haven’t posted in awhile, i wrote too much last time so i needed a writing break. good thing i’m in engineering.

i didn’t do so hot in nelson’s oscar pool (289/331), i think i used the wrong strategy. next time, i won’t spread my points around, i’ll just bet everything on lord of the rings.

some goofy things in the news lately:

• an 83-year-old man was found lying dead in his yard next to his wife after he fell
• imagine driving backwards for two years in heavy traffic
• suicide bomber says…he wasn’t the suicide bomber, really!

and then for something of a more serious nature, slate has an article about BT, which if anything is bad news for it. also in related piracy news, the guys behind mp3 are planning to add drm to the mp3 format, which if you ask me is kinda dumb. people don’t use mp3 over drm’d aac or wmv just because it’s more common, it’s also because there’s no drm. i don’t think a drm format will be popular just because it has an extension of mp3.

usa today finds that between 2 and 7 percent of american adults blog. ignoring the fact that i’m in canada, i’d say that figure was about right. although i’m somewhat disappointed that going to such a high-tech school would have so few people blogging. then again, maybe i should’ve taken comp eng instead.
