I'm a blogging slacker...

blogging

Here are a few brief comments that I have been meaning to blog about but just haven't gotten around to... I could write a page on each of these, but won't:

  • Do you check your friends blogs as frequently as your rivals?

  • Have you ever had a "why the hell am I clicking on this link?" moment while web surfing?

  • I recently posted a craigslist posting to get participants in a study I'm doing. Michelle (my girlfriend) suggested putting the craigslist posting in the "gigs" section. I had though that this was just for musicians and such, but it turns out that this is for one-off jobs in general. What's amazing about this is that she taught me something about the internet where a year or two ago she was calling my computer, in general, the "magic screen". (She now has an iMac and an iPod mini)

  • Pat Benatar's "Hell is For Children" is one of the coolest songs of the 80's.

  • Fuck George Lucas and the fact that he took out the "yub yub" song that the ewoks sing in Return of the Jedi in the DVD version of the film. That bastard. I don't give a shit if he didn't like the film or that song, but this is such a large part of my childhood... I'm not sure I'll ever be able to forgive him.
