Pepsi, iTunes, and Protractors

Ok, I'll admit it.  I downloaded iTunes to see what it was all about.

This was before Christams before I got the iPod for Berta.  I wanted to try it out to see if it would be a good choice for her.  She said she wanted something easy to use, and I knew that the iRiver player that I got for her might be too cryptic.

Blogathon 2004 Ideas

Ever since I read about Blogathon last year, I've been impressed with the power of the internet to convey a message and help a cause.

I'm considering (and definitely will, in one shape or form) participating in Blogathon 2004, which is set to take place on Saturday, July 24th this year.  If you're not familiar with the event, it goes like so:  Participating writers of blogs (like me for this site) sign up at the Blogathon site and choose a charity.  They then solicit donations to that charity during a 24-hour event, during which they write a new post at least every 15 minutes.  The event in 2004 will last from 9am local time on Saturday to 9am local time Sunday.  If bloggers abide by the rules, they will have added 96 new entries to their blogs by the end of the event.

Philosophy Journal

You're not really going to get this, I imagine.  It's my journal for Philosophy class.  We're supposed to just write anything about philosophy that strikes us.  Really, anything qualifies.  Some of the stuff in here is just crazy, for example, the part about Plato and Ikea.  Don't say I didn't warn you.

I’m struck by the Athenian method of sentencing.  It might be a good idea to compare this voting method to our current system of sentencing in the US, and for what reason we’ve come to change the method.
