Desolation

|

I was up late last night. I was trying to write a paper on Joyce's "Dubliners" and I needed just the right synonym for "desolation." Unfortunately, I found it. I had Instant Messenger running on my computer at the time and the little computer noise it makes when someone sends you a message drew my attention from my thesaurus (yes, I actually still use a real thesaurus and not the electronic kind). An old high school ex-girlfriend of mine, Siobhan, had sent me a message, "hi Liam, how are you?" Now mind you it was 3 a.m., and I still had about four pages left to write in the essay, so I was leery of getting into a long conversation with this girl with whom I hadn't spoke in a year or two.

Say No to Technology

|

Technology scares me to death. Once a proud neo-Luddite, I have spent the past few years arguing passionately, complaining publicly and writing dramatically about the harms of new technological advances.


Opinion

Boston Bound

|

In the interest of meeting new people and networking, I decided to head to Boston this weekend. Actually, it was more in the interest of seeing a city whose brightest lights aren't flashing on the top of a Safety and Security car.


Opinion

Shut Up Already

|

Today's topic might be somewhat controversial, but I think it needs to be said. Everybody Shut The Hell Up! I am at this school for many reasons.
