This is just disturbing. Turning real life into a what is, essentially, a gambling parlour event? We're meant to place wagers on frivolous things like horse races and football games, not on whether or not such-and-such-political-figure DIES in x number of days.
Is this the best strategy that the Pentagon can come up with? Because it's fscking retarded.
I give props to Ron Wyden for speaking out against this, and I'm surpised that more haven't. There are so many better ways that money could have been spent. And of course, I say this as my college tuition goes up, *YET* again.
On a more cheerful note, I MUST SEE BUBBA HO-TEP. I've been wanting to see it since Bruce Campbell himself talked about it at that book signing I went to a couple years ago. I'm totally going up for it on 9/19. :D
Anyway, the meeting was good today. I showed some pages, and it looks like I'm working in the right direction. We discussed and narrowed down some options, too, so that makes matters easier for me on the rest of this. It looks like we basically have our template nailed down, too, so I can start pasting in my code, and actually seeing what the site would look like in all its glory.
I just inquired about a web design/dev job that Hennessy forwarded to the old CIT class from the CS jobs mailing list. I can easily kick the average computer scientist's ass on the design aspect, and I have the necessary back-end skills, so maybe I'll hear something. It sounds more like a contract than a job, per se, but it'd be money and experience. :D

Jul. 29th, 2003 08:37 pmHoly shimatta, I'm SO TIRED. I neglected to mention that I only got ~4 hours of sleep last night, because I was up late coding, and then got up early for the meeting. I think I'll be crashing out soon, at least for a bit.
I'm currently watching Dead Like Me, on Showtime, which is oddly entertaining, and I'm not entirely sure why. The current episode is featuring that Noxzema bitch that got on to 90210 after it got really crappy.
And yes, *all* Noxzema girls are "Noxzema bitches", because how many of those chicks ever touched the stuff outside of the commercial? Meanwhile, I have sworn by the stuff since I was TWELVE. Where's MY commercial? It could be like one of those commercials where so-and-so has driven their Toyota for over 100,000 miles! ::adlfjsadfklashflkasdhfkl::
Yeah, okay, so it's a weird idiosyncracy of mine. Pardon me. ^^;
Anyway, there's also one character on this program that totally reminds me of Doyle (from Angel, duh), although I think it's more due to his appearance and vocalization than actual character aspects.
I'm going to make with the sleepy-sleep now, but don't be shocked if I'm posting again within a couple hours.
