Congratulations on your fifth NCAA basketball title. And thanks for extending my personal streak of titles won by my sports teams to ten in the past eight years! For everyone like me who couldn’t make it out there, check out this video of Franklin Street from the Daily Tar Heel. Here’s a time-lapse of the […]
Chill Cone & Constructive Caterpillar say Twitter is Down
Well, I’ve seen the fail whale but the chill cone and constructive caterpillar are new. Down for scheduled maintenance, eh? Would’ve been nice if they just went ahead and took it down yesterday, according to schedule rather than randomly but alas, such is life when fail whales dominate the day.

Vampire Panic at the Boston Latin School
Final Edit: This whole story was basically blown out of proportion. A few students believed they were vampires. One student may have bit another student in the neck.

The Vin Diesel Formula for Whether You Should Proceed with Potentially Dangerous Technology
A few days ago one of my facebook buddies (my profile on facebook) commented about how he was: supporting Skynet by linking Facebook and Twitter.

Cash-flow free for nearly a year!
There was a lot of positive response to my post two weeks ago about living carlessly for a year, so today we’ll look at my financial situation and how I’ve been living with a very meager incoming cash-flow for the past year. Though a little bit of money flowed in here and there via various […]
How Battlestar Galactica Will End
Basically, everyone will die. They destroy the evil Cylons but the black hole sucks them in and the screen fades to black as we follow them into the depths of the gravity well.
