    Interestingly enough, I just got done re-watching the "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" presentation by a researcher at UCSF. I need the reminder from time-to-time.

    I like you Daxon.

    I like to believe that the universe has conspired to give you all the bad opinions so that millions of other people can have good opinions and we can maintain the cosmic balance.

    I've done it a few times, and there is nothing like the feeling you get when you deliver the joke that you jotted down in your notebook and practiced in front of the mirror and told to several of your friends (who yucked it the fuck up) and are met with uncomfortable silence.

    Even worse is when the only people laughing is the table of your friends in the back who are forcing it so you don't open your wrists on the port-o-stage. Everyone knows they came with you.

    You've scared me off of it forever.

    That's why I like doing jokes in mediums where you can't hear them not laugh.

    In [chat], no one can hear you meh.

    I was thinking today after Googling something and Wikipedia was the first result. Remember when Wikipedia didn't exist? You had to Google stuff and go to some website you never heard of, maybe find an edu address. You had to hunt this shit down! Now Wikipedia has everything with references to the sites you used to have to find yourself!

    Or you could use one of those shitty encyclopedias that came with your computer, like Encarta.

    Encyclopedia on cd!

    Or you could pay for the online version of britannica!

    One of the guys on the top of the Wikipedia has these sunglasses on and I thought he looked silly so I made fun of him in my head but it turns out he's blind so I felt like a piece of shit.

    A few years ago I discovered that one of my students, a 14 year old boy, was a major contributor to this lovely Wikipedia article.

    As an aside, you have been doing too many nerdy things lately when someone mentions "grabbing their mail" and you imagine that they are going to go don their armor.

    You'll have to talk to Inqi if you want some of that ren-faire action

    *ahem* you don't wear armor when you fence, you ignoramus.

    Not even mail?

    I actually think it's kind of annoying how you can't hear people laugh online. You never really know if you're being hilarious or just a prat.

    Maybe you'll reach critical mass and collapse in on yourself, sucking all the bad opinions into a bad opinion black hole from which they'll never escape?

    woohoo, third place out of a whole bunch of people playing starcraft in a G&T tourney

    barely lost the semi final :( and it's to someone who's ranked higher than any of us so it was nice.

    but my last series was lots of fun, it's such a fun thing to go through no matter how you do but I'm quite pleased with my placement. the two in the finals were the ones I expected to place higher than myself and so it is.
