  • My Newest Love: Economics

    Economics is a fascinating subject. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I am entranced. Now, before you go off thinking that I’ve totally lost my mind, let me explain.

  • Finally Launching the New Design

    I know that it’s been many months since I said that I was working on and getting close to implementing a redesign and restructuring of the site. Well, the day has finally come.

  • The Epitome of Laziness

    Hammocks are wonderful things. The problem is that I don’t have one nearby. But if I did, oh man… I would use it daily. There’s nothing better than a good ‘ole hammock, skillfully woven together from strands of soft rope… I think I need one in my bedroom. Heck, why don’t I use one as…

  • Roman Chariot Races

    As the chariot maneuvers to the left side of the track, the other chariots swerve aside – a horrendous collision could’ve occurred had such measures not been taken. The smaller vehicles in this Roman race swerved in and out – a dangerous web of high-speed objects weaving between one another. The Italian music on the…

  • Creativity vs. Productivity

    Regrettably, I don’t remember exactly where it was that I read something about this, but wherever it was, it certainly illustrated an important part of many people’s lives. Many of us, myself included, need to exercise a certain amount of creativity in the workplace. Whether it be in creating a graphic, drawing something, coming up…

    [local /files//dog-eats-lunch.wmv nolink] So, I figured that this video was pretty funny. My dear mother sent it to me via email. I also wanted to test out what exactly my blog does with video. I guess I’ll find out soon, eh?

  • I’m in the Future

    I’m pretty sure that none of you knew this, since I didn’t even until a few minutes ago, but I can send messages to people in the future. Yeah, that’s right. I sent a not-yet-email to someone. Mostly I’ m writing this because I haven’t written anything in awhile, and believe it or not, that…

  • The Intuos 3

    Today I received my amazing Intuos 3 tablet from Wacom. So far, I’m super-excited about it. It took me awhile to get the settings figured out and whatnot, but man am I happy with it. I didn’t get to use the Cintiq tablets down at BYU, sadly, since they wouldn’t check out the pens to…

  • Scheming Pyramids

    by

    in

    This past week, I had the wonderful opportunity of hearing a presentation about what can’t truthfully be called anything but a pyramid scheme. Well, that is, except for under the strict definition placed by the government. You see, pyramid schemes, strictly defined, are illegal in most countries. A straight-up pyramid scheme involves people dolling out…

  • Free? Free My Foot!

    in

    ‘Free’ generally implies ‘free of charge,’ in my experience. How about yours? Well, apparently not for freecreditreport.com. The revenue that they generated from the advertisements and pop-ups on their site wasn’t sufficient, so they decided that they should automatically get anyone that applied for a free credit report and sign the up for a monthly…
