“What do you think it will take to restore the confidence and trust of the American people in corporate America?” There are two main reasons that can account for the corporate crisis that America currently finds itself in. One is the ideology of pragmatism that influences most future businesspeople. The philosophy of pragmatism stresses “practical [...]
Every Election Day people voice a seemingly patriotic idea that our greatest right as Americans is our “right to vote”. If voting is truly our greatest right one must consider the implication. Our other rights—freedom of speech, freedom of property, and even our freedom to exist as rational human beings—are dependent on the whims of [...]
[After I woke up at 7:30 PM and distinguished the two Joe's on the floor as White Joe and Black Joe:] Joe Sunder: You scare all the girls away with your racist and vampire tendencies. Scott Schubert: I’ve never seen an actor make Keanu Reeves look like a fucking genius… Thanks Paul Walker. Greg: “What [...]
Went with the guys to see Anchorman. Definitely in the top 10 funny movies of all time. Memorable quotes from the movie… Veronica Corningstone : Mr. Burgundy, I am a professional and I’d appreciate it if you stopped acting like a baby! Ron Burgundy : I’m not a baby, I’m a MAN, I am an [...]
On the way to class, it’s an uncommon sight to see less then 20 people with the familiar white headphones characteristic of iPods ending into a winter jacket. I’d be surprised if the ratio of iPod owners to non-owners is less than 1:5. If the average size of an iPod is 20GB and Bloomington has [...]
As the 2004 presidential election nears, Americans have and will continue to hear Kerry and his supporters demand that we “narrow the gap” between the incomes of the rich and the poor. However in reality gap isn’t the “injustice” liberals claim it to be. The lefts view starts from the false assumption that economic inequality [...]
I’m hesitant to list this here because of the amount of random pointless messages people will send me. However, against my better judgment I’m going to post it with the hope that morons don’t abuse it. Not only is it annoying to keep having to check your phone, but costs $.02/message. Unless you are a [...]
Yesterday around 12:45AM, I went with Kate to Steak & Shake. It probably wasn’t the best of ideas considering I had to pull an all-nighter to study for my Finite and K201 Practical midterms but it was fun. We entered the restaurant soon after a guy (let’s call him J-Bob) who was soon to become [...]
Well the past 8 hours have been a complete waste. It’s nearing 6 in the morning, yet I’m still not asleep. So how did I manage to waste time today? Well, I BS-ed the way through the Knowledge Checks. We didn’t ‘do’ any of them, just used probability to our advantage and ‘guessed’ on them. [...]
Have you ever met someone and after talking with them for 15 minutes you knew you could be friends with them forever? You can sense that they are completely genuine. They say what they mean, and mean what they say. They don’t pretend; they act. They understand they are better then most people, yet never [...]
Lately I’ve been noticing these stickers on vehicles all over the place. For a while I didn’t pay much attention to them, for I assumed they were advertisements for W Hotels. It wasn’t until seeing one up close that I realized they were actually a clever, and in my mind groundbreaking political ad for George [...]
No, this isn’t a morbid entry, a cry for help, or a political jab. It’s actually a quote from the PHP documentation for custom error handling. Specifically: “Also note that it is your responsibility to die() if necessary.” A little creative writing never hurt anyone, well, except perhaps in this instance.
Now that I’m on a college network and using iTunes with sharing enabled I’m always prompted “users are connected” when I try to quit. I don’t care and quit, but I’m usually curious to know who is connected to my iTunes. So after Googling a bit and coming up with nothing I tried some old [...]
