And so the vacation begins

February 29th, 2008 No Comments

I’m now starting a long overdue vacation and I don’t have to worry about work for 9 whole days. It’s soooooooooo marvelous. I may not post, I’ll be having too much fun building a new office desk and a few other build projects. Can’t WAIT.

Witnessing “Reasons For Hope”

February 28th, 2008 No Comments

Today, Dr. Jane Goodall gave her talk Reasons For Hope at FAU’s Arena — which incidentally, isn’t much of an arena — and it was a great experience. The talk about an hour long with nearly 2,000 in attendance. I’m guessing at the attendance but they were still packing people in when there [...]

Mid-terms are nearly done!

February 25th, 2008 No Comments

I’ve just finished up a rough/not-so-rough draft of my mid-term for ANT4930-009 Anthropology of Islam. All I can say is that Professor Keshodkar certainly made us write a fairly daunting paper in just one week when we had a considerably less intense ethnographic paper due just two weeks ago. I really wish he [...]

That’s pretty sweet unfettered access to an entire library dedicated to Africa. This comes at a good time since [...]

I’ve been looking for snack foods lately that aren’t chocolate and I happened upon a recipe for kale chips from 28cooks. Very tasty stuff! They’re thin and wafer-y but [...]

Smash Lab sucks hard, VP of Discovery apparently agrees

February 13th, 2008 4 Comments

So some Veep of Discovery Communications got air that their “science” show Smash Lab sucks a big one and wrote an open letter to Discovery Channel viewers on “what to do” with the show. Everyone has the same idea: can it. I watched the first episode, and only the first one, it was [...]

I’m trying to act shocked, really.

This “reporter” thinks girls shouldn’t go to college:

I completely agree, you don’t need to go to college because you already duped some boneheaded editor-in-chief to hire you. You have a job making a mockery of yourself which should give you enough to write about until you marry that rich guy and then he divorces [...]

The paper, it’s done! Sort of.

February 11th, 2008 No Comments

I’ve finally gotten my first essay of the year done and all that’s left is to proof it which my girlfriend and I will do tomorrow morning. It’s not the greatest thing I’ve ever written but some of the source material was scattered in terms of writing. I’ve learned less about the supposed [...]
