For the first time ever, I attended a spring scrimmage game. The UT Orange & White Game (brought to you by a bunch of sponsors I can’t remember) was on Saturday, and about 29,000 Big Orange faithful (i.e. nutcases) were on hand to watch the new offense and the much-anticipated defense. A few [...]

Inhale…and exhale…

No, I’m not talking about things Clinton didn’t claim to do.
Busy is a funny thing. Every time there seems to be alleviation to business, it always finds a way to creep back in. I backed off one class (from 4 to 3) and had a head start in the thesis going into this [...]
Bumper Sticker

While I still cannot understand why somebody would put a bumper sticker on a car, I saw one that was pretty funny:
WANTED
$10,000 REWARD
Schroedinger’s Cat
DEAD AND ALIVE
About 0.001% of this planet will laugh until they cry over that one.
Thoughts on the upcoming season

…of football!
1) It’ll be nice to have something on besides baseball. As in, a sport.
2) Why does the media insists on completely misunderstanding the preseason? I saw two articles this week; one noted that the Colts have won almost no preseason games during the last few years while the Lions have [...]

The title on the front of a graduate-level nuclear engineering textbook at the UT bookstore:
RADIOACTIVE WASTE TECHNOLOGY
The title of the same book, as read on its spine:
RADIOACTIVE WASTED TECHNOLOGY
I think I’ll leave it at that.

On a truly “trail-ready” Jeep parked in the Home Depot parking lot today…
GOD MADE ASPHALT SO YUPPIES COULD GO FOURWHEELING
That’s about right.
Hard to get into Law School?

I swung by the Law Records Office on campus today to ask about registering for an Intellectual Property course in the fall. The procedure?
Tell the secretary my student ID number so she can sign me in.
Wow. Everybody else fools around with that whole “take the LAST and apply” thing. Next stop, Med [...]
Pet Responsibility

Knoxville has some pretty tight pet laws; I am about to make full use of them. When we moved into our house last year, there was a mother cat who had been abandoned by her former owners (they had just moved out a month prior). She had three kittens that she was raising [...]
Retreat!!! (???)
Posted in Uncategorized on July 13, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The House Vote on retreating from Iraq raised my eyebrows a bit today. The fact that 219 of 231 Democrats voted for it doesn’t surprise me (though it still saddens me). The fact that 191 of 201 Republicans voted against it doesn’t surprise me either. However, there were two teensy-weensy facts about [...]
Early NFL Preseason Picks

Since everybody seems to be releasing NFL preseason rankings in some form or other, I figured that now is a decent time to make my comments.
AFC
Likely division winners:
East: NE Patriots. It sounds redundant, but who else? The Jets are the runner up and have a mild shot. at it. Give it another year, [...]
