I now have Windows 7 on my home computer and my work computer and I think I have to say that Vista was less of a hassle.  Win7 might have some slick fanciness but Vista had a lot of the same features but people were too busy complaining that Vista ran slow on their POS [...]

A MAN told today of his disbelief at being fined for blowing his nose while his van was stopped in London.
Michael Mancini wiped his nose with a handkerchief while stuck in traffic in October 2009.  But when the traffic cleared, he was pulled over by police who told him he had not been in control [...]

RIT – Webcams

Driving in today put me in a better mood(I wasn’t necessarily in a bad mood but its morning, lets be honest) because I think that RIT’s campus looks awesome. Now of course, you might think I was biased because I went here and now I work here, but don’t give that idea [...]

RIT was built on a swamp.  A hill in the middle of a swamp, but a swamp none the less.
One of the roads I take to and from campus is John Street.
This summer there were 2 sinkholes in John street right around what would be 400 john street and another one formed yesterday.  It wasn’t [...]

Chili & Cheddar Burger
via RIT – Dining Services : Brick City Catering & Café.
I had a Chili & Cheddar Burger with fries for lunch and it was delicious.  It was from the SAU Cafe; RIT may try to tell you it is now the “Brick City Catering & Cafe” location, but I call bullshit on [...]

A crew from the History Channel interviewed Figer on campus this past summer about star clusters and astronomical objects called pulsars and quasars. “The Search for Cosmic Clusters” is scheduled to run at [...]

I hate printers.  Most of the stuff that gets printed doesn’t need to be printed anyway.  No one needs to print every e-mail they get or every webpage they visit.  And if you think you do need to keep them, that’s why Adobe created PDFs and Microsoft created PST files.
Long story short:

LaserJet 4200n crashes with [...]

We got back around 3pm yesterday, we had beach volleyball @ 6:45 so we didn’t have much time to unpack, do laundry, buy food and eat it before it was time to go kick butt @ the beach.  The games were close, but the other team managed to stay undefeated.
Camping was fun, Dexter was mostly [...]
