Some little notes about things online

Something that made me laugh, from a Times article touching, in part, on the analytical tendency to either synthesize or particularize: For the anthropologists, the exceptions were more important than the rules. Instead of seeking overarching laws, the call was to “contextualize,” “complexify,” “relativize,” “particularize” and even “problematize,” a word that in their dialect was [...]

Quick updates before I eat and study

I finished my HIST291 paper 12 minutes before midnight—over 12 hours before it was due! This is a significant accomplishment for me. I think it’s evident that I put more effort into the second essay rather than the first, but I think both ended up being pretty well done. The second essay, especially, was widely [...]

Another fairly low-key weekend, recapped

As all good weekends do, this one began on Thursday night. But, unfortunately, Thursday night was not a fun night. I pulled an (almost, but not really) all-nighter to finish my History paper. I completed it at around 5:30, slept for 4.5 hours, and then woke up for… Friday! After Latin, I made some macaroni [...]

Some nifty Facebook integration for you!

I added the New York Times News Quiz app tonight because I wanted to show everyone how well-versed I am (and always have been) in current events. That quality is especially important when living inside the bubble at Wesleyan. But more to the point, I also came across a nifty Facebook app called Wordbook. It [...]

Tonight’s Internet adventures

For no particular reason, I decided to compile a rough outline of where I ended up going in my online adventures tonight. The trail is, uh, interesting. Share this entry:

Nothing exciting; I just felt like blogging

Janet’s birthday was yesterday, so we went downtown together today so she could buy her first alcohol! First we went under the highway and checked out the riverside. It was quite nice; lots of grass and pretty water. It may be a nice place to hang out when the weather is nice. Then we went [...]

The end of an era: retiring OneExpiredCondom

OneExpiredCondom. It took the place of MuDvAyNe43J and JUsTiN43117 and countless other, less interesting screen names. It’s a marvel, a beauty, a comical reminder of simpler days. But it’s also a relic, an historical artifact from a bygone era. Useful for digging into the past, but not for leading one on the path to the [...]

There is so much I’ve fallen behind on

So why not procrastinate some more? There are a ton of hot new iPhone apps. There are lots of instant messaging apps, new games, tip calculators, Bible resources, apps that make the iPhone into a name badge, and my favorite, iPhone Remote. It allows me to stream music and movies from my Mac, view and [...]

“You don’t want no drama…”

Hmm.. It’s quite difficult to resist jumping into the fray over the iPhone drama at Wesleying. Especially in the face of such baiting! Ah! Must resist! Is Wesleyan not the utopia I thought it was? (lol. I guess my conception of Wes as a utopia deliberately excluded thought of such things at WesConfess, the ACB, [...]
