College is such an amazing experience. This is the first week of classes, and they seem to be going very well. I’m taking Honors Calculus, Physics, Classics of Social and Political Thought, and Media Aesthetics. I haven’t done math homework in the past 7 years, and now all of a sudden I’m […]

There was a big gas leak in our dorm today. We had to evacuate. News crews and helicopters were all over the campus, not to mention police and fire trucks. Fortunately, my dorm room, and this uninsured computer didn’t explode.

Today I’m wearing blue jeans and stopped putting gel in my hair, just like the Butabi’s feared would happen at college in Night at the Roxbury.

I’m linked to, in spanish. To satisfy my own curiousity, I’d be very appreciative of anyone who would translate this for me (Adele?).

U of C is amazing. Virtually everyone I meet is really interesting. An hour ago in the bookstore, two people just randomly started talking to me, and we got into an intellectual conversation spanning the topics of Ayn Rand to string theory. Todd, who lives down the hall, is a great soccer […]

I am standing on the precipice, looking out on to an unformed future, waiting for me to give it shape.

Two more days until I leave for Chicago…

I have the song Love Me or Leave Me by Nina Simone in my head. It’s a really awesome song.

When people go to far to make a point:Somebody has posted the source code for the infamous DeCSS to all comp.* Usenet groups. What is DeCSS you might ask? Well here’s my unsolicited opinion on the fiasco:When the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America, which is to the movie industry as the RIAA […]

Ooh, spiffy: an MP3 player for my Visor. Too bad it costs more than my Visor…

Cool! Eamon Daly created a program that allows me to blog from my Handspring Visor. This entry actually, was composed on my handheld.Also, Adele spotted another person with the blue model of the Handspring Visor today at Lost Dog Cafe, where we took our high school English teacher out to lunch.

Oh, my goodness.You know, in the movie Legends of the Fall, when the narrator says of Brad Pitt’s character: “He was a stone that other people smashed themselves against”?Sometimes I feel like that.

Ten days left until I’m off to Chicago.

At 9 AM today, I’m off to visit Ari at Cornell. I miss Ari, so it’ll be good to see him, and Ithaca can be a pretty fun town.
