karaagac vs. blago

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:03:42 -0500

I kept having this weird feeling of familiarity seeing blagojevich all over the news lately. I finally figured out why…a professor I had a few semesters back, John Karaagac, basically is blagojevich. Judge for yourself…

I’m a little behind the curve on this one, but still hilarious. I’m not sure that I would watch snl at all anymore if it wasn’t for Andy Samberg.

I returned home for break and realized I have this great thing called free time again!

A busy semester of classes, job hunting, and interviewing kept me pretty distracted, but I think I might start posting again. Expect more soon.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him. The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself. All progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

- George Bernard Shaw (via topherchris)

I disagree, the reasonable man is necessary to create progress because you can’t develop as a person without the ability to adapt internally to the external. As the unreasonable man works tirelessly to alter his surroundings, he fails himself by not learning how to control his surroundings through his own outlook on situations. In the long run, progress depends on on the reasonable man’s ability to analyze, internalize, and only then alter his surroundings.

Stuff White People Like: Unpaid Internships

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:15:00 -0400

“In most of the world when a person works long hours without pay, it is referred to as ‘slavery’ or ‘forced labor.’ For white people this process is referred to as an internship and is considered an essential stage in white development.”

“White people view the internship as their foot into the door to such high-profile low-paying career fields as journalism, film, politics, art, non-profits, and anything associated with a museum. Any white person who takes an internship outside of these industries is either the wrong type of white person or a law student. There are no exceptions.”

This post from the infamous Stuff White People Like blog rings particularly true to me right now. (See the ‘intern’ link over to the right, which of course links to public radio.)

my new bike--not as exciting as biking as a kid

Turns out riding around traffic, on real streets, in a one foot wide bike lane/”we have a 22 year old bike accident victim” lane is scary.

FX has ordered fifty two new episodes of the criminally underrated It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. There will be 13 episodes in the coming-soon fourth season, and then 39 past that.

I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am about this.

” The Wall Street Journal would like to inform you about 4chan.org, a “website” that starts “memes” such as “LOLCats,” which is “humorous images of cats with loud text beneath them in a fake language,” and the “Rick Roll,” an “online bait-and-switch” that sends you to “the music video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up,” a hit song from 1988.” The Wall Street Journal, by the way, is a “newspaper.” “

Wow, thanks WSJ for catching me up on all the lastest internet buzz. I can’t wait for next week’s breaking article on a new mysterious content aggregator known as “digg”

Found this commercial a while back, but had completely forgotten about it until I came across it again today. Hysterically funny, and ingenious. I wish all advertisements could be so clever.
