Invsible Shield

Invsible Shield - The first gadget protection I’ve seen that carries products for my cell phone (Moto V551), MP3 player (iPod 4g 20 gig), and my camera (Canon Digital Rebel EOS 300). I’d have bought this for my camera had I known about it. That’s ok, the current protector on there gets the job done.

Death

Cleaning out the email.

Alex,

I was dead but then I got better. Dying kind of sucked. It hurt a little and then it was just dark. You would think dark would be cool, but this dark just stayed and stayed and didn’t go away. I am really glad I got better, because being dead was really lame. I will be alive and in Amsterdam from tomorrow until mid-next week. When I get back, I will pack up and move back to Madison, so we NEED TO HANG OUT VERY VERY VERY VERY SOON, or else it won’t happen. I was hanging out with Yalda yesterday, and she mentioned that there was planning for a sort of end-of-the-summer type thing. She said I would need to come back on a weekend for this before classes start. Plan away, if you indeed are planning at all, and keep me informed. Talk to you later, have a good one.

Haunted Portraits

Haunted Portraits - These portraits (I think they are holographic) change from normal vintage picture to creepy creepy demonized versions of that same picture. Great for Halloween!

Testy

People are usually a little more talkative and relaxed in the weight room on Fridays, taking their workouts a little slower and shooting the breeze for a while. Some actually do not work out at all, but simply stand with their hand on a machine and talk nonsense. I looked like I was doing nothing, but I was actually between sets, and a guy walked up to me.

“Hey, what did you think of that test?”

“Yeah … I didn’t do as well as I wanted to on it.”

Funny thing was, I had no idea who this kid was. Furthermore, the fact that I hadn’t the foggiest notion of which one of my classes he was in didn’t matter, because that response applies to all three of the tests I have taken or gotten back this week. But I learned a lesson! Poor slash undesirable test performance greases the wheels of potentially embarassing social mechanics (the mechanism of this is unclear and the sample size is 1 … so take my conclusion lightly).

Thank you.

Conan O’Brien ‘Interview’

Conan O’Brien ‘Interview’ - He’ll take over from Jay Leno in something like 2009 … this article asks the question ‘how will he do?’

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes - I’ve been waiting for this for a long long time. I just may purchase. This is the most beautiful comic strip (taking beauty in many ways) that I have ever had the privilege of seeing.

Breaking All 10 Commandments

Breaking All 10 Commandments - And he does it before breakfast, too.

Away Message

Away message @ 4:00pm, Today ::

I’m going to leave this online until I am certain that all people whose buddy list I am on have read this.

The world of AIM and online is a hugless, barren, and lonely place. If you want to do one something right now to improve your life, try this: close AIM, let email pile up, and turn off the computer. That’s all.

Salon

Salon - One of the best online magazines in existence. Imagine crossing The New Yorker with Slate, and now you’re talking.

Keillor’s Law

Keillor’s Law - This will be printed out, because I need something like this to live by:

“If the romance or marriage needs help, the answer almost always is Have More Fun. Drop your list of grievances and go ride a roller coaster. Take a brisk walk. Dance. Take a trip to Duluth. Read Dickens.”
