There is nothing like the bombardment of fraternaties and organizations that hound you into joining or donating or whatever. I often see signs like NBSA (National Black Student Association) or HSA (Hispanic Student Association)... and there are many others. In fact, I think there is one for just about every race out there, except white. Why is this? Because if there was a National White Student Association, it would be considered racist. Hrm, what is wrong with us?

I am really liking rentacoder.com (why didn't I find this sooner?).... it's nice to be able to make a few hundred extra dollars per month for doing what I love: coding.

My only issues are that the RAC fee is huge, and that when they pay me, Paypal takes a tiny bit as well! Good god, by the time I get my money it will have diminished almost 20%!

I finally made the switch from IE (long-time user) to Mozilla Firefox and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner! IE is very annoying compared to Firefox, and is riddled with security flaws. My favorite feature is how you can break out of framed pages, such as those that open from links inside hotmail messages.... very cool.

First we know that girls take time and money, so

girl = time X money

next we know that time IS money, so

time = money

substitute in for time in the first equation:

girl = money X money or girl = money^2

now we know that money is the root of all evil, so:

money = sqrt(evil)

and substitute in for the other equation

girl = money^2 and money^2 = evil thus:

girl = evil

That is the lesson of the day....

ugh... first day of classes. What a day, my feet hurt.
