My usage of the word defies it’s true definition (just like any self-respecting child of the 90s).

Being Really Geeky

Credit for this goes to Vaughn. For the ultimate product of nerd and fan-boy, all’s you gotta do is: (Note – Windows machines only) 1. Start Menu 2. Run Command 3. Copy telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl in the box, and hit Enter. An MS-DOS window will pop open and from there, all you have to do is watch. I feel happy that there really are people who are nerdier than I could ever be. Alternatively, you hold down the windows key and press R. That will give you the run box. Paste the bold text into the run box and hit enter and away you go. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time and effort this took. Absolutely gorgeous.

And I keep seeing its remains when I leave/enter my house and keep thinking about it. What did he experience in his last moments (if he had any)? Did the shards of his shell just penetrate into his body and skewer the life out of him? Permancer sentado por favor. So THAT’S how it’s spelled out.

UCI Police Log

The UCI newspaper (New University) features a review of the weekly police log. Two great bits to share. On January 28th, 2007 at 16:58, a caller reported a missing pizza. On February 2nd, 2007 at 3:24 a caller reported a homeless man sleeping on the basketball court in Mesa Court. Also, a correction from last week’s issue: The Police Log said that “caller reports the theft of coffee mugs from Starbucks.” It should be noted these men were able to produce receipts for the coffee mugs and were not charged. I love my school.
