I’m off to Lake Winnipesaukee for a week so I won’t be posting for a while. See ya!

About a month ago, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision in the Grokster vs. MGM case. For those who are unaware of what Grokster is, it is a peer-to-peer file sharing service that offers similar services to the old Napster. The difference between the old Napster and Grokster, though, is that Napster […]

I just got back from good ‘ol Troy, NY where I submitted the final version of my thesis. With that done, all of the requirements necessary for my degree are now complete and I am officially a Master of Science!

I just finished watching a ridiculous Red Sox/Devil Rays game. The Red Sox eventually won it 10-9 in 10 innings but not after yet another shaky performance by the all mighty Curt Schilling. Now let’s first get a couple things straight. I think Curt Schilling is an incredible pitcher and undoubtedly a […]

I don’t think it’s hard to recognize that Track and Field is one of the truest tests of pure athleticism. Yes all sports require athletic ability, certain specialized skills, and countless hours of preparation, but it is in track and field where performance is directly linked to how fast you run, how high you […]

The word “fail” should be banned from use in British classrooms and replaced with the phrase “deferred success” to avoid demoralizing pupils, a group of teachers has proposed. Members of the Professional Association of Teachers (PAT) argue that telling pupils they […]

I never quite understood how the U.S. Anti-doping Agency managed to get themselves into the mess that they found themselves in for the men’s 4×400m relay team at the Sydney Olympic games. For those who are unaware of how the system works for the relay teams, usually there is a pool of 6 or […]

I finally got my theme working the way I wanted. I had to brush up on my CSS and I was wrestling with the stylesheets to get it formatted correctly. In any case I ended up going with a customized version of the Stylish Blue Modern theme that can be found at Alex […]

I’ve been messing with a theme that I downloaded from Matthew Maber’s website. I don’t really have it configured quite the way I want it yet and it’s kind of hacked up right now. In any case, I thought I’d enable it for now and then mess around with it some more when […]
