Secrets

Monday, December 11, 2006

When I was in college, I was a frequent visitor to a site called bittersweets. People would post little vignettes that started out nice and reassuring, but always ended sadly. Some of them were quite moving and when the site closed down, I found myself missing them intensely. Recently I was introduced [...]

There comes a time

Wednesday, August 2, 2006

in every bloggers life when he has to ask, “Is anybody reading this?” If you are, drop a comment to this post. Even if it’s just to say “Your blog fucking sucks.” Of course, more constructive criticisms would be much more helpful.

A link to the Map Gallery of Religion in the United States. It’s quite fascinating and I highly recommend checking it out.

Python Challenge

In an effort to find something to focus my efforts on, I decided to revisit the Python Challenge. I was able to make it through three of the challenges yesterday, bringing me up to Level 12. In solving those 3 levels, I was reminded of why I gave up in the first place. [...]

Premature Consumerist Binge

Sunday, January 29, 2006
