I flew into Las Vegas yesterday for one of my best friend’s bachelor party. I had no desire to come to Vegas, but I have to say it’s cooler than I thought it would be. We’re staying at the MGM Grand, and I got to see a few other places yesterday and today. So far,…

The Media Problem
As I see it, there’s an inherent problem with the scenario that currently exists in the media, whereby people who go to school for… journalism, end up writing about everything else. For example, what exactly qualifies a writer to write about technology? Is it good enough that they once were considered a guru at their…

Upcoming Final Exams :-(
Sorry for the recent silence. I’ve had a rash of smaller tests at school, and now I’m prep’ing for finals. I took two classes this semester. Computer Science 102 (basically, a class in how to program in C++), and College Algebra (er, that’s essentially Algebra II). I have an “A” in both classes right now,…
