Applicious

Been listening to Fiona Apple's *new* CD "Extraordinary Machine". Apparently I download a leaked unreleased version that Jon Brion produced. Compared to the released version I think I like it better, but I might change my mind.

Back At Last

Ladies and gentleman, we're back in business! I've finally decided to recommit myself to posting my increasingly interesting thoughts here. God I'm awesome. And interesting. Stay tuned.

Typical

I loooove photos posted on the internet of highschool/college aged middle class white girls with the caption "YOU KNOW HOW WE DO!!!". Examples: 1 2 3

Franz Ferdinand

These cats are in Spin every edition! Do they live up to the hype?

Built To Spill

Also, new Built To Spill record next spring. Yay!

Progress Report

The project I'm working on for class is going tremendously well. It has turned into a SUBMARINE ADVENTURE!!!! Still a lot of work to do, but I'll post it up soon.

Cliche-o-meter

A few things that would rate high on my cliche-o-meter would be CDs or Playlists titled "PUMP UP MIX!!!" or "Sleep Mix".

Internet Exploder

My biggest trouble with Internet Explorer is that the scrollbar on the right hand side isn't flush with the right side of the monitor. When you maximize the window, if you move the mouse all the way to the right in order to scroll through a page, you won't be able to, you have to move a couple pixels to the left in order to click on the scrollbar. Minute detail? Yes. Significant problem? For me, yes.

Recent Projects

I recently found that our server was set to limit the file size uploaded by users, which was causing a lot of problems with projects I've been working on. This said, I think that I will be able to complete one or two projects that I've been struggling with. Yay.

Ticking Clock

I've got a big programming project due tommorrow at 2p.m. It's supposed to be a interactive 3D environment. I don't think it will be too bad, since I've sort of been working with it on and off. However, I'm still frustrated at how I'll have to rush it. Hopefully I'll document the progress here.

Inspiration


Karen reminded me about Egon Schiele recently, an artist she told me about this past summer. I think he is tremendous and he has inspired me greatly the past few days. Here is a link to a ton of his work.

Faux Jay

If you brush your teeth with Crest toothpaste, then drink red gatorade 10 minutes later, it tastes very similar to watered down orange juice.

Mash Up Monday

DJ Riko is a mash-up DJ. I downloaded one of his CDs last week and had mixed feelings. However, after listening to it off and on the past week a couple of the tracks have really grown on me. Download the .rar file of the whole cd here.

Time Killer

DaneCook.com has a copious amount of content as far as stand up comedians go. Check out his videos section - Scene 2 of Dave Attell Insomniac Tour. Not the most brilliant stand up, but quite energetic and funny.

15
Which Way's Which

I wonder which is worse. Ignorance or indifference.

Irony

I might need to investigate the origin of them, but high-fives given by geeks seem really ironic to me. (As I am posting this entry from my Sidekick into a blog I coded myself from scratch, I think I am alright saying that). I think they/we should make up a new co-operative hand gesture to express our excitement.

15
Mixed Signals

I think if someone gave me a copy of Madagascar I would take it as an insult rather than to stanrdard joy felt when receiving a gift. Something about that movie did not rub me the right way. The penguins were pretty funny though.

17
P m P

I think if you want to get good at something, no matter what it is, you have to do it everyday. I guess that's pretty obvious... haha. Nevermind.

Does Not Equal

Close != Clothes

Everyone's a Critic

I like how the movie Magnolia uses music.

Equate

The textbook buyback is the collegiate form of sucking dick for crack money.

Clearport

I have flown Independance air a lot in the past two years and took the excellent service/flight experience for granted until today. I'm flying home on Northwest Airlines and the whole thing has been an annoying ordeal.

19
Duhhh

All books are not intellectual.

Represent

I think the way hip-hop artists honor their dead peers at basically every performance is really awesome and admirable.

Crazy Website!

I hung out with two guys (Isaac and Matt) tonight and we looked through this website of Matt's friend. Solid gold. Link.

Rediscovery

I'm not sure if I ever posted a link to this realllly awesome animation ever, but just in case. Click Here!

Un-automatic Updates

Northwest Airlines gave me two 5-minute phone cards for missing my connecting flight. In an age when everyone and their mom (even mine as of a few months ago) these do me absolutely no good. They really need to update this outdated compensation.

Make it!

Totally sweet 35mm camera made out of legos here.

Blogs Are Neat

Ex-co-worker still-friend David Cho put a link to this here website on his Blog, which he updates a lot. It's sort of like a diet pop culture blog with a few "serious" posts thrown in every so often. P.S. David, you should consider setting your index of thedavidcho.com to display your content rather than redirecting, otherwise you'll always just be thedavidcho.blogspot.com.
