I finally applied for graduation last friday, and I got a letter back from the registrar’s office confirming that everything is in order for me to graduate. Yikes! Now i just need to make sure I pass all my classes and I’ll be scott free.

I really enjoyed this comic over at vgcats. So much in fact, that I grabbed part of it to use as a background image on my cellphone.

The phone wants the images to be 275px by 175px in order to make them fill the screen, but clearly it cuts most of that 275 down to somewhere [...]

Harvey Danger with opening acts by Jetlag Palm, Tennis Pro, and Smoosh @ Western Washington University.
Here’s the rundown:
Jetlag Palm - I wasn’t too interested in what they brought to the table. I felt that they were making noises with their guitars just for the sake of making noise. Also, one of the guys was looking [...]

I quickly located the wap [...]

Having two virus scanner installed at the same time is not a good thing. And despite numerous warnings, some people still manage to do it.

After an waiting almost 3 weeks since I orderd it, my Rio ce2100 finally arrived. I am greatly pleased with it so far. Some of the UI choices annoy me, and the player is completely useless inside the included case. But, it is a solid device and at $100 it was a hard offer to [...]
