Oh, yes, another one of my early morning posts…
NSLog(); asks “What’s the most powerful song you can think of?”
I can’t decide upon a single song. However, Rage Against the Machine’s music is extremely powerful. Their lyrics, like Michael Moore movies, highlight social injustices with unrestricted fury. Although the band has broken up, the message they [...]
Although I’ve been reluctant to actively participate in social networks like Friendster, I’ve recently become addicted to Orkut and Thefacebook.
Thefacebook is an excellent tool for college students. Unlike other social networks, it’s geared primarily towards college students, and associations are developed through courses in which students are enrolled. Thefacebook provides an easy way for students [...]
Wow, I didn’t make a post yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve failed to make a daily post in one month. At least I have a good reason for it…
After watching Troy on Thursday and getting back to my dorm around midnight, I got very little sleep because I had tons of homework to finish. [...]
I’ll admit it: I’m an orange juice addict. I drink it every day, at any time, and with any type of food. My dorm is stocked with quarts of Tropicana Pure Premium, bulk containers of Tang drink mix, and pounds of fresh oranges. I don’t think I’ll be getting scurvy any time soon…
One of my [...]

I’ve discovered a practical use for my Berkeley chemistry education: I’m going to brew beer.
The idea started with rumors about my Chem 4B GSI Alex’s brewing abilities. I had heard from other students and other GSIs that Alex was a master beer maker. Although I don’t like beer, I was interested in the subject of [...]
After waking up early to sign up for next year’s classes through Telebears, I began research work on my ESPM essay. So far, I’ve read a few articles, and a plan for my essay is slowly coming together. Nevertheless, this essay is killing me! Why must engineers be burdened with such trivial activities =P
NSLog(); presents an interesting question: Have you ever cheated on a test? Helped someone cheat? Been caught?
Of course, as mentioned in the post, whether or not a person has cheated depends on how the act of cheating is defined. For some individuals, cheating is the mere act of gaining an unfair advantage. Of course, with [...]
Anil Dash makes an interesting observation: many nerds, at some point in their lives, have made an Excel spreadsheet documenting some aspect of their lives. Dash concludes his post by asking readers to comment about the spreadsheets they’ve made. Truly entertaining stuff.
As for myself, I made an Excel spreadsheet of my daily weight a [...]
I found this interesting. According to the blog post and its source, only 10% of Christians teens considered music piracy to be wrong.
Now, don’t get me wrong; I definitely think that stealing is a crime and a sin. However, I also think that music piracy and stealing are two different things: the former involves the [...]
