Net Neutrality

Net NeutralityNet neutrality is an increasingly important issue. What is scary is that almost all Americans do not know what it means [source]. Basically, if net neutrality fails what will happen is AT&T, Verizon, and other internet service providers will have full control of what you will be able to see on the internet.

Booze Reviews: Spaten Optimator

For the return of Booze Reviews, I’ve decided to do something different.

Nerds: Making Things More Complicating Since 1974

1974: The first PC invented. We all thought our lives were good with normal non-HD non-satellite TV, tape and record players, and regular house phones (half of which didn’t even have a buttons). Now here comes the PC. I am attached to my computer because of work and I am thankful as my computer gives me work, but before the PC, life was simpler. (P.S. This is just a guess as I am not that old. This is a college website you old fogies!)

2008: Nerds make ordering pizza three to the third power times more complicating. It’s called Pizza Party. You can now order Domino’s Pizza through your computer using terminal. Woo hoo! I was waiting for this day since my first days of playing with DOS. Why waste that whole minute on the phone? Spend it on your computer since you love your computer and cannot bare being away from it. You nerd!

Oh Shit, A Cat’s Stuck in a Tree!

This is perhaps the most ridiculous news story I have ever seen. It’s from KCRA 3 in Sacramento and only four seconds long. Just watch it and tell me if you think there was not a whole lot happening in Sacramento that day. I can’t wait until 11!
