pdgblog (Paul Dino Gaspardo) *REDESIGN IN PROGRESS*You're wasting your time.Monday Moose Blogging- November 22, 2004 Spotted at Grand Teton National Parkhttp://pdg.antville.org/stories/983068/ Bland and Colorless- November 19, 2004 Funny how Orin Kerr tries to assure us the Volokh Conspiracy&8217;s new affiliation with law.com won&8217;t make them &8220;bland and colorless&8221; and suddenly their site seems to have a lot less color.http://pdg.antville.org/stories/980749/ More than you need to know about Fuel- November 14, 2004 The Chevron website has a startling amount of information about their fuel products. For example, here&8217;s the page I landed on through Google. (More relevant, perhaps, is this extensive discussion on fuel economy.)http://pdg.antville.org/stories/974843/ Missing Gas Cap- November 12, 2004 It&8217;s Veteran&8217;s Day: to all who have served to defend our liberty and prosperity: thanks. This morning it was rather warm (55°F13°C). Oddly, that was the warmest part of the day, and the highest temperature since sunday. All the snow is gone; little of the forecast precipitation came&8212;just some light rain. Rain and snow are possible tomorrow. I got Tuesday&8217;s math test back; scored a 94&8212;less than I hoped for. I&8217;d have gotten a 100 but for a few stupid...http://pdg.antville.org/stories/973325/ Various Matters- November 11, 2004 Well, today I got my professor cum advisor to sign off on next semester&8217;s schedule. It&8217;s O.K., but not perfect; for one thing, twice a week I&8217;ll be in class until 5 PM. The alternative was to get out at 3 PM on Fridays, which I definitely don&8217;t want. I&8217;d like to be able to catch an afternoon flight, or at least be able to drive to Boston or N.Y.C. and get there at a reasonable hour. More specifically, we&8217;re planning on flying to California for my February break,...http://pdg.antville.org/stories/972389/ What I did the past 48 hours- November 9, 2004 Last night we went to see STOMP at the Auditorium Theatre in Rochester. It was quite enjoyable, though I think it would have been a tad better if the &8220;scenes&8221; flowed together a bit more; nothing really had anything to do with anything else. I suppose that&8217;s besides the point, though; the show is all about what&8217;s going on now. And what was going on was splendid indeed. (Plus, there was no intermission. The last show I saw, Mamma Mia, went downhill after the break. I think it..http://pdg.antville.org/stories/969970/ How it Happened- November 7, 2004 Probably the best you can read on the 2004 presidential elections is Newsweek&8217;s &8220;How Bush Did It.&8221; It&8217;s an amazing piece of reporting. Oliver Willis isn&8217;t happy: &8220;Know What I Hate About Democrats They can't keep their effing mouths shut. Shut up. Shut up. The media is not your friend.&8221; Favorite quote:&8220;I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot&8221; &8212; John Kerryhttp://pdg.antville.org/stories/968362/ O Canada.- November 5, 2004 Canada Reports Huge Jump in Immigration. &8220;My only theory is that after many years of exposure in the U.S., hockey is finally starting to catch on.&8221; Canadian Army Fortifies Border to Repel Refugee Onslaught from the South. &8220;To let in more of Les fou Americans at this point would pretty much overload the sidewalk spaces already staked out by Canada&8217;s homeless.&8221; þ: Norm & Donhttp://pdg.antville.org/stories/967761/ Too Funny- November 5, 2004 Well, at least one blog called the election right. (I, on the other hand, was less than sucessful)http://pdg.antville.org/stories/966860/ |
