Honk if you hate people

I was just reminded of an incident I had while commuting home about a month ago. For those who don’t know San Diego road geography, I apologize but try to follow along.
I’m waiting in the rather long line on Miramar road in the right hand lane. I still have 2 lights to go […]

Only at my school

The mixture of the finance and nerd worlds came together (finally!) at today’s seminar by one of Bandai!’s product developement dudes and a Cultural Anthropology professor who apparently specializes in Manga (what a way to earn a living).
Here’s the finance part, delivered by the Bandai dude, delivered mind you with complete gravitas:
“We hold the […]

Boy, those Chinese know how to flaunt breaking rules.

This news site has an odd name in English, “EastSouthWestNorth”. Trust me, “Dong Nan Xi Bei” sounds a lot better in Mandarin. It also makes a lot more sense, as it roughly means “in all directions”, which is an appropriate tagline for a news organ. In any case, I’ve been to Zhengzhou, Henan and it […]

How long should high school friends be primary?

Last year I blew off the last of my high school friends more or less for good. I don’t really feel all that bad about it, and I don’t think they do either. Various members of the group had been dropping out of contact for years, including the guys I was closest to. […]

In Case You’re Wondering What’s Happening in LA…

The interweb’s all abuzz with the thing Bfarn made. And yes, he made them, three or so. They’re fucking BEAUTIFUL. I’m proud of the guy; he’s had the idea for quite some time.

The 10 Dumbest Congressmembers of the 109th.

From Radar Online, a ranking of the 10 dumbest congressmembers of the current Congress. It’s not like elections and potential legislators are depressing enough as is. What vaguely scares me though is that Nanci Pelosi might be Speaker of the House soon, i.e. 3rd in line to the Presidency. And though I find that a […]

Revisiting Music

I wasn’t terribly productive today. I have a midterm on Tuesday, so they have given us free time to prepare for it. This is the only time we get the opportunity to prepare, as the midterm is supposed to be more a “teaching tool” than grading criteria. For the moment though:
