Learning something new every day.

  • FBI and Universities

    Ok so I don’t have much to add this other than stupid government. Basically the FBI has decided that to “fight terrorism and student extremists” they are promoting a set of guidlines(PDF) to pinpoint potential foreign spies or terrorists. Not a bad idea, however bad plan, because they basically say that students can be interested […]

  • Advertising and the Blogosphere

    TechMeme and the rest of the blogosphere is going crazy over the recent disclosure of an advertising campaign through Federated Media and Microsoft. Personally I couldn’t care, advertising is just that advertising, a way to pay the bills for these blogs. As long as people disclouse the difference between ads and their acutal content there […]

  • MySpace vs. Facebook

    Duncan Riley at TechCrunch wrote an interesting article about MySpace and Facebook. I have to frankly agree with him, even though I despise MySpace for a great many reasons, the numbers tell a different story users are still being attracted to MySpace. However the people that I have seen being attracted to MySpace still tends […]

  • Google Reader

    I have been using Google Reader for the past couple of weeks and I started using the sharing feature. If anybody wants to keep up with what all I am reading and all the cool stuff that I find out on interwebs, subscribe to my shared items feed – available here. http://www.google.com/reader/shared/06836422528150126485 Obviously you don’t […]

  • What Is Meant by Being Too Old?

    So everyone on Techmeme is talking about The Age Question, the idea that someone who is over 25 or so is no longer able to come up with a new idea for the internet. Frankly this is a stupid argument, Venture Capitalists by the very idea of what they do shouldn’t care about someone’s age. […]

  • The Overachievers

    The Overachievers is a wonderful book that I have finally read after seeing the author of the book on an episode of The Colbert Report (unknown which episode though it was a while back, sometime in the summer of 06 if I recall correctly). The main theme of the book is overachievers in America specifically […]

  • Spend Money On What You Love

    Everyone has heard about how you shouldn’t spend money on coffee everyday, or you shouldn’t spend money on this or that. The money all adds up they say, three dollars for coffee, for every work day comes to over $700 dollars in a year. However I say spend the three dollars if that makes you […]

  • Simplicity Sells

    There is a series of discussions that occurs every year where a 1,000 people are invited to discuss ideas in Technology, Entertainment, and Design or TED. The people who are invited to this roundhouse of discussions are simply some of the most intelligent, outspoken, maverick and iconic people that exist. To be invited to even […]

  • Woman for UN – Secretary-General

    Okay, so this week I have been really bad at posting, thus far I have missed 2 out of the 3 days. Unfortunately I couldn’t do much of anything about the project or being sick. Speaking of which I’m feeling slightly better, today I can actually think straight, so here goes another crazy venture into […]

  • Stereotypes: Will they ever go away?

    An idea that has been discussed on and off again in my history class (History of Women in America) is what would happen if some how every living person on the face of the earth did not have any stereotypes about any other person. No racial, no religious, no gender and sexual, no stereotypes of […]

Got any book recommendations?
