This is the way our Prof insults us ...

... during his lecture on Computer Architecture:

"... so Intel Itanium's branch predictor works by flip-flopping. You know, like John Kerry. Actually I probably shouldn't make political jokes, 'cause from what I see, most of you guys can't vote in this country anyways..."

Aiyaaaaaa....

... This week is gonna suck. I'll be glad when it's over. Whoever created the Lambda Calculus (blast you, Alonzo Church) needs to be shot.

On a sadder note, R.I.P. Chris Reeve and Ken Caminiti. Makes you think about what's really valuable.

Anyways, posted an extremely random picture. Is it worthy? Let me know what you think.

NFL season about to roll

In the spirit of the upcoming football season, here's a thought:

(16:53:22) HuLkRuLeS 2k: Vikings release DT Brock Lesnar
(16:53:26) HuLkRuLeS 2k: so much for that 1st pick
(17:32:33) Dave Haber: Brock Lesnar sucks.... they should have signed the Big Show instead

And more regarding yellowness:

HuLkRuLeS 2k: i just saw the greatest thing ever, an egg with 2 yolks
HuLkRuLeS 2k: is that like twins?
HuLkRuLeS 2k: man
HuLkRuLeS 2k: all my life i've dreamed of meeting a pair of yellow twins
HuLkRuLeS 2k: this is not what i had in mind

Meanwhile, David M asks about the existence of Santa Claus here. I guess big dude has moved to Colorado.

Puerto Rico

Posted some more squirrel action shots in the Animals gallery. Click on a picture to see it full size.








On a lighter note, mad props to the lady in Boston Market who asked me yesterday: "Are you Chinese? Puerto Rican?"

Yahoo Sports

Yahoo Sports headline: "Eagles' Kalu out for season"

Just thought that was funny :-D

There was an Indian woman in last night's episode of Crossing Jordan. A widow of a recently dead gay doctor with AIDS, she flirted with the only brown ME in the office. She's pretty dam hot, too. I wonder what she smells like.

A recent news article focuses on the rampant information phishing on the internet. I got a few of these too. One of the emails claims to be from Paypal, asking me to confirm that I have added an authorized email (one "laptopseller@yahoo.com") to my account. Of course, I haven't, and they conveniently provided a link to my account. Blah. Don't click on these. Don't be stupid.

Update: Interested on getting smarter about this? Click here for some tips. Also try out the "IQ" test to check your knowledge. I only scored 80%, and I thought I was smart.

While we're talking about Paypal, they settled a class action lawsuit. Further discussion here.

Best movie of the summer is this, of course.

Indonesia Uber Alles

I wanna just say sometihng about the Duke/Apple Ipod announcement. I think many students should be smart enough to realize they can sell the damn thing on Ebay and get enough $$$ for a spankin new Palm/Pocket PC/Treo/Clie whatever, which is *much* more useful (get a memory card for it and you can play songs decently). The price for 4th generation Ipods in the second hand slightly used market will plummet. So moral of the story, if you want one of these, wait till school year rolls :)

On a lighter note, congrats to Indonesia for having the 4th highest piracy rate in the world, just behind China, Vietnam and Ukraine. Rock on!

I also like this flower I posted.
