  1. Will the president matter?

    I’m excited for this next election. Definitely more than last time where I said ‘voting sucks‘. But, I still want to throw out a few quotes:

  2. Bush, Clinton, Rinse, Repeat

    For a country that really hated monarchies we sure seem to be hypocrites. Really, guys? Clinton again? She

  3. Driving Relationships

    Is it just me or do you start having relationships with drivers on the road with you? I start calling them by their make, model, and/or color. “Come on in Green Toyota, you let me merge back there a bit ago.” Is that silly? Is that just me? Oh, and thanks for cutting me off, [...]

  4. Unfair, unethical World Series ticket sales

    I have a huge issue with how tickets were sold here on Monday/Tuesday to the World Series games in Denver. My biggest issue is with the lying, unfair company behind the online ticket sales, Paciolan Inc. Here’s a run-down of all the issues and what I suspect really happened: No tickets were sold in-person: They said putting [...]

  5. Everything is relative.

    Everything is relative. I’ve been conducting an informal survey for a little while now: when I ask for ‘lots and lots of ketchup’ at the Chik-Fil-A drive-through I will receive either a) lots and lots of ketchup or b) three or four packets. The determining factor: how busy the Chik-Fil-A is. Something tells me if [...]

  6. Are we far too male-centric?

    Are we far too male centric? Recently I’ve noticed how much wives put up with. From Eugene O’Kelly to Evan Almighty. And that’s just yesterday. It may sound naive but why are we still so very male-centric? Discussion at 9rules.

  8. Captchas suck

    I think my ‘captcha’ batting average is 300 right now. Captchas are what we call those annoying boxes at the end of a form, or before you download a file. They show you a jumble of letters and numbers and you have to enter what it is. Apparently this is to circumvent non-human interaction with [...]

  9. Miss Dewey Sucks

    I want to talk about marketing production quality and how Miss Dewey lacks it. If you haven’t seen this site yet, it’s basically a search engine with a saucy librarian standing there being snarky and clever on occasion. If you don’t get around to typing in a search she’ll try to get your attention. Quite annoying, [...]

    How many weeks of this will there be? And that’s just the last three days.

  11. Television Sucks

    I assure you not everything I publish is a rant. I’m just feeling feisty lately… my latest target is television. A few people have described their experience with a month without TV and I’m following suit. My roommate and I had talked about dropping Comcast for months now because, frankly, that’s too much money to [...]

  12. Transportation Sucks

    I’m pissed: “NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED IN CARRY-ON BAGGAGE. ITEMS MUST BE IN CHECKED BAGGAGE. This includes all beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency” (Link). I never check a bag, ever. I always put everything in the backpack and rolling [...]

  13. MySpace Blocks Creepy Adults

    MySpace is stupid as hell: “MySpace users who are 18 or over could no longer request to be on a 14- or 15-year-old’s friends’ list” (Link). Oh yeah, all those creepy adults can only see partial profiles, now. Mission accomplished, guys. Are you kidding me?! On a website where people are aged 69, 123, 184, [...]

  14. RSS File Extension

    There has always been a bit of talk on RSS and whether or not it will be widely accepted. Many people suggest that ‘RSS’ doesn’t seem to flow off the tongue too easily. Why not, though? I don’t think we’re giving people much credit. People can be taught anything. Heck, we’re all still typing www. [...]

  15. Internet Downtime

    I’m torn. Is it fair for Comcast to compensate me a dollar-and-change for a full day’s worth of downed cable access? I spend a lot of time on the internet! It’s my life! I feel that my inability to get online and watch TV was worth waaaaay more than a dollar. But wait, I truly [...]

  16. 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 [...]

  17. 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 [...]

  18. Google Calendar, Act I of I

    I wrote a play to spite Mr. Veloso (“…Then you come up with a play.”), I hope he hates it. That jerk. Scene: It’s a dark cloudy morning. The sun is trying to get up but can barely poke through the clouds. Devin rolls over and looks out the window and takes a long look… Devin: Good [...]

  19. Meeting Dan Hawkins

    Many of you associate CU Boulder with any number of things. Sex, drugs, football and rock and roll are just a few of the things we’ve become well known for (not the nationally recognized physics professor, the volunteerism nor the Nobel Laureate). In any case, football has been a cornerstone in the school’s culture. That’s [...]

  20. Myspace Comments Suck

    Reason #293 why Myspace is Pure Crap: “This user’s comments are currently disabled. They will be back shortly. Please do NOT email me about this. Just wait [...]

  21. Poverty and Africa

    I’m going to be brutally honest, today. I’ll begin by saying the situation in Africa sucks. The world has, for the most part, ignored the entire continent. Well, except maybe for South Africa. I hear they have diamonds… I wish we could do a better job -not just as a nation, but as a world- to [...]

  22. MySpace Ads Suck

    I was running some numbers today because, well, I hate myspace. Usually I can handle people’s unique background images and their silly javascript cursors but I hate the crammed, ad-filled look. I took a screenshot of the ‘above-the-fold’ view I see on my resolution (1280×1024). I end up seeing almost a perfect 800×800 square. Now as [...]

  23. Clipboard Contents Gone

    Just a little helpful tip for anyone out there looking to save themselves all kinds of time: Don’t crash Windows when there’s an entire document stored only in your clipboard (Ctrl-C). You won’t get that sucker back… believe me.

  24. Is myspace Serious?

    // I may regret saying this but: what the fuck, myspace? I tried to log in to it today for the second time and it was down. You either hate me, your users, or some mixture of both. “Login is temporarily disabled while we fix some database problems. We’ll be back shortly. [...]

  25. Google and Evil

    I’m starting to hate this Google-China attack fest, lately. Do people forget Google is a company? Do people realize that China is huge? ‘Evil’ is such a relative term, just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s evil. In addition, why do we have double standards? MSN and Yahoo were first to comply and [...]
