very cool game where you evolve a robot soccer player and have it play other robots. Next up: robot soccer hooligans.

Adventures in phonetic spelling!!!

I finally found a place near me that sells Jolt cola. Sleep is for the weak!

Finished with my algorithms homework already and I just had a fancy Cinco De Mayo dinner in the dining hall. I'm feeling good for the first time in a long time.

Fixed up Macintosh Colour Classics. I could never do that; I'd be scared shitless cutting up my computer. These are like the high tech versions of those Impalas that've been turned into lowriders.

This is so sad: Schoolboy gets 15 years for killing mother.

Everybody's getting sick in my dorm. I'm sick too. I'm sick of the Man keeping me down.

Lately I've been shopping around for a digital camera. I'd prefer a SLR camera with changeable lenses and all that, but those are way too expensive. So instead I've narrowed it down to a Canon Powershot S10. The cool thing about the S10 is that this place sells lens adapters for it. Very cool. The S10 can also use those 340 mb IBM Microdrives. It's small too, so I won't mind carrying it around with me.

I'm a little bummed out I couldn't get tickets to NIN at the Pond in Anaheim. I suppose I could try to get some on eBay for, like, $150, but I don't like them that much. Ah well, maybe next tour. Then I was looking at the post-show videos of fans. Damn, how the hell did these jackoffs get tickets? I can't believe they actually put videos of these people on the official website too.

Another busy week, so not many posts lately. I'll try to make it up....uh....when I have free time...which'll probably be during summer vacation.

Here's a bunch of little articles about the increasing commercialization of every aspect of our lives. The first piece about Coke is especially fucked up.

The mission statements generated by this sound exactly like the writing on brochures I get at the job fair we have on campus each year.

I could play with this gravity / anti-gravity applet all day (Yes, I'm easily amused).

If I walked around wearing this computer I'd get my ass kicked. It still looks very cool though.

Heh heh, the government has problems hiring IT workers.

Went home for the weekend. I kept thinking I was missing something here at the dorms, but, no surprise, nothing happened while I was gone. Hmmm...I used to think college would be like Animal House or Revenge of the Nerds. Maybe that's only in the Midwest. California people are too relaxed to do that sort of thing.
