You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America’s Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn’t want to go to war, and the three most powerful [...]

I recently found about this. Been using it for the past few months, and it works out a lot cheaper then anything else. There is a 5% rebate on all Shell Gas if you use thier MasterCard. I use my AAdvantage for everything except gas, and use the Shell MasterCard for gas. Works out cheaper [...]

Since I’m most likely going to IU, a family friend (who lives in Indiana) forwared this to me: Your idea of a traffic jam is 10 cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway. "Vacation" means going to Kings Island for the week end. You measure distance in hours. You know several people who [...]

After months of negotiation with the authorities, a Talmudist from Odessa was granted permission to visit Moscow. He boarded the train and found an empty seat. At the next stop a young man got on and sat next to him. The scholar looked at the young man and thought: This fellow doesn’t look like a [...]

Maybe I’m just easily amused. Maybe not. Continue reading if you are above the age of 18 and don’t have a problem with vulgar!

Last year, there were bills introduced calling for the reinstatement of the military draft. Today there are rumors citing that after the elections, the draft will most likely be reinstated regardless of what political party wins. I consider the term “draft” a far more cheery word for the truth: military draft is government confiscation of [...]

Over the years, a few people have criticized me for “selling” software I’ve made. I’m a strong advocate of capitalism, have always been, always will be, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt if you must. The gist of others people argument is that scripts/programs I’ve create, rely on “open source” [...]

We recently bought a glass dining table and I’ve been working primarily on it wirelessly via the laptop. Apart from it being way too warm upstairs (as I’m sure I’ve complained too many of you) I’ve always liked glass tables. Give a modern, stylistic feel. Well moving on to the point. I got tired of [...]

Much thanks for Shivani for helping me tons on this, but here is the essay. —- Describe a book, play, composition, poem, scientific discovery, technical achievement, myth, historic event or work of art that has inspired and intrigued you. You can assume we are familiar with the plot and details; instead, tell us what it [...]

I hate working in silence. Thus I always have music playing when I’m working, but noticed that if I listen to stuff I like and understand when I work, I start signing along in my head and lose focus on my work. Thus I’m always listening to foreign music via Shoutcast when working. I recommend [...]

Just a bit of my paper that I wrote. If you want the full version ask. This deals with the Middle East in general, while the rest of the paper focused specifically on a few countries. Not my best work, but I pumped this out in less then 7 hours. That is 12 single spaced [...]

I got up from the table I was sitting at and walked over to where she would be coming. I patiently waited for about a minute until finally, I saw her come out. I felt captivated by the sight of her face. Watching the slight smile on her face formed by the curved contours of [...]

There are two different types of posts: One in which a person writes about random thoughts or an aspect related to what they are working on or one in which a person can post about the things they do in a day or a week. I’ve done both however, probably more of the former. Most [...]
