Tolerance and Learning
I think I need to be a little more tolerant when it comes to the things I’m studying…I find myself very judgemental about the ideas that are presented to me. It’s not because I don’t like them, but because I’ve learned about them in other contexts, and now it just doesn’t feel the same. I…

Firefox 1.0
Here’s some quick news for everybody. Mozilla Firefox v1.0 was released this morning. What does this mean? It means that you no longer have to depend on Internet Explorer to browse the ‘net.

Election Disenchantment
My team lost, and now I sulk. Well, not exactly. It seems that the American people have let their opinions out into the air, and it turns out that I don’t agree with more than half of the country. It’s almost embarrassing…and at some points I don’t like the looks of things in this country…

Election Excitement!
I’d be willing to lay down a hefty sum of money that says that at least 90% of all blogs that are published today somehow mention the presidential election that is taking place. It is a pretty exciting thing…this election. Both everything and nothing is on the line. No matter who wins, our everyday lives…

Welcome Back, Josher
Came back from my weekend trip to Chicago this evening. When I first got to the airport in Indianapolis, I had no problem finding a parking spot. Well, that isn’t quite true. First the machine wouldn’t give me a ticket, then I couldn’t actually find a spot for my car…but other than that I was…
