This post is likely to be a bit scattered. Partially because I need to get back to doing homework in a minute but also because my brain has been in a lot of places lately. So here’s a linkpost with thoughts on IP Law, Linux and other stuff. I also have a bunch of Lisp [...]
So, what are some good things that have been happening lately? – Good things continue to happen around the N900. Specifically, Nokia has announced they won’t allow carrier customization of the phone. Presumably, that includes jailing the user or preventing access to the terminal/root access. Here’s hoping. Secondly, Thomas Thurman has begun writing a tutorial [...]

Today’s linkpost will focus on two topics. One is the NSA’s immoral spying activities which Obama promised to fix on his campaign trail and the other is the ever expanding mire of modern Intellectual Property Law. Let’s start with the NSA. There have been three separate arstechnica articles lately about the failures of the NSA [...]
Since I’ve been getting a new phone I’ve spent a good deal of time lately thinking about the telephone industry. I have several problems with it but I suppose the largest is that I don’t want voice service. I really just want to be paying for data. I’m happy to pay for Data at home [...]
Here are a few video lectures I’ve enjoyed that simply never could have made it to Television. Too much of a niche audience I suppose. They’ll go from most comprehensible to non-nerds/programmers to incomprehensible to non-nerds/programmers. Soon I’ll post up something actually productive or cool. For now, it’s all school. I still really like Giles [...]
So, my browser is getting full again and I feel like clearing out the backlog. Prepare yourselves for a linkpost! Also, I’ll try to arrange links by progressive nerdiness or some such. NOTE: I’ve been terrible at keeping up with other people’s blogs. If you’re a friend of mine and I haven’t read/commented in a [...]
I can’t believe it’s mid-April. That’s just wrong. Everything is going really well but it’s hard to believe how fast this semester has gone by. Last week was pretty good. It just seems like so much is happening. I’ll say this, I have a really fantastic and interesting group of friends whom I deeply care [...]
I sort of forgot that schoolwork all bunches together for a nice crunch towards the end of the semester. Consequently, I’m juggling a fair bit at the moment. Not least because I’m also sorting out Financial Aid and Housing for the next year. On the bright side, I’ve got some fun projects in the works [...]
This week has ended up being pretty nice, if off the wall. Teresa and I were getting locked into an apartment over at the Aventine at Ashford. I’m also beginning to dig into Financial Aid applications for 2009-2010 and preparing for all the schoolwork I’ve got to do in April. Oh, and before I beat [...]
This is just a quick link post. There may be one or two comments but I’ll try to keep my mouth shut and I promise I won’t ramble on like an idiot about language preferences. I know I don’t write enough code. Pixar is making another movie called Up and it’s out at the end [...]
