Thursday, August 21, 2003 This entire week, I've been wishing for something insightful or at least remotely interesting to expound about, but so far, nothing has come to me. Maybe this is a good thing for the people who only come here for the links with commentary. Off to Freshman Year, a Perfect Score in Hand. I did not get a perfect score on any standardized tests (well on second thought, that may not be technically true, but that is besides the point) or get front page coverage in my hometown newspaper (that, I think, was reserved for the prom queen), but I believe having this sort of publicity is perfect for spawning neuroses that may affect his next years in college if not for the rest of his life. Sure, one should have high expectations for oneself, but having other people expecting great things of you? I still get the shudders when I think about the time I got voted for "most likely to succeed" during sixth grade. Does IM Make U Dum? Perhaps IM-speak is useful and perferred in some instances, but I don't frequent message boards or chat rooms. I don't even have instant messaging anymore due to my paranoia of spyware or viral programs hijacking those communication tools. So I guess I'm free to indulge my linguistically luddite preferences and sound like an old-fashioned dork. I do have shortcuts for taking notes, however, but in that case they're not meant to be read by anyone except me. Outer Space Weirdness. A flash game. It looks very interesting, both visually and as a puzzle. I got stumped for a little while on that guy who smoked pot. Chasm. Another great flash puzzle game. You are a purple platypus who must help restore electricity to your town so everyone could watch the game. The problem is, the electricity is generated by a fiendishly complicated network of hydraulics built on dangerous terrain. [posted by S. Y. Affolee on 4:38 PM : ]
