Electronic Tracking Devices Being Implemented in Dallas Schools
Slashdot is running an article on how the Dallas school system has recently implemented electronic monitoring to curb truancy. I understand that this is a result of No Child Left Behind: the schools need to maintain graduation statistics, or else lose funding. However, this seems very very wrong.
As a kid, I never was very good [...]
Top 3 reasons I hate my car
I drive a 1991 Toyota Camry, and it’s treated me relatively well. However, I purchased it from shysters on the cheap, and it’s caused me lots of grief as a result. I ended up having to get like $1500 worth of work done on it, on top of the $500 I paid for it. So [...]
Sustainable Homeless Shelter
My friend and roommate for two years Miguel just wrote an interesting blog post on a potential solution to the ongoing problem of homelessness here in St Petersburg, FL (Sunshine City!). It’s pretty thoughtful, and worth a read.
Let me know what you think. Miguel’s a very thoughtful hardcore punk-listening Puerto Korecan autodidactic Sufi Muslim. He’s [...]
Stiff Animal Fantasy
I just found Stiff Animal Fantasy, the official and awesome Modest Mouse video for World At Large, the first song off Good News For People Who Love Bad News:

Which I found at Timetube, which is equally awesome. Tell me Timetube doesn’t rock your tiny [...]
Why I will never work for Sears
I always thought Sears was cool. They have nice tools. They sell Dickies. It’s like a department store minus the gouging bordering on rape. However. I am in need of a job at the moment, and I applied there a couple weeks ago.
First off, their application software is bullshit. It is one of the least [...]

Silent Trio
So my band, Silent Trio, after about a year of being together, playing with the wrong people, and having nervous breakdowns (that was me, btw), now almost has a set together. We’ve got the material, and we just need to polish up a couple lyrics and hammer out a few formats, and we’ll be ready [...]
Review: Radiohead at Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL (2008-05-05)
Well, it was awesome. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it to pay $50 to see Radiohead, it is. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it to pay $75 for seats, it is. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it to get up at 4am to drive 4 hours to go see Radiohead, [...]
Radiohead
I’m in West Palm Beach to see Radiohead tonight on their tour for their excellent In Rainbows album. My dad visited St Pete over the weekend, and I had to get up at 3:40am to ride back to WPB with him, my girlfriend, my brother and his girlfriend. Doors are at 7:30pm, and I’m excited, [...]
