Deja Vu?

Hey. Remember this guy?

Yup. That’s Jack Thompson. Remember the last time he came around? Virginia Tech. Where did he go? Oh yeah, he lost interest in the VT after it was found that the shooter had played little or no video games. Well, guess what folks, in the wake of the NIU shootings, He’s [...]

Will Ron Paul Change Digg Opinions?

I’ve been following this Ron Paul phenomena for a while. One one side of the issue it’s amazing to see someone so radically for the upholding of the constitution command such an army of followers, on the other, it’s a bit weird to see a majority of people who are so for some of [...]

Glad I’m not at IU any more.

Apparently they’re letting RIAA lawsuits through. I thought that at one point they were protecting students, but I guess that only goes so far when a subpoena comes into play. I just got an email notifying would-be sharers that they’re under close watch. Here are a few highlights (lowlights?).
Lawsuits were filed against 19 Indiana University [...]

What to use instead of oink.

A question everybody seems to be asking. Well, look no further. The great guys at well-known site “The Pirate Bay” are looking to open up BOiNK in the spirit of its predecessor. Things seem to be coming along much more quickly than previously predicted, http://www.oink.cd is already pointing toward TPB’s servers and they’ve put up [...]

Today’s freewrite/quick rant

I can’t get over the fact that people care so much about labels on their clothes. I’m fine getting the cheapest pair of jeans ever. When they start to wear out noticeably, I shrug, toss them in the “use if I’m going to get messy” drawer, and move on. I can’t even imagine how [...]

Random, tiny gripe.

I really hate when I’m trapped in a class with a rabidly sick person. There is a woman behind me right now, from what I remember a nursing student with the most disgusting, constant cough that I’ve heard in a long time. Now. As a nursing student, this woman should know that going to class [...]

I hate parking cops in general.

Ok, flash a week back. I’m nonchalantly walking back home from my day at school, excited about the week to come which was full of relaxation and no classes…wait…what’s that….a parking ticket? But why? I have an official Bloomington parking sticker which I had to pay $15 for to park on the street in front [...]

The Digg Cycle

Ok, everyone who even pays half attention to Digg saw what happened today. Some guys in charge of the HD-DVD key screwed up and posted it, people started freaking out and digging any news available that mentioned it resulting in Digg trying to cover their asses by banning a few people and deleting a few [...]

1) They will arbitrarily charge extra “convenience fees” no matter the convenience. I’ve seen charges range from $6-$10 on shows at the exact same venue on the exact same time just due to the popularity of who is playing. How does the popularity of a band change how convenient it is to pay extra to [...]

Get Bush Out!

I just went on a ranting rampage in someones LJ that I haven’t talked to in years. Not in a bad way or anything…that’s why I’m posting it here.
Honest?

War on American soil? Come on guys, terrorists will do whatever they want despite whatever rules are put in place. The current government is scaring our freedoms [...]
