Graph Paper!

Here's an incredibly useful site for those late-night homework problems where you find you suddenly need more graph paper.

Google Maps + Satellite = Fun

So if you haven't heard about how Google added functionality from their recent Keyhole satellite purchase into Google Maps, you should really go check it out...it's super-neat. The shots of my house are really low-res, so I can't zoom in very far, but here are shots of my two childhood camps: GFC and BTSR.

Hmm...everywhere I go seems to just go by initials...maybe it's some kind of sign that I should now address myself by my initials.

No, that sounds dumb...I'll stick with my name till I figure out what these camps are trying to tell me (or until I forget about the whole iidea altogether).

This has been too long coming.

Justices on P2P?

Supposedly the justices in the Grokster Supreme Court case have set up a computer with Grokster on it for their use. This has lead to a drive to host as many legal files up there as possible.

I have no idea how many people have actually done this at all, or how usefull it will be. It is an interesting idea, but you'd have to predict what the justices would search for in order to host those types of files. No one denys that there's plenty of illegal file-sharing going on, but I guess the idea is to show that the technology can be used for legal purposes.

Mitch Page

A page full of Mitch Hedberg quotes, in case you're ever in need of just the right one.

Not much else to say right now...just down in the LRC in the engineering buildings. I had to print off a lab manual and homework, and since I still haven't gotten around to buying a new cartridge for my printer, I came down the hill. Plus, they have really nice computers (with absolutely beautiful screens), and I wanted to try out both Portable Firefox and Trillian Anywhere off my new USB watch. Yes, I'm a huge nerd, and have a USB 2.0 drive in my watch. It's still a nice looking watch, though, and works quite well, thank you very much. Both the programs work just as they should, so I'm here with all my preferences and extensions set up just like I have them on my laptop. Life is good.
