Travel November 28th, 2001 @ 12:04 pm PST
The airlines are dropping prices like mad lately. I can hardly believe that Delta Web Fares is offering round trip tickets from LAX to Rome, Italy for only $314. That ticket would’ve been triple that a few months ago. I saw a commercial yesterday advertising $99 – $199 one-way tickets on American to anywhere in […]
RAM November 28th, 2001 @ 11:52 am PST
My computer has been misbehaving lately. It seems to be crashing constantly and the performance has been muddy. A few days ago I downloaded Cool Beans System Info, a nice little app that displays free RAM and processor usage. I realized that even though I have 256 MB of RAM, it seems like it’s all […]
TMQ November 28th, 2001 @ 1:20 am PST
There is a guy named Gregg Easterbrook writing for the sports section of Slate.com. Gregg runs a mailing list called TMQ – Tuesday Morning Quarterback. If you are a football fan you should go with much haste and abandon to join the list. He is hysterical and brilliant. Every Tuesday night you’ll receive a wonderful […]
Genetics November 27th, 2001 @ 9:30 pm PST
I got in a bit of a heated debate recently on the topic of whether there is a genetic link to homosexuality. I remember that there was a flurry of media coverage a few years ago on the discovery of a genetic link, but I also remember hearing shortly afterwards that there wasn’t much support […]
Journaling November 26th, 2001 @ 9:43 pm PST
The journaling script is a cms you can use to keep a blog. It is one of the original blogging systems and is still popular. It’s not as easy to use as Blogger, of course, but it’s worth a look if you know a little about the guts of the ‘net and are thinking about […]
Cheaters, Inc. November 26th, 2001 @ 9:00 pm PST
The people at hemingwaypapers.com claim to have “nearly one hundred different essays” for sale. The site is allegedly a resource for research, but it smells more like plaigarism to me. At $8.95 / page you would probably be better served by doing all the work on your own. Trust me, students, your Hemingway professor has […]
Hemingway Chat November 26th, 2001 @ 8:29 pm PST
I found an active and lively discussion board dedicated to the author and his works. You can visit this site to get questions answered or just to talk with others about your ideas on particular books or short stories. Nice!

Flicks November 26th, 2001 @ 10:58 am PST
In the last week I’ve seen K-PAX, One Night at McCool’s, Home for the Holidays, and Almost Famous. Almost Famous is just an excellent movie. I loved it when I saw it in the theater and when I saw it again just now I was amazed at how good it really is. It’s one of […]
Rosy Gators November 26th, 2001 @ 8:48 am PST
Tony Barnhart, writing in the AJC: “Rarely has an open date been so productive as last Saturday was for the Florida Gators.” His preliminary analysis of the BCS numbers suggests that UF would have enough points to push past Texas even if the Longhorns beat Colorado. BTW, that Colorado-Nebraska game was unreal to watch.
