Radio Silence

No… haven’t posted in awhile. I’m not going to say I’ll stop this exercise entirely, but it will probably stay slow for awhile; it’s okay, that’s what RSS feeds are there for.

I’m only taking one class this semester, but that class is [ominous chord] Calculus II. It’s been about 2 years since I took Calc I, and then trig the semester prior to that, so… you could say I’m a little rusty. So, the majority of my spare time will be divided between doing my current homework, while also refreshing my memory of innumerable trigonometric identities and derivatives/differentiating rules…

In the meantime, if you really have nothing else on the entire internet to read other than this blog, I guess you’ll have to go play outside for a bit. Enjoy.

Google Adds Themes to Personalized Home

If you have a Google account, and use the personalized home, you might have noticed a new little “Select Theme” link off to the right hand side.

Pretty cool, I think.

They actually did this a few weeks ago, but I’m just getting around to mumbling about it now. Perhaps that’s because saying Google added xyz new thing has become the equivalent of saying I breathed today, and I think I’ll do that tomorrow, too.

Harvey Dent (TwoFace) In the Next Batman movie?

I believe in Harvey Dent would seem to indicate that this is the case.

I haven’t read any Batman since Frank Miller’s Dark Night Returns, but Sam Logan (creator of Sam and Fuzzy) thinks this may be reminiscent of a Batman book called The Long Halloween.

I was not a raving fan of the movie Batman Returns, which I thought was not really as good as everyone else seemed to think. That being said, it was a lot better than the last batch of BatClooney movies, and I’m sure I’ll see the next one.

Are We Going To Stop Buying CDs?

So, in the light of how cheap it is to get music online, from P2P (free) to Russian MP3 sites (ultra-cheap) to iTunes, et al. (the One True Endorsed And Accepted Price For Songs) — why buy CDs?

I just ordered one, and I think there’s still a lot of reasons.

Illinois 8-Year-Old Finds Bag of Marijuana in McDonald’s Happy Meal

Illinois 8-Year-Old Finds Bag of Marijuana in McDonald’s Happy Meal

We know it says happy meal, but that’s not what we thought it meant.

Hi, I’m Ruby

Rails vs PHP…

From Rails Envy; don’t miss part 1 (Rails vs Java) as well.

Everybody loves a technology snob, if that technology snob is willing to take the time to be entertaining.

I saw a bank that said “24 Hour Banking”, but I don’t have that much time.

Blue Like Jazz

Recently finished Blue Like Jazz.

Very good book; I recommend it. It’s subtitled “Non-religious thoughts on Christian Spirituality,” which probably summarizes the content as well as anything. I found it a very quick, very good read.

From Russia With Love: Or, How To Buy Music Online

I don’t necessarily write a lot about it, but I’m a music nut. I guess it’s fashionable to say you like all styles of music, but I honestly can’t say there’s any style I don’t like. (That being said, there is certainly music within each genre that I either like or dislike… but anyways…)

Obtaining music online is pretty easy, and there are a lot of different ways to do it.

Jesus vs. Christians

No, it’s not the latest celebrity deathmatch; it’s a video from Scott Hodge’s blog:

I know the blogosphere is all about adding one’s two cents to the conversation, but for now I think I’ll let that one speak for itself.

International Talk Like Bob Dylan Day

Just a head’s up; apparently, May 24th is International Talk Like Bob Dylan Day

Is this a real day? Because if it isn’t, maybe it should be. Heck, who am I kidding? Every day is Talk Like Bob Dylan Day.
