I saw The Social Network on Thursday night. A very interesting movie (even though I never use Facebook). It was a fairly accurate representation of what was going on at the time, but it really got me thinking of the past and how everything now is so different from Web 1.0. I grew up with the internet, and was using it as early as 1993. I remember ( Read more... )

I just looked at my journal and realized it had been about a month and a half, so I should probably right something ( Read more... )

Finals week is about to start. I'll be busy with tests and then figuring out PSU stuff. In the mean time, here's a small time waster.

I had just finished adding General Surgery by J. B. Murphy into librarything and went to the author page to see if any other books had been added. It turns out on other ( Read more... )

Proof that I have been reading when I find a few extra minutes of time.

Sorry madmarty, there will not be a midnight of 9 tonight at my theater, or anywhere in the Portland area for that matter. Midnights tend to fall out of style once the school year starts up again. Have fun on your trip.

I hope you had fun at Kumori-con, blackjackrocket! I'm sorry I didn't go, but ( Read more... )
