Web 2.0 is made of ... mutual masturbation

Everything I've seen from the Web 2.0 camp has pretty much indicated it will only appeal to people who want to spend all day diddling around with "interactive" websites to find inaccurate information created by other ill-informed people who also want to spend all day diddling around with "interactive" websites.

Some will no doubt argue that Web 2.0 being built on mutual masturbation is an advance over Web 1.0 (built mostly on solo masturbation). But have you seen who's on the other end? They really should keep their hands to themselves

Intel to sponser an F1 team? I guess it goes with the new ad campaign.

It really does make sense for Intel to sponsor a team, especially now since there are laws preventing cigarette companies from advertising in a lot of countries that have F1 races.

I'd say that the safest bet for Intel (unless they sponsor the whole thing) is to go with McLaren, even though I like Alonso, who drives for Renault.

Poorly formatted. Kind of a long slog. However, it does provide reasonable generic definitions of breadth, depth, and size in game design.

Did anyone hear his speech in Alaska? Someone asked him about the misleading evidence of WMD's and he said that the only person offering misleading evidence was Saddam! I can't recall ever hearing that he claimed he had WMD's.

When asked about his abilities, 49 percent of those surveyed said he was a strong president and 49 percent said he was a weak leader.
Poll shows that Americans know jack about leadership.

I meant everybody compared to, say, six months after 9/11. It's all relative.

Also, Bush campaigned for the Republican running for NJ governor. The guy lost and blamed his loss on his association with Bush. The Republicans are a lot less happy with him than they used to be. This whole McCain-coming-out-against torture business is a significant break within the Senate from the official line of the Bush administration.

Possibly NSFW (I haven't clicked on it). Thinkgeek will have to create a new T-shirt: "No, I will not fix your computer... unless you give me sex."

It's up, yo. It's filled. With, uh, stuff. Hm. Movie reviews, for instance. I have no idea what this is good for.

By majoring in a male-dominated field, we have all collectively lost out on apparently an important part of the American university process: having a hot professor.

Old interview with Steve Jobs, including a bit about how Apple will not be a record label.

This took me forever to figure out, because I couldn't google for it.

Flash 8 and Adblock don't play well with each other. If you've noticed missing Flash interfaces, follow the steps outlined in this link to fix the problem.

Yep, should've been a math major...
- There isn't much reason to take Analysis unless you plan on going the Math Studies and accelerated masters program. Fonseca goes through proofs entirely too quickly without making sure the students are following. The TA does a much better job of teaching the material.

- Analysis is the worst class I've ever taken. It's not because the prof is bad, it's just the material. Unless you are a super analyzing genius, which you probably aren't, avoid it. :|

- sexy, and clear explanations!
... or not

Definately Psycology!
- The hottest and best prof I've ever had. The way she talks about the brain makes me hot all over

- excellent teacher-very knowledgeable, and helpful
She could help me...


If only we had such resources before choosing a school and major...

Heh I actually did take a class with Lori Holt, she was pretty good. And hot.

And she asked me to TA the class afterward. Too bad I had already graduated.
