I really like the idea of del.icio.us though I’m finding it slightly more troublesome to make good use of it.
I suggest that if you’re curious, you read the del.icio.us about page. Basically, it’s this system to make bookmarks, but the bookmarks are out in this sort of public collection of bookmarks, and so people [...]

July 22nd, 2005 · 3 Comments

How is it that a person can be made to feel obligated to their peers to update a blog constantly? I find the notion kind of absurd, and I very much like to think that I do not write these things for the sake of people reading, but primarly for the sake of myself.
I [...]

slipping away

July 22nd, 2005 · 1 Comment

Is it strange of me to find the idea of leaving town forever kind of interesting? I mean, I’m not on the lam here trying to evade the feds or child support payments or anything like that. I don’t need to disappear completely at all. Though reading about how it might be [...]

While I was getting this free haircut yesterday, the guy handed me a copy of the June Esquire Magazine because we were waiting for the intimidating Kristof guy to come back and continue his teaching on my head. Anyway, I was flipping through it and in this one article, which was some list of [...]

the written word

July 17th, 2005 · No Comments

It’s strange how writing a [...]

job search

July 12th, 2005 · No Comments

I was playing around with some news aggregation software at work to expedite the process of finding and filtering relevant articles out for updating our sites, and I saw this link to some article about blogs and job searching. Being that I will almost certainly be looking for a job this coming year, with [...]

climate change

July 3rd, 2005 · No Comments

As the people I know here at Columbia have already expounded on to me, I will now mostly repeat things I have been told.
