Hey cool, for my operating systems class we have to work in groups on the projects. The professor assigned group names alphabetically and I\’m in group X. That is such a cool name. I think I\’m gonna carve it into my desk today.

I forgot where I found this but The Dot Eaters: Videogame History 101 is a very detailed article about, surprisingly, video game history. It covers almost everything, from the original Pong to home console systems to today\’s computer games. It\’s a good read if you have time.

I have a bag of candy corn next to me and the smell\’s getting on my nerves. I never thought I\’d say that about candy.

Clinton Suffering From Senioritis, White House Sources Say.

\”I don\’t care if I never set foot inside this stupid city again,\” Clinton said. \”I\’m not gonna be like Richard Nixon, always hanging around, trying to be part of the gang after his glory days are over. That\’s so embarrassing. I\’m not even going to the inauguration ceremony if I can help it.\”

Everyone\’s heard the urban legend about the rocket car by now. The August issue of Wired had the real story. Apparently, the Wired article is a reprint of another article found in the recesses of the web.

I arrived at work a few minutes ago and I checked my work email. 3 viruses in a row! I don\’t know what kind of show my company\’s running but their security really stinks.

I should go to sleep soon. I haven\’t been to work in 2 days. Part of the reason is cause I can\’t wake up in the morning (the other part is because work sucks). I think it\’s because my roommate recently started closing the blinds all the way, so when I do wake up the room\’s still dark, and I think it\’s still early so I go back to sleep again. Not good at all. I\’m turning into a real slacker.

I just saw the Charlie\’s Angels commercial on the telly. Surprisingly it looks kinda cool. Of course, the commercials for movies always look cool. We\’ll see…

This scene by scene comparison of The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell really shows a lot of similarities between the movies.
