I don’t buy all the hype Vista is making. I did when it first came out way back in…June (?) last year, but as Vista unraveled more, it became apparent that it ripped off a lot of Mac OS X’s GUIs and would be overpriced. I’ll give Microsoft a couple of months (maybe [...]

With the latest news of Apple’s iPhone, it’s kind of surprising I haven’t blogged anything about it yet. Not gonna lie, but I WANT ONE. It’s one of those, “I want it, I need it, I have to have it” sort of thing. But move aside iPhone! You’ve just been ousted [...]

I went shopping at Ruehl today in my scheme to replace all my too-big jeans for smaller jeans…and after I checked out while I was leaving, the lady—no, the girl—at the register stopped me. She asked me if I lived in the area and if I was in school because she said I could [...]

Well, as you all can tell, I finally started my program…real work (not “work”). I’m sitting at the National Reconnaissance Office (yes Kiefer, I can say that) not doing much because I just started this past week. I do not have any kind of normal internet access, and as you can imagine am [...]

I wanted to go out, specifically k street lounge, except we kinda showed up at 10pm before doors opened and we didn’t put ourselves on the guest list—girls $10 cover and guys $20. So the boys (Chris and Phil) decided to hit up a bar and get a little buzzed before returning to the [...]

So I came across this snippet on Slashdot how they’re going to give parents the power to monitor what they’re kids are doing through some software installation on the computer. People are saying that this could drive the MySpace user away to go to the “next cool thing” in social networking (teenagers are fickle, [...]

Most of my Rose peers can attest to not being an ultimate geek who wants to work in a cube for the rest of their lives. In fact, most have planned to attend business school at some point in their lives to get that management edge for their career. But as Business Week [...]

Getting mad is all the rage and, according to the latest research, can also be good for you. Eve Conant lets loose.
I found this interesting because I’m part of the sexes that like to keep my angers within and just stew until the storm passes. Maybe I should be more outward with [...]

Well, we’re back. Came back Friday night. It was really fun, really relaxing, blah blah blah, tropical vacation, you get the idea. Pictures say it all.
In case you’re wondering, we were at the Rockhouse Hotel in Negril, Jamaica.
