Back l8r, b safe k thx bye
A cheerful email from Georgia Tech’s Information Overlords this morning:
The tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech earlier this year drove home a clear message — effective and efficient communication is an essential component of any emergency plan. …
Everyone who has a Georgia Tech e-mail address will now receive emergency e-mail alerts. However, in order to […]

The Bachelor’s Kitchen: Do the Mojito
You’d be amazed what you can do with cheap beer. And some green leafy crap you find near the plastic fruit.
Quicktime format.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world
Those who can think beyond binary, and those who can’t.
Nothing could possibly express my current political motivation — and frustration — better than this unofficial ad on YouTube:

New computers STILL not helping
It’s been a quiet week and I’ll be up way too late tonight doing grody math and PowerPoint, so I’m digging into the archives for today’s tasty nugget. An old blogosphere travelling companion asked what ever happened to my old Switch ad, so I dug it out of mothballs for those of you who’ve […]

Vloggers: GOP, grow a pair, the babe said so
A bunch of geeks involved with this political vlogging thing (who does that, anyway?) compiled a little advert exhorting the Republican presidential candidates not to chicken out of confronting average American voters via YouTube, whether at a CNN-co-sponsored debate that might conflict with unspecified fundraisers, or any convenient asynchronous time they prefer. One of […]

Oh and, don’t breathe, either.
I wonder if “working in Bunger-Henry” is a disqualifying precondition for health insurance.
So there’s this new box out on the wall in the lobby of my building. I hadn’t noticed it before, but on the way to the water fountain this evening my eye was caught by its bright colorful LCD goodness. […]

Don’t touch me!
Through no one’s fault but my own, in my typical scatterbrained, procrastinating, irresponsible way, I have become uninsured.
Yeah, Fall semester, when I’m not a student? That starts in two weeks. But Summer semester? That totally ended two days ago (like I’d notice; I haven’t taken a real class in years). […]

Who are they? Why are they here?
As soon as Ron Paul got his first chance to speak during this morning’s Republican debate in Iowa, what seemed like 1/5th to 1/4th of the audience erupted in raucous applause and whoops and cheers in response to his answer. It was disruptive, almost unruly.
Between that and their internet graffiti, I still gotta wonder: […]

Ghostbusters for Biden
I was wandering around the spin room looking for somebody when I suddenly spotted a Ghostbuster, being interviewed by Obama Girl. Turns out, Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson was at the Citadel for the debate, promoting education issues with the Creative Coalition. Ernie likes the traditional “top three” candidates but said he was most […]

Ruh-roh, Rudy, it’s RuTube
After two weeks, Rudy Giuliani still hasn’t approved a single text or video comment to his YouTube Spotlight video. He’s also still being evasive about the Republican YouTube debate. And yet this guy is going to stand up to al Qaeda?
