News Stories

So, you wonder what I do when I stay up all hours of the day and night? Mainly, I look at news. It's about the only thing online that's useful. The rest of it (including everything I put up) is completely useless. I suppose entertainment is a big thing... Oh well. This is a taste of what I found recently.

Why you should use your superpowers for good, not evil. In my mind, it makes sense to go to college, get a degree, and write legit software. It's four years (maybe five) instead of ten, and costs a lot less. Besides, you might meet a nice girl in college. In prison, you'll meet Big Bubba.

Now, I normally cheer for Navy, and that's still the case, but I can't help feeling a little sad that VMI lost on Saturday. Knowing a player (#51) makes a difference. In other games, the Hawkeyes won, and so did the Cyclones. But, traffic after the game in Ames was bad as always. In two weeks, I'll never have to worry about game traffic.

This is very silly, and a little odd. Is it maybe a threat to National Security? I doubt it, but you have to wonder what else the Army has webcams on. Oh, and Ben, smile for the camera!

As far as I'm concerned, we should be quite happy. Harrison Ford will return as Indiana Jones. The new movie better be good, or I'll be very disappointed.

Buried pigs dressed as police... In all honesty, the headline is better then the story.

Maybe this is why I have so many problems... But I question this study. I was youngest in my year always, but if I wasn't youngest in my year, I would have been oldest. I have to think that there is likely some other hidden factor that is not being taken into consideration. Besides, if this is a problem, what is the solution? Someone will always be youngest.

Since today is my birthday, I figured I'd mention a nifty new piece of technology. Japan, masters of excessive consumerism, have developed a new feature to add to the ever-growing list of perks on cars in the Japanese market. Now there is a car that parks itself. Plus, the car is a hybrid. Doesn't get much niftier then that.
