soon, terrorists will be crossing your streets

in regards to recent hacks of crosswalk buttons...

The FBI has shut down the button hack site citing violations of the DMCA and fears that terrorists might use the hacks to "cross the streets of America at will."

good thing traffic lights stop them from doing that...

i feel like i'm wasting away.

besides work and volunteering, all i do is sit at home on the computer or on the couch, consuming the garbage called mass media like a fat kid's proverbial consumption of "cake". i know i'm on the receiving end of the consumption, but simultaneously, its exactly the opposite; my soul is slowly being consumed by all that is unholy, the empty simulations that suck away all of my energy, creativity, intelligence, and willpower, replacing it all with apathy, incoherence, and a sense of vacuous contentment. and they make it all so easy. video games and tv are just button presses away from sucking my attention into an ever amusing but ultimately unsatisfying whirlpool of the most cleverly concealed feces ever to touch the senses of people. this addiction to postmodern opiate of the masses must stop!

in other news, i'm building a solar death ray. this ambitious project hopes to combine my love of burning things with my love of the great outdoors. just kidding, i hate the sun, but i won't hesitate to exploit its powers or burnination for evil. i know this project is meaningless, but at least it requires some thinking and effort.

Princeton at the Pfister

Just got back from the Princeton Club dinner. A Joshua T. Katz spoke about linguistics, and he was phenomenal. He was an undergrad at Yale, got his masters at Oxford, and his postdoctorate at Harvard. Now, he teaches at Princeton. Anyways, he gave this speech about etymology, which sounds dry and boring, but is awesome when one of the words he talked about was the latin word: testis.

That means two things - testicle, and witness. Which is quite odd, for reasons you probably already know. Well, apparently, people used to swear by putting hands on testicles. There's apparently, multiple bible stories, where people are instructed, when swearing, to put "hands under thighs" in order to make promises.

Random Events

i have to go to work again tomorrow. there's nothin worse than the eight hour work day. i just can't wait till i actually have to get a real job. damn you market capitalism!! quit exploiting me.

in other crappy news, gotta volunteer at the hospital wednesday and friday mornings for four hours a piece. real ghei. it doesn't help that the beginning of the summer is when no kids show up. so its me, and like 6 old people who don't do any work. i mean, i guess its justified, cause they don't have functioning bones and whatnot, but still, it's kind of annoying having to do everything.

i have my princeton club banquet on wednesday. liz will be there, right after she gets back from italy. AND, i get to skip class for it. woo

i leave for camp in about a month. can't wait.
