I got a Christmas present

Tuesday, June 20th, 2000

I got a Christmas present today. It was a book my father hid in a closet and subsequently forgotten. We were cleaning it out today, and we came across it. Cool.The book is The Zinn Reader : Writings on Disobedience and Democracy by Howard Zinn. I highly recommend this book, but [...]

If I’m feeling very unoriginal,

If I’m feeling very unoriginal, but have the insatiable urge to blog, I go to metalog.

One gigabyte hard drives from

Tuesday, June 20th, 2000

One gigabyte hard drives from IBM the size of a matchbox, for only $500. That would make one sweet portable MP3 player.Speaking of MP3s, I downloaded the Magnolia soundtrack today. One of the songs is Dreams by Gabrielle. Back in 7th grade, I had that song stuck in my head when Laura [...]

CNN.com - London’s dung-spitting competition draws support, criticism. I’ll never understand people.

Us web narcissists like to

Monday, June 19th, 2000

Us web narcissists like to check our referrer logs often. I keep seeing rainy.net and Nostalgia on the log, but I can’t find where on their sites they link to me.Stranger than fiction…

I’m trying to sqeeze this

Saturday, June 17th, 2000

I’m trying to sqeeze this blog entry in right before midnight.
The graduation party thing started today, and will be going strong for the next two weeks. I played Trivial Pursuit with friends tonight, and lost miserably.
What if nothing matters, ever? What if we die, and that really is the end, and our souls [...]

Two of my friends recently got weblogs - Melissa and Kerri. Both their weblogs are really cool. So you should check them both out. :-)

Work until 10. Hang out at Ellie’s house until 12. Go to Denny’s until 1. Play basketball in the park until 2. Go home, shower, blog. (Nocturnal) life is good.

I’m off to work right

Thursday, June 15th, 2000

I’m off to work right now, even though I would much rather be inventing cybernetic brain implants. But, as my mom elucidated, I’m working to earn money to go to college to learn to invent cybernetic brain implants. Somehow that’s not very motivating.

What I’m going to invent:In

Thursday, June 15th, 2000

What I’m going to invent:In my lifetime, I hope to see humans become cyborgs, that is, living entities with both human and robotic components. Already, people such as Kevin Warwick have benefited from having computers chips implanted in their skin, becoming a very simple cyborg. Mobile computing is growing very quickly, yet one [...]

I just added Stephanie, who was mentioned before, to the ‘friends+favs’ section to the right.

Tuesday, June 13th, 2000

Well, it seems that I have gone through yet another web designer’s rite of passage. Somebody ripped off the design to ktheory.com, so I had to get all nasty and sent them a cease and desist letter. I even sent one to the domain’s owner too. (ooh.) It’s sort of flattering [...]

A few weeks ago, I

Tuesday, June 13th, 2000

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I my future dream job is at Zero-Knowledge. Well, now I can also add Razorfish to that list.
Actually, my friend Dave, who is going to the Stern School of Business at NYU, told me that he wanted to learn Chinese, because he felt that China would be [...]

Monday, June 12th, 2000

As of 12:05PM today, I am totally through with high school. On the surface, it’s exciting. Beneath the surface, it’s pretty scary. But below that, it’s really exciting again.

Grace pointed out to me that the symbols at the very bottom of this page are Chinese, not Japanese. Thanks Grace, the faux pas in no more.

Ooh! I just got to

Sunday, June 11th, 2000

Ooh! I just got to the chapter in Fountainhead where Roark rapes Dominique. It’s so good! Well, not rape in general, of course, but this raping is unique because Dominique wants to be raped and enjoys it. Is it really rape then?
Some thoughts on the book:Well, I generally like the book. [...]
