It seems as if I’ve been churning out blog entries like there’s no tomorrow, these days. This blog is my 47th entry, which is quite a milestone. When I joined 360, I had no idea what a neat community it was. I didn’t guess that I would have my own blog, or that I would [...]

Yesterday, I got to go see an amazing concert, put on by none other than the San Jose Taiko. This group has been around for over thirty years, and have taken Japanese taiko drumming to a new level.
Before going to the show, I was not at all sure what to expect, though I knew it [...]

I read a really strange article today about what sort of random and useful things you can do with ordinary things. The premise of the article was that you don’t need fancy shmancy store-bought stuff to do everyday things.
With a small pang of guilt, I admit that I read this article in Reader’s Digest magazine. [...]

Meeting new people is always an interesting experience. There are all sorts of ways to meet people, too many to list here. You’d think there would be some sort of conventional way to meet new people, but that would probably take the fun out of things.
For most encounters in which social pleasantries are exchanged, there [...]

Lately, the weather here has been something short of cold. It’s January, and I can still wear tee shirts outside during the day. Many people I know rejoice at this lack of a true winter, and relish in the general warmth. To them I say bah! My chances of skiing, which I was hoping to [...]

Yesterday, I mentioned that I had a new and exciting entry to share. I didn’t lie. The ‘exciting’ part is debatable, so I’ll let you decide. At the very least, it’s new. Anyway, I had said, quite mysteriously, that it would be about “running into people,” or something to that effect.
First, I want to take [...]

My life has been a bit hectic as of late, for which I have one thing to say: ugh. I like to be busy, but when a semester starts it’s always a little overwhelming. But hey, I’m still here, and I’m still me, so no complaints. This week I’ve been having a bit of hard [...]

Before I begin, I would like to make the following disclaimer:
I do not study sociology. I just happen to like people watching, and I am forever seeing new, unusual, funny, or pitiful things people do.
Today was no exception. I commute to school, and then park and take a shuttle to campus. The shuttle system at [...]

Today I had the privilege of watching the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts game (I won’t give away the ending, in case you missed it and happened to TiVo or tape it). It was quite a game. Apart from the game itself, one of the things I love about professional sports is [...]

Have you ever noticed that the English language is intrinsically weird? I’ve known this for a long time, but every now and again I am amazed at some of the oddities that come from speaking a language. I won’t bore you with any details, but I will give an example.
I imagine you’re familiar with tissues, [...]
