Link Dump
Monday, April 19th, 2004Just blogging some of the interesting things I’ve stumbled across the past couple days:
Duke University Cuts 8 A.m. Classes
McDonald’s CEO Dies of Heart Attack
Apple – New PowerBook G4’s
beyond power laws (how to have a successful weblog)

Page 23
Thursday, April 15th, 2004Drew told me to:
Grab the nearest book.
Open the book to page 23.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
From a book called Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson:
Godfrey: “Tortured?”
That didn’t quite work out like I had hoped, but it is still interesting nonetheless.
MSA Elections
Wednesday, April 14th, 2004Today I witnessed an event which completely encapsulates all that is not holy with elections. Namely, holding a huge gala on Northrop to try to buy the MSA vote. I hope they fail. Rumor has it that the Will/Bader campaign spent something like $5000 on the event today. Outrageous. They [...]
What a night…
Sunday, April 11th, 2004Ann Marie and Kevin came and visited the U this evening. The three of us and Sarah Henning (so that makes four) hung out. Dinner at Village Wok was excellent—I didn’t have much since I had just eaten at Don Pablo’s a couple hours before, but we did manage to finish most of [...]

Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US
Clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate Bin Laden since 1997 has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the US. Bin Ladin implied in US television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example [...]
Instructional Shirt-Folding
Thursday, April 8th, 2004Well, I ran into this video today that presents a neat way to fold shirts. I’ve got no idea if a lot of people fold shirts this way—as I’ve never had to fold more than a half-dozen shirts at a time in my life.
Needless to say, it’s pretty slick and easy to learn—although the [...]

War President
Wednesday, April 7th, 2004I came across this picture while reading some of the blogs I’m subscribed to. It’s pretty touching if you ask me, a nice tribute to a president who has managed to do so much wrong in so little time.
“Below is a … mosaic composed of the photos of the American service men and women [...]
