Back to School

Last day today. Back to DC on Monday. Very much looking forward to it, but slightly sad that my interactions with cheese will drop dramatically starting tomorrow. I really enjoy cheese and now I know that more than ever. Today I got some great pictures of the place; it really is amazing.

I Love Photoshop; I Couldn't Resist

Tiger Shoes

I'm looking around for shoes. I'm navigating through zappos.com for about an hour, and I see these shoes. What the fuck? The other designs by this guy are pretty fucked up also, but this sums it up for me. Jeeez-us. I mean really. Is this art?

Summer

OK, so, I started working at my camp this summer, and then it started raining. And it kept raining. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but it is important in this case to note that my camp is on an island in the middle of the Delaware River. So, we evacuated. Instead of working at another camp or cleaning up mine, I opted to work at DiBruno Bros. in downtown Philly instead. I work at the "cheese cave," and I love it. I eat and learn about cheese all day and get to be downtown. It has already given me a much deeper appreciation for the city. So, I'm around, and I may be posting some more. Also, note I've added a nice new music feature at the bottom. Isn't that nice?

Totoro

I just rented this magical movie and my girlfriend just bought it—"My Neighbor Totoro," along with 12 other Miyazaki films for $34 off of E-bay. All of his movies are spectacular, whether he intends them for children or not. I look forward to seeking more of them.

Fats!

What a classic spidey spurn!

The New (Digital) Terrorist Threat

I read this very interesting article in the International Herald Tribune today. It talks about how the terrorists involved with the Madrid bombing shared common email accounts and saved drafts to leave each other notes: "Intelligence officials have said in the past that terrorist groups were using the trick, which investigators call a 'virtual dead drop.' But few concrete examples have come to light, especially in an attack as extreme as the Madrid bombings, which killed 191 people." Tools designed for convenience should not aid in destruction, but there is no real way to track this sort of thing, which must be frustrating to techies everywhere, to say the least.
