I do not regret the things I’ve done… →
So I need a place to compose my thoughts. The irony is that I need to compose my thoughts about writing, by writing, when in truth I don’t like writing very much. I don’t know where this dislike for writing originated from, but as far back as I can remember I had trouble putting my thoughts down on paper. I don’t seem to have a problem with speaking, which befuddles me because that is also...

I shall forget you presently, my dear,
So make the most of this, your little day,
Your little month, your little half a year,
Ere I forget, or die, or move away,
And we are done forever; by and by
I shall forget you, as I said, but now,
If you entreat me with your loveliest lie
I will protest you with my favorite vow.
I would indeed that love were longer-lived,
And oaths were not so...

So I clearly have too much to do. And am not doing it. Good job me.

Hiccups due to our fish ancestry →
Here’s a lovely bit of evolutionary trivia: Apparently our hiccups are caused because we’re descended from fish. That’s the argument that Neil Shubin, head of the University of Chicago’s anatomy school, makes in his new book Your Inner Fish. As a review of the book notes: Spasms in our diaphragms, hiccups are triggered by electric signals generated in...

Have you ever wanted to see what it looks like when a balloon pops in slow motion? What if we added a nice pair of wet tits to the equation? That’s what we thought. (Click the image to see the bouncy results.)

Reaching for the Sky Through The Compute Clouds →
On Friday, a massive outage occured at Amazon Web Services that generated a wave
of negativity and criticism in the blogosphere. Not long ago, Rackspace, one of the world’s largest hosting companies, experienced a outage that resulted in a similar reaction. When the backbone collapses, so do our favorite services. This makes
us mad. It makes us say things like: well, maybe we shouldn’t...
I love this tweet. It sounds like something out of a story: http://twitter.com/Molly23/statuses/725450862
Jumper wasn’t very good. I really liked the concept, I wish they had done a better job.
Awesome satirical post about liking Obama: http://slate.com/id/2184536

How hard could it be to find a pretty girl my age who loves books and is a whiz at the computer? Pretty damn hard apparently.

Turned on Spaz again. I haven’t tweeted in a week. I suck at this staying updated thing.

Patrick Healy / New York Times: For Clinton, Ohio and Texas Emerge as Key States to Win — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers increasingly believe that, after a series of losses, she has been boxed into a must-win position in the Ohio and Texas primaries on March 4, and she has begun reassuring anxious donors …
Wanna Beat Piracy? You Have to Do Better Than... →
Is piracy killing the record industry, or is the record industry just too slow and inert to adapt to the way business should be run nowadays, and that is online? My vote goes to the latter; in fact, I think they aren’t even trying hard enough.
An interesting article from Torrentfreak tells the story of a German indie record label Dependent Records which was forced to shut down and then decided...

Programming languages homework. This is so much easier than a year ago. Thank you functional programming wiring in my brain!
I feel like a sellout for listening to the Juno soundtrack. Why you ask? The movie’s premise terrified me. I think relationships scare me…
Ron Paul is awesome. He’s straight on the issues and isn’t following the polls. And **thats** what I want to see. But I’m still for Obama.
More Old Blogs →
I got the idea to search on archive.org for some of my blogs whose hosting disappeared (I was cheap back then, and didn’t back up data). So I found 2 of them. There might only have been 2, but I honestly can’t remember. I don’t even remember most of these posts. It’s strange to try to look back and realize you can’t remember anything.

I found some old blogs of mine. I read some posts and can’t remember what was really happening back then. I used to find the best quotes.
