it's so hot. milk was a bad choice

nother little random doodle. good times! gonna try some more haha. ahhhh packing.

wuz happenin with ya homeboy

whats goin down.

you like this little exercise in graphic design? haha i was just messin around. i might try to do some more bad abstract graphic design art tho, its a good release.

wow is it hot and muggy outside! air so thick you have to wade through it like a hazy pea soup.

i'm goin outta town for a couple days, then when i come back im moving, so its gonna be busy! but busy is a good thing.

everything's good. stay in touch.

hugs

here that i stand

hey what's up. i've been taking some time off, which is a bummer, but im feeling rejuvenated. there's a bunch of things going on, but i'm doing a decent job of staying on top of everything.

it's very hot out, it's been hot this week. i've pretty much been cooped up in my room staying cool when i've been home, but no complaints. i went out and played basketball yesterday and it was hot and i got a lil overwhelmed but i had a good time. just took forever to cool down.

i watched the pats preseason game tonight and it was very boring and there wasnt much scoring. laaaame.

i'm hopefully going to be able to read some at the beach this week, which i am very excited about.

oh yeah and i saw the movie district 9 which was cool. i kinda wanna see it again and write an essay on it (studying scifi films is pretty sweet. like, there are whole books written on the matrix). sometimes theyre very subversive! and district 9 is definitely subversive).

and i wanna see the cove. but i dont really think its for everyone.

aright ill talk to you soon. many hugs

town meeting

a lot of people yelled at Senator Specter. tough crowd.

"Mr. Specter was met by protesters as he left the meeting. He said he thought some of the objectors were genuine grass-roots and some were organized, egged on by talk radio. He also said the meetings had shown him that 'there's more anger in America today than at any time than I can remember.'"

welcome to new england won't you stay awhile

well, so much for looking for shooting stars tonight. those pesky clouds of fog!

"The meteors can appear in any part of the sky, but the tails of the meteors will point back to the constellation Perseus -- the shower's namesake -- in the northeast corner of the sky.

Another potential roadblock to your meteor watching: The weather. The National Weather Service calls for a "mostly cloudy" evening, and a cloud of fog had settled over Boston at around 6 p.m. this evening, delaying flights at Logan International Airport."

yo

yo hey i really dont like letting this blog be a little dormant, but its for the best right now, i got a couple other priorities

went to nyc for the weekend. went to long island, queens, and manhattan, and got lost in brooklyn on the way home today. good times! saw citi field (huge!) and the nytimes building (rad!) from the highway today, so that was cool

otherwise, enjoying august. trying to play basketball, get sun, get vaguely a tiny bit tan. should be a couple fun parties coming up, im gonna try to squeeze out every last little drop of summer in every day

here are a couple photos from the mp3 beatdown. truuue.

i need a bit

gimme a second

in the meantime, lets take a ride on the red line

mp3 beatdown

one of the most fun nights ive had. at the ica, one free complimentary drink courtesy of puma, great dj, great mc, 8 teams battling with 45 second mp3 punches in the ring for the heavyweight title belt.

showed up ontime and hung out looking over the harbor. what a nice setting. kicked it and gave props to the dj and said good luck to the lab crew and dapped up your boy c dubs. said whatup to your boy new from puma who produced the whole thing, gotta give thanks for that.

views of boston, tons of old school rap, many people having a good time, some incredible break dancing, some friends, it doesnt get much better. puma, you aint bad.

this rock was not here yesterday.

“Some of these things cannot be trained, obviously,” said Jennifer Murphy, a psychologist at the Army Research Institute and the principal author of the I.E.D. study. “But some may be; these are fighters who become very sensitive to small changes in the environment. They’ll clear the same road every day and notice ridiculously subtle things: this rock was not here yesterday.”

in support of all the troops and hoping you all come back home soon

i'm going to go to the library tmrw and get joker one and read it.

collaborative filtering

wow what a phrase. my new favorite phrase. collaborative filtering. it's already how you experience the internet.

a group of people filter out bad information and identify and highlight the good information. this is how certain forums get their value.

looking for something? someone's found it for you and wants you to know.

the truman, i mean the marbury show

stephon marbury is my new favorite person. because he's amazing.

"Going bald at 19 is not sexy. Its not the jump-off."

after the 24 hour ustream thing he then did a nother justin.tv thing.

he's at justin.tv/starburytv

it's like the truman show! except it's the marbury show!
