Life at college is great. Tons of stuff to do around campus. Just last week, I listened to Jeff Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks, talk to us about what’s going on in the world of film and animation production. And past the spectacular events going on, there’s the school work. But it’s a lot different. In […]
Michigan didn’t feel half as bad in their Appalachian State loss as USC does now.
I’m currently taking an introductory seminar called, “A View from the Podium: The Art of Conducting.” Limited to freshmen, and only about 15-20, it’s a specialized class working with the Stanford Orchestra Director to learn about conducting. Watching tapes of the greats, determining their stylistic and musical differences, and such. As part of that, we […]
First note: Rick Ankiel has fallen way off his hot streak. Mebbe the hoopla spread by me and everyone else killed him, but since that 7 RBI game, he’s played another 14 games, with 7 hits in 49 at bats (hope I counted right), which counts for a .143 avg over that time. He’s had […]
Before I get to the real post, huge props to 30 Rock for the Emmy win! I honestly don’t care about a lot of TV, and really don’t watch much of it at all, but 30 Rock is definitely on the very short list. There was some arm-pumping going on in that hotel room when […]
(I guess I just throw my favorite posts from my main blog here, now. I really like this one; I think it really touches on my passions, for I do love baseball) I was looking at the very trusty MLB.com when I saw that The Cardinals had a 16-4 rout of the Pirates. Impressive, but […]
I was looking at the very trusty MLB.com when I saw that The Cardinals had a 16-4 rout of the Pirates. Impressive, but not the most notable part of it. Flashback: in 2000, Rick Ankiel was a young pitcher, very promising. Everyone had big expectations after a great regular season. Suddenly, one day, he loses […]
Who decided that “oversight” should have two opposing definitions? They’re not complete opposites, but close. I thought this was a nice find on the answers page for it: oversightn Definition: care, supervisionAntonyms: ignorance, neglect n Definition: failure, omissionAntonyms: attention, care, recollection, remembrance, success Oh well. Who really cares, anyways. I had the wonderful opportunity to […]
I got home from Toronto just two days ago (Monday). For only two weeks with my life carried on a hard disk with me, it seems like an awful lot has changed. An annoying, but not critical, change has been the lack of my mac. All you mac haters, rejoice: there was one flaw in […]
I don’t usually blog like this, but I had a semi-moment of inspiration, only being semi- because it might be complete crap. Well, I was thinking about sorting when I thought about using math to quicken the process. This most obviously works with numbers, though I think it can be used for other stuff as […]
