Cool! The official Harry Potter site is now up! It’s a bit Flash-intensive, but it’s worth it, I think. Make sure you watch the introduction movie… The tone of the design seems to be darker and scarier than I expected. And I’m proud to announce that I’ve been sorted into Gryffindor!
Microsoft says open-source software is un-American. Excuse me while I collapse in giggles. Whew! That’s a good one. On a related note, I just bought Rebel Code: Linux and the Open-Source Revolution for vacation reading. It looks good… I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Sorry for the lack of posts today. I’ve been in running around between offices for meetings. Ugh. All done now. *smile* And my mom just came through with the happy thought of the day: My younger brother Anthony was designed “Tuffy Muffler Player of the Game” at his high school basketball game last night. He had 16 points against our curséd rivals, the Panthers of Prairie Heights. Congrats, Antny!
Apartments.com is hosting a contest to find the Messiest College Apartment in America. The winner gets $10,000. Suddenly I wish I had taken more pictures of the room I shared with Eileen Dunne freshman year…
MenWhoLookLikeKennyRogers.com. This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I had to run around and show everybody in my office. Damn, I love the Internet.
Hey girls! (Boys, hide your eyes.) Apparently Procter & Gamble are developing high tech, interactive panty liners that will tell you when you’re going to get your period, when you’re ovulating, if you’re pregnant, and if you have an infection. (Sounds nuts, but true!) The only problem I have with this idea is that women are going to be persuaded into wearing panty liners every day. That’s insane – nobody does that! So while it sounds like some great breakthrough for feminine health, it’s actually just a giant cash cow in the making for Always and Tampax. I’ve posted a much longer rant on this article at Plastic. (Okay boys, you can open your eyes now.)
Um, apparently this week is Chastity Week at ND. There are soooo many things I could say about that, but I won’t.
Hahaha… Notre Dame got hit pretty hard by the Anna Kournikova Virus, but our sister school St. Mary’s (which is all-female) didn’t. Go figure.
Wow. There’s an article at the Observer about a girl from Howard Hall who was banned from the dorm after breaking parietals. I can’t believe that the punishment is so harsh. I always had the impression that a lot of coed sleep-overs happened on campus, but this makes it sound like they’re really cracking down.
Salon’s music critics pick the 10 most paranoid songs of all time. #7 is “Private Eyes” by Daryl Hall and John Oates, which was the inspiration for my sister’s weblog.
