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…

Call me Mr. 4.0
Well, I got an “A” in my math class, too! I was expecting a B or maybe an A-, so this is really really good news. My cumulative GPA now (er, with a whole two courses under my belt, mind you), is a 4.0!
My comp sci grade
Hey all, Good news. My final grade in my Computer Science 102 class was a 99.38, which is an A!! Turns out I got the highest score on the final exam as well – a 100.5 (there were extra credit problems, which account for the .5). I should find out my math scores tomorrow. I’ll…
The Curse of Geekhood
Being a geek is a blessing and a curse. The blessing part is that I haven’t seen any popups, gotten a virus, had a catastrophic desktop system crash, or had any of the issues people complain about every day. It’s also nice that if I need software to do something it currently doesn’t do, I…
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,…
Ongoing war with my lawn, and harvesting rainwater.
The war with my lawn has resumed with the arrival of weather warm enough to stay outside for more than an hour without various extremeties changing color on me. I was out there all weekend, and discovered that, for each separate area of my lawn, there are different issues. I’m pretty much at a loss,…
My pool game still sucks
Well, I’m getting a lot of what I lost over the years back, but I still basically suck. I’m back to the point where, in 9-ball, if I can put start the cueball wherever I want after the break, just for the first shot, I can usually either clear the rack, or come damned close….
Excuses for my poor pool game
Once I had a pool table in my house, it didn’t take me long to realize that my pool game is not what it once was. Lucky for me, I have one huge glaring issue I can blame it on: lighting. Most people don’t realize when they see pool on tv that a lot of…
Newsflash: Other People Exist
I have to say that I think the level of self-absorption in people has reached new highs, and I can’t help but be somewhat shocked. Yesterday, in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, a woman was, for a good 5 solid minutes (a long time to deal with it), endlessly pressing buttons on her…
