I have all CS classes this semester. That means this is a really important (and probably busy) semester.
Operating Systems - This one’s taught by the professor with probably the worst reputation in the department. As in, calling people stupid in class. He also teaches Theory of Computation, which seems to be the least looked forward […]

I haven’t sent it, but this is what I have:
Critical thinking is an important skill. The job of a newspaper is to support such a skill by providing us with factual information and arguments so we can have an informed and rational view of the world. This makes me wonder: why does the Chronicle and […]

I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a letter to the Chronicle about their publishing of a daily horoscope. I keep bouncing back and forth between “this is an important critical thinking issue” and “people read these things for fun and there are bigger issues to get pissy about.” I don’t know that the […]

It looks like there’s another “based on a true story” paranormal movie coming out. The Exorcism of Emily Rose is based on the story of a German girl named Anneliese Michel who died after a failed exorcism attempt in the 70s.
I can’t find a whole lot of information about this. The usual sources don’t have […]

The AFA has a story about the ACSI lawsuit against the University of California right at the top of its page now. You know it’s important when you have to get rid of calls to oppose a .xxx domain (which, of course, makes zero sense).

I’m not a huge fan of these off center three column (do they have a better name than that?) blog designs that I keep noticing.
I demand all of them change to suit me.
Though, I like the Tester Time design otherwise and Bitch, Phd’s header image is hilarious.

…and I find a letter in the Chronicle that irritates the hell out of me:
Human Rights group undermining the Constitution
I need to write this letter due to the Human Rights Network’s actions a few weeks ago. They scolded three legislators for attending a Liberty Summit meeting.
Here’s the article.
So, let’s look at the Human Rights Network.
1) […]

I’m back in Bozeman; classes start tomorrow. Seems odd that I only have two semesters to go. Those other 3 years went by quick.

Apparently, Rob and Matt run “hate blogs,” according to Roger Koopman. I called him crazy on here once; I wonder if I get to be a hate blog, too. Probably not.
Anyway, go check out those two posts I linked. The article the quote is from reads very much like a puff piece, framing Koopman as […]
