I believe the concept Maxine Waters is looking for is “socialism.”
Date: May 29, 2008
Yes, this is from Faux News, but I have to admit that this was worth reporting, so I’ll give them that. California Democrat Maxine Waters spoke truth from the bottom of her heart in the following video of a recent House hearing which investigated the oil industry. I just don’t think it was the truth she wanted to share with the people. Oops.
Hump Day Funnies: Asimo Eats the Floor
Date: May 28, 2008
I get tingly thinking about the humanoid robot that is Asimo. It’s so amazing that I get excited about it and so cute that I want to cuddle with that hunk of metal and plastic. Before I show you the epic fail that makes this Wednesday’s hump day funny, I think I should also show you just how cool Asimo is, so you don’t mistake him (him? it?) as being just another shoddy experiment in modern robotics.
“The Gardener,” my first short film.
Date: May 26, 2008
A short film for one of my classes. This is a music video for German band Einsturzende Neubauten’s song “The Garden.” My close friends Kavita and Greg are the ones acting.
Hump Day Funnies: Superb Hate Mail (Thank you, Claire!)
Date: May 21, 2008
On occasion, I get hate mail. The funny thing about all my hate mail to date (and I do mean all my hate mail) is that it rarely makes sense, almost always ends up with schoolyard name calling and excessive cursing. Today’s hate mail, however, has really taken the cake, so I would like to thank Claire L. for being the airhead she is.
Megan Meier’s Suicide in 2006 Has Impacted a Lot
Date: May 20, 2008
For anyone who frequents this site, you know I’ve got more than a few gripes about governments. Well, it’s time for me to add in another gripe that I’ve had for some time. Being the large, corrupt and very-nearly mindless entity that it typically is, the government is not very good at properly adapting to changing times and technologies. There are some absolutely terrible laws on the books, when it comes to new media, particularly the Internet, and more are being written as politicians begin to realize that the Internet is useful and not just a fad (surprise!). Some of the latest are “anti-harassment laws for the Internet,” a number of which were made in response to the Megan Meier controversy, which occurred in late 2006.

Why Fast Food is Better
Date: May 15, 2008
Andrew and I went to Subway the other night, and on our way out, we discussed how great fast food is. Now, before I get started on this, we should probably drop some preconceived notions. Fast food does not immediately mean junk food, despite how synonymous the terms have seemingly become in the last few years. Fast food means what it sounds like it does: food, that is served fast, so you can get the hell out. To me, this is a great invention that I am willing to pay for, because it saves me one of life’s most valuable assets, time.
