Just so you all know, if you ever need to beat anyone to death with a volume of United States Code, pick Title 47. It's big and fat and all about telecommunications. I wouldn't have known anything about it if I wasn't giving a presentation on network neutrality tomorrow in class, but now that I do, it's my weapon of choice.

That is all. Carry...

I was reading about flash mobs the other night, and an idea came to me. This is going to require a little back story, so bear with me.

Sometime last week, I stumbled upon a story in Der Spiegel Online about the German Apple Front. The GAF is a group of young kids, some counter-cultural, who get together to watch movies, play games, and...

Yeah, makes alot of sense.
Organization from cell phone and text message has been a major force in 2nd world countries from what I recall, places where the technology has moved in much faster than freedom of press.

I'm still trying to grok the whole RSS thing, more the tools than the concept. IM, too. I try to do as much at the commandline as possible, with firefox and xmms being my chief compromises.

I read your comment. You had a question about the gpl link?

What's your school focus / prog language of choice? I'm not a real programmer, but I'd rather use a real language to solve a data problem and *learn something* rather than use Excel and remain blind/dumb smile I've been spending alot of time with R lately - it makes *lovely* graphs, outputs eps, png, etc.

ok, time for another post.

i'm sitting here in the library, desperately trying to shake the clutches of procrastination. i'm supposed to be working on some take-home problems for programming languages (which, strangely enough, are for a take-home test that is being given out tomorrow. take-home problems for a take-home test? come on: not fair. anyway, i digress) or any one of a number of...

it's thursday morning. i just got back from riding my bike down to the co-op and back up the gi-normous hill that our fair school is perched atop of, and now i'm sitting, just kind of looking out the window, zoning out and thinking.

i had this wonderful daydream of sitting on a patio somewhere, drinking a nice cold beer and grillling a whole bunch...

i am incredibly lucky.

i go to a good school, i have great friends, i (usually) have enough money to get me by. my classes are tough, but the education is something that i will treasure a lifetime.

after reading the newswires tonight, i think i have something else that is very important: a post-graduation job that doesn't require me to commute by car. i'd...

word. the way of the world will soon be oh-so-more local than now. and it will hurt and be worth it.

i suppose i should write something here so that the annoying red text goes away. i doubt it will be terribly interesting, but at least i made the effort, right?

i hate writing papers. i'm taking a break from writing one right now. you'd think that after 4 years of college, i'd learn to start these things earlier, but here i am, working on a...
