Greek tragedy
A whole fu***ng bowl. Of Raisin Bran. And not one goddamn raisin. Just bran and milk. I knew it, I anticipated it when I poured the cereal through the too small hole in the bag, could see the raisins clogging up the inside....
Just kill me now.
As the phases of the lunar cycle go, so do my moods. It's looking like the bitter cynical one's getting ready to take over for a few months, after a spell of corporate scumbag positive attitude followed by that which I shall not describe, which is also over now.

(i)Phony ? may be...but treos like it
Jobs & Co. are having a mighty strong fit over a new free utility that allows smartphone owners to skin their phones with the famous iPhone user interface. Appropriately, the utility is called iPhony...for all the wannabe iPhone owners who won't be buying it anytime soon (due to the 600 giga-watts price sticker on Steve's new gadget), there's only one word that describes iPhony: Brilliant!!
Of course, Stevie stepped in with his lawyers and had iPhony removed from the distribution site before back-benchers like me could rush to download it.

A screeching fan of renewable energy
Picture this: a small windmill on top of every house, making all of us power genertors (at least when the fair wind blows) and saving the earth from the oven. What could possibly be wrong with that ?
I will tell you what: the bloody fan on top of my roof screeches like a crazed madman when the wind is too high ! Spent the whole of last night awake and thinking about all the CO2 being saved.

Liveblog
So it's a happening Friday night, and as I flip through the channels what do I see but the NBA Celebrity All Star Game. I have got to liveblog this.
East lineup includes Michael Clarke Duncan, Nelly and some other random people. West lineup has Jamie Foxx, some random dudes ( some flo from Access Hollywood ) and Bow Wow! When did he drop the Lil? And speaking of Bow Wow, caught a bit of Be like Mike the other day... actually, forget i said that.
did I mention there's a WNBA player here? Will be very embarrassing if she doesn't dominate this game...
- no points yet. Two missed free throws and a few missed shots.
- the wnba babe hasn't scored yet.
- wow there are two wnba players.. one of them just scored!
- Michael Clarke Duncan labors up & down the court.
- Hmm, seemed like a good idea a few minutes back.
you know what, i can't take this anymore.... I give up. Seinfeld where are you ?!
UPDATE: Didn't finish seeing this game, but by the end of the first quarter the score was 8-3 West leading, with Bow Wow having scored all the baskets. Two Wnba players combined points - 2. Just feel like you guys need to know these things. Oh, and they would break away during the game occasionally to show some random clip from one of the celebrities' shows. So much for the purity of the game ....

To Wiki or not to Wiki
A recent story about citing Wikipedia as a legitimate reference appeared in Daily Illini. I enjoyed this article partly because it echoes my sentiments on the subject, but primarily because it upholds the standards of careful and through research. While writing papers, we have the choice of including a variety of references, perhaps all acceptable to make the point, but not all are equally acclaimed.
What we cite as the source of our information is often indicative of the extent of reliability that can be placed on our arguments. It's in this sense that Wiki does a disservice to the researcher: the very fact that the source of information is an editable web site dampens the impact of the argument and the conclusions thereof.
