The German government is planning to ban Microsoft Outlook because of the program\’s problems with viruses. I use Eudora myself. I was lucky too, none of my friends got the virus, or if they did they didn\’t send it to me. I probably jinxed it now, the next big virus will probably make my monitor explode in my face or something.

Here\’s a different review of Battlefield Earth: \”What Battlefield Earth Did Right.\” Apparently it\’s optimistic and uplifting or something. I\’m still not going to see it though.

Steve\’s Digicams has a first look at the Canon Powershot S100. Now that\’s a tiny camera. It\’s about the size of a credit card! Well, it\’s much thicker of course, but it\’s still very small.

I\’m in the computer lab right now. Why am I blogging instead of hacking? Uh oh, lab\’s closing in 5 minutes.

I prefer the Privatized Corporate Dystopia.

I spent a hour fine-tuning my site Friday night, fixing little formatting errors that were driving me crazy. Also added links to my other sites. I\’m planning on writing more real content for this site, maybe rants and some short stories I\’ve written. Probably not this week though, I have a big lab due Thursday.

Went to this Mardi Gras thing at the student center tonight. It was pretty crowded, especially for a Saturday night in Irvine. There were booths selling food, psychic readings, a dude doing stuff with fire, a mime, a band playing and people dancing. The trees on the student center patio were strung with Christmas lights. There wasn\’t all that much to do, it just had a cool, outdoor party atmosphere. You have to understand, weekends at UCI are dead. Absolutely nothing happens between Friday night and Monday morning. So this small Mardi Gras festival tonight was the coolest thing to happen in weeks. We need more of these kinds of things.

Here\’s some footage of Escape from Monkey Island from E3. I just hope going 3D doesn\’t ruin the game like it did Kings Quest and Quest for Glory.

Now this is just cool: Angry Shareholder Halts Meeting with Grenade\”. I\’d be able to accomplish so much if I had a hand grenade.

Hee hee, this is like something out of a Naked Gun movie: Police Searching for Lost Machinegun. My favorite line: \”The weapon — which newspaper reports said fell out of a police car…\”
