WTF Britney?
Okay I did not watch the VMA’s last night because I was working on this stupid project for my Algorithms class. But this morning I’m hearing and reading all about Britney’s dismal opening performance. I wonder if she has just committed the final act of career suicide?
I mean seriously, MTV hands you a gigantic chance […]
Weird that a printer/scanner would cost less than a textbook
Clearly the economics of consumer electronics has changed. I remember a time when you’d have to spend hundreds, perhaps thousands, to buy any kind of scanner for your computer. Earlier this week I picked up a combo printer/scanner at Target for just $80. In other words, ten dollars less than what a single textbook cost […]
Grand opening tonight for the Apple Store
I’m sure the Oxmoor Center will be rocking tonight. The new Apple Store has their Grand Opening celebration scheduled for 6 p.m.
I’m actually tempted to stop by to see if they have any of the new iPods available. I’m not getting the fancy iPod Touch, it just doesn’t have enough storage. But I’m mighty tempted […]

Who pays to sponsor this kind of research? I mean did we really learn something new, something we […]
‘Sunshine’ was okay despite being surprisingly derivative

Both movies were about risky missions sent out into space, that run into trouble when they find a vessel that was supposed to be lost on a previous mission to the same part of space. They also […]
At least Michigan won’t be in the way
I have no idea if Louisville really can contend for the National Championship in football this year. That’s certainly what a lot of people are buzzing about here in Louisville. However I do know one thing–with their loss to Appalachian State, Michigan won’t be standing in Louisville’s way.
Like I said, I”m not really an expert […]
