A sunburn and a poorly printed t-shirt

Sunday, June 25th, 2006 by Aabra

When it comes to nature, I have sort of an “us vs. them” attitude. I’m convinced the weeds are plotting against me. I like trees and flowers and all that, but am baffled by camping– why live like a homeless person?? My husband, on the other hand, is a “because it’s there” sort of fella. [...]

Dee Dee-o Optimo Maximo

* Vote for your favorite literary villain. Torn between Count Olaf and Mrs. Coulter, that evil bitch. * Just to piss off Firefly fans, fan script for a MST3K treatment of Serenity. To further infuriate y’all, it’s a Mike script: [shot of Reavers dropping from ropes] TOM: Oh, no! The Klingons are here, too! MIKE: [...]

OK, I am using my huge one week off from school to add an important feature to this site: a contact form! Can you just smell the excitement? No, that’s excitement. Really. Anyway, if you look over to the right side of the page, you will notice a “Contact Us!” link under “Pages”. Have at!

As soon as they change that law I’m marrying BridgePort

Congrats to Matt on finishing his senior thesis, which actually works and is useful, unlike anything my class did at U of O. Matt’s program creates invoices and tracks billable hours, and has my pretty vector drawing of the Burnside Bridge as its background image. —————————————————— I’ve had it up to here with these chowderheads [...]

Brainstorm time, people: If we were to build a utopia of the best qualities of the world’s various societies, nations, cities, ethnic groups, religions, etc., what would you include? Could these various great qualities exist in the same virtual society, or do some great ideas contradict others? No aspect is too small– let’s talk toilets, [...]

Robots never get essay questions

Thursday, June 1st, 2006 by Aabra

Test results: 100% on the Intro to Biz exam, 91% on the Accounting quiz, and I almost had a nervous breakdown during the Business Communications test (I didn’t realize we’d have to answer essay questions. I hate essay questions! If I were a robot it’d either be zero or one, grumble grumble…) Only two weeks [...]
