Would any old Oregon Daily Emerald alumni be up for this?

Ken pointed me to a new site that he and some folks are working on called 210west.com. It was a site put together by a bunch of BG News alums as, basically, an independent journalism/news blog (210 West Hall is where the newsroom was located on the Bowling Green campus, hence the name).

Are there any old Oregon Daily Emerald alumni who would be interested in something like this? A journalism/alumni site of sorts, with maybe an online database for old alumni members? I can provide hosting (if Judy will renew my Alumni club membership ;-)) and setup the software that runs this site for use. I can even buy 300emu.com or something :-). Just e-mail me if you’re interested, or comment here.

Look at the picture above the link for “Search” on this site. Is that Yoda? Thanks to NTK.

The World Has Gone Mad!

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America’s Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn’t want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named ‘Bush‘, ‘Dick‘, and ‘Colon.’ Need I say more?

Man boobs or woman boobs — which are they?

Can you tell the difference? Some of those pics are quite revolting. From b3ta.

One Weekend a Month My Ass

Just got this from a reservist friend of mine:

Update on 9/30/03: A full update on all of this, and what this picture has been doing online, as well as why I renamed the image how it is, who has been linking to it, etc…, is available in this recent post.

Shadowbane Journal – First entry

Ok, so I’m playing this MMORPG called Shadowbane. It’s pretty fun, but I keep re-rolling characters instead of sticking with one past level 30.

Part of this is due to how many character class/race combos there are, and ways to tweak each combo into a unique style for gameplay.

So, I’m sticking with my assassin, Kaytana. She’s level 25 (easily attainable in 3-5 gaming sessions), a female Shade, and has been entertaining to play so far.

I’ve been running around in a region of temperate forests and hilly plains. The major city is Kings Cross. Times are difficult…I spent much of my savings on a fantastic dagger, but have been repeatedly slaughtered by wandering assassins.

What ever happened to honor among thieves?! Levels 21-31 are the hardest to advance through, because there are so many others out there who can take you out. By level 32, you stand a much better chance of fleeing from a higher level attacker and living.

Unless, of course…its an assassin…

—————————————–

Update – I stayed up way too late last night, and made it to level 30, and joined a guild. I was recruited into The Phalanx…apparently someone’s been attacking the city (they destroyed our bank), so they are beefing up the population.

It’s a sad, sad day. He will always be Atticus Finch to me, but he’s played in many great movies.
