The McDonald’s Theory of War
I’m still listening to The Lexus and the Olive Tree, which I mentioned back back on 12 March, since it’s a massive 21 hour book. Today I heard what I consider to be one of the most interesting theories involving wars. The author of the book noticed that no two countries containing a McDonald’s in […]

Let the flow of encrypted bits henceforth flow!
I have finally uploaded my public encryption key to the main pgp server that is the default on KGPG, the encryption program I use on my Linux computer. I also set up my Thunderbird email program to digitially sign all of the messages I send with my public key so that anyone who gets an […]

March, the month of Numa Numa
This one’s been around for a while, but I just found it by accident. Here, for your insatiable lust for all that is Numa Numa, is an ENTIRE CLASSROOM of kids singing [pretty much] in sync with the original Numa Numa video. This is totatlly unreal.

Milestones
I have reached a few server milestones this month. My previous post on this blog was my fiftieth post. Not bad for only two month’s worth of posting. Also, not only did I break 1 thousand visits, I surpassed it, and the month isn’t even over yet. I have come very close in the past […]

Jesus was murdered in order to fullfill the prophecies dating back to the days of the Old Testament books of the Bible.

Happy Birthday!
I wanted to wish a happy birthday to the most special girl in my life (other than my mother) who is the best cook in the world – my fiancee – Danielle! Happy Birthday! It’s too bad we couldn’t be together on your birthday this year, but that will never be a problem again once […]

WordPress [almost] has 100k downloads!
WordPress is almost at 100,000 downloads. This is easily attributed to the fact that the program is awesome. I don’t know how I ever truly blogged before using this software. Blogging is ridiculously easy and the plugins add infinite possibilities for expanding the blog’s potential. Another reason for the increase in downloads has to do […]

new stuff
My grandmother was buried today. Everything has revolved around the burial and funeral. It’s been weird meeting people and talking about the future with these sad events around. Not much else to say – I’m very low on sleep. The funeral went from 4p to 1a. Burial stuff began at 9a. Didn’t think I’d ever […]

the end is here
If you are in a hospital, you will know you’re about to die when your entire family suddenly starts coming in with more and more frequency. My grandmother died today after nearly eight decades of life. I was really close to her and I loved her so much. Ever since I was a little kid […]

Dragon Day
Architects ran through the engineering quad and in and out of bulidings screaming Today is Dragon Day. As you probably know from my earlier posts, this is a huge tradition at Cornell. It was started back in the 1800s as a Spring Prank by the greatest Cornell prankster of them all, Willard Straight, and continues […]

Back to Pictures
For a while I had taken a break from photography. There were two basic reasons for this – first of all, it had become very cold and that disuaded me from taking my camera around. I was afraid of breaking it with the temperature difference between the outside air and the buildings. I was afraid […]

Proof of God in a commercial?
I was watching a commercial today on MSNBC for a knee replacement technology. The ad had some woman who lives in San Francisco and the infinitely large hills there were just killing her knees because she had arthritis. But then modern medical science gave her: “a replacement knee that, unlike the ones produced by other […]

1985
This Roper song is my second favorite song on the album Brace Yourself for the Mediocre. Although I was quite young at the time, I still identify with a lot of the aspects from “my decade”. “1985” By Roper On the back of the schoolbus singing, “I Love Rock and Roll” put another dime in […]
