Oh boy, I thought class was going to suck

August 29th, 2008 1 Comment

But I’m now assured that it will never be uninteresting. We actually had a new student today join us. In her defense, I don’t think she read the course description at all. She looked like a nice Jewish girl but has punctuality problems. But then she ended up leaving less than [...]

I have returned

August 26th, 2008 No Comments

The blog hiatus was over and I was due for one. The Olympics really helped steer me away from my huge daily intake of news articles and blog posts, I was beginning to get a little burned out. Also, school started this week and it’s going to be a doozy for sure.
Today’s class [...]

Blog hiatus nearly over

August 19th, 2008 No Comments

I’ve been on a self-imposed hiatus here in the last week or so for various reasons. Mostly, I was busy with the Olympics and some home-related stuff. I would’ve made a big post tonight but we’ve spent most of the night preparing for a tornado that may or may not (read: probably won’t) [...]

Some helpful and not so helpful ‘hacks’ on saving electricity

August 13th, 2008 1 Comment

Here’s a 37 point list of different ways to help save electricity that I scrounged up from the (new to me) Carnival of the Green #140 (URL lists it as #2 because it’s the second time Everyday Trash has hosted it).
However, if you read the list carefully, there are some very glaring errors:
1. Not exactly [...]

Busy, busy

August 11th, 2008 No Comments

This has been a busy last few days. First it was the Olympics and then the Bon Festival at the Morikami Japanese Gardens and a few nights’ out drinking with friends. I am going to be editing the pictures from the festival this week and will have them up on Flickr; I also [...]

I thought cowboy boots were supposed to be super comfy

August 7th, 2008 No Comments

I can tell you they were at the beginning of the Coheed & Cambria show, when we arrived around 6:15PM to The Revolution. About 45 minutes later, we were inside. We haven’t been there in over a year, since we saw Gojira (that was a helluva show too). But tonight was special, [...]

I’m innocent, I tells ya!

August 5th, 2008 No Comments

Does anyone else find it, in the least bit, fishy as hell that Mary-Kate Olsen is requesting immunity from the DEA’s prosecution in discussions regarding Heath Ledger’s death? The reports state she’s told the investigators “everything” she knows. If that were even slightly true, why would she be so adamant about getting immunity [...]

So what’s this I hear about the Templars wanting to sue the Vatican?

August 4th, 2008 No Comments

While thumbing through my shared RSS feeds in Google Reader, I came across this little gem: Knights Templar demanding “good name” and assets back from Vatican after 700 years. I’m not joking, this is a real article. Now, the fact that it’s from The Register makes it suspicious enough as they’re not only [...]

Florida Governor Crist starts statewide push for alternative fuels

August 4th, 2008 No Comments

In a statement at the 3rd annual Florida Farm to Fuel conference, Crist announces enhanced support for alternative energy sources. No doubt much of his new found environmentalism enthusiasm has been spurred by his recent visit to the UK, meeting with leaders in their country’s push to energy alternatives.
I never thought much of Crist [...]

Orlando’s LYNX transport switching to biodiesel

August 3rd, 2008 No Comments

While there isn’t much information coming out of the 3rd annual Florida Farm to Fuel conference, it was announced last week that Orlando’s LYNX bus lines will be switching to biofuels entirely by Fall 2009. The transport authority serves much of the Central Florida region but has its highest traffic in Orlando, no doubt [...]
