  1. 4/20 at CU

    I love my school and the police that protect us from… ourselves. Smoking pot is a lesser crime than littering, yet they’ll dedicate these resources to catching a few teens? Last year the only person given a citation was a kid who set up a snack stand to sell chips. He didn’t have a vendor [...]

  4. Hedgehog Attributes Feedback

    This post is part 2 of a 5 part series on my “Hedgehog Concept.” Previously I discussed my thoughts and what I felt characterized my more positive attributes. I recommend reading my findings and then striving to determine your own Hedgehog Concept. Looking back at my analysis and knowing what I know now (about how people [...]

  7. MySpace Deodorant

    As a follow up to this post (and this article) my brother has created, by far, the best MySpace profile out there (http://www.myspace.com/deoderizer). I hope ‘Right’ starts sending me ads and coupons soon! Maybe he’ll even fill out my ‘ten things’ bulletin!

  9. MySpace to Advertise?

    Interesting article on how MySpace is thinking about… gasp… making money through advertising. Good thought! Their revolutionary thinking has essentially taken what Facebook has already done… and made it uglier… probably with music playing in the background: “To expand ad sales … [MySpace] plans to [turn] advertisers into members of the MySpace community, with their [...]

  10. claimID Invitations

    The first two people to use this link will be able to register a claimID beta account. It’s sorta dumb but sorta useful. I’ll play with it a bit more. At first glance, it does little more than my About page.. but I realize not everyone out there has an About page.

  11. Studying Follow-Up

    I nearly forgot I had written about my secrets to exam success: Studying for Tests. If you initially doubted me, that’s fine, I would be hesitant too. Let me assure you I received very high A’s on both accounting tests the second time around. As mentioned, take the first test and set the pace for [...]

  12. Bloggers Remorse Squared

    I have this weird feeling about blogging. I’ll write about topics but then I take a look at my visitors… many are here for the wrong reasons. I get 10 kids every day asking for MSN invites, I have another 20 Googleing myspace error messages and finding me. The rest are all here to take [...]

  13. QOTD

    Quote of the Day: It’s really scary to quit your job at an average company doing average work just because you know that if you stay, you’ll end up just like them. Which is why it’s such a great opportunity. Seth Godin, bestselling author, entrepreneur and agent of change via WorkHappy. Note to self: Become more observant. Am [...]

  15. Skype is Fun!

    I haven’t been a big Skype user. Frankly, becuase nobody I typically socialize with has even heard of it. But, a select few have ‘converted’ and I’ve been playing with it more. Jeremy was the one I was primarily using it with but now I’ve got a reason to use it more: SkypeOut and SkypeIn. Haha, [...]

  16. Gaining Life Experience

    I’m a firm believer that college is only half (if even that) of one’s education. For example, my new job has taught me more about (Access) databases in one day then I’ve learned all semester in class (no offense). Plus, I can tell you more about the telcom industry than you’d ever care to know. [...]

  17. QOTD

    Quote of the Day: …if the answer is, “I just don’t feel like it,” chances are I won’t feel like it later, either. So all things being equal, I’d rather finish them now. If not now, then when? -Ramit Sethi on the importance of doing the “little things” now. I agree, life is about taking care of [...]

  18. China Harvesting Organs

    Do dead bodies have human rights? Apparently so. Personally, I think extra organs is a great thing for everyone. I don’t agree with the Chinese making a substantial profit off of someone else’s organs… but should they be collected? Of course.

  21. Boomer Exercise

    For those of you looking for a new career look no furthur than sports medicine. It seems that the boomer generation has started to wear their own bodies down through exercise. Although exercise has become popularized and even touted for disease prevention a lot of people are now going in for all kinds of replacements. [...]

  22. Google’s Da Vinci Code Quest

    I remember reading about Google’s Da Vinci Code Quest. It’s a pretty good puzzle today (1 of 24 complete!) and I think it’s helped me with my Soduku skills… or vice versa. In any case, someone needs to make sure I don’t forget this every day.

    Quote of the Day: “I was on the sixth floor of a hotel in New Delhi,” he recalled, “and when I looked out the window I could see for miles. How come? Because you do not have assured power in Delhi for elevators, so there are not many tall buildings.” No sensible investor would want to [...]
