It’s begun.

Google H4×0r is a cool little easter egg [via /.]. Actually, you can choose lots of funky interface languages on the preferences page.
And oh yeah, we’re fucked.
Check out Back to Iraq 2.0, the weblog of a journalist soon going to Iraq (and watch the video of an AC-130 gunship “engaging” a building in Afghanistan).

This is Ruthie, guestblogging from a bench outside the Regenstein library. It’s sixty-eight degrees and breezy out. Students are strumming guitars, tossing footballs and frisbees around and generally doing things that only seem to happen in posed pictures for the college viewbook. I found Aaron on his way into the library and […]

Wired’s Future Fetish showcases potential computing applications for a decade from now. Their first object of technolust; the ‘iPhone’ from Apple which includes “an LCD arm cuff that includes a PDA, wireless Internet, a mini iPod, and, of course, a phone”. But from the picture, it seems to be running OS X. Hopefully, Apple will […]

Since my last mix CD met with some moderate success, I thought I’d post another track list I made a few weeks ago. This one’s called #1 Stunna, since it’s all hip-hop.

“Rosa Parks” (DJ Mattos remix) by Outkast, feat. Tupac and Snoop Doggy Dogg*
“Thieves in the Night” by Mos Def and Talib Kweli
“Paparazzi” by Xzibit
“What?” […]

I used to think that the Chicago Reader had the best Missed Connections. I would read them immediately after reading the syndicated columns Savage Love and Straight Dope. The main appeal was thinking how I was less pathetic than all those people who paid for missed connection ads. And I entertain the possibility that I […]

Elizabeth Smart, the young girl kidnapped last summer, was found alive after two women recognized her and her suspected kidnapper, Emmanuel, in Salt Lake City. Cool beans. No news yet on whether she was assaulted though.
The Beastie Boys have released an mp3 on their web site that is “a statement against an unjustified war”. I’d […]

I made a wicked good mix CD last night. I can’t believe how good it is. I’ve already listened to it three times today. Here’s the track list:

“The District Sleeps Alone Tonight”, The Postal Service
“Such Great Heights”, The Postal Service
“This Place Is a Prison”, The Postal Service
“Lux Aeterna”, Clint Mansell with Kronos Quartet
“Never Is a […]

Last Wednesday, the I participated in a nationwide student walk-out protesting the coming war in Iraq. The protest was well attended with Rockefeller Chapel being filled to capacity (I’d estimate one thousand students participated). The best speaker at the rally was Poly Sci powerhouse John Mearsheimer. I’m trying to get a hold of the transcript […]

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestant accused of using pagers and coughs to cheat.
Mozilla as the killer weblogging app. I agree with Matt and use almost all the features he cites. Tabbed browsing forever.
My friend and fellow U of C student J.S. Irick is interviewed in a […]

The other day, my girlfriend was reading McSweeney’s #8.
“Is that McSweeney’s?” I asked, recognizing our common taste in literature. “A few years ago I read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers and saw him speak at the Harold Washington Library. I also read the McSweeney’s web site. It’s pretty funny.”
“Aaron, you’re […]

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was arrested by Pakestani officials and turned over to the US. He is considered the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks as well as the terroris bombings of US embassies in Africa, the USS Cole, and a synagogue in Djerba. After bin Laden, Mohammed was the FBI’s most wanted fugitive.
Followup on Fleischer’s denial […]

BuzzFlash is reporting that White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was laughed off the stage while he denied claims that the Bush administration has sought to buy the votes of UN Security Council members.
“A reporter asked about a French report that says Bush is offering a bundle of concessions (and I think she actually said […]
