Steve’s site looks different from the last time I checked it, which was a while ago. His friends page is different too (I’m wearing a leisure suit in that picture).I miss Steve and the rest of the crew…

Wantwit.com is Todd’s new web site. He’s lives three doors down from me.

Nancy’s Guide to Winning a

Monday, October 30th, 2000

Nancy’s Guide to Winning a Boy’s Heart is really good. The same guide definitely applies to guys, and maybe more so. For guys, it is more rare to have a confidant to whom one can express emotions because society tells guys that they shouldn’t discuss their feelings with other guys. Therefore, we […]

“Probable impossibilities are preferable to implausible probabilities.“from Aristotle’s Poetics, translated by Malcolm Heath
What a fun sentence to say! If you were me, you would say that sentence aloud a few times to get a full appreciation of how entertaining it is to hear. I like all the ‘p’ and ‘b’ sounds.
Unfortunately, in terms […]

Maybe I wouldn’t have to pull all-nighters if I had the proper work environment. . .

Princess Silver said that I’m cute. (look on the left under image links). That made my day. Thanks.

I’m pulling my first all-nighter

Wednesday, October 18th, 2000

I’m pulling my first all-nighter at college. I have 500 words left to write (ooh, that’s a pun - get it? left to right.) on the topic of [In Plato’s Republic] Is SocratesÕ use of myths and lies consistent with his claim that philosophers, i.e. lovers of truth, should rule? Do some […]

I remember back in the

Monday, October 16th, 2000

I remember back in the days of the Glassdog.org message boards when Skizz dropped out of high school to be a web designer. Everybody thought it was a bad idea, and maybe it was. But on the other hand, at least he is doing some awesome web design, in the style he calls Flashturbating.

My friend David forwarded me

Friday, October 13th, 2000

My friend David forwarded me this Washington Post article about the current violence in the Middle East. The article makes veiled comparisons between Palestinian leader Yassar Afarat and Hitler, and also implies that US and Israeli policies are ‘appeasing’ Arafat’s aggressions. The article gives a justified perspective on the causes of the conflict, […]

Never has the Middle East

Friday, October 13th, 2000

Never has the Middle East crisis been so close to home. A girl who lives upstairs knew one of the Israeli soldiers lynched Wednesday.
There is a sick irony that people must murder each other in order to live in “freedom” in God’s Promised Land. Is this what God intended people should do for […]

I pray that the violence subdues in the Middle East.

I agree with Nancy that

Friday, October 13th, 2000

I agree with Nancy that college is quite testing of time management skills, yet the sense of productivity makes it an incredible experience. For example, I could be doing homework right now, instead of writing this. But if I was doing homework, I wouldn’t be surfing college newspaper web sites so I have […]

Today at dinner, the topic

Today at dinner, the topic of discussion was National Coming Out Day.

Saturday, October 7th, 2000

Using Starfish TrueSync, I published my datebook online. It’s automatically updated everytime I HotSync my Visor.My reason for uploading my datebook to the web was based on the assumption that people actually care to know what I’m doing every minute of the day, which is example of Internet-induced narcissism. Just like this web page.

Friday, October 6th, 2000

McSweeny’s Internet Tendency is a really interesting web site. The content is very clever, and the design is elegant and original.The fine people over at the Chicago Maroon, the newspaper of which I am now an employee, showed McSweeny’s to me as an example of excellent web site design. A brief note about […]

For the first time today, I was able to finish my Honors Calculus homework today in under three hours! I was anticipating spending so much more time on it. I have the whole evening free now. . .

While you’re not at your computer, have your computer search for ET: download SETI@home. Even if you don’t go to the University of Chicago, you can join the U of C SETI@home team, ranked third of all University teams. We know. We bad.
