i know im not supposed to have a short blog, but cisco must be attended to.
and writing 10 pages worth of weirdness makes me appreciate **can i just say? i love you! and now, a song:

a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,and z, now i know me ABC's next time won't you give me big up!

RESPEC**

1000 words worth of gender.

i got my ubuntu disks and installed ubuntu... if i could fix it so my mp3 player sync'd with my computer i'd make my whole OS ubuntu and not just the dual boot, but i think ima install xp soon-like


partitions are messed up though, but at least i have two hard drives

i cried, jen cried, omaima cried, bill cried ...

p said we were hot

(we being jen and myself)



the picture that started it ALL

this song aint about no booty; its about transistors... ya dig?

twisted transistor

where does biology end and society take over?

considering i havent really thought about nature against nurture, but saw it as more of a middle ground where i saw cases for both sides... this article actually put fact into some of my thoughts.

what really struck me was the bit about the boys who were born as girls, but really were boys and then after puberty struck they were raised as boys. and since this was a part of the culture (in the dominican republic i think?) it just was a natural thing... whereas in america we havent really reached that point of seamless acceptance of other people

another interesting thing was the development and differences betwixt children that are 3, and children that are 6, and so forth and their commonly chosen gender to hang out with...

GENDER VS. SEX?

this was one of the best articles to read out of this unit, but probably because im too far out of popular culture and too narrowminded about hte narrowmindedness of barbies and kens to let stuff sit
maybe i just like people to be natural... (says the girl with the unnaturally red hair =o)

if i ever have kids one day ill just give them tux's and huskey's to play with
problem solved.

saw ted at the bar, and asked him to sing for us
and he sung us me and mia, which was NEAT
and then we were talking which was very cool
nice man, that ted leo is

in any sort of case aside from that...
my goal in applied tech during class is to finish p's database of his music
and also to at least have 4 different sources for my research
thank you and goodnight.

xoxomo =)

blogger is lame

online tagging - go to university of madison's website?

intel making processors that use silicon lasers to add to moore's law really doesn't matter because the speed of the computer one day will plateau because, like height of growing human beings, its not completely a linear growth

ALSO INTERESTING IN WIRED!
article about myspace and bands article about absinthe

update

last week was a weird week for applied tech because I had to miss friday.

anyway, I haven't started my research paper but I'm halfway through databasing pagnani's music in the box and thats the vast majority of the music kept in the room.

i mucho enjoyed teh tech expo last week and made some good connections for graduate school and computer science field

i also decided what i'm taking next semseter for dual enrollment and i'm going to take an intro to SE, or java class, as well as accounting.

if astroids collide with earth there isnt much i can do about it.

i finished editing my chuck's paper for pop culture and im halfway through all families are psychotic nad im wondering why it isnt a movie yet...


casimir pulaski day - sufjan stevens.

thank you and goodnight.

Quick and to the Pointless

its about time that MIT sent out those 100$ notebooks, but i think its kind of lame that they only get a Gig worth of info.... but its a start

BUT THEY AREN'T SENDING THEM TO SOUTH AMERICA!!!

a conjunction of drones simulating the way in which sufjan stevens has an existential crisis in the great godfrey maze

xerox invented gui.
i saw pirates of silicon valley and it has to be correct.

in other news, rainbow sherbet does not make you any less dehydrated.
but it sure is tastey!

biggest wifi cloud is in rural oregon

since ruralness is awesome for wifi... it'll work when i join the peace corp and go to south america to provide high speed cheap internet to those people

THREE THINGS FOR RESEARCH PAPER
1. why seattle is awesome when it comes to computers
2. steven jobs
3. nolan bushnell
4. phenomena of

i fell asleep on my arm

ubuntu linux

and i still dislike ipods, even with the release of the nano and video ipod

i have anime hair

i need to get a wireless internet connection then my new computer will be SWEET

i like the fact that i dont have programs on it

beta band is amazing and a half

i got my zen in the mail, and i received almost all of my computer parts
except for the MOBO!
i think i shall make this my major project for adv. tech, but still do all the major work for my A+ deal

i also got accepted at michigan tech!!! complete with an email address there, and everything
look at me grow up

AND I HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED WE <3 KATAMARI YET!!!!!

as far as pop culture goes...

• im almost completely finished with everything bad is good for you, and it's alright quasi informative, but also incredibly repetative
• i still have my chucks paper to do, but it shall be finished by the end of the week

now as far as advanced tech goes...

reflection on "The Player" by Ethan Watters
if i could in any way, minus the collapse of atari in 1983, end up like Nolan Bushnell I would consider my life complete and my time in school worth it. to produce a product, and then manage two sucessful household name companies would be INSANE and a half. however, the part where he talks about modern courtship and how you can use video games to talk to girls is weird...
the best part was when he described getting his MBA by scamming people but making them have fun about it.

reflection on 10 cards go toe-to-toe in five world- title matches
all of these gpu's are more expensive than my entire computer...

a lot to say

blogger never works half the time

i reasearched chuck taylor's converse all-stars
more tomorrow though

i bought various computer parts to throw together and make a computer
and a zen mp3 player

pirates of silicon valley is amazing and a half

ill reply to those articles later because im exhausted right now

michigan tech

so, i missed the past few days of school to visit michigan tech
which was amazing and a half
i applied to the business school there, but my advisor wants me to branch off into other science/math/engineering type activities since im a math person
i hope financial aid whatnots go through because i really want to go next year
because i dont want to pretend to be a civil engineer at ann arbor for four years

i still have to finish cisco ch.2, IT ess. ch. 2, and my paper for pop culture
in addition to "everything bad is good for you"
which, i have been enjoying since i can make sense out of his thesis
the highlight so far has been an essay written in the form of video games having been invented before reading and thus describes how detrimental reading is to society

also, my hatred of cars and my computer has risen to disgusting levels these days
mainly because betwixt the two im going to be spending 1000$ish

right now my laptop's screen is burned out, the internet card fried and im using my mothers, im using both USB ports for a keyboard and mouse, the battery died and the charger (turned power supply) likes to fall out of its socket so its held in with tape
and the sound sucks, my monitor likes to have seizures on the screen, and my printer refuses to anything but tell me it has an error
