I’ve heard that some interviewers and hirers have started googling candidates. Well, if you’ve googled me, and you’ve figured out that I’m not this guy from Oregon, thank you for your interest, and welcome to my blog! This blog is a personal venture where I post anything I want to say to the world, or […]

BBC Curse Words [contains adult language]
Published August 1st, 2007 in Uncategorized and Links. 0 CommentsI came across this list of words the BBC doesn’t want people saying. There are more than seven.
I was rather surprised to see how high on the list “nigger” is for the BBC, since, well, American TV seems to have no problem with it. During one of the breaks during college I happened to catch […]
There’s other more important things that I’d like to post about, but this caught my eye when I was reading a link from The Forward. Maybe it’s me, but isn’t this logo just disturbing?
Link: Republican Jewish Coalition.
From a footnote in my Property casebook regarding the fact that some jurisdictions allow for very long leases:
Yale University still receives annual rents from 999-year leases of Connecticut farmland executed in the 1700s. Fred Strebeigh, Yale’s 999-Year Leases, Yale Alumni Mag., Dec. 1976, at 29.
I clearly need to look up that issue of YAM.
Makes me like Tim Tagaris even more…
Published September 3rd, 2006 in Uncategorized, Soapbox, Friends & Family, Chess and Links. 0 CommentsI’m already moved into Cambridge (though not quite ensconced; thanks Max for the new word), and my first post since my arrival really should have been about HLS. I’m sure I’ll get to that some other time, seeing that I have three years for my sentence until my degree. But in the meantime, I saw […]
So, I’ve been looking for a “solution” to my chess-blogging problem for a while, now. Originally, I was hoping to find a plugin for wordpress that would take a pgn file and generate a game. Instead, I present the following game that I just quickly played (and lost) to SigmaChess Lite. The applet is generated […]
Wimbledon! And no blogging for some time.
Published June 26th, 2006 in Uncategorized, Programming and Friends & Family. 0 CommentsYes, that’s right. Wimbledon started today (though NBC coverage doesn’t start until Saturday). I have strawberries. I have cream. I have tea. Heck, I even have Pimms. Life is good.
On the whole coding front, it seems that in my excitement to learn how to code by picking a project and diving right in, I’ve forgotten […]
Just looked at my site with Safari, and realized that something is messed up. It still loads in Camino, which makes me figure that Camino is being more generous to my HTML. This will be a good excuse to look under the hood of Wordpress for a while. Pardon my dust while I do this […]
Just testing out Bunny’s Technorati Tags plugin for Wordpress. If I can’t get something like Performancing for Camino or Safari, and I’m not terribly interested in trying out Flock for a second time after seeing how fast Camino and Safari are, I decided to make tagging easy to do straight from the post-writing page. Now […]
OK, after a lot of stress, I’ve finally managed to create an openID identity with the help of myopenID.com. I’d like to be able to get avatars in there, but that’ll be for another day.
I’m also not crazy about the fact that all of my pages on this blog have the appropriate text in the […]
