I have found The Best Page In The Universe. Make sure to check out “I am better than your kids” which is a frank assessment of preschool drawings, and “When is the last time a whale did anything for you?”

(Warning to Margaret: this post contains a graphic description of a foot.)
The other day, while playing basketball, I sprained my ankle pretty badly. While I was driving the lane, my friend Jason (who’s quite big) moved to block my path. But instead of blocking me, we just tripped each other. He ended up falling on […]

Giving new meaning to ‘home page’, mc.clintock.com is a hierarchical inventory of every item in the McClintock residence. It’s remarkable how much privacy he gives up by putting everything in his house online. It’s also remarkable that this extensive inventory is hard to maintain and not very useful. But it’s cool nonetheless.

I went to the Empire Club for the first time. It is the most pathetic club imaginable. A friend of a friend’s band was playing, The Tease I think they’re called. The bassist works at The Spot and was introduced as ‘Frankel, The Spot Guy’. That was the high point. Low points included a cover […]

McDonald’s test-markets Spam. I can’t even remember the last time I ate at McDonald’s, but this is really gross.

Yesterday I returned home to Binghamton, NY for the summer. It’s so good to be home. I spent the afternoon gossiping with my sister and her friends. Then I watched the Lakers game and hit up the Spot diner with my friends.
Sufficient water pressure is an underrated nicety of being home. The water pressure in […]

An quote from A.N. Whitehead’s Modes of Thought, page 15:
“Great advances in thought are often the result of fortunate errors. These errors are the result of oversimplification. The advance is due to the fact that, for the moment, the excess is not relevant to the use of the simplified notions. One of the chief examples […]

Final exams are winding down. I had my math exam this morning, conviently scheduled at the same time as graduation. Little did I know that graduation was accompanied by a swarm of bagpipers, and ringing the bell in Rockefeller Chapel for 15 minutes straight. It was quite annoying.
But fortunately I’m the stoic type. I think […]

Thank you Evelyn.
I have a computer science final in 11 minutes. “So friggen poopers !!!!!!!!!!!!“

What I really think: the Chris Matthews weblog. Matthews (from MSNBC’s Harball) is far and away my favorite television journalist. Now he, along with other MSNBC commentators, have weblogs. While weblogs aren’t only for journalists, it will be interesting to see how these coporate-sponsored weblogs will mesh with the grass-roots libertarianism (decentralized, anarchic iconoclasm) of […]

North Gate, UC Berkeley’s journalism school, is offering a course on weblogs. Certainly weblogs can be a useful medium for journalists, but the course description construes weblogs too narrowly: “Some are run by journalists, while others operate in competition with journalists.” Some, I think, have nothing to do with journalism — they’re people’s rants and […]

Tonight was pretty sweet. Some U of C friends and I drove up to Evanston for a NU rock ‘n’ roll party featuring Never Ending Story (Adele’s band). It was a lot like U of C parties, except I felt more liberated because I didn’t know most people. It was cool hanging out with Adele, […]
