He Who Laughs Last?

Posted on February 09, 2008
So the anti-war nuts in Berkeley have been spending their time (do they have jobs?) protesting a Marine Corps recruiting station. Their city council voted on a resolution to voice their displeasure for the post and said “If recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders...

Now They?re Racist in Texas!

Posted on February 08, 2008
Call the racism police… ‘Jena 6′ teen arrested after another school fight. A member of the group dubbed the “Jena 6″ is facing misdemeanor assault charges after a fight at his Texas high school Wednesday, police said Thursday...

I Love America, Too

Posted on February 07, 2008
Lileks has a great column today about how it’s un-PC to love America unless you temper your comments with sufficient criticism. But. Someone somewhere is a practicing Baptist and someone somewhere else is eating a hamburger larger than you?d prefer, and other people are watching cars go around a track at [...

Alabama Wins Recruiting

Posted on February 06, 2008
When Saban signed the #4 player (and #1 WR) in the country, it jumped Alabama to #1 in almost everyone’s rankings. Now, you will hear people with poor recruiting classes saying things like “Recruiting ranking doesn’t matter”, and in a very strict sense, that’s true...

Middle School Bans ?Intentional? Farting

Posted on February 05, 2008
Say what? According to this week’s Fire Cracker school newsletter though, the joke’s on the boys as the penalty for “intentional farting” is now a detention. “Strange, but true, thanks to a bunch of 8th grade boys, intentional farting has been banned from CRMS,” the newsletter said...

I am the Patriots of Interviewing

Posted on February 04, 2008
From my first job bussing tables when I was sixteen, throughout undergrad, and through two and a half years of law school I had a fairly remarkable record: I never interviewed for a position that I wasn’t offered. That streak ended quite unceremoniously today when I got an email informing me that I had [...

Superbowl, Crappy Commercials

Posted on February 03, 2008
So… almost three quarters in, and I have yet to see a single commercial that even comes close to being as awesome as the commercials were five or six years ago. I think Superbowl commercials have jumped the shark. I’ve had a pretty busy weekend, and this week I really need to get back into some [...

Good News!

Posted on February 02, 2008
The Judge I interviewed with last week has narrowed his potential pool of clerks for next year to four, and I am one of them. He’s expected to make a decision this week, which is awesome. I hope there’s no unwritten rule against accepting a job on the spot, because that’s what I’ll do if [...

Happy February

Posted on February 01, 2008
So… I posted every day in January. That was pretty cool. I really didn’t think the New Year’s Resolution was going to make it that far. In other news… it was supposed to snow like crazy last night. People around here were acting like people in Alabama act when someone on the news just says the [...

Hillary Clinton? Rocks?

Posted on January 31, 2008
So yesterday someone found my blog searching for “Hillary Clinton Rocks”. Wondering how this travesty could occur, I tossed the search into Blingo myself. What I found was mildly amusing: #3. Heh. The internet is funny sometimes. Hillary Clinton Rocks! (Just kidding)

It?s a Sign

Posted on January 30, 2008
Ladies and gentlemen, this tells you everything you need to know about Billary: Found it over at Mandy’s blog — Go wish her a happy birthday, she turns still-not-as-old-as-Pete today.

More on Bloomington Startup Weekend

Posted on January 29, 2008
Yesterday I posted about Bloomington Startup Weekend and thought that maybe the organizers should’ve done things a little differently in terms of their technorati “spamming” (linking to someone to get their attention and hope that they click on your link) but I got an email from one of the organizers who explained a little more [...

Of Interviews and Start-ups

Posted on January 28, 2008
Last night I had dinner with Kim, Hilary and Seth at some mexican place. It was tasty. My interview this morning went well. Spent a healthy portion of the time talking football (which is good). Turns out the Judge had a run-in with Bear Bryant back in the day, so that was an interesting story...

I’m out of town again today, but here’s a little video to hold you over until I get back. I love these little guys.

25 Years Without the Bear

Posted on January 26, 2008
So today is the 25th anniversary of the death of the best college football coach ever to walk a sideline. A few years ago I wrote a little post about The Bear. Good seasons come and go, and without tradition when they go, they?re gone. Nothing more than a few faded memories and [...

Interview

Posted on January 25, 2008
This weekend I’m headed out to Maryland to hang out with Hilary and Kim. I also have an interview on Monday for a clerkship with a circuit court judge. I’m pretty excited about the interview, as it signals that I might not be totally unemployable and, if I get offered the position, it means that [...

Moment of Truth

Posted on January 24, 2008
I was highly disappointed this morning when I realized that I had missed Fox’s Moment of Truth debut last night. I’m not much of a TV Hawk. I don’t know when things come on, and I frequently miss things I want to see. I need to get the TiVo back in action...

Beer Pong Tourney Is Coming

Posted on January 23, 2008
I cannot overstate the number of people that have asked me about this year’s beer pong tourney1. Until today, I had maintained that I didn’t really have the space to do it. I now realize that I was mistaken. I have all of the space required, I just need some warmer weather...

All Filler, No Killer?

Posted on January 22, 2008
So last night, when I should have been in bed, I started up a game of Filler. It is an addicting little game. I eventually got up to a score of 63k at level 30. Try your hand at the game. Report your scores. Flash games are good for you, I swear.

Very Amusing
