A Feature I Wish Tumblr Had
Testing out tumblr mobile.
I enjoy tumblr and have noticed my activity on my website increase since I began using it. I enjoy the simplicity and ease of use that tumblr provides, but I wish I could make pages for my site. I’d like to use tumblr exclusively if I can. But having an About/Contact page seems very important to me. I’d even be willing to pay a small fee for an advanced...

My goal for next summer...
I want to apply for summer internships at Zappos, Digg, and Revision3.
All three are companies who are doing things in the marketing and tech worlds that I am immensely interested in. I think I could learn a lot with any of these companies.
Anyone have some suggestions as to other companies I should think of applying to?
My Virtual Partner Blog Mentions Me! →
Apparently one of my tweets managed to make a blip on someone’s radar! I am delightfully surprised and very flattered. Check it out. :-)
The Debates Tonight
Tonight at 9pm will be the first in many debates between Barack Obama and John McCain. If you’re not terribly interested by politics, here are a few things you can do to make the situation a little more enjoyable and hopefully you’ll learn something about our Presidential hopefuls.
Drinking Game
Steve Isaacs developed a fun drinking game for you to play while watching the debates. ...
Thread on Current_ About the LHC...
Link to the video and comments in question.
Guy: I’m all for human advancement and enlightenment, but could someone explain to me how they are going to contain the “Big Bang 2” if the experiment works. STOP PLAYING GOD - We have miles and miles of ocean we haven’t explored and these geniuses are trying to create a universe. Something will definitely go wrong. Me: You...

A girl approaches a seat before the beginning of class...
Random guy: Oh. Um, actually, I was saving this seat for my friend.
Random girl: Saving the seat? Really? I didn't realize we were in the high school cafeteria, Regina George.

Write an article about logical fallacies for MatsieFTW!
Write an article about pseudoscience and woo for MatsieFTW!

Beach House - “Master of None”

I’m putting my job search into high gear, now. The holiday season is coming up, so hopefully I can catch a job that way. I just really need to get some cash flow into my life. I’m really not the kind of person who like to sit around the house all day and that’s what I’ve been doing lately. I think it’s only contributed to my getting more and more depressed and...
Livin in a Devil Town
I was sitting at my computer (per usual) and the television happened to be on for white noise (CurrentTV). What do I hear emitting from my television’s speakers? “I was livin’ in a devil town. Didn’t know it was a devil town…” so I race to my television to see what the hell is on.
Friday Night Lights used a Daniel Johnston cover for their season premiere...
Films I Am Excited To See
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (uhh, can you say Michael Cera?!)
Milk (awesome biopic of one of the most influential men in the GLBT community)
The Secret Life of Bees (I may have to give up my Dakota Fanning boycott for this one!)
Saw V (I’m dedicated to the franchise however shitty it’s become)
Frost/Nixon (I am such a nerd for Vietnam/Watergate era flicks)
The...
WatchIn conclusion, I invite the media to grow a pair. And if you can’t, I will lend you mine.
Current_ →
Current_ is surprisingly cooler than I thought it would be. If you didn’t know, Current and CurrentTV are community input news projects spearheaded by Al Gore. I’m not big on the super liberal slant, but there are some amazing pieces of news and commentary that are made on both the website (which has a voting/commenting system ala digg, but with fewer trolls) and the television...
My First Album Review! →
My first article has been published on EastScene.com and I’m pretty excited. It’s a short review of Thao Nguyen’s album. Hope you enjoy it!
Podcasting thoughts...
I’m contemplating starting a podcast. I’ve been wanting to for a long time. I know it will probably be terrible at first, but I think I may be able to improve it.
Knowing me, it would probably be music based and I wonder if the world really needs another music podcast. (It doesn’t.)
So Spore is finally out and I still haven’t played it. I should lose my gamer card for this!
On an unrelated note, trying to sit through my Systems class is a real pain.
You’re no one if you’re not on...
